Uncle Dustin's eyes, so sad, almost as sad as Uncle Dylan's song

Blowing In The Wind

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
Yes 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
Yes 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they 're forever banned
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea
Yes 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
Yes 'n' how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin'in the wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
Yes 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
Yes 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died

Midnight Cowboy quotes

  • Joe Buck: I like the way I look. Makes me feel good, it does. And women like me, goddammit. Hell, the only one thing I ever been good for is lovin'. Women go crazy for me, that's a really true fact! Ratso, hell! Crazy Annie they had to send her away!

    Ratso Rizzo: Then, how come you ain't scored once the whole time you been in New York?

  • [At the gravesite of his father]

    Ratso Rizzo: He was even dumber than you. He couldn't even write his own name. "X," that's what it ought to say on that goddamn headstone, one big lousy "X". Just like our dump. Condemned by order of City Hall.
