One of the best lines in any movie ever..


When Severence says on the phone.. "listen to me you C....."

Epic. I don't think I've seen such a raw badass line like that in any movie since.. the delivery is excellent.

One thing that irritates me about imdb boards it's the "looks like" topics. Never even close.

Another great Severence line: "Santee's like a son to me, but I'M GONNA KILL HIM."

The best lines are between Severence and Rudy. Like...

*Jack 'Rudy' Rudisill: Santee was *beep* your wife Esther.
*Lt. Franklin L. Severence: Many times, Rudy. Many times.
*Jack 'Rudy' Rudisill: There's just something wrong with that. A friend is someone who doesn't *beep* your wife.
*Lt. Franklin L. Severence: I never said Santee was a friend. I said he was like a son to me.
*Jack 'Rudy' Rudisill: That makes it worse, doesn't it?
Lt. Franklin L. Severence: Oh yeah, much worse.


Prostitute: What the *beep* are you doing?
Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.

Okay. Well, I guess I don't go for the hard-core male stuff.

For me, I liked exchanges like ... paraphrased:

Rita: So what did you do that got you into prison?

Santee; I turned away from Jesus. ...

This after she had asked him his name, which he had declined to give.

Santee: What are you, from People magazine?
