"Lonesome Dove" On the Trail (TV Episode 1989) - Tommy Lee Jones as Woodrow F. Call

Woodrow F. Call : The best thing you can do for death is ride off from it.
Augustus 'Gus' McCrae : [riding into San Antonio seeing hundreds of people] There's durn people makin' towns everywhere. And it's our fault, too.

Woodrow F. Call : Our fault?

Augustus 'Gus' McCrae : Well, we chased out the Indians, didn't we? Hung all the good bandits. Did it ever occur to you that everything we done was a mistake? You and me done our work too well, Woodrow. Hell, we killed off all the people that made this country interesting to begin with, didn't we?
Woodrow F. Call : You're lucky they didn't through you in jail.

Augustus 'Gus' McCrae : Well, it ain't much of a crime whackin' a surely bartender. I guess they may have forgot us though.

Woodrow F. Call : Why wouldn't they forget us? We haven't been around here in years.

Augustus 'Gus' McCrae : No, the reason is we never got killed, that's why they forgot us.

Woodrow F. Call : That is a dang foolish thing to say.

Augustus 'Gus' McCrae : No it ain't. If a thousand Comanches had cornered us in a gutter somewhere and wiped us out, like the Soo just done Custer, why they'd remember us sure. Hell, they'd be writin' songs about us for a hindered years.

Woodrow F. Call : Now there weren't ever a thousand Comanches in the whole world, and you know it.

Augustus 'Gus' McCrae : Well that ain't the point, Woodrow!
