![]() Jack Elam Quotation"The heavy today is usually not my kind of guy. In the old days, Rory Calhoun was the hero because he was the hero and I was the heavy because I was the heavy -- and nobody cared what my problem was. And I didn't either. I robbed the bank because I wanted the money ... I've played all kinds of weirdos but I've never done the quiet, sick type. I never had a problem -- other than the fact I was just bad." Movie Title: Where the Hell's That Gold?!!? (1988) as Boone: Cross : You've been shot at before. Boone : Not sitting on a load of dynamite. Cross : How about tied to a post?

[Looks at red paint dripping] Joe Danby : What's that? Jake : Oh that? [Smearing it with his foot] Jake : That was the guy who tried to escape this morning. Jake : Well, I did odd jobs... for one thing, I was a Orr holder at Madame Horse's, uh, horse holder at Madame Orr's House. Jason McCullough : I'm beginning to get the horrible idea that you know even less about gold mining than I do, Jake Jake : Of course I don't know anything about gold mining! Jason McCullough : Well, why did you think I brought you along for? I thought everyone around here knew about mining. Jake : Well I don't! I might be able to give you a few tips about shoveling horse... working around the stable, but I don't know nothing about hunting gold. Jason McCullough : It seems like you spent a lot of time with horses. Jake : One end or the other. Of course, I come about it natural. My daddy stole horses for a living. They hung him.

Latigo : One thousand dollars. We'll split it fifty-fifty. That means four hundred for you. Jug : That seems fair. But I think that... Latigo : No, no you don't. That's part of the deal. I do the thinking, you stand around and look tough. Jug : You know, I may not have too much of a chance with Swifty Morgan. But suppose I down him? Latigo : Well, suppose you don't?

But anybody can tell you that Chris Boldt is a man not to be trusted. That means nobody's secrets are sacred with me. Will Lockhart : Uh, huh. And just who were you figuring on selling out? Chris Boldt : You just name 'em! Will Lockhart : It wouldn't be *me*, would it?
