Wagons East (1994)

David Dunard: Harry Bob Ferguson

Quotes 

• Julian Rogers : I'd like to recommend one of my favorite authors to you: a woman named Jane Austen. This is a writer of just wonderfully exquisite prose. And, of course, as you can see, it's a big damn book. Oh, "Pride and Prejudice". Harry Bob, I think you're going to get more than a run for your money out of this one.

  Harry Bob : How much?

  Julian Rogers : Well, I think two dollars is a fair price.

  Harry Bob : Really.

  Julian Rogers : Uh-huh.

  Harry Bob : How much for just "Pride"?

  Julian Rogers : Well, actually, one does hate to break up the set.

  Harry Bob : All right, but I got to test it first.

  [He tears out some pages from the book] 

  Harry Bob : Where's the outhouse?

• Harry Bob : When I was 10 years old, I killed my best friend, Tommy Hanley. All the folks in town thought he died of falling out a tree. But the fact of the matter is, I beat him with a club and drug him in the woods so's it'd look that way. Ha ha ha!

  [thinks about it] 

  Harry Bob : I had no idea why I'd done it.

  [beat] 

  Harry Bob : Ha ha ha, thank you, Doctor, I feel better already!
