"Shane, come back," must be the most memorable line from the movie, and it's not in the original novel by Jack Schaefer. Shane says his last words to the boy, Bob, and then rides off as Bob watches him go. It is followed by another scene back at the ranch as Marian persuades her husband not to pull up stakes and leave, too.

Last scene of The 25th Hour. In fact the last fifteen minutes. Total chills and I've seen it three times.
Great movie!
That's a good one, no doubt. I love it.
So, do we think Shane slumps and dies in the final shot as he rides into Valhalla? Great movie.
I've always disappointed that Shane didn't say something like, "Your father is something I'll never be - a leader." Why couldn't he say that?!
