Quote context

[...]

- You'd smoke your pipe to kill the stink of the wind and it wouldn't be bad.

- About those other two. Louis and Auguste. What a pair.

- Louis, he was head man, was a big fellow from the Basque country.

- Black beard, little hard black eyes and a pair of arms that - I tell you, those arms were as big around as my legs.

Top rated lines from this movie

Black beard, little hard black eyes and a pair of arms that - I tell you, those arms were as big around as my legs.
