Here are the rules.

Answer only one quote.

If you answer more than one I will delete your reply. If there are quotes still not answered the next day I will open it up to any and all guesses.

Most weeks there is a theme. If there is not a theme I will tell you. The theme is open to guess even if you have guessed a quote.

The theme has been guessed by controuble, it is Westerns

Don't use a search engine (like this can be enforced). If you don't know, you don't know. Maybe next week you will.

You must either be signed into LJ, or say who you are (in case you are a friend of mine who is not on LJ). All anonymous answers will be deleted (hey, I'm obsessive, I want to know who guesses these). Oh, and don't guess as a reply to someone else's guess, on a busy day that makes it hard for me to spot your answer.

"Texas Across the River" (1966) is a western starring Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, Alain Delon, and has a part for a reasonably young Peter Graves.

It tells the story of Phoebe Ann Naylor (Rosemary Forsyth) and Don Andrea Baldazar (Delon) trying to make it to Texas after Baldy accidentally killed someone on what was to have been their wedding day. Pursued by the calvary, led by Captain Rodney Stimpson (Graves), they are separated and Phoebe Ann is aided by Sam Hollis (Martin) and his faithful, if dumb, Indian companion, Kronk (Bishop).

The theme song, "Texas Across the River" was sung by the Kingston Trio, and the movie may be the funniest western between "Go West" and "Blazing Saddles."

Quotes:

Hollis: "Why weren't you born a Comanche?"
Kronk: "Mother run too fast."


Hollis: "What do those smoke signals say?"
Kronk: "Don't know, only speak 'Kronk'."

Hollis: "Baldy's grave is down by the corral. The jury dug it before the trial started."

Stimpson (repeated line): Harar-har!

I looked it up ... I've never seen this.

We'll rectify that at our earliest convenience.

And here are the lyrics to the theme song.

Texas across the river
Where my wandrin' days I'll bid goodbye.
Just the sound of Texas,
Gits me "boom" in the solar plexis,
It's enough to make a grown man cry!

Texas across the river
Don't need signs to tell ya where you're at.
Ain't a trace of shade there,
Seems the only real shade that's made there
Is the shade that's underneath your hat!

Texas across the river
Where your name is Tex or Sam or Slim.
I just got to ride there,
Gotta git to the other side there,
I just hope 'n' pray my horse can swim!

Texas across the river
Where they treat a stranger fair and square
They may rob and loot me,
They can stab me or even shoot me,
I'll be smilin' if they plant me there!

'Cross the river to Texas,
'Cross the river to Texas
And I'll nevermore roam
Makin' Texas my home!
Makin' Texas my home!...
