The Most Famous Scene In Any Western: (from
Jim Janke's Old West Page)
(The villian Trampas has just casually called the Virginian a
son-of-a-bitch during a poker game.)
The Virginian's pistol came out, and his hand lay on the
table, holding it unaimed. And with a voice as gentle
as ever, the voice that sounded almost like a caress, but
drawling a very little more than usual, so that there was
almost a space between each word, he issued his orders to
the man Trampas:-
"When you call me that, smile!" And he
looked at Trampas across the table.
Yes, the voice was gentle. But in my ears it seemed as if
somewhere the bell of death was ringing.
From Owen Wister's The Virginian, 1902
