You said you didn't want anyone else to get hurt. You meant it?

I meant it. Can't hurt somebody who's already dead.

Name of Joyce Lakeland. Lives about four or five miles out on Derrick Road past the old Branch place.
Lou Ford:
Oh, I know the old Branch place. She a hustling lady, Bob?

The Killer Inside Me - Confronting Past Choices and Desires
Lou Ford:
Striking at people that way is almost as good as the other, the real way. The way I'd fought to forget—and had almost forgot—until I met her.

The Killer Inside Me - Caught Between Two Worlds
Lou Ford:
I got a foot on both sides of the fence. They were put there early, and they stayed put. I can't move. I can't jump. All I can do is wait until I split, right down the middle.

The Killer Inside Me - Expectations of Masculinity and Respectability
Lou Ford: [voiceover]
Out here you say yes ma'am an no ma'am to anything with a skirt on. Out here if you catch a man with his pants down you apologize, even if you have to arrest him afterwards. Out here you're a man and a gentleman or you aren't anything at all. And god help you if you're not.

To Die For - Casual Conversation About Relationships and Intimacy
Russel Hines: [about Suzanne and her husband Larry]
I bet he jumps her all the time, you know? Like after dinner, just bang, right on the kitchen table. Fucking during even.
Jimmy Emmett:
Yeah. Maybe both.
Russel Hines:
Those skinny bitches, they can't get enough of it. They're always wanting it. That's a medical fact.
Jimmy Emmett:
Yeah.
Russel Hines:
It's because the nerves in their body are all bunched up in their snatch. You know what I mean? They're all right up in there, so they're all whack.

Chasing Amy - Comic Creation Explained
Collector:
So, you draw this comic, or what?
Banky: [sighs]
I ink it. I'm also the colorist. The guy next to me draws it, but we both came up with the characters. Next.
Collector:
What's that mean, you "ink" it?
Banky:
Well, it means that Holden draws the pictures in pencil, and then he gives it to me to go over in ink. Next!
Collector:
So, basically, you just trace.
Banky: [annoyed]
It's not "tracing", alright? I add depth and shading to give the image more definition. Only then does the drawing truly take shape.
Collector:
No, no. You go over what he draws with a pen. That's tracing.
Banky: [getting angry]
Not really. Next!
Collector:
Hey, lemme ask you something. If somebody draws something, and you draw, like, right on top of it without going outside the original designated art, what do you call that?
Little Kid:
I dunno, man...tracing?
Collector: [triumphantly]
See?
Banky:
You want your book signed or what?
Collector:
Hey, hey! Don't get snippy with him just because you've got a problem with your station in life!
Banky:
Oh, I'm secure with what I do.
Collector:
Then just say it — you're a tracer!
Banky: [about to lose it]
Who should I sign it to?
Little Kid: [snatches the comic away]
I don't want you to sign it. I want the guy who draws Bluntman and Chronic to sign it. You're just a tracer.
Collector:
Tell him, little shaver.
Collector:
You're mucking with a "G", you fucking tracer!
Banky:
I'LL TRACE A CHALK OUTLINE AROUND YOUR DEAD BODY, YOU FUCK!
Holden:
Could you get him out of here?
Collector:
Hey! He shoved me! You fucking tracer!
Banky:
YOUR MOTHER'S A TRACER!

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Fear and Motivation Behind a Choice
Dorothy Evans:
Why did you kill him?
Robert Ford:
Well, he was gonna kill me.
Dorothy Evans:
So you were scared and that's the only reason?
Robert Ford:
Yeah. And the reward money.
Dorothy Evans:
Do you want me to change the subject?
Robert Ford: [laughs to himself]
You know what I expected? Applause. I was only 20 years old then. I couldn't see how it would look to people. I was surprised by what happened. They didn't applaud.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Struggles of Identity and Trust
Jesse James: [Jesse has given Bob a gun as a gift]
You know what John Newman Edwards once wrote about me? He said I didn't trust two men in ten thousand and was even cautious around them. The government's sort of run me ragged. I'm going the long way around the barn to say I've been feeling cornered and just plain ornery of late and I'd be pleased if you'd accept the gun as my way of apologizing.
Robert Ford:
Heaven knows I'd be ornerier if I were in your position.
Jesse James:
No. I haven't been acting correctly. I can't hardly recognize myself sometimes when I'm greased. I go on journeys out of my body and look at my red hands and my mean face and I wonder about that man who's gone so wrong. I've been becoming a problem to myself.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Comfort and Discomfort in Relationships
Jesse James:
You know I'm real comfortable with your brother. Hell, he's ugly as sin and he smells like a skunk and he's so ignorant he couldn't drive nails in the snow, but he's sort of easy to be around. I can't say the same for you, Bob.
Robert Ford:
I'm sorry to hear you say that.
Jesse James: [pause]
You know how it is when you're with your girlfriend and the moon is out and you know she wants to be kissed even though she never said so?
Robert Ford:
Yeah.
Jesse James:
You're giving me signs that grieve my soul and make me wonder if maybe your mind's been changed about me.
Robert Ford:
What do you want me to do? Swear my good faith on the Bible?

