El Dorado

John Wayne's Cole Thornton and James Caan's Mississippi have been in town for a day or so and tried to sober up Thornton's old friend and the sheriff of the town JP played by Robert Mitchum. They've had a few comedic moments as they've sobered him up until they are forced into action and JP just about gets through it. Back at the jail, JP needs to cut his trouser leg as he's been shot...

JP: Has anyone got a knife?"

Mississippi pulls out a big knife.

JP: Just who are you anyway?

Miss: We met last night and again this morning.

JP to Thornton: Who is he?

Thornton: Tell him your name Mississippi.

Miss: Alan Badillian Trahern.

JP: Alan Badillian Tra-who?

Thornton: Tra-hey

Miss: Trahern.

JP to Thornton: Well, no wonder he carries a knife.
