Hondo Quote
Hondo Lane: Before I go, I wanna explain somethin'.
Angie Lowe: Yes?
Hondo Lane: It didn't happen in the low way you heard it. I didn't bushwack him
Angie Lowe: I never for a moment thought you did, but you've killed him.
Hondo Lane: I didn't have any choice. He cut loose at me.
Angie Lowe: I should have known that. I should have known you were lying to make me think well of you. Poor Ed. I guess he wasn't the sort of man to die well. Sorry now I hated him so much. I guess he couldn't help being weak and selfish.
Hondo Lane: I just didn't have any choice.
Angie Lowe: I know that.
Hondo Lane: Are you going to feel differently about me?
Angie Lowe: No one has any control over the way they feel. I'm never going to change the way I feel about you. But, well what about him?
Hondo Lane: Yeah. I guess there's some things that just can't... He's gonna be a good man. Good spread to his shoulders. Head works, too. The other night after you went to sleep, he crawled up into my bunk and put his arms around my neck. Made me feel kind of funny, like he was dependent on me. A lot of things I'd rather do than this.
Angie Lowe: You're going to tell him?
Hondo Lane: If I don't, somebody else will. And I got a belly full of lies.
Angie Lowe: No! Your ranch in California: it's too far for gossip to travel. You and your silly ideals. You think truth is the most important thing.
Hondo Lane: It's the measure of a man.
Angie Lowe: Well, not for a woman. A man can afford to have noble sentiments and poses, but a woman only
Angie Lowe: Yes?
