Ben Johnson's final monologue in "Bite the Bullet" is one of the great moments in cinema. When I first heard it I taped it on an audiocassette AND wrote it out in longhand. Damned if I know where I stored them. I searched youtube with no luck. If you know any Web site that has it, please let me know.
"Mister: God, what ain't I tried. Pony express rider, Overland Stage driver, lawman, gambler, riverman, rancher, rodeo hand, barman, spittoon man... old man. Never much to remember. Of course, there ain't much to forget, either. Nobody's got much use for an old man. I can't blame 'em much. That's why I'm going to win this here newspaper race. When I cross the finish line, I get to be a big man. Top man. A man to remember. "
EXCELLENT! Although, it is being released via Twilight Time, and they usually run so many copies before they become unavailable (I missed out on their GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD run). Here it looks like 3,000 copies will be available.
