One of my favorite lines in the movie

"Your the kind of man it's a pleasure to hang. If all you can talk is guff, you go talk it to the devil"


Hey folks, first time I ever posted on this board. Came over here, did a little searching to see what the board's opinion was of ol' Lonesome Dove, and this is where I wound up.

Anyway, regarding quotes associated w/the demise of one Mr. Jake Spoon, you're right - the quite you gave is a GREAT quote. My FAV quote though, regarding Jake, is not actually spoken AT his demise scene.

It's when Call tells July Johnson that "he fell in with a bad bunch and we had to hang him." Kinda shook July up - or at least told him how tough the crew he'd come up on was.

My brother and I laugh at that quote. Call ain't got no time for the bs. July realized what lawmen loomed like when he met McCrae and Call.
