• Homer Stokes : Those boys desecrated a burning cross!

• Homer Stokes : [as Grand Kleagle at a KKK rally]  Brothers! Oh, brothers! We have all gathered here, to preserve our hallowed culture and heritage! We aim to pull evil up by the root, before it chokes out the flower of our culture and heritage! And our women, let's not forget those ladies, y'all. Looking to us for protection! From darkies, from Jews, from papists, and from all those smart-ass folks say we come descended from monkeys! That's not my culture and heritage! Is that your culture and heritage?

  The Little Man : He ain't lyin'!

• Homer Stokes : This band of miscreants, this very evening, interfered with a lynch mob in the performance of its duty.

• Homer Stokes : Damn disgrace! Made a travesty of the entire evenin'. Oh, what I wouldn't give to get ahold of those agitators. I mean, whoever heard a such behavior? Even amongst the colored? Or, mulattos, maybe - I suspect some miscegenation in their heritage. How else you goin' explain it?
