"I went over it with you, now with your brother." " Justin?" " Not a single soul will be turned away." "For Pete's sake, Justin, you know the only reason a lot of them are here is for a hot meal." "Then they will be fed." "It's not just the food." "A lot of these people might be criminals." "There's a lot of money pouring in." ""Maybe they're looking for an angle--"" "Damn it!" "They're not all here to be saved, brother Justin." "They've come because they were called, Mr. Dolan." "I need them all." ""Everything seems worse when I'm trying to sleep."" "I smelled smoke." "It wasn't a dream." "It wasn't." "Sometimes I wonder if all this ain't the dream." "If it is, I want to wake up." "You should do that more." "I was wondering..."

"Take them out of my place and burn them." "I don't ever want to see 'em again." "I take it you'll be needing a truck." "Yeah." "Been in Ingram a week." "A shit burg like this..." "It ain't worth a day." "What're you sayin'?" "If we stick around much longer, they're gonna start grousing." " You tell him I'm doing the best I can." " He knows that." "Then why you crawling up my hoop about it?" "I've been all over this place." "I ain't found nothing." "It's not like Kerrigan gave me a road map." "All right, I'm just asking."

"I was just making some notes a few moments ago." ""And you'll never believe what I was thinking about." ""I was thinking about..." "Salt."" "In many ways, salt might appear to be a curse from above." "The salt from the sweat of our back-breacking labors." ""The salt from the tears of a child gone hungry." ""The salt rubbed unmercifully into the lash marks left by the whip."" "The oceans themselves, great bodies of water, that might irrigate this withered land, but cannot." "And why?" "Because they are poisoned with salt." ""And yet..." "We know" ""that it is not a curse;" ""It is a blessing." ""A mere pinch kills the writhing slug" ""that ravishes our garden," ""the leech that sucks our lifeblood." ""And let us not forget, brothers and sisters," ""the salt upon our tables,"" "pure and white, that increases our enjoyment of God's simple bounty." ""You mind?"" " What happened?" " They've been skittish." "One of them must've bit the others..." "Or they got sick." "Who knows why some things die?" "Why you been ducking me, Ben?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Yeah?" "Then why won't you even look at me?" "If I did something to you, or said something, you stand up like a man, Ben Hawkins, and you tell me." "Don't you hide from me like you hide from everything else." "I ain't hiding from you." "Well, you're doing a pretty good impersonation." "Okay, I don't want to be around you." "Satisfied?" "You're scared of something." "The only thing scares me is folks using other folks to use me." "You think I want to use you?" "For what?" "Forget it, God damn it." "It ain't even about you!" "Just forget everything." "You said it-- Some things die;" "Some things don't." "I can't keep up this pace, Felix." "Oh hell, this ain't nothing." "You got us putting out from noon till sunday."

"Make pretty good sense for the future, is what I thought." "You're full of shit, as usual." "Okay, then." "I'll send him on his way." "No matter." "You say the word." "I'm all..." "Messed up down there." "Just get out of here." "Get!" "Hey, Sofie!" "Did you do like I asked?" "Yeah, I burned them." "Except this one." "What's it mean?" "Never seen it before."

"It's your show" "And it's your crew!" "You wanna can her, don't even talk to me." "You handle it!" "Watch it up there!" "Sorry." "Little late in the day for breakfast." "Honey pie, I could eat breakfast three times a day." "Give a holler if there's anything else." "One thing" "The night of the fire at the mission, you saw the car." "Damned vulture." "You want a story, talk to the cops." "It's over." "Why don't you give it a rest?" "You know, a young lady came to me the other day," "No older than you, I'm sure."
