Quotes 

• Reverend Anderson : Don't return their hate. Don't dishonor yourself.

  Jagger : Why don't you go home and get out of here? I got too much hate in me to keep plugged up anymore!

  Reverend Anderson : When he came at you, Jagger... did it feel good to you then?

  Jagger : What difference?

  Reverend Anderson : When you aimed that gun at his head... that wasn't such a bad moment, was it?

  Jagger : Good, bad, who cares?

  Reverend Anderson : When you killed him, Jagger... when you blew his head off... there were no regrets then, were there? You enjoyed that, didn't you?

  Jagger : You know it!

  Reverend Anderson : Yes. Yes, I... I know it now. Now I know it too well. You're guilty.

  [turns to the crowd] 

  Reverend Anderson : This man is guilty.

  Jagger : It's important to get with the majority, isn't it? That's... oh, that's a big thing nowadays, isn't it, Reverend?

  Reverend Anderson : That's all there is, is the majority. The minority must have died on the cross, two thousand years ago.

• Newspaper Editor Colbey : Jagger, the man you killed was no saint. But we don't dispense life or death just because somebody offends us. That's the distinction between men and animals.

  Jagger : Oh, well, that's very well said, that's very well said, Mr. Colbey. You tell that to the man who's going to fix my rope. You tell it to the sheriff out there and his deputy. You tell it to townspeople who are going to stand around and watch my eyes bulge out and enjoy my agony. You tell them, you tell them about the difference between men and animals. But you'd better be ready to draw pictures, because this language, they don't just dig!
