Lonesome Dove 10 Classic Lines

[@montemccarty6512]

For those who haven't read the book...Augustus is the funniest character I've ever read in a book. Duval was the perfect man to play him. He did the book justice. 👏 👏 👏

First time I can say that about a movie

[@davidhardwick3816]

The book is amazing - it's easily the best western novel I ever read, just as the movie is the best western film (IMHO).

[@bobbyjones-dr9il]

I read the book before the movie came out. The casting for the movie was perfect.

[@realmccoy2269]

I was 15 years old when Lonesome Dove aired on TV. It had a huge impact on me, and it taught me a great deal. That final scene between Gus and Woodrow was absolutely devastating. Made me cry a little. I'm 47 now but that scene still makes me tear up. Robert Duvall's performance was brilliant, but he was robbed of the Emmy award for it.

[@historymore442]

Great comment Real McCoy. LD has that type effect on people. Thanks for watching the video.

[@funnyheart643]

That scene always leaves me crying but also when Woodrow gets done burying Gus, two scenes I’m definitely crying no matter how many times I’ve watched it. My husband always wants to watch it at least once a year. And I him sniffling as well ❤️

[@user-ff7wb4fm9k]

On the contrary my friend, the award was LESS than worthy of the gift The Good Lord gave us thru the BETTER THAN EMMY performance Augustus T. Duvall...or is it Robert S. McCrae. LOL God Bless all those that blessed us with the Dove mini series. So thankful (more so) McMurtry wrote those books!

[@drew5337]

42 here. We bought a VCR so my dad could record it when it aired on TV. We wore out those recordings. And 2 sets of VHS tapes. And at least one DVD set. When I got the bluray that has been remastered, it was like watching it again for the first time, and because Simon Wincer is a genius sent by God, it was shot in widescreen. Get the BluRay if you don't already have it. Duvall has said publicly that it was his best and favorite role. I don't think a character in any medium has ever been executed with such perfection.

[@robertreisner6119]

One of my grandfather's statement to teach me was " Best to have it and not need it". It floored me when Capt. Call said the same thing to Newt. Grampa was born in 1880 and passed in 1981. 3 days shy of his birthday, it was the only time I ever saw him going into the house to take a nap in mid afternoon. It was his final sleep.

[@reginabusten828]

My husband and I watch the series once a year for 20 years, I like the quote by Gus, he’s telling Woodrow u work to much, I feel obligated to to work less… I butchered that quote 😂 but it at the beginning. And also I learned the series started with two movies DEAD MANS WALK, and COMMANCHE MOON! WHEN IT WAS not Robert duval or tommy Lee jones but the characters did a excellent job playing Gus And Woodrow when the were YOUNG before becoming rangers !! Most excellent movies 👍

[@lightcaesar]

It's hard to pick only ten lines when (no exaggeration) every other line of dialogue is pure poetry... and you get six hours of it!

[@historymore442]

Excellent comment lightcaesar. Thanks for watching the video.

[@OceanSwimmer]

I bought a copy of this movie when it was on VHS (a long time ago!!) It was Christmas Season and I wanted something for me, my husband, and kids to enjoy. I hadn't seen it yet, and the selling point was the young clerk at Tower Records, in Mohawk and punk piercings who said he and his mom watch it together every year. He was a respectful, sweet guy who I never would have guessed to be nostalgic about a movie, much less watching it with his mom. We watched it as a family and loved it. Not a dry eye in the house when Gus and Woodrow take their leave. My children are now all in their 30s and we still quote lines now and then. The Old West was a dangerous, colorful time. The book and it's sequel are great reads.

[@historymore442]

Nice story OceanSwimmer. Family memories can never be taken away from us. That's why they are precious. Thanks for watching the video.

[@OceanSwimmer]

@@historymore442 -- We have enjoyed this movie from many perspectives: -- As a story of the Old West. -- As a reminder that tragedy in MANY forms happened every day back then (we take our recovery from accidents and illnesses for granted) -- As a reminder that life was HARD in those days. -- That there are people in our American past who did the best they could to make a good living: the Cowboys and Cattlemen (my paternal grandfather raised cattle & horses) --- Only the Strongest survived! That same grandfather complained of 'a little stomach trouble' which turned out to be a ruptured appendix. He survived the operation and recovered to live to be 74 or 75. The youngest of 6 brothers, he was born after his father returned from the Civil War.

