- Ray Pierce: Everything here is so clean. Pure. This is how it should be.
- Joe: This ain't never gonna change. We'll see to it.
- Ray Pierce: Oh, it's gonna change, all right. And not just with them coloreds, neither. We're gonna have spics, Jews, slanty-eyes from Vietnam...
- Joe: Viet-who? Yer talkin' mush!

- Johnny Ventura: Hey, Jack, why don't you get it over with and just rip my head off?
- Jack Marshak: If I thought it would solve anything, I would.
- Micki Foster: Jack!
- Johnny Ventura: I'm sorry. How many times do I have to say it?
- Jack Marshak: When it comes to people's lives, "sorry" isn't good enough.
- Ray Pierce: I came here to save you.
- Steve Pierce: Southern men don't need saving. We look after our own.
- Johnny Ventura: Jack, I'm sorry.
- Jack Marshak: Just go. If we move fast, there may not be anything to be sorry about.

- Johnny Ventura: In other words, the things that your grandchildren didn't want.
- Frances: Exactly.
