That's a hell of a thing for you to say to me.

I've been meaning to put up a post of Tombstone quotes, but I've had a busy day. That would've been one of them. Some more of my favorites:

"Down by the creek, walkin' on water." (Val Kilmer, Tombstone)

"You're a daisy if ya do!" (Val Kilmer, Tombstone)

"Why, Johnny Ringo, you look as if someone just walked over your grave! (Val Kilmer, Tombstone)

And of course, this classic exchange from the movie:

"And you, music lover -- you're next."

"Drunk piano player. You're so drunk, you can't hit nuthin'. In fact, you're probably seeing double."

"I have two guns, one for each of ya!" (Val Kilmer, Tombstone -- first and third lines only)

A couple of my favorites from the Big Lebowski

"Nihilists! F--- me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos."

"Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and bowling, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Donny. Donny, who loved bowling. And so, Theodore Donald Karabotsos, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince."
Walter Sobchak

Another couple "Tombstone" quotes.

" I am a good woman ain't I Doc? I treat you right." ( as her hand sides up his leg) " Yes my dear, you are a good woman. (pause ) But then again you may be the Anti-Christ".

" I'm your huckleberry".

Here's another of my favorites, which I've actually plagiarized countless times when I've been in relationships in the past:

"I know." (Han Solo, in response to Leia saying "I love you.")

Yes.

Just kidding; I like those movies too. I wasn't crazy about the books, though...too verbose.

Anyway, keeping to the thread:

"Son, we live in a world surrounded by walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it, you? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? We use words like "Honor," "Code," and "Loyalty." We use those words as the backbone of a life spent protecting something. You use them as a punch-line. I have neither the time, nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and falls under the very blanket of the freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would prefer if you just said 'thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and man the post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you are entitled to!!!"
