Bill McKinney

Deputy Lester: "I was just talking to Mitch, and he said that Gault and a couple of the deputies were... a little hard on the guy."
Capt. Kern: "Assholes!"

Trautman: "I came to get my boy."
Capt. Kern: "Your boy?"
Trautman: "I recruited him. I trained him. I commanded him for three years in Vietnam. I'd say that makes him mine."

Capt. Kern: "Why didn't you leave the kid alone in the first place?"
Sheriff: "Dammit, Dave, you think this kid just waltzed into town, announced he was a Medal Of Honor winner, and then I just leaned on him for the hell of it? I tried to do him a favor, I treated him like he was one of my neighbor's kids. I did my job, Dave, I booked him for vagrancy and resisting arrest."
Capt. Kern: "You seem pretty motivated on this one."
Sheriff: "Why don't you go out there and take a look at what's left of my men? You'll see how motivated I am, Dave, and if that doesn't do it for you why don't you go have a talk with Art Gault's widow?"
Capt. Kern: "All right, Will, I read you. Listen, I got twenty-five men I can bring up from Monroe."
Sheriff: "All right Dave, I can use them. We've got a lot of ground to cover."
