McLintock!/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Love Wayne's very first lines in the movie.

Don't say it's a fine morning or I'll shoot ya!

  • Ol' Running Buffalos' often repeated line.

Running Buffalo: Swell party, where's the whisky?

    • Also,

Running Buffalo: Great party, but no whisky. We go home.

  • Tiny Mouse!
  • When McLintock and Drago are standing on the porch trying to explain the situation to Ching the cook. Instead of being reasonable, Ching stands there with a rather large meat cleaver! Ready to defend his position.

G.W. McLintock: Well you old Cantonese reprobate, how 'bout it?
Ching: Ya fire me? I kill myself!
G.W. McLintock: I'm not talkin' about firing you I'm RETIRING you! You've been rustlin' food for us for forty years! We're gonna put you out to pasture. All you'll have to do is give advice, be one of the family!
Ching: I kill myself!
G.W. McLintock: I may save you the trouble.
Drago: Hey Ching, you kill yourself, I'll cut of your pigtail and y'ain't never gonna get to Heaven! (swishes his pocketknife ready and able)
Ching: (Ching pauses) I'll be one of the family?
G.W. McLintock: I give you my solemn word.
Ching: Pretty crummy family! Drinkee too muchee! Get in fight! Yell alla time!
G.W. McLintock: (Gestures at Drago) Cut off his pigtail! (Drago starts to walk up the stairs, pocketknife in hand)
Ching: ALRIGHT, I BE ONE OF THE FAMILY!

  • The whole fiasco at the mud hole, not to mention the lines that started it all.

I know, I know. I'm gonna use good judgement. I haven't lost my temper in forty years, but pilgrim you caused a lot of trouble this morning, might have got somebody killed... and somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won't, I won't. The hell I won't! (belts Jones in the mouth)

  • The finale after falling down the stairs fiasco that got G.W. hit on the head for his troubles and unjustly yelled at by his wife (again).

McLintock: Drago, I am sleeping in the den!

  • The spanking scene!
    • Both of them!
