Incident on the Edge of Madness (1959)

Alan Marshal: Warren Millett

Quotes 

• Warren Millett : The Millett place is on the other side of town. You can't miss it. It looms up on the prairie like a mirage. But it's very real. A fading symbol of gracious life now vanished from the earth.

• Narcie : Why, Gil Favor has got more manhood in one little finger than your whole family line from John Smith and Pocahontas.

  Warren Millett : Stop it!

  Narcie : Just look at yourself, an overdressed windbag.

• Warren Millett : Your Lord and Master here knows I'm recruiting men of stout hearts to re-establish the Confederacy and a way of life that's dear to every Southener worthy of the name.

  Gil Favor : These men are trying to forget the war. You're wasting your breath.

• Mayor Haslip : I've seen this town all through the war. I helped keep it alive. What we want is peace and a chance to build it up. You won't let us.

  Warren Millett : Would you dismiss this man, Captain Childers?

  Mayor Haslip : I'll kill anybody that tries to stop me from saying my piece. You, you keep telling us about living high on the hog somewhere in the jungle, a place no one ever heard of. You got all those people stirred up drilling and marching when they ought be working. And now you're bringing in these cowboys. What you got stewing around in that crazy mind of yours? STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!

  [as Narcie is striking him with a whip] 

• Warren Millett : Go on, drink up. To the power and the glory. A good drink dries up all the foolish, dull, and cruddy vapours environing the brain. It illumines the face and impels the heart to deeds of courage.

  Jesse Childress : Oh, Colonel, you said that real pretty.

  Warren Millett : So did someone else before me.
