Lonesome Dove 5 Classic Scenes

There are so many great scenes in Lonesome Dove that it is difficult to pick out just five to feature in this video, but I'm going with some of my favorites. I'll do the countdown and finish with my very favorite one. If you like Lonesome Dove as much as I do, they will all be enjoyable, but the last two are each spectacular and noteworthy. In this first scene, Gus and P.I. are riding on the prairie and encounter a herd of buffalo. Gus is a thinking man and philosopher. P.I. is just the opposite, kind of slow and not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Watch as Gus tries to explain to P.I. why it would make sense to chase the buffalo. Let's chase them, you want to? Shoot us one for our supper? No, I mean chase them just for the What, to run them off? No, you don't get the point, do you P.I.? I mean chase them because before long there won't be any buffalo left to chase. Well, them bulls will hook you. Yeah. Do you remember old man Barlow? That buffalo hooked him bad. Old man Barlow was a slow thinker, kind of like somebody else I could name. Well, he was a slow walker too when that buffalo got through with him. I wonder what ever happened to him. He married a fat widower over on the Blanco River and had a pass of a kid. Now, you might as well have done the same thing yourself since you don't want to chase buffalo. Well, I don't believe I'd want to chase buffalo even if I was married. Forget I even mentioned it to you. Well, I like being a bachelor, Gus. Well, that's good P.I. I'm sure it's all part of God's plan that you are one. Because of Gus's wit and wisdom, there are many light-hearted and just plain funny scenes in Lonesome Dove. The following scene is not one of them. Jake Spoon joined up with three brothers who were bad outlaws. They committed some very bad crimes and it ultimately cost Jake his life. You're all yellow. All of you. I wish you would have fought me fair. Think about it, you brothers. I expect you got me into this. I ain't worth a red kiss. And neither are you. I'll say this for you, subs. You're the kind of man it's a pleasure to have. If all you can talk is guff, go talk it to the devil. I should have been second. The lady was the youngest. You're right. I'm sorry. Never meant to scare the boy's heart yesterday. You met him? Yes. So? Jake, I'd like to know that I got Lori back. Who? I'm sorry, subs. I gotta do this, Jake. I wish it had fallen to somebody else. What hell, boys? I'd rather be hung by my friends than by a bunch of damn strangers. Dude? What else, boys? Hope you won't hold it against me. Never meant no harm. In this scene, Gus is in a real mess. He is pinned down in the open prairie by members of Blueduck's gang that have been sent to kill him. Watch as a not-too-smart desperado underestimates Gus. You ain't get him yet. I'll get him. He ain't got anywhere else to go. Has he? That's enough. That is enough. Look at that. Is he shooting at us? He can't hit nobody from there. He's just wasting his bullets. It was hard to pick one of the next two scenes as the best, so I'll just call them 1A and 1B. In this scene, the boys are in Ogallala getting supplies when a group of army men and their scout try to take Dish's horse. Watch as Woodrow takes care of the situation as only Woodrow can. Go on, get his horse. No, sir. This horse ain't for sale. Dish just told you that. You cowboys are pests. Even your pups. Now, give me that horse. No, sir. I said give me that horse. No, sir. Damn you. No, sir. Give me that horse. No, sir. Give him to me. This horse ain't for sale. Give me that horse. Let him go. Give me that horse. I said give him to me. Give me that horse. Damn you. Give me that horse. Leave him alone. Get him. He's killing him, Gus. Stay back here. Woodrow, Woodrow, it's me. Me, Augustus. Damn it, Woodrow. Look at me, now. Woodrow. All right, now. You hurt? No, sir. He just quirted me a little bit. And you wouldn't let him take Dish's horse? Much obliged to you for that, dude. Sorry, Dish. Come in and go right now. There ain't much left to go with. Just get what there is, Sergeant. You bring the wagon? I'll bring it. I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it. In this final scene, Gus and Woodrow are in San Antonio looking for a replacement cook as Boal has quit. They go into a bar for a drink and the ensuing encounter is classic Gus. I like a shot of whiskey and so does my companion. It ain't too much trouble. Howdy, boy, you got a good game going there? Who the hell's that? You got mud in your ears or what? Rye or what'll it be, old timer? Rye will do, provided it gets here quick. Darn cowboys ought to broom yourselves off before you walk in here. You know what I'm saying? We need it without the customers bringing it in. That'll be a dollar. Besides the whiskey, I think we'll require a little respect. I'm Captain Augustus McCray. This is Captain Woodrow F. Cobb. Now, if you care to turn around, you can see how we looked when we was younger and the people around here wanted to make us senators. Now, the thing we didn't put up with then was doggling service. And as you can see, we still don't put up with it. Now then, if I could have a fresh glass, please. You just broke my nose, you old son of a... Well, here's to the sunny slopes. The lawn to go.
