Lonesome Dove1989

Gus McCrae:
Only way to get better food around here is by shooting Bolivar. And another thing, Bol, I want you to quit whackin' that dinner bell for supper. You can hit it at noon if you want to, but lay off doin' it in the evenin'. See, a man with any sense at all can tell when it's sundown, without you whackin' that bell.

Bolivar:
General Robert E. Lee freed the slaves. I can whack it if I want to.

Gus McCrae:
It was Abe Lincoln that freed the slaves, Bol, not General Lee.

Pea Eye Parker:
He didn't free Mexicans, anyway, Bol. It was Americans he freed.

Gus McCrae:
You're in over your head, Pea. It was a bunch of Africans Abe Lincoln freed. No more American than Call here.

Woodrow Call:
I'm American! By God!

Gus McCrae:
You was born in Scotland, as I recall. You was still draggin' on the tit when they brought you over here.

Woodrow Call:
I reckon I'm as American as anyone from Tennessee.
