Most-quoted character in The Missouri Breaks (1976): in 7 of its 17 quotes
A line from Tom Logan [to Clayton, whispering]You know what woke you up? You just had your throat cut.
Tom Logan The first time I met Sandy, he was rustling on his own. He had a stolen cavalry pony and he kept this dog. As soon as he would kill a steer, why he'd cut the brand off and feed it to the dog. So before they could get enough evidence to convict him, they'd have to lock that dog up and pick through his shit for a week before they could find the brand.
Tom Logan The closer you get to Canada, the more things'll eat your horse.
I forgot, you do have your whores, don't you?
Tom Logan Sure do. Like 'em, too.
Well, I'll tell you something. If you want them more than you want me...
Tom Logan I keep telling you, I want them a lot. I don't want you at all.
Well, why are you being so mean to me?
Tom Logan People have been neglecting to tell you what a nasty little bitch you are, and I'm just having to make up for their negligence.
Tom Logan I understand you had to hang someone here.
I did that.
Tom Logan Ah, that's tough. What was this, some kind of desperado?
No, he was a thief... with probably a million good reasons for being on hard times. The main thing is that we put him out of his misery.
Tom Logan I couldn't get no credit at the whorehouse, so I picked up this chubby little girl off some sodbuster's outfit.
Little Tod How was she?
Tom Logan About like a Swiss clock... same exact movement over and over again.
Tom Logan Regulator? Ain't that like a dry gulcher?
Well, that's not the softest term you could use, I'd say.
Tom Logan Well, Regulator, correct me now if I'm wrong, isn't a regulator one of these boys that shoots people and don't never get near 'em?
That's it.
