Gus and the somewhat half-witted Pea-Eye, spying a small herd of buffalo:
Gus: Let's chase 'em!
Pea-Eye: Shoot us one for our supper?
G: No, just chase 'em.
PE: To run 'em off?
G: You don't get it, do ya Pea? I mean, chase 'em just for the fun of it. 'Cause soon there won't be any buffalo left to chase!
PE: Them bulls will hook ya. You remember old man Barlow? That bull hooked him bad.
G: Well, old man Barlow was a slow thinker, kinda like somebody else I could mention...
PE: Well, he was a slow walker, too, when that buffalo was done with him. Whatever happened to him?
G: He married a fat widder down on the planco river and had a passle of kids. Now you otto do the same, since ya don't wanna chase buffalo!
PE: I don't think I'd wanna to chase buffalo even if I was married, Gus...
G: Forget I even mentioned it, Pea.
PE: Well, I like bein' a bachelor, Gus.
G: That's good, Pea. I'm sure it's all part of God's plan that you ARE one!
At that, Gus whistles and slaps his horse into a gallop, shooting his pistol into the air and laughing as only an old man reclaiming his youth for a moment can. He chases the herd over a hill, then abruptly returns, persued by a band of Native American warriors.
Lonesome Dove.
That's since the "Raiders" scene has been brought up already!

. Sigh.
