Quotes

Mikel : [haranguing immigrants as they pass] Is this America? Where is this Where is this freedom? Where is this justice? You are sheep with no shepherd. You follow the wolves. You follow the wolves!
Shea Brennan : [trots between Mikel and those leaving, adamantly] I'm a man of my word. If you ever see my face again, it'll be the last thing you see.

Shea Brennan : [surveying the river is overcome by grief] Goddammit.
Thomas : [approaches Shea, stops a couple of steps behind] Missing 'em bad this morning, huh?
Shea Brennan : I miss 'em bad every morning, Tom. That ain't what's eating at me today.
Thomas : What's eating you, then?
Shea Brennan : We're making too many widows. Too many orphans.
Thomas : We ain't making nuthin'. Their deaths ain't our fault.
Shea Brennan : They're our responsibility. That makes 'em our fault.
Thomas : How's this different than sending soldiers over a hill? You knew they was gonna die. You never shed a tear for them.
Shea Brennan : [turns and shows his grief to Thomas, adamantly] The hell I didn't.
