The Strangers Across the Street (2018)

Paul Sparks: Steve Schneider

Quotes 

• David Koresh : Well, it's not Sheriff Harwell's people.

  Judy Schneider : Well, maybe it's Immigration, 'cause a few people here from other countries don't have visas.

  Steve Schneider : I have to go on the record here and say whoever they are, it doesn't seem like the right move inviting them in.

  David Koresh : What do you recommend we do, then, Steve?

  Steve Schneider : At least keep them at arm's length. It's not a bunch of locals down at Cue Sticks.

  David Koresh : Push 'em away, it'll just make 'em more curious. Show 'em we have nothing to hide, they'll lose interest.

  Wayne Martin : They don't have probable cause. If we invite them in, we'd be essentially giving them a search warrant.

  David Koresh : What are they gonna find here, Wayne? A bunch of nice people studying the Bible?

  Wayne Martin : Who knows?

  Rachel Koresh : I agree with them. I don't think it's worth the risk.

  David Koresh : What do you think, Judy?

  Judy Schneider : You know, when I talk to people about this place, they don't understand what we're all doing here, but when they come see for themselves, then they get it, so... I don't see any sense in putting up walls to keep people out.

• Wayne Martin : I had a friend run our neighbors' plates, and they're all registered to a government building in Houston.

  Steve Schneider : They're federal agents of some kind.

  David Koresh : We don't know that.

  Steve Schneider : David, what more do you need? They're not ranchers. Why are you refusing to see this?

  David Koresh : Steven... you yourself came here to disprove me. But when I showed you the truth, did you not believe me? Yes or no?

  Steve Schneider : Yes! Yes.

  David Koresh : Wayne, your wife dragged you here kicking and screaming. But when I showed you the truth about your son, did you not believe me? Yes or no?

  [Wayne doesn't reply] 

  David Koresh : You both stayed. Why? Because there are people in this world that can hear the truth. That man, he's searching. God sent him to me. Who am I to turn him away?

  Steve Schneider : David, your heart is in the right place. But... you are opening us up to a whole lot of trouble.

  Wayne Martin : Why take the chance?

  David Koresh : Because I can turn him.

• David Koresh : Jacob, do you have a gun on you?

  Jacob Vazquez : Yeah. I totally forgot I had it on me.

  David Koresh : Give it to me.

  Steve Schneider : [Jacob hands the gun over]  Why would you bring a gun to a wedding?

  Jacob Vazquez : I got... I got... I just got it recently at a gun show.

  David Koresh : [tossing the clip to Wayne]  Empty this mag, Wayne.

  [checking the inner parts] 

  David Koresh : No, you didn't. You didn't get this at a gun show. This trigger's been modified. It's illegal.

  [handing the gun back] 

  David Koresh : Don't you ever bring something like this around here again.
