The Duke (sans Willie and Mickey)

Adam: Always hated the movie The Cowboys when I was a kid because (SPOILER ALERT!) John Wayne dies ... but I am learning to appreciate it as I am getting older. Some genuinely all-time lines for The Duke.

Gabe: Man, I haven't seen that one in forever. Like maybe pre-college.

Adam: Yeah ... always hated The Duke dying ... especially at the hands of a weasel ... but after watching it tonight ... great stuff.

Gabe: The Duke would have made an awesome Thor.

Adam: "I am 30 years older than you ... had my back broke once and my hip twice ... and on my worst day ... I could still beat the hell outta you."

Gabe: That rules. And it should be your ringtone for your Dad. If he ever called you. Or had a cell phone.

Adam: Seriously. Don't think I remembered that one of the boys was played by Robert Carradine.

Gabe: Nope. Me neither.

Adam: He hasn't done the nerd laugh even once.

Gabe: You ok with that?

Adam: Yep ... 'cause The Duke would have just shot him.

Gabe: Right.

Adam: And then Goose would have been a lonely nerd ... and thus the world would have never known George Clooney and Noah Wyle.

Adam: It's a simple equation.

Gabe: Sure. Although you can make an argument that a world without Noah Wyle is a better world. (note: gabe's wife says noah wyle is "good for looking at")

Adam: Yeah, that's true. But Walker, Texas Ranger wouldn't have been the same without Sundown.

Gabe: Ooh, yeah. Good thing it worked out the way it did then.

Adam: This is like a conversation on Psych.

Gabe: Making you Val Kilmer?

Adam: Yes, I think so. Or Timothy Robbins.

Gabe: Tallest pilot ever.

Adam: Yes he was. I did help serve a meal to Jester once.

Gabe: Congrats on feeding Jester. Was he in that John Wayne movie?

Adam: No, sadly ... just Bruce Dern.
