John Ford Famous Lines

Here are a few of our favorite lines from John Ford.

Jason Tully (Willis Bouchey) in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance:
"Nothing's too good for the man who shot Liberty Valance."

Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) in The Searchers:
"Let's go home, Debbie"

Old Man Clanton (Walter Brennan) in My Darling Clementine:
"Next time you pull a gun, kill a man!"

Sean Thornton (John Wayne) in The Quiet Man:
"No fortune, no marriage."

Tom Joad (Henry Fonda) in The Grapes of Wrath:
"Seems like the government's got more interest in a dead man than a live one."

Reverend Rosenkrantz (Arthur Shields) in Drums Along the Mohawk:
"Any man failing to report to duty will be promptly hanged. Amen."

Eloise Kelly (Ava Gardner) in Mogambo:
"Look, Buster, don't you get overstimulated with me!"

Captain Flagg (James Cagney) in What Price Glory:
"It's a lousy war, kid...but it's the only one we've got."
