Milius also wrote Robert Duvall’s iconic line in Apocalypse Now, “I love the smell of napalm in the morning . . . It smells like . . . victory.” And of course the line that was already my favorite in Conan, when the barbarian is asked, “What is best in life?” and he says, “Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.”
