Best Bad*** Last Words Uttered

Feuer Frei! · 02-27-11, 09:15 AM

I'll start with some:

"Hurry up, you Hoosier bastard, I could kill ten men while you're fooling around!" - serial killer Carl Panzram, before his execution.

"I am not going. Do with me what you like. I am not going. Come on! Come on! Take action! Let's go!" - Chief Sitting Bull

"Hurrah for anarchy! This is the happiest moment of my life." - union activist George Engel, before his hanging.

"More weight." - Giles Corey, while being crushed to death for witchcraft.

"Hey, fellas! How about this for a headline for tomorrow's paper: 'French Fries'?" - murderer James French, while in the electric chair.

"I know you've come to kill me. Shoot, you are only going to kill a man."
- communist revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara.

"Take a step forward, lads. It'll be easier that way." - Irish nationalist Robert Erskine Childers, while before his firing squad.

"I'll be in Hell before you start breakfast! Let her rip!" - murderer Tom Ketchum.

"Now, now, my good man, this is no time for making enemies." - Voltaire, when asked to renounce Satan on his deathbed.

"Codeine...bourbon." - actress Tallulah Bankhead.

"I just wish I had time for one more bowl of chili." - pioneer Kit Carson

Any great famous last words from someone that you remember?

Rodgers, James W. ( -1960) [American criminal] "Why yes, a bulletproof vest!" (On his final request before the firing squad.)

Sedgwick, John (1813-1864) "Nonsense, they couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." (In response to a suggestion that he should not show himself over the parapet during the Battle of the Wilderness.)

Now why did I do that?
General William Erskine, after he jumped from a window in Lisbon, Portugal in 1813.

I always liked, "Are you guys ready? Let's roll."

"Ain't losing your nerve, are you Joe?"
