- Arnold James Masters: I didn't kill anyone, and if I didn't kill anyone then I'm not insane, and I'm not gonna confess to something I didn't do.
- Emilio: [stares past the fence] I'm waiting for a train.
- Arnold James Masters: Save a seat for me.
- Emilio: I watch from here every day. One is due soon.
- Arnold James Masters: That's a nice thing about trains, they're always going somewhere.
- Emilio: I killed my own daughter. She had become a whore. They say that maybe I'm insane, but they do not understand an act of honor.
- Arnold James Masters: I didn't kill anyone. My mother was sick for a long time, I stayed with her and I took care of her. This doctor was treating her, determined that she had a tumor, but the operation was expensive, I couldn't afford to pay him, we had no insurance, oh there was a house, this old house, but my mother wouldn't sell that no matter what. Doctor refused to operate, I argued with him, I lost my head, people in the office saw me cursing him, I ran away. I came back, I was going to beg him to reconsider. He was on the floor, dead, I guess when I reached for the scalpel I got some of his blood on me, I ran to the police and told them everything, guess they needed a fall guy because they took everything I said and they twisted it, they charged me with murder, my lawyer sold me out, the trial was a joke. What's the difference?
- Emilio: I believe you.
- Arnold James Masters: They said they'd have a nurse look after my mother, they didn't, and she died. 4 days, that nurse hadn't been there to see her in all that time. They didn't tell me about it until 6 months after it happened, didn't tell me, because they were afraid the shock would be too much for me. Your train is late.
- Emilio: Maybe I can help you.
- Arnold James Masters: How?
- Emilio: The day before I die, I shall kill the pimp that made my daughter into a whore. The day after I die, I shall help you find justice for yourself.
- Nurse Burnson: [to a terminal cancer patient who can only moan] Now Mr. Schaeffer, are you having those bad thoughts again? It's just that these uniforms always shrink, you don't know how uncomfortable they are.
- [opens the top]
- Nurse Burnson: Now Mr. Schaeffer, don't get any ideas, it's just that this uniform is strangling me. You're lucky to have me. Mr. Schaeffer, to massage your legs, to clean up the mess you make in your bed, I'm on my feet all day and I don't have anyone to take care of me, I have to do it all myself. Most men don't know how to massage women, you know, I bet you do though, I'll bet you were the most gentle man in the world, and I can usually tell. Well, let's see, I see you're not due for another enema until 9 o' clock so I think I'll relax and take a shower.
- [removes her uniform and turns on radio, feigns modesty and covers herself]
- Nurse Burnson: I'll be back in a few minutes, why don't you take a little nap?
- Police Lt. Jeff Morgan: Wait a minute, didn't you tell me that when the energy force leaves his body, he is clinically and medically dead?
- Dr. Gubner: Clinically and medically yes.
- Police Lt. Jeff Morgan: Thank you very much, Doctor, I won't be needing your services any longer.
