The Consequences of Suicide According to the Bible

Frank Wheatley Ever think of killing yourself on purpose like my daddy done?

Karl Childers I studied about it. The Bible says you ought not to. It says if you do that, you go off to Hades. Some folks call it Hell, I call it Hades.

Sling Blade

A Conversation About Siblings and Loss

Frank Wheatley You ever have any brothers or sisters growing up?

Karl Childers I had one there for a little while. But, uh, it didn't get old enough for me to play with it.

Frank Why not? It die?

Karl Yes, Sir.

Frank Why?

Karl It got born too early. My mother and father made it come out too early some how or other.

Frank So it died when it came out?

Karl My daddy came out to the shed and got me. He said, "Here, take this and throw it away", and he handed me a towel with something or another in it. Well I started for that barrel and I opened up the towel cause there was a noise. Something a-moving around in there. The towel was all bloody-like all around it there. It was a lil ol baby not no bigger than a squirrel.

Frank A girl or a boy?

Karl It was a little ol boy.

Frank You threw it in the trash barrel?

Karl Well that didn't seem right to me, so I went in the shed and got me a shoe box and emptied out all the washers and nuts and screws and whatnot that were in it and I takened the little fellar and put him inside the box and buried him right there in a corner of the yard. That seemed more proper to me, I reckon.

Frank Was it still alive when you buried it?

Karl I heared it a-cryin through that box.

Frank That don't seem right. Seems like you would have kept him and taken care of him if he was your brother.

Karl I wasn't but 6 or 8. I don't reckon I knew what to do. I didn't know how to care for no baby. My mother and father didn't want him and they learned me to do what they told me. These days I reckon it's better to give him back to the Good Lord anyhow.

Friday Night Lights

The Burden of Self-Imposed Curses

Mike Winchell You ever feel cursed, Coach? Like, no matter what, inside your heart you feel that you're gonna lose. Like something's hanging over you, following you like a witch or a demon that just... I feel like that all the time. Even when things are going good. When we're winnin', it's there. And when we're losin', it's there.

Coach Gary Gaines It took me a long time to realize that, uh, there ain't much difference between winnin and losin', except for how the outside world treats you. But inside you, it's about all the same. It really is. Fact of the matter is, I believe that, uh, our only curses are the ones that are self-imposed. You know what I'm sayin'? We, all of us, dig our own holes.

Modifying Equipment Risks Consequences

Sean Boswell She's ready to roll.

Earl Hu No! No, Sean! Tell me you are not modding the quick-disconnect valve on the LOX line!

Sean Hey, chill out, man, it's all good. This little tweak just saved us 0.4 seconds.

Earl All good"?! This isn't ] You don't follow the rules here, you die!

[[Top Gun|''Top Gun'', Maverick!]

Twinkie Hey, come on, that's a bit much.

Earl When you know what too much pressure in the LOX line can do, come talk to me. Until then, stay in your lane.

Twinkie Yo, you’re lucky to even be in my lane. In case you forgot, I’m the one that figured out how to let us build rocket engines and get paid. This whole thing was my idea.

Earl So who are you gonna trust with your brilliant idea? This glorified mechanic, or a rocket scientist? Without me, you’d be working at Jiffy Lube.

Twinkie Guys, guys. Look, it’s all good. Who cares about who did what?

Earl Kind of hard for you to do anything when you pee your pants every time you fly, Twinkie.

Tej Did I hear that right? You're a runner and you're afraid of flying?

Planning for the Upcoming Cincinnati Series

Branch Rickey What can I do for you, Pee Wee?

Pee Wee Reese Well, Mr. Rickey, it's like this. The series in Cincinnati next week?

Branch Rickey Yes. Important road trip. We're only three games out of first.

Pee Wee Reese Yes, sir. Now, you know I'm from Kentucky.

Branch Rickey Then Cincinnati will nearly be a home game for you.

Pee Wee Reese Well... ..I got this letter. Apparently, some people aren't too happy about me playing with Robinson.

[Dump a piece of paper on Rickey's desk]

Branch Rickey Huh? "Nigger lover. Watch yourself. We'll get you, carpetbagger." Pretty typical stuff.

[Unfolds the letter; Chuckles]

Pee Wee Reese Well, it's not typical to me, sir.

Branch Rickey How many of those letters have you gotten, Pee Wee?

[Browses through a filing cabinet]

Pee Wee Reese Just the one. Ain't that enough? What are those?

[Watches Rickey pull out stacks of folders with papers]

Branch Rickey Well, I'll tell you what they aren't. They aren't letters from the Jackie Robinson fan club.

Pee Wee Reese Get out of baseball or your baby boy will die." "Quit baseball or your nigger wife..." "Get out of the game or be killed." Does Jackie know?

[Reading them]

Branch Rickey Well, of course he does. And the FBI. They're taking a threat in Cincinnati pretty seriously. So excuse me if I don't get too upset about you getting called a carpetbagger. You should be proud.

Pee Wee Reese Well, I'd just like to play ball, sir. That's all.

Branch Rickey Oh, I understand. I bet Jackie just wants to play ball. I bet he wishes he wasn't leading the League in hit by pitch. I bet he wishes people didn't want to kill him. The world's not so simple anymore. Guess it never was. We just, uh... Baseball ignored it, now we can't.

Brian Chavez What's that?

Brian Chavez It's just a game.

Don Billingsley It doesn't feel like just a game to me.
