The question is: How things treatin' ya? Wayne: I can't complain. My leg hurts, it means it's bound to rain. Wish them doctors at the VA could get that shrapnel out of my shoulder.

I lost Adeline in childbirth 40 years ago! Every Spring, when the dogwoods bloom and the foals take a first step, I think of the way she.. Jim Greer: I'm sorry, that's wrong. No, no that wasn't grizzled, that was wistful. Mr. Mitchum, you can take a commanding lead here! Tate Mitchum: I've buried wives, but a father should never bury a son.
