Movie Quote Quiz

Purdy Mantle: It ain't never too late, unless you're dead.

Con Vallian: You're going to have a choice. Them or me.

Con Vallian: Shoot to kill. Wounds don't impress them. They've all been shot before.

Con Vallian: I work hard, every day of my life, just stayin' alive.

Doc Shabitt: Go on in there, Red... we hear a shot, we'll know you bought the farm.

Factual error: When Red prepares to sneak into the camp, Doc Shabbit says if they hear a shot it will mean that he "bought the farm". However, this phrase didn't come into use until well into the 20th Century, when the US Military began paying death benefits. That insurance was enough to pay the mortgage or "buy the farm".

Question: As Duncan prepares to kill Doc Shabbit, it sounds like Doc says it's hard to kill a man looking him in the eye, isn't it Bill? His name is Duncan not Bill, or am I mis-hearing it?

Answer: He says "ain't it, pilgrim?"
