From one of old time classic movies, "Tank."
Sheriff Buelton: They're gonna lose, General. They're goin' down in flames and you're gonna help me do it. I just got back from the governor's office, and I can have him call you or he can call your superior if that's the way you want it. But, either way, I'm gonna see some tanks rollin' out here to stop that maniac. Maj. Gen. V.E. Hubik: Go ahead, call anyone you like, sheriff. I don't take orders from governors. Sergeant Major Carey's resigned. Besides, he's committed no major crime in my jurisdiction. Sheriff Buelton: He stole a god damn tank! Maj. Gen. V.E. Hubik: It's his tank he can do what he wants with it! The most I've got him on is busting a twenty foot section of fence. Sheriff Buelton: General, I am the local civilian authority and I am hereby making a formal request of the military to do everything in its power to assist and aid me in apprehending known... Maj. Gen. V.E. Hubik: Posse Comitatus, sir. Sheriff Buelton: Did you call me a pussy communist? Maj. Gen. V.E. Hubik: The U.S. Army is, by an act of congress; Posse Comitatus act, specifically precluded from enforcing civilian law outside the military reservation. Sheriff Buelton: Pussy communist? Maj. Gen. V.E. Hubik: That means I do not have the authority to provide you with a single piece of military equipment or personnel without a direct order from my superior or the President of the United States. I can give you his address, if you'd like. Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

Now there's one for the 'One-Liners That Should Have Been'
Sergeant Major Carey: "Heil Buelton!" Buelton: "Wha'ju say ter me, boy?" Carey: "I'm sorry, you just remind me of another feller used to like pushing folks around. Things did not end well for him." |

(Looks up plot of "Tank"). Corrupt Southern sheriffs were not invented by Hollywood, consider the Battle of Athens, aka the McMinnin County War in 1946, see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Athens_(1946)>. ----------------------------

Lots of great one-liners in this [full] movie. William 'Billy' Carey: Forget this hide by day, move by night routine. We're going out on the main road, haul flat out. Let's see that cracker try and stop a tank! [starts tank's engine] Gov. Harold R. Sims, Tennessee: In all candor, Mrs. Carey, I would find it very difficult to put the full prestige and honor of the governorship behind a crusade led by two men in a tank with a 20-year-old prostitute. LaDonna Carey: Governor, that's my husband and my son in that tank with that 20-year-old prostitute. If I don't have a problem with that, I fail to see why you should. Gov. Harold R. Sims, Tennessee: Perhaps we look at it from different perspectives. LaDonna Carey: Well, my perspective has about a dozen reporters from every TV and radio station, and newspaper you can think of, waiting for me to come outside and make a statement. Now, I'm either going to tell them that they have a governor that they can be proud of, who's willing to see that justice is done, no more, no less. Or, I'm going to tell them that their governor is an asshole! Gov. Harold R. Sims, Tennessee: Are you threatening the Governor of this State with blackmail Mrs. Carey? LaDonna Carey: Yes sir, I am! Reporter: Why would anyone want to own a Sherman tank? Zack: Because it's very hard to shoot yourself while you're cleaning it. Deputy Euclid Baker: Someone better have a damn good reason for pounding on my door at 7 in the mornin'. Gonna spend some time in my jail. [Exiting the Sheriff's Office] Zack: I do believe I got you covered. [Pointing main cannon at Deputy] Deputy Euclid Baker: Oh, Lord. Sheriff Buelton: Ok Sambo, Ok... You win this one... But there's more than one way to skin a cat. Sfc. Ed Tippet, Provost Marshal's Office: You better believe there is, Jim. Sheriff Buelton: It's going to be my great pleasure to shoot that sergeant in his privates. Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

OK, that settles it. I have got to get that movie on disk.
I have got Support Your Local Sheriff, Support Your Local Gunfighter, Sunset and My Fellow Americans. "Your ex-wife, she couldn't take the stress of living in the White House?" "No, she couldn't take NOT living in the White House." Update: Stopped by the used-disk store and got Tank. I don't remember, is there a part that goes something like: Buelton: "Why you goin' ta so much trouble over a cheap whore?" Carey: "You left out the part about you being her pimp." |

My fave of his movies was The Wheeler Dealers with Ray J., J. Ray and J.R. A description of his character to lee Renick's reminded me so much of The Shrub (GW Bush the younger). Don't let the cowboy boots, Stetson hat and Fake accent fool you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OK, here's the correct quote from My Fellow Americans:
Kramer: "And how is Mrs. Douglas?" Douglas: "We're in the middle of a divorce." Kramer: "Oh, yeah, I knew that didn't I? Yeah, I guess life in the White House put too much of a strain on your marriage." Douglas: "No, it was being out of the White House that Catherine couldn't stand." Kramer: "Well, gee, that's funny, your being out of the White House went over so well with the rest of the country." And another one: (Kramer gives the same speech with minor variations every time he opens his gob. Everybody is sick of it by now) Kramer [on TV]: "I have always believed that dreams are like our children…" Aide [disgusted]: "Buy a new speech, Russell." Haney: "That dead general's the lucky one. He won't ever have to hear it again." |

From Back To School with Rodney Dangerfield:
Thornton: "Awww, lay off of Vanessa. She gives good headache." Thornton: "Bring a pitcher to this table every five minutes until somebody passes out. Then bring one every seven minutes." |

From The Hunt for Red October.
"Central Intelligence Agency. Now, there's a contradiction in terms." "The hardest thing about playing chicken, is knowing when to flinch." Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |
