Don't talk

This makes me smile. It brings to mind one of my all time favorite movies. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. I know some people may not get how I got from one to the other.
You see, growing up in Cameroon, we did not exactly have cable, and by that I mean we had some sort of satellite set-up which allowed us to watch all of maybe 6 channels max. Now coming from a single national channel which only began its broadcasting at 6PM ( Noon sometimes during summer vacation-the joy), 6 channels was definitely a mega bonus.
However, programming was limited, most of the channels covered news, many of the movies were in French or even worse actually French (French cinema has alot going for it, but please don't ask the average 12year old to enjoy or understand it).
As such, we would wear out our VHS tapes watching them over and over again, for lack of something better to watch. I have probably seen Coming to America and Tootsie more times than anyone should ever have to. And because my mum was a major Clint Eastwood fan, and all the visiting uncles loved Clint, I ended up watching the Good, the Bad and the Ugly probably 90 times (slight exaggeration). I hated it so much at first but around the 28th time, it really grew on me.
There are entire portions of that movie I can recite word for word. I used to be so much better at it, but hey its been a while.
Point I'm trying to make is, no other part of that movie resulted in bigger laughs than when Eli Wallach who plays Tuco (the Ugly) delivers the epic line:
"when you have to shoot, shoot- don't talk"
If you haven't seen movie, please do OR checkout hilarious scene below:
NOTE: I do not support or promote violence in real life, but it works pretty well in Westerns.
oh how I digress...
