Wandering Star
You moving out, Ben?
No.
Me neither, I guess there’s two kinds in the world, people who move, people who stay. Ain’ that true.
No, that ain’t true.
What’s true?
Well, there’s two kinds of people, them going somewhere and them going nowhere, and that’s what’s true.
I don’t agree, Ben.
That’s because you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about. On an exodus to nowhere, sometimes I get mighty homesick.

I love this scene in Paint Your Wagon when Ben Rumsom is talking to the town judge about leaving town for winter. It's just before he sing I Was Born Under A Wandering Star (about 2hours in).
