Tom:
Did you see that crazy Calvert go by?
Willie Boy:
Ate his dust.
Tom:
When did you get back to Banning, Willie Boy?
Willie Boy:
Five o'clock freight.
Tom:
Goin' to the fiesta?
Willie Boy:
Is that where you're goin', Tom?
Tom:
Trailin' Mr. Calvert with a tow just in case he breaks down - or breaks his neck.
Willie Boy:
Well, I guess that's where I'm goin'.

the first time i saw this movie i was a pre-teen, and it always haunted me. i think it should have gotten a much higher rating also.
yes, it raises all the cross-culture misunderstandings, thats what makes it so tragic and so good. it makes you stop and think before you make that next assumption about someone you don't know....whose culture your only vaguely familiar with..not a bad thing to do today, then or anytime.
