Ron Canada: Rev. Tramer Dale

Quotes 

• Rev. Tramer Dale : I appreciate your efforts at conciliation, Ms. Daynes. But I still remain fundamentally opposed to the relocation of that statue.

  Liz Rosenblum : At least we know the price for the great Tramer Dale selling out. A trip to the White House.

  Rev. Tramer Dale : Young lady, you mean well. You declare "this is racist" and "that is racist". But you are young, white, and living in America. You don't know what it's like to walk in my shoes. And I won't always be around to tell you, but that statue will. It stays.

• Tom Kirkman : Reverend Dale, this is a great honor for me.

  Rev. Tramer Dale : The honor is mine, sir.

  Tom Kirkman : I also wanted to thank you for your willingness to compromise on the statue. In the end, we moved it to an area that was less trafficked. I know that's not what you wanted.

  Rev. Tramer Dale : No, sir. I believe we sanitize history at our peril. It's nice when it's history we don't like.

  Tom Kirkman : But not when it's something we do.

  Rev. Tramer Dale : Yes, sir. It's a dangerous precedent we set here today, sir.

  Tom Kirkman : I don't disagree with you, but sometimes compromise seems to be the only way to move forward.

  Rev. Tramer Dale : Yeah. Well, you can thank your pistol of a young lawyer here for bringing me around. She reminded me that there's no virture in absolutism. Old lions like me can be stubborn.

  Tom Kirkman : Yet they still roar.

• Mike Ritter : Reverend Dale, may I lead you out, sir?

  Rev. Tramer Dale : No. But you may walk with me.
