David Carradine: Shane

Quotes 

• R.G. Posey : You can't stand it, can ya? You just can't live with the fact that I'm still riding on a horse while you're workin' like one on the ground.

  Shane : Not only can I live with it, I prefer it.

  R.G. Posey : Not if you ever really was a drover, you don't prefer it. You couldn't.

  Shane : I could. I'm here.

  R.G. Posey : Yeah. How come?

  Shane : [Thoughtfully]  Posey, do you know what a dinosaur is?

  R.G. Posey : Nope.

  Shane : Well, it's a prehistoric monster who died out because it couldn't learn to change with the times. Just like you. Just like Ryker.

  R.G. Posey : Ryker ain't gonna die out.

  Shane : Well, maybe not. But you will.

• Shane : You're a loser, Posey. Born and bred. You just go on fighting and hating and beating that thick head of yours against each new day until you die out just like that dinosaur.

• Joey Starett : Mom says that Mr. Ryker and the cowboys hate us just because we're different. She says hating for that kind of reason is the worst thing a man can do.

  Shane : Well, it's bad, Joey. But there's worse things. Like when a man hates for money. When he gets paid to hate. When he puts money in his pocket with one hand and shells in his gun with the other.
