Quotes from The Wild Bunch(1969)

*CORRECTED*

gclark and i were talking about oaths and their meanings and what it meant to break them. this talk always puts me back to a quote from one of my favorite movies and makes the point about just what giving your word means. no clear answers:

Pike Bishop: He gave his word.
Dutch Engstrom: He gave his word to a railroad.
Pike Bishop: It's his word.
Dutch Engstrom: That ain't what counts. It's who you give it to.

Interesting distinction . . . it's who you say it to.
