Mr. Rate: Still got the shovel.

Judge Gardner: You know what nobody understands about certain kinds of low-paid public service work? Every now and then you get to put a fucking stake in a bad guy's heart.

The Flock picture

Erroll Babbage: People like Paul and Viola Gerard don't just tell lies, they are lies. In public they're decent, socially-responsible folk who look you in the eye, but never long enough to make you uncomfortable. They shake your hand, pat you on the back, but never overdo it. They're Christian if you are, they swear if you do, and they do this because people like you wrongly believe that public presentation tell us all about private lives.

Gary: What does that mean?
Margaret: Everything is what it is. You're not who you think you are.
