Tough talk from John Wayne... in Persian

I remember watching a Western film on Iranian TV before the
revolution, which was dubbed into Persian . John Wayne was
smoking a cigar (seegaar-e barg). One of the bad guys fired
a bullet and hit John Wayne's cigar out of his mouth.
John Wayne's reaction, according to the translators, was:

"Cheezeemoon nashod, faqat bargemoon koobeedeh shod!"
