Lone Star (1996)

Stephen J. Lang: Mikey

Quotes 

• Cliff : I never thought I'd see that a buddy of mine would be dating a woman with three bars on her shoulder.

  Mickey : I think it's beyond what you'd call dating.

  Cliff : You're gonna get married?

  Mickey : Maybe.

  Cliff : You met her family? Think her family's gonna be OK that you're a white guy?

  Mickey : They think any woman over 30 who isn't married is a lesbian. She figures, they'll be so relieved that I'm a man...

  Cliff : Yeah, it's always heartwarming to see a prejudice defeated by a deeper prejudice.

• Mikey : Let's see... I did two tours of duty in southeast Asia and I was married for five years. I couldn't tell you which experience was worse. I knew she was Japanese going in, but she didn't tell me about the Ninja assassin part.

  Cliff : [cataloging the flora]  We got cenizo, that's purple sage, agave, nopal... What's that stuff? Yeah that's it, that's whatchamacallit. That's horse crippler.

  Mikey : This place is a gold mine.

  Cliff : Lead mine.

• Mikey : Hey, Cliff!

  Cliff : What'd you find? Pieces of eight? Relics from the Coronado expedition?

  Mikey : Cliff, come here!

  [Cliff comes over and sees a half-buried skeleton in the ground] 

  Cliff : Jesus...

  [Mikey lifts a ring out of the ground] 

  Mikey : Was Coronado in the Masons?

• [on Col. Payne, their new C.O] 

  Mikey : Man cracks walnuts with his asshole.
