  Goober Petry : Yea, hear they just winged that school pervert. Too bad.

  Sgt. Lonnie Jamison : Come on Elroy.

  Goober Petry : We don't want you to take Elroy. We think he aint done nothing wrong.

  Cpl. Wilson Sweet : You realize you're obstructing justice? That gives us the right to go over or through you to do our duty.

• Chief William O. 'Bill' Gillespie : Well that sounds like attempted murder Elroy. I'm surprised at you.

  Elroy Baines : Weren't no attempted murder. If I aimed to kill that boy he'd be in the ground.

  Chief William O. 'Bill' Gillespie : What did you aim to do?

  Elroy Baines : I was trying to scare him. Let him know we don't need his kind in this town.
