Mike,
I'd bet that the one eyed fat man said it with passion and conviction.!!! ....see it's the execution that makes it art.

Allan,
You are right, John Wayne, as Rooster Cogburn in "True Grit," said it with so much passion and conviction that it got him an academy award. Robert Duvall as Ned Pepper has also won an academy award for "Tender Mercies." He's also the one that said: "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning" in the movie "Apocolypse Now."
I believe, as Ned Pepper came to realize, that you should never come between a man and his passionately held convictions. Unless of course there's a woman involved then all bets are off.
