The new one is better if you played them back to back and had never seen either before. The original was excellent mind.Great film.
But I still can't decide if I like the original better. :)
Attorney:
How many men have you shot since you became a marshal, Mr. Cogburn?
Rooster:
I never shot nobody I didn't have to.
Attorney:
That was not the question. How many?
Rooster:
Uh, shot, or killed?
Attorney:
Oh, let us restrict it to killed, so that we may have a manageable figure!
Rooster:
Well, twelve to fifteen, stopping men in flight and defending myself.
Attorney:
Twelve to fifteen? So many that you cannot keep an accurate count! I have examined the record, Mr. Cogburn. A much more accurate figure is available. Come now — how many?
Rooster:
Counting them two Whartons… twenty-three.
Attorney:
Twenty-three men in four years. That makes about six men a year!
Rooster:
It's a dangerous business.
