Another gem of movie script writing.

From the movie "3:10 to Yuma". The outlaw Ben Wade (Russel Crowe) tells this story to Dan, his captor. "Did you ever read the Bible Dan? I have. When I was 8 years old my Dad got killed over a drink of whiskey. My Mom said we were going to move back East. She took me to the train station, sat me down and handed me a Bible. She said read this until I get back. It took me 3 days to read it. She never came back."
