Favourite SW quote?

I’ll be very obvious and choose the most classic - “in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig” from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. I think I had it written in my homework journal at high school, lol. But the whole Dollar trilogy is like a goldmine for cool one liners.

Although probably the one I use most in real life is “vado, l’ammazzo e torno” ;D (I go, I kill him, and then I come back) - I don’t know if it existed even before TGTBTU, but it has become a rather common figure of speech in Italian when you have some (non murderous ::)) errand to run and you make sure you’re going to do it quickly.

I prefer ''There are two type of people in the world my friend. People with the rope around their neck & the people in charge of doing the cutting". It sets up the prior line.

Fernando Sancho has some of the funniest lines.

From Turn… I kill you! (after he has shot older man and then his two sons)
“I’m sorry but you wouldn’t have liked to be orphans anyway.”

Many great favourites listed above. :slight_smile:

I particularly like the running joke in For a Dollar in the Teeth, where the bandit leader Aguila keeps asking his henchman “What kind of man am I?”, the henchman replies, “A fair man!”, Aguila says “You’re right,” and promptly massacres the prisoners, double-crosses the hero, etc. Then, in the final showdown, it rebounds on him when the Stranger asks: “So what kind of man am I?”, shoots Aguila, puts a coin into the cead man’s mouth, and answers: “I’m a fair man.”

And then the music kicks in …

Yep,a great final scene of a cool low budget movie.
Like it very much,too

I think this quote is from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”:

Man With No Name: “Every gun makes its own tune.”

This is realy tough, but here goes…

From Once Upon a Time In The West;

Cheyenne: Yeah, go on. Play, Harmonica. Play, so you can’t bullshit.

Frank: The future don’t matter to us. Nothing matters now - not the land, not the money, not the woman. I came here to see you. ‘Cause I know that now, you’ll tell me what you’re after.
Harmonica: …Only at the point of dyin’.

Cheyenne: You know, Jill, you remind me of my mother. She was the biggest whore in Alameda and the finest woman that ever lived. Whoever my father was, for an hour or for a month - he must have been a happy man.

And form Duck You Sucker…

Juan Miranda: You taught me one thing, you Irish bastard: how to get fucked!

Juan Miranda: I know what I am talking about when I am talking about the revolutions. The people who read the books go to the people who can’t read the books, the poor people, and say, “We have to have a change.” So, the poor people make the change, ah? And then, the people who read the books, they all sit around the big polished tables, and they talk and talk and talk and eat and eat and eat, eh? But what has happened to the poor people? They’re dead! That’s your revolution. Shhh… So, please, don’t tell me about revolutions! And what happens afterwards? The same fucking thing starts all over again!

Here’s a good one, from memory:

From Django il Bastardo.

Django: How much for a cross?

Coffinmaker: A dollar. Who’s it for?

Django gives a name.

Coffinmaker: In that case it’s free.

From memory, in La Resa dei Conti:

My favorite quote is the entire Django theme song:

"Django, have you always been alone?

DJANGO!

Django, have you never loved again?
Love will live on, oh oh oh…
Life must go on, oh oh oh…
For you cannot spend your life regretting.

DJANGO!

Django, you must face another day.

DJANGO!

Django, now your love has gone away.
Once you loved her, whoa-oh…
Now you’ve lost her, whoa-oh-oh-oh…
But you’ve lost her for-ever, Django.

When there are clouds in the skies, and they are grey.
You may be sad but remember that love will pass away.

Oh Django!
After the showers is the sun.
Will be shining…

Once you loved her, whoa-oh…
Now you’ve lost her, whoa-oh-oh-oh…
But you’ve lost her for-ever, Django.

When there are clouds in the skies, and they are grey.
You may be sad but remember that love will pass away.
Oh Django!
After the showers is the sun.
Will be shining…
Django!
Oh oh oh Django!
You must go on,
Oh oh oh Django…"
