The Duke's Code From 'The Shootist'

In John Wayne's last film, The Shootist, a young man portrayed by Ron Howard asked the old, dying gunfighter why he had been in so many gunfights in his life.

The Duke replied that he lived by a code (see above).

Great film, great performance by John Wayne, and not a bad code to live by.
