Quote context

[...]

- But it rankles me when somebody tries to force somebody to do something.

- You haven't seen me before tonight, but I am offering you my services.

- If that fella's making you stay in Bexar, I'm ready, willing and able to provide you a transport to wherever you wanna go.

- And on the other hand, if you choose to stay in Bexar, I'm ready, willing and able to see that he don't bother you.

- Would you answer one question with complete honesty, Mister... Tall American?

- Ma'am, only modesty restrains me from telling you that I am widely known for my truthfulness.

- Would you so quickly offer to defend me if I were 60 years old and wrinkled? Or is it because I am young and a widow and you are far from home and your loved ones?

- But thank you, anyway, sir. In any event, this is a matter in which no outsider could help.

- Mister Tall American? I do believe that a woman in trouble, even though 60 and wrinkled, could turn to you for help.

- Good night, ma'am.

You know something, Flaca? I guess I saw who knows how many trees before I ever took a long, thoughtful look at one. Mostly, I looked at a tree to see was there a bear in it or an Indian behind it.
Republic. I like the sound of the word. It means people can live free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober. However they choose.
