Maria Elena Quotes in The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972)

Judge Roy Bean: It's all changing. The country's changing. The railroad's coming. People will pass by... and look out the window and never know what it took to make all this. They won't know about the bear. They won't know about me... I guess it doesn't matter.

Maria Elena: I'm going to have your baby in the spring.

Judge Roy Bean: A son... Make it a son. I need a son. King Louis XIV, King of France, had 103 of them. A man can't live forever. A man is mortal.