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - A Conversation About Arresting Jesse James
Robert Ford:
They gave me ten days.
Charley Ford:
For what?
Robert Ford:
Arresting him.
Charley Ford:
You and me, huh?
Robert Ford:
It's going to happen one way or another. It's going to happen, Charley, and it might as well be us who get rich on it.
Charley Ford:
Bob, he's our friend.
Robert Ford:
He murdered Ed Miller. He's going to murder Liddil and Cummins if the chance ever comes. Seems to me Jesse's riding from man to man, saying goodbye to the gang. Your friendship could put you under the pansies.
Charley Ford:
I'll grind it fine in my mind, Bob. I can't go any further than that, right now.
Robert Ford:
You'll come around.
Charley Ford:
You think it's all made up don't ya? You think it's all yarns and newspaper stories.
Robert Ford:
He's just a human being.

Jesse James: [Bob walks in on Jesse in the bath]
Go away.
Robert Ford:
Used to be nobody could sneak up on Jesse James.
Jesse James:
Now you think otherwise?
Robert Ford:
I ain't never seen you without your guns, neither.
Jesse James: [pause]
Can't figure it out: do you want to be like me or do you want to BE me?
Robert Ford: [defeated]
I'm just making fun is all.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Desperate Measures Against a Notorious Outlaw
Governor Crittenden: [pause]
Jesse James sent me a telegram last month, saying he was going to kill me if he had to wreck a train to do it. He said that once I was in his hands he was going to cut my heart out and eat it in strips like it was bacon. I'm going to wreck his train first.
Robert Ford: [scoffs, Crittenden glares at him]
I'm sorry, Your Excellency. I was thinking of something else.
Governor Crittenden:
Jesse James is nothing more than a public outlaw who's made his reputation by stealing whatever he could and by killing whoever got in his way. You'll hear some fools say he's getting back at Republicans and Union men for wrongs his family suffered during the war, but his victims have scarcely ever been selected with reference to their political views. I'm saying his sins will soon find him out. I'm saying his cup of iniquity is full. I'm saying Jesse James is a desperate case and may require a desperate remedy.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Aiming for Significance in a Life of Obscurity
Robert Ford:
I've been a nobody all my life. I was the baby; I was the one they made promises to that they never kept. And ever since I can recall it, Jesse James has been as big as a tree. I'm prepared for this, Jim. And I'm going to accomplish it. I know I won't get but this one opportunity and you can bet your life I'm not going to spoil it.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Aspiring Greatness Beyond First Impressions
Robert Ford: [to Frank James]
Folks sometimes take me for a nincompoop on account of the shabby first impression I make, whereas I've always thought of myself as being just a rung down from the James Brothers. And I was hoping if I ran into you aside from those peckerwoods, I was hoping I could show you how special I am. I honestly believe I'm destined for great things, Mr. James. I've got qualities that don't come shining through right at the outset, but give me a chance and I'll get the job done- I can guarantee you that.

Gone Baby Gone - The Weight of Deception and Trust
Patrick Kenzie: [about Remy]
He lied to me. I can't think of one reason big enough for him to lie that's small enough not to matter.

Gone Baby Gone - Haunting Reflections on a Child's Disappearance
Patrick Kenzie: [voiceover]
I couldn't stop running it over and over and over in my mind. The vague and distant suspicion that we never understood what happened that night; what our role was. Or maybe it was just like the hundreds of other children who disappear each year and never return. Amanda was even more haunting for never being found.

Gone Baby Gone - Accountability in the Wake of Loss
Patrick Kenzie: [voiceover]
And like that, she was gone. We gave our statements. Nick and Remy the same. All of us spared any blame for Amanda's death. Jack Doyle resigned on the condition that he and he alone be held accountable. He was granted the dignity of early retirement, but the humiliation of half a pension. It was an ignominious end to an illustrious career.

Gone Baby Gone - The Influence of Environment on Identity
Patrick Kenzie: [voiceover]
I always believed it was the things you don't choose that makes you who you are. Your city, your neighborhood, your family. People here take pride in these things, like it was something they'd accomplished. The bodies around their souls, the cities wrapped around those. I lived on this block my whole life. Most of these people have. When your job is to find people who were missing, it helps to know where they started. I find the people who started in the cracks and then fell through. This city can be hard. When I was young, I asked my priest how you could get to heaven and still protect yourself from all the evil in the world. He told me what God said to his children. "You were sheep among wolves. Be wise as serpents, yet innocent as doves.
