Quotes 

• Donald Chapman : [after the cops found the dynamite]  There's others who feel like me - it don't make much difference what happens to me...

  Sgt. Joe Friday : Now you listen to me, you wide-mouthed punk, we've heard just about all we want from you.

  Donald Chapman : I know my rights. I know the law, too. You'll want to know a LOT more - a motive, for one thing.

  Sgt. Joe Friday : Hate'll do for a start, and you try to put that walnut-sized brain of yours to work on this: you keep harping about minorities.

  Donald Chapman : That's right.

  Sgt. Joe Friday : Well, mister, you're a psycho, and they're a minority too.

• [Friday and Gannon are interrogating Donald L. Chapman at his apartment after he had taken four cases of stolen dynamite with blasting caps and planted the resulting explosive somewhere] 

  Officer Bill Gannon : You expect us to believe you've got a closet full of dynamite and you don't know how it got in there?

  Donald Chapman : How am I supposed to know? I hardly ever go into the closet.

  Sgt. Joe Friday : Never mind the smart answers, Chapman. We can bust you right here for Receiving Stolen Property.

  Donald Chapman : [cockily]  So why don't you do it?

  Sgt. Joe Friday : Just tell us what you did with that dynamite.

  Donald Chapman : Maybe I'll change my mind. You said I don't have to talk to you. Maybe I won't.
