LaBoeuf I've just come from Yell County.
We have no rodeo clowns in Yell County.
LaBoeuf A saucy line will not get you far with me.

Scenes with LaBoeuf
4 scenes LaBoeuf LaBoeuf LaBoeuf You are getting ready to show your ignorance now, Cogburn. I don't mind a little personal chaffing but I won't hear anything against the Ranger troop from a man like you.
How long have you boys been mounted on sheep down there?
LaBoeuf My white Appaloosa will be galloping when that big American stud of yours is winded and collapsed. Now make another joke about it. You are only trying to put on a show for this girl Mattie with what you must think is a keen tongue.
This is like women talking.
LaBoeuf Yes, that is the way! Make me out foolish in this girl's eyes.
I think she has got you pretty well figured.
LaBoeuf You give out very little sugar with your pronouncements. While I sat there watchin' I gave some thought to stealin' a kiss... though you are very young, and sick... and unattractive to boot. But now I have a mind to give you five or six good licks with my belt.
One would be just as unpleasant as the other.
LaBoeuf I was within three hundred yards of Chelmsford once. The closest I have been. With a Sharp's carbine that is within range, but I was mounted and had the choice of firing off-hand or dismounting to shoot from rest, which would allow Chelmsford to augment the distance. I fired mounted...and fired wide.
You cannot hit a man three hundred yards if your gun was resting on Gibraltar.
LaBoeuf The Sharp's carbine is an instrument of uncanny power and precision.
Oh, I've no doubt that the gun is sound.
