Timothy Olyphant: Spirit of the West

Quotes 

• 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.
