This little girl is so cool like

Mattie Ross.
You must pay for everything in this world, one way and another. There is nothing free except the grace of God.

LaBoeuf: You give out very little sugar with your pronouncements. While I sat there watchin' I gave some thought to stealin' a kiss... though you are very young, and sick... and unattractive to boot. But now I have a mind to give you five or six good licks ( ,打) with my belt.
Mattie Ross: One would be just as unpleasant as the other.

Rooster Cogburn: We'll sleep here and follow in the morning.
Mattie Ross: But we promised to bury the poor soul inside!
Rooster Cogburn: Ground's too hard. Them men wanted a decent burial, they should have got themselves killed in summer.

    The nostalgia of the Coen brothers, the renewed tribute to the passing era, the completion and personalization. Two points, the precise application of the female perspective, and the lack of the reunion of the Cohen brotherhood that finally makes people find back.

True Grit quotes

  • Mattie Ross: [Mattie tries to persuade LaBouef to continue the hunt with her] Have I held you back? I have a Colt's dragoon revolver which I know how to use, and I would be no more of a burden to you than I was to the marshal.

    LaBoeuf: That is not my worry. You have earned your spurs, that is clear enough... . you have been a regular old hand on the trail. But Cogburn is right, even if I would not give him the satisfaction of conceding it. The trail is cold, and I am... considerably diminished.

    Mattie Ross: How can you give up now, after the many months you've dedicated to finding Chaney? You have shown great determination. I misjudged you. I picked the wrong man.

    LaBoeuf: I would go on in your company if there were clear way to go. But we would be striking out blindly. Chelmsford is gone. We have chased him right off the map. There is nothing for it. I am bound for Texas, and it is time for you to go home too... . The marshal, when he sobers, is your way back.

    Mattie Ross: I will not go back! Not without Chaney, dead or alive.

    LaBoeuf: I misjudged you as well. I extend my hand.

    [He does, but Mattie does not take it]

    Mattie Ross: Mr. LaBoeuf! Please!

    LaBoeuf: [LaBoeuf keeps his hand extended; Mattie eventually squeezes it] Adios.

    [LaBoeuf rides away]

  • Mattie Ross: That is my father.

    Undertaker: If you would like to kiss him, it would be all right.

    Yarnell: He's gone to heaven. Praise the Lord.

    Mattie Ross: Why is it so much?

    Undertaker: The quality of the casket. And of the embalming. The lifelike appearance requires time and art. And the chemicals come dear. The particulars are in your bill.

    Undertaker: If you'd like to kiss him, it would be all right.

    Mattie Ross: Thank you, the spirit has flown.
