Thanks for "bigger than Dallas." Was this line in the movie (or book)  GIANT? 
I seem to remember it somewhere on the screen.

“Bigger than Dallas” ("Bigger’n Dallas")
 
Dallas is big. Houston, however, is the most populous city in Texas.  
Nevertheless, Dallas has long been called _“Big D.”_

The phrase “bigger than Dallas” ("bigger’n Dallas") has been popular  since 
at least the 1960s.

Bigger Than Dallas is an alternative country band, founded in 2002 by  
singer/songwriter Rob Alderman. The band hails from Chattanooga, Tennessee.  
After several lineup changes, the band included Davis Cutshaw on bass and  
multi-instrumentalist Callie Harmon on guitar and mandolin. 

9 August  1903, Boston Daily Globe, pg. 34: 
“I’ve never been to any place  bigger than Dallas,” said Chief Hefley. “You 
all ought to see Dallas at the time  of the state fair. It’s a mighty lively 
town. The most beneficent work of  providence, I think, was putting the Indian 
territory between Texas and Kansas.  It was necessary to have something there 
to prevent things. The settlement of  the territory may be the cause of 
making a sort of tapering off place from each  state, so that the people will be 
able to become used to each other by degrees.”

When a  rider let his free arm drop to his waist, he complained, “If you’d
