Quotes3

  • Spirit of the West: No man can walk out of his own story.
  • Rango: Is this Heaven?
  • Spirit of the West: If it were, we'd be eatin' Pop-Tarts with Kim Novak.
  • Rango: [taken aback] Golden guardians... Alabaster chariot... The Spirit of the West!
  • [to Spirit]
  • Rango: Ahem... excuse me... Mister Spirit... sir?
  • Spirit of the West: [eyeing a fish hook] Now there's a beaut. Sometimes you have to dig deep to find what you're looking for.
  • [to Rango]
  • Spirit of the West: So, you made it.
  • Rango: Is this Heaven?
  • Spirit of the West: If it were, we'd be eating Pop Tarts with Kim Novak.
  • Rango: Yeah, ain't that the truth. What are you doing out here?
  • Spirit of the West: Searching... same as you.
  • Rango: [downhearted] I don't know what I'm looking for. I don't even know who I am.
  • [brighter]
  • Rango: They used to call you 'The Man with No Name'.
  • Spirit of the West: Nowadays, they have a name for just about everything. Doesn't matter what they call you... it's the deeds that make the man.
  • Rango: But my deeds just made everything worse. I'm a fake... a phony. My friends were counting on me. They were looking for some sort of hero.
  • Spirit of the West: [emphatic] Then be a hero!
  • Rango: [disbelief] Oh, no! No, no. I'm not even supposed to be out here.
  • Spirit of the West: That's right. You came out here looking for something that didn't exist. But don't you see?
  • [pause]
  • Spirit of the West: It's not about you... it's about them.
  • Rango: But I can't go back.
  • Spirit of the West: Don't think you have a choice, son.
  • [draws rectangle on windshield]
  • Spirit of the West: No man can walk out of his own story.
