River Runs Through It movie
Maclean“In Montana there are three things we are never late for. Church, work, and fishing.” Paul to Neal when he arrives late for their fishing trip.
“Look, I don’t know any card tricks. No, I don’t like your brother. But I like you.” To Jessie after she gives him a ride home.
“How the hell do you help that bastard.” Norman
“By taking him fishing.” Paul
After Norman tells Paul he intends to marry Jessie, Paul takes him to a gambling house with whores. His hostility to “family values” is made more clear and explicit than it is in the book.
“Oh, I’ll never leave Montana, brother.” Paul to Norman, after Norman asks him to come to Chicago with him and Jessie.
Norman says Paul stands above the world, “free from all its laws like a work of art” but he is not so free, and, as Norman says, “life is not a work of art.”
