The Burden of Hatred and Rights
Sammy Aimes That's crap. I got a right.
Kyle Yeah, you got a lot of rights, starting with the right to be pissed off. If fact, you got a right to hate the whole world right now.

Kyle It takes a lot of work to hate someone. You ready to put in that kind of time?
Sammy Aimes She's a whore, just like everybody says.
Kyle I wonder if it's illegal to call your own mother a whore.
Defiance Against Workplace Harassment
Josey Aimes You want a show?! Huh?! Is that what you want?! You can all go to Hell!
A Father's Disappointment in His Friends
Hank Aimes My name is Hank Aimes and I've been a miner all my life. And I've never been ashamed of it until now. You know when we take our wives and daughters to the company barbecue, I don't hear any of them calling them those names like bitches and whores and worse. I don't see anyone grab them by their privates or drawing pictures of them on the bathroom walls, it's unspeakable. Unspeakable! So what's changed? She's still my daughter! It's a heck of a thing, to watch one of your own get treated that way. You're all supposed to be my friends, my brothers. Well, right now I don't have a friend in this room. In fact the only one I'm not ashamed of is my daughter.
The True Meaning of Toughness
Josey Aimes Lady, you sit in your nice house, clean floors, your bottled water, your flowers on Valentine's Day, and you think you're tough? Wear my shoes. Tell me tough. Work a day in the pit, tell me tough.
