One the death of Pedro Flores:

“It was an odd thing, but true, that the death of an enemy could affect you as much almost as much as the death of a friend.”

Great series for sure. I recall "Pea" was in the movie Vanishing Point as the long hair on the chopper who gave Barry Newman bennies at his shack in the desert. Read he died of cancer.

Lonesome Dove is far and away my all time favorite movie. Open Range is pretty close though.

It really is a great movie (ok...mini-series).
In fact, I think it's actually better than the book, and that is a rare thing.

It's perfectly cast and I never get tired of it.

Look for Pea Eye in Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid where he appears as "News" Carver who gets shot by the posse because he won't leave the money.

He was also really good as a two gun trick shooter travelling around the west going to shooting matches with Sam Elliott in the obscure “Wild Times”. this was a very realistic western also with Ben Johnson, Harry Carey Jr., and tons of others.

Anyone wearing a chamber pot on their head might as well come along.

Gus talking to Lippy.

but may not be the exact quote.

I’ve had the VHS set since before DVDs came out. I used to drag it out and watch it once a year; I haven’t had anything to play them tapes in a few years now though

Recall Gus mentioning getting the "poke" a couple times. LOL

Not a Gus quote, but a story about Lonesome Dove author Larry McMurtry. He came to our local community college for a writing seminar and gave a presentation open to the public.

During the questions portion, someone asked him about winning the Pulitzer Prize. He replied: "I was in a town in East Texas, doing this same kind of seminar at the junior college. When I arrived at the Holiday Inn, the sign in front said 'Welcome Larry McMurtry - Author Terms of Endearment.' I was resting in my room and received a phone call telling me Lonesome Dove had won. Shortly thereafter, I got a call from a local reporter asking if she could come and interview me. I agreed, and noticed as I walked out to meet her that the sign had been changed. It now read "Meatloaf Special $4.99." So that's what it was like to win the Pulitzer."
