TRUE GRIT - shootout
https://youtu.be/J8EbkzlOa5A?t=17

[Rooster confronts the four outlaws across the field]
Ned Pepper : What’s your intention? Do you think one on four is a dogfall?
Rooster Cogburn : I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned. Or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker’s convenience. Which’ll it be?
Ned Pepper : I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man.
Rooster Cogburn : Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!

I have a writ here says you’re to stop eatin’ Chin Lee’s cornmeal forthwith! It’s a rat writ, writ’ for a rat, and this is lawful service of same!

[Mattie comes to get Rooster and finds him talking with LaBoeuf]
Mattie Ross : This man wants to take Chaney back to Texas. That’s not what I want.
Rooster Cogburn : He wants him caught and punished - so do you.
Mattie Ross : I want Tom Chaney to hang for killing my father. It’s little to me how many dogs and senators he killed in Texas.
,-——————

Rooster Cogburn : Well, now, what do you drink?
Mattie Ross : I’m partial to cold buttermilk.
Rooster Cogburn : Well, we ain’t got none of that. We ain’t got no lemonade neither!
,-——————

Mattie Ross : Trust you to buy another tall horse.
Rooster Cogburn : Yeah. He’s not as game as Beau, but Stonehill says he can jump a four rail fence.
Mattie Ross : You are too old and fat to be jumping horses.
Rooster Cogburn : Well, come see a fat old man some time!
[jumps the fence and rides away]

We always get a kick out of Rooster Cogburn saying “boogerman”

Mattie Ross:
I’ll walk over there by myself.

Rooster Cogburn:
You scared of the dark?

Mattie Ross:
I’ve never been scared of the dark.

Rooster Cogburn:
Well if I had a big horse pistol like that I wouldn’t be scared of no “boogerman”.

Mattie Ross:
I’m not scared of no “boogerman”.
