Song of the Gringo (1936)

Tex Ritter: Tex

Quotes 

• Cherokee : You know, boys, it would be right peaceful here if this whinin' and playin' suddenly stopped.

  Tex : [continues to strum his guitar]  That reminds me of an hombre I once knew... always braggin' about how tough he was, and how fast he was on the draw. He and I had a crush on the same girl. 'Course it was no contest... my singin' and good looks cinched it. She fell for me. The showdown came when I was singin' a song he didn't like. I told him to go for his gun. Now considerin' everything, he was powerful fast... but not fast enough. And you know boys, I only missed two notes a-gettin' him... but I picked them up before he hit the floor.

• Evans : Lolita, the Don's daughter, is of special interest to me. Is that clear?

  Tex : Well I-I gather you mean, uh, you don't want no one to cut your fences.

  Evans : You are very, very, comprehensive.
