Lonesome Dove1989

Woodrow F. Call:
You're lucky they didn't through you in jail.

Augustus 'Gus' McCrae:
Well, it ain't much of a crime whackin' a surely bartender. I guess they may have forgot us though.

Woodrow F. Call:
Why wouldn't they forget us? We haven't been around here in years.

Augustus 'Gus' McCrae:
No, the reason is we never got killed, that's why they forgot us.

Woodrow F. Call:
That is a dang foolish thing to say.

Augustus 'Gus' McCrae:
No it ain't. If a thousand Comanches had cornered us in a gutter somewhere and wiped us out, like the Soo just done Custer, why they'd remember us sure. Hell, they'd be writin' songs about us for a hindered years.

Woodrow F. Call:
Now there weren't ever a thousand Comanches in the whole world, and you know it.

Augustus 'Gus' McCrae:
Well that ain't the point, Woodrow!
