- William Colton: The next death that I have a hand in... the next killing... if ever I have to kill again... I want it personal. I want to be able to choose. If some boy has to die by my hands, I don't want it sanctioned by an act of congress...
- William Colton: Son, you got two places to go. First to a doctor to get that cleaned out. Then to a minister to thank the good Lord that you're still breathing.
- Jody Merriman: You could've gone six inches lower. You could've killed me. You had your chance. What happened?
- William Colton: I had my chance once before.
