MARVIN: Hey Duke! People on this messageboard wanna know about symbols in films! So – what’s it mean that you want to hit me?
WAYNE: Means I wanna punch your nose!
MARVIN: But the broken slot-machine...that is a symbol for our being impotent! And then our bar is only frequented by merry sailors in their pretty white uniforms... they even dismiss the girls to come in an roll around with us. The fact that you’re wearing this funny hat which is mostly used by gays cruising the scene don’t help much, y’know.
WAYNE: Gosh! The reason for my shooting you in Liberty Valance is really that I was jealous of the SM-thing you and Jimmy Stewart had going, y’know, the whipping and stuff. And the black mask you wore... whoa! So this sub-plot has been going on for two pictures now?
MARVIN: Oh, Marion, does this mean what I think it do?
