A great quote from a great movie

I’d like to share a smile moment I had.

I was at a charity barbeque (the same one where I noticed my broken shoelace) and saw a guy wearing the best T-shirt ever. It had a picture of John Wayne with the words “The hell I won’t!” around it. I didn’t get a chance to tell the man how wonderful his shirt was, but it made my evening.

If you don’t know, that quote comes from McLintock!, one of the best John Wayne movies ever. I own this movie, but you can see the clip that the quote comes from on YouTube (click here.)

Unfortunately, the clip ends before the part where everyone fights and they all end up at the bottom of a watery, clay pit including the well-dressed Maureen O’Hara. It’s a funny scene from a great movie, and I smile every time I see it.

I debated sharing this with you because I don’t know how many of you like John Wayne. But I’m just messing around on Footle and Grok and what better way to enjoy a fun Saturday than with John Wayne saying, “The hell I won’t!”
