FAMOUS LAST WORDS

[Major 2]

"Do it mean what I think it do?  It do!"

   


"Strike the tent"- Gen. RE Lee
" Let us cross over the river and sit in the shade of the trees. "  Gen. TJ "Stonewall" Jackson

"Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something." - Pancho Villa

[Daniel Nighteyes]

Daniel,  My Grandpa used to say that Custer's last words were, "Last time I buy one of those D****d Arrow shirts!"

[Captain Lee Bishop]

A SGT I served with went to the sandbox and swears that a brand new 2LT (West Point grad, of course) said this as his last words:
"Don't profess to tell me where to seek cover, Sergeant, you do know I outrank -"

[Texas Lawdog]

Capt., Those 2nd LTs need to pay attention to the Sgts. more often, they will live longer.

[Frenchie]

Frenchie, I cannot believe you even watched that movie let alone posted a quote from it here. I had to sit through it a number of time because my daughter thinks it is great though sappy.

I love it, seen it three times now. The book is different, more sombre and darker in places. They both work on several levels, with the movie simpler and, of course, more in tune with the barking moonbat Hollywood politics. I think the movie was really well cast.

[Forty Rod]

Capt., Those 2nd LTs need to pay attention to the Sgts. more often, they will live longer.

Yes they will.....and yes I did.

[Daniel Nighteyes]

I love it, seen it three times now.

Its one of our two enjoy-them-over-and-over-again movies (the other is Tremors, if you can believe that).  I especially enjoy watching Mandy Patinkin as the swordfighting Spaniard:  "Hello!  My name is Inigo Montoya.  You killed my father.  Prepare to die!"

[WaddWatsonEllis]

I have to admit that this is one of my favorite movies ...

First, there are the two plots unfolding;  the grandfather and the almost adolescent grandson, and the story itself....

Then there is that main plot ... and like Rocky & Bullwinkle, with just enough pratfalls and simple humor for young children, enough angst and unrequited love for the teen crowd, and one liners and zingers so racy  that for most kids it goes right over their head ....

A heck of a movie ....

[Captain Lee Bishop]

"Check this s**t out!"
-Any time a Warrant Officer went out badly

Capt., Those 2nd LTs need to pay attention to the Sgts. more often, they will live longer.

No question. If I hadn't listened to some of my NCO's I'd have been killed at least 2-3 times...

[Icebox Bob]

"Yes Dear, that dress does make you look fat!"

[Bow View Haymaker]

Its one of our two enjoy-them-over-and-over-again movies (the other is Tremors, if you can believe that).  I especially enjoy watching Mandy Patinkin as the swordfighting Spaniard:  "Hello!  My name is Inigo Montoya.  You killed my father.  Prepare to die!"

And his opponent replied after about the 5th time
" would you quit saying that!"

[Pitspitr]

"Yes Dear, that dress does make you look fat!"

I almost died of that once

[Mossyrock]

"Check this s**t out!"
-Any time a Warrant Officer went out badly

HEY!!!!  I resemble that remark!!!!!!  (Not saying it isn't ACCURATE.......)  (Oh, and any time you hear a Warrant Officer say, "Trust me, Sir!"......RUN!!!)

[Daniel Nighteyes]

And his opponent replied after about the 5th time
" would you quit saying that!"

Oh! Oh! Oh!  Looky-looky!

[WaddWatsonEllis]

I was stationed in Northern Spain; and tried to learn enough Spanish history that I would never be the 'ugly American' overseas ...

IMHO. Mandy Patinkin placed in the character of Inego Montoya the best and worst of Spanish society in pre gunpowder ages ... as I continue to watch the movie, I often compare his character's complexity with the nobles found in Don Quixote .....

[Frenchie]

"Yes Dear, that dress does make you look fat!"

That won't get you killed; what'll get you killed is, "No, Dear, that dress doesn't make you look fat; your fat makes you look fat."
