Quotes 

• Dr. Sam Beckett : Look, son, you know what it means to be in the Klan?

  Cody : It means we're gonna stop the coloreds from taking over.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Taking over what?

  Cody : I don't know.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : You like Ada, don't you?

  Cody : Yeah, she's nice.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Would you ever hurt her?

  Cody : No. Why would I wanna hurt Ada?

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Maybe because her skin's a different color. Some people are afraid of things that are different. It's not just skin color. It could be religion or...

  Cody : But then, why didn't God just make everybody the same? Then it wouldn't matter.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Yeah, see now, that's exactly the point, Cody. It doesn't matter unless we make it matter.

  Cody : But Grandpa says it matters.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : His papa told him, and his papa before him told him, and... nobody thought to say 'stop'. See, it's up to you and me to say, 'Stop. This is wrong.'
