Luke's got more guts than brains.

Friday saw the passing of Paul Newman, dead at age 83.

My favorite Paul Newman movies:
3. The Hustler
2. Slap Shot
1. Cool Hand Luke

In his honor I plan to watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, for the first time.

For your amusement/edification, I share some great Cool Hand Luke quotes ...

• Takin' it off here, boss.
• Babalugats, we got a bet here.
• He's called, "Captain." You call the rest of us, "Boss," you hear?
• Cuttin' the heads off of parkin' meters, Captain. We never had one of them.
• In case you get rabbit in your blood and you decide to take off for home, you get some bonus time and leg chains to slow you down.
• Any man forgets his number spends a night in the box.
• Any man loud talkin' spends a night in the box. (etc.)
• You don't have a name until Dragline gives you one.
• He back-sassed a free man. They got their rules.
• Anything so innocent ... and built like that just got to be named, "Lucille."
• Oh, boy, she knows EXACTLY what she's doin'.
• Yeah, well ... sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
• I can eat 50 eggs.
• Luke, what did you say 50 for? Why couldn't you say 35 or 39? It seemed a nice round number.
• What we've got here is failure to communicate.
• Some men you just can't reach.
• I'm shakin' it, boss.
• A quick look, but no memorizin' job.
• You run one time, you got yourself a set of chains. You run twice, you got yourself two sets. You ain't goin' to need no third set, 'cause you're goin' to get your mind right.
• Wish you'd stop bein' so good to me, Captain.
• Callin' it your job, don't make it right.
• Stop feedin' off me!
• Luke's got more guts than brains.
• What's your dirt doin' in his ditch?
• I never planned anything in my life.
• He's a natural born world-shaker.
