City Slickers/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


City Slickers

  • Mitch says this a lot, and it's funny everytime.

Hello...?

    • And let's not forget.

He's behind me, isn't he?

  • Mitch sings, and imitates a horse snorting.

Mitch: Rollin', rollin', rollin', keep them dogies rollin', man my ass is swollen, Rawhide! Get 'em up, move 'em out, wake 'em up, get 'em dressed, get 'em shaved, comb their hair, Rawhide! Tie me down, tell me lies, pull my hair, smack my thighs - with a big wet strap of, Rawhide!

  • While Mitch is delivering the calf Norman he can't help but add...

Mitch: You know, this was not in the brochure...

  • Mitch Robbins has a roping disability.
  • Cookie is asked to say something at Curly's burial

Cookie: Lord, we give you Curly . Try not to piss him off.

  • Phil, shaking hands.

Phil: I'm Phil Berquist. I committed adultery; lost my job and my family, trying to find a reason to live...
Mitch: His jacket's being made.

  • Phil, finally expressing his feelings about his wife.

Phil's Wife: I hate you!
Phil: I hate you more! If hate were people, I'd be CHINA!!

  • The reaction of the men upon seeing Bonnie at the cattle drive.

Phil: You know, when I was alive, I would've found her attractive.

  • The trail hands discuss what to do about Cookie, who has two broken legs.

Mitch: Oh god, they're gonna shoot him, I know it, they're gonna shoot him...

  • Mitch has been explaining to Phil how to record TV on a VCR, which is getting on Ed's nerves.

Ed: He doesn't get it, he's never gonna get it, it's been four hours, the COW can tape something by now, stop it! Just stop it!
Phil: (Beat)...how do you do the clock?

City Slickers II

  • Mr. Stone invokes the Duke's name in a rather, uniqe way.

Clay: What in the name of John Wayne's ass is going on here?

  • This sentence proves that Glen has NO sense of direction. At the very least it proves he's an idiot.

Glen: All right, now the sun sets in the East, right?
Mitch: No! The sun sets in the West.
Glen: That's if your *in* the East, but we are way out West now, so we are past where the sun sets.
Mitch: You can't be *passed* where the sun sets, and if you think you can, then I am standing directly South of an idiot!

  • When Mitch thinks his marrige is doomed.

Mitch: By this time next week I'll be having a romantic candle light dinner with Phil.

  • Glen is a The Godfather aficionado. Phil loves his imitations. Mitch and Barbara? Not so much.

Phil: Hey, Glen, let me ask you something. Who had Frankie Pentangeli killed?
Mitch: Phil! (Barbara groans and leaves the room)
Glen: The Rosato brothers.
Phil: Who gave the order? (Mitch then hits Phil over the head with a pillow)
