    Actually, it was Robert Duvall, as Lucky Ned Pepper, who said that immediately before John Wayne, as Rooster Cogburn, shot him to pieces. I am glad to see you are referring to the original True Grit. That is one movie they never should have remade.

    As for your second comment, I'm hurt that you didn't try harder when insulting me. I feel insulted now.

    First thing you've gotten right in this whole exchange. I stand corrected.

The FID mindset is when one humbly goes to some foreign land and seeks first to understand, and then to help in some small way for those who live there to be the best version of their own self."

    He (Duvall)does say that but it is Glenn Campbell who delivers the killing shot and saves John Wayne's (excuse me one eyed fat man's) life.
