A Thousand Cranes (2003)

Sharif Atkins: Michael Gallant

Quotes 

• Michael Gallant : [discussing their previous arrest]  I don't get how you can roll over like that?

  Gregory Pratt : That's the way it works sometimes.

  Michael Gallant : Yeah. If you let it.

  Gregory Pratt : What are you going to do, file a lawsuit?

  Michael Gallant : That's one way to fight it.

  Gregory Pratt : There is no fighting it.

  Michael Gallant : You know, I don't buy that.

  Gregory Pratt : Look, we could be perfect, you know, like Gandhi. But as soon as the crap goes down, we'll be the first ones laid out in the street with a gun to our head. Now, where I grew up, you see it every day. And if it happens to you enough, you get the message. You are not equal. You are not a full citizen. You are first, last, and above all, one thing and one thing only: a suspect.
