Linda Christopher : [to Ben] I know he's your brother, but he's not even playing cop anymore. He walks into a place with one thing in mind: Destroy.
Paul Sinton : It sounds like the war. You know, when some guys go crazy, and start shooting at everything that weren't wearing an American flag.
Linda Christopher : Are we going to sit back and watch?
Mayor Bradford : [arriving] Ben! Oh, Ben! Say, Ben, you got a minute?
Ben Arnold : [busy servicing tractor] No.
Mayor Bradford : Half a minute? By the way, Ben, did you get Aaron to commit to the Grand Marshal offer?
Ben Arnold : He said he'd think about it.
Linda Christopher : Maybe he got a better offer.
-
Aaron Arnold : You done wonders with the place, Ben.
Ben Arnold : Yeah. There's a hundred-and-forty acres here. Sharkey stocked seventy-five Arabians here at one time.
Linda Christopher : Arabians?
Ben Arnold : Horses.
Linda Christopher : [feels silly] Oh.
Ben Arnold : Before he was killed in the war.
Linda Christopher : What war?
Aaron Arnold : My war.

Linda Christopher : [noticing Michael, holding a paper bag, hanging outside the school property] Hey! Hey, you. What are you doing here hanging around the school?
Michael J. Loonius : I brought--what? I brought my kid his lunch.
Linda Christopher : Yeah, who's your kid?
Michael J. Loonius : All of them.
[Linda snatches the bag from his hands and takes out pills]
Linda Christopher : What's this? First downers?
Michael J. Loonius : [sarcastically] Jellybeans.

Linda Christopher : [re Ben's brother Aaron] He frightens me. Did you ever fight him?
Ben Arnold : Nah.
[remembers]
Ben Arnold : Yeah, I did once.
[chuckles]
Ben Arnold : Long time ago, over a girl. He was seventeen or eighteen.
Linda Christopher : Who won?
Ben Arnold : She did.
Linda Christopher : [laughs] Okay, I see. She picked you.
[looks at him intently]
Linda Christopher : Was it Iris?
Ben Arnold : [nods] We all ended up friends. It's like she's the only girl around here he ever liked.
Linda Christopher : Maybe that's why he hates being around here.
Ben Arnold : He don't hate nothing. Aaron's just got to have a big fuss made over him, or he thinks people don't like him.
Linda Christopher : A hero.
[said with some derision]
Molly Arnold : [Ben's little daughter comes running up] Daddy! Daddy! It's finished!
[candy-striped Uncle Sam suit]
Molly Arnold : Just in time for the parade! How do you like it?
Ben Arnold : You'll steal the parade, darling.
Molly Arnold : The Tigers are on!
Ben Arnold : [to Linda] Wanna watch?
Linda Christopher : I hate baseball.
[but Ben's on his way in]
Linda Christopher : I hate baseball!
[but follows]
Ben Arnold : You hate parades too?
Linda Christopher : [they're about to go in] When is it?
Ben Arnold : Fourth of July.

Michael J. Loonius : [after Michael drives Linda to the railroad tracks where Aaron is waiting] Aaron, I didn't know what else to do with her.
Aaron Arnold : Get the hell out of here.
Linda Christopher : [to Aaron, as Michael drives off] You're really sick.
Aaron Arnold : I'm gonna kill you.
Linda Christopher : Why?
Aaron Arnold : I don't wanna talk about it, I don't want to hear about it. I've seen and heard it all.
[Linda runs along the tracks and Aaron shoots her dead]
