Quotes4

  • Sid Brooks: I don't understand you, Ruth. He tries to rape you and you defend him.
  • Ruth Evans: I know. It's difficult to understand; but, see, you weren't there. You didn't see him like I did, Sid. If you did, you'd have some compassion or sympathy for him, believe me.
  • Sid Brooks: Sympathy? Ruth, you sound as though you're sorry he didn't go through with it.
  • [Ruth slaps Sid]
  • Sid Brooks: I hope they hang him. I hope he hangs till the rope rots.
  • Sid Brooks: Look, have you got a phone I could use?
  • Medical Examiner: Right there. Leave a nickel on the desk.
  • Sid Brooks: That's like talkin' to a Roman candle.
  • Ruth Evans: He wants to take me out to Hegewisch Park.
  • Sid Brooks: Well, if you're an ornithologist, I guess that's the best place to go - to find various species of birds. Should be a very entertaining afternoon for you, watching Judd and all the other strange birds.
  • Ruth Evans: Oh, stop it, Sid. Judd isn't as strange as you're making him out to be. And I really don't think he's that different from any other boy.
  • Sid Brooks: Yeah, I guess he isn't. But...
  • Ruth Evans: What?
  • Sid Brooks: Well, you know, the birds, the genius I.Q., graduate school at 19 - I just don't get the feeling he's gonna challenge Dempsey for the title.
  • Ruth Evans: Just because he can speak about something besides sex - you, Artie and all the rest of you seem to think he's some kind of freak.
  • Sid Brooks: Look, honey, for all I know, he's another Casanova. I just don't think I'm gonna have to worry about you at Hegewisch Park.
