Quotes 

• Jason McCord : Is that how you want history to end this story? With a senseless murder? John Wilkes Booth shot down a great man. He'll go down in infamy. Edwin Booth... Shot down a dog and he went to the gallows for it. Well, what's it to be... tragedy or some cheap catch-penny melodrama? The last act is up to you, Edwin Booth.

• Edwin Booth : I suppose I should warn you, I'm often taken for a cuspidor, you in turn will garner your share of spit. Not to mention snubs, brickbats, catcalls, and an occasional rotten egg.

  Jason McCord : Well, it wouldn't be new.

• Jason McCord : He fired me?

  Hannibal - Valet : You don't have to worry about that, Mister Jason, a man like you knows how to get along.

  Jason McCord : Sure.

  Hannibal - Valet : Mister Edwin, he's not like you. He don't know how to carry his burden. He goes about it all wrong.

• Jason McCord : I'm six foot six and over thirty.

• Jason McCord : He fired me?

  Hannibal - Valet : You don't have to worry about that, Mister Jason, a man like you knows how to get along.

  Jason McCord : Sure.

  Hannibal - Valet : Mister Edwin, he's not like you. He don't know how to carry his burden. He goes about it all wrong.

  Jason McCord : I was just beginning like Booth, contrary as he is.