[@Harmelcon]

Finally--someone has gone on record with one of the best lines in the film. "Augustus," says Woodrow, right before Gus dies. There was so much memory and deep feeling in the drawn out way he said it, as if he had said, "Goodbye to you my dearest friend."

Well said Geoff. Thanks for watching the video.

[@alanmcneill2407]

The line that gripped me, and the characters in the story, was " Well hell boys, I 'd sooner be hung by my friends than a bunch of damned strangers" Yes, he did indeed "die fine". so sad he couldn't have lived better. As aggravating as Jake could be, Gus was still his friend, "Jake liked to drink, and he didn't like to work. I got those same things myself" Gus is the most lovable character I have ever known, in any movie, book, or TV. Thank you Mr. Duvall!!

[@delcapslock100]

Excellent choices. Two of Gus's stand out in my mind: "Lorie darlin life in San Francisco is still just life." And after Deet's death: "woodrow I don't even want to start thinking about all we should've done for this good man." That's from memory, so might not be exact.

I always liked the scene where Gus took the time to say good-bye to Xavier, knowing he was feeling down about losing Lori to Jake Spoon. It was just one of those scenes that defined Gus as a "good guy" to the audience. The line at the end of the scene is worth including..."Goodbye, my fine friend." "Goodbye to you, my good friend." The importance of the scene was shown at the very end, when Call asks what happened to the saloon, and the reporter tells him the owner burned it down with him inside...because he never got over losing Lori.

[@derekschaerrer249]

Really couldn’t agree more with you! Such a powerful scene for all the reasons you just mentioned. I would also like to add that to me it was almost like Gus knew he wasn’t coming back to Lonesome Dove. There was a little foreshadowing throughout the movie that he wasn’t coming back.

I love all 4 movies of the Lonesome Dove series Lonesome Dove is the best of the 4 and Comanche Moon is my second favorite. Gus was such an amazing character

[@historymore442]

Agree Barry. Woodrow was great too, but Duvall/Gus stole the show. Great actor, great role. Thanks for watching the video.

Wonderful video Sir! Thank you.

[@historymore442]

Thanks for the kind words Mike and thanks for watching.

[@quest4adventure508]

Best Western of ALL time! Period! 100%!!!

[@historymore442]

i agree Craig.

Duval in general is one the finest American actors of any generation, not flashy or over the top performances, but solid work time after time. Hes been overlooked because of that in my opinion. If Lonesome Dove was a film ; that was an Oscar performance all day long. For me it's between Lonesome Dove and Unforgiven ; they're both immaculate.

I don't cry when Augustus dies like I don't cry at the end of Field of Dreams.

My old Mum watched this saga when it was first aired way back. She liked it so much she bought the Dvd when it eventually came out. I watched the Dvd and then read the book. Probably the wrong order but one of the best parts in the book, for me, was when they came across a Montana grizzly which took exception to the presence of the herd leader, the Texas Bull. I remember Woodrow Call's words when he first realized what this enormous critter was 'My Lord. It's a grizzly' ! ....... And Larry McMurtry's words "the horses were turning and running as if they meant to run back to Texas"! And when Gus realizes the Texas Bull is squaring off to the grizzly he says "you don't think that little bull is fool enough to charge that bear, do you"? ........ "that bear will turn him wrong side out"! Unforgettable book.

Great book and film.

Another good line from Gus, “‘It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living,’ Augustus said. ‘I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.‘” I also like how he tells Woodrow that while he would not kill him, he "would darn sure shoot him safe"

[@historymore442]

So many good lines in LD.

Thanks to anyone who watches this video. I have another video entitled Lonesome Dove 5 Classic Scenes. Here is a link to that video kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2PblYZ3g5WMsNU. I have no rights or ownership to any of the clips used in this video. I just used them to hopefully create an entertaining video.

Book and film are both great Brian.
