I love a good western, and was very pleased to have seen the re-make of 3:10 to Yuma. Good movie!
Recently, I was reading the Cowboys & Indians magazine (Oct. 2007), and saw a list of Cowboy Codes, Creeds, and Prayers from various movie cowboys of the past. Well, they missed the best one of all - "I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. And I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same of them". Those words were spoken by John Wayne, playing John B. Books, to Ron Howard, playing Gillom Rogers, in the 1976 release, The Shootist.
"I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. And I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same of them"... That may be a little hard for some people, but I think if everyone took that to heart, we'd all treat each other better!
Rest In Peace Duke!
