24. Hedley Lamarr recruiting the bandits to level Rock Ridge
Fri Feb 7, 2025, 05:05 PM
Feb 2025

The huge list of who he wanted to do the job… “ass kickers, shit kickers and Methodists!” “Could you repeat that?”

“Criminal Record Required” on the recruiting posters.

“Crime?” “Rape, murder, arson and rape.” “You said rape twice.” “I like rape.”

The “motorcycle gang” with handlebars coming out of their pistol belts because motorcycles hadn’t been invented yet.

“Chewing gum on line, eh? I hope you brought enough for everybody!” “I didn’t know there was going to be so many!” (Hedley shoots dead the gum chewer.) “Boy, is he strict!”

“Hey boys! Look what I have here!” “Hey! Where all the white women at?”

“Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!”

“Crime?” “Stampeding cattle.” “That’s not much of a crime.” “Through the Vatican?” “Kinky! Sign here!”

“How many times have I told you to wash up after a weekly cross burning?” (Turns over Bart’s hand.) “See? It’s comin’ off!”

“For my next impression, Jesse Owens!”

“We’ll head ‘em off at the pass!” “I hate that cliche!”
