re: Is Josey Wales the best badass western?

It also has a GOAT candidate final exchange and scene:


FLETCHER: I don't believe that story about Josey Wales.

TEN SPOT: You don't?

FLETCHER: No sir, I don't. I don't believe no five pistoleros could do in Josey Wales.

ROSE: Maybe it was six. Could have even been ten.

FLETCHER: I think he's still alive.

TEN SPOT: Alive? (Laughs nervously) No sir.

(Josey steps down from the saloon, with his back to Fletcher.)

FLETCHER: I think I'll go down to Mexico to try to find him.

(Josey turns to face him, the men look at each other.)

JOSEY: And then?

FLETCHER: (Slowly approaches Josey) He's got the first move. I owe him that. I think I'll try to tell him the war is over.

(Josey nods slightly, as Fletcher notices blood dripping down onto Josey's boot.)

FLETCHER: What do you say, Mr. Wilson?

JOSEY: I reckon so. (Long pause, as Josey thinks of leaving, then turns back toward Fletcher) I guess we all died a little in that damn war. (Josey slowly mounts his horse, and rides away.)
