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.
