Quote of the Day (“Blazing Saddles,” Paying Wacky Tribute to a Past Hero of Westerns)

Sheriff Bart (played by Cleavon Little): “Just give me 24 hours to come up with a brilliant idea to save our town. Just 24 hours, that's all I ask.”

Townspeople: “NO!”

Bart: “You'd do it for Randolph Scott.”

Townspeople: [Reverently:] “Randolph Scott...”

Townspeople: [singing in the fashion of a church choir:] “RANDOLPH SCOTT!”—Blazing Saddles (1974), written by Mel Brooks, Norman Steinberg, Andrew Bergman, Richard Pryor, and Alan Uger, directed by Mel Brooks
