Defiance Against Authority and Injustice
Ned Kelly
And wasn't this the challenge of your whole life, Superintendent? A feather in your cap? You can't catch me. You don't have a hope of catching me, so you take my friends instead - over a hundred men arrested, stuck in stinking cells without trial while their crops perish in the fields. And guess what? Not one of em caves in and tries to claim the reward. Not one of em. They loved me the just same and hated you all the more, didn't they? Did you really think I was gonna let em all rot?

Unspoken Truths and Deceptions in Relationships
Alma Beers Del Mar
You still go fishing with Jack Twist?
Ennis Del Mar
Not often.
Alma Beers Del Mar
You know, I used to wonder how come you never brought any trouts home. You always said you caught plenty, and you know how me and the girls like fish. So one night I got your creel case(ph) open the night before you went on one of your little trips — price tag's still on it after five years — and I tied a note to the end of the line. It said, Hello, Ennis, bring some fish home. Love. Alma. And then you come back looking all perky and said you caught a bunch of browners and you ate them up. Do you remember? I looked in that case first chance I got, and there was my note still tied there. That rod hadn't touched water in its life.
Ennis Del Mar
Don't mean nothing, Alma.

A Dispute Over a Stolen Watch
Old Man
I say, give me that back. That blackguard just stole my watch.
Steve Hart
They say the Lord helps those who help themselves.
Ned Kelly
Give him back his watch.
Steve Hart
What?
Ned Kelly
You heard what I said. I said give him back his damn watch.
Steve Hart
Have you gone simple all of a sudden. We're robbing a bank.
Ned Kelly
Listen here, kid. This is the last time I tell you. Give him back his damn watch.
Old Man
You're not innocent men. You're a bunch of common criminals.
Ned Kelly
Now did you hear that? If we act like common thieves, that's just what they'll call us. My mother is rotting away in a prison cell. Because of the lies of a policeman named Fitzpatrick. She's an innocent woman, and so are these boys here. My Irish brethren have been imprisoned unlawfully and blacklisted from their selections. How do you expect me to behave other than to stand up against this treatment. Any one of you here can take a shot at me and not be charged for it. There's me gun. Any of you feeling brave enough, go ahead. No? That's what I thought. So if I can beg your patience, this is my statement to the Premier of Victoria, Graham Berry, and you here are my witnesses. Joe, take out a pen and paper. We'll write ourselves a letter.
[jumps the counter and talks to all the captive people.; places his gun on the counter.; looks around.; Superintendent Hare and the three police constables went up the stairs, back to bank when Joe begins writing.]
Ned Kelly
Dear sir. Dear sir.
Graham Berry
Dear sir. I wish to acquaint you with some of the occurrences of the present, past and the future. It will pay government to give those people who are suffering-

Graham Berry

Ned Kelly
I give fair warning to all those who have reason to fear me, not to attempt to reside in Victoria. Neglect this and abide by the consequences which shall be worse than the rust in the wheat. I do not wish to give this order full force without timely warning but I am an widows son outlawed and my orders must be obeyed!

Memories of Brokeback Mountain and Lost Connections

Ned Kelly's Defiance Against Authority
Ned Kelly
So I killed their policemen and I robbed their banks, but burning their mortgages, well, that was destroying crown property. It was like slapping Queen Victoria herself across the face. So they send in Hare, Superintendent Francis Hare, late of Cape Town, South Africa. And wasn't this the challenge of your whole life Superintendent? A feather in your cap. You can't catch me. You don't have a hope of catching me. So you take my friends instead. Over a hundred men arrested. Stuck in stinkin cells without trial while their crops perish in the fields. And guess what? Not one of em caves in and tries to claim the reward. Not one of em. They loved me just the same and hated you all the more, didn't they? Did you really think I was gonna let em all rot?
