David Morse

"You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares."

"You should'a took the day off, gone to see the doctor."

"You might wanna reconsider getting in the cell with this guy?"

"You sure you wanna be in there with him?"

"Course they're broken, I heard the damn bones crack."

"You'll probably have to answer for sending him off the Mile."

"He's gonna cause you trouble over this, you mark me."

"I guess the legislature loosened those purse-strings enough to hire on a new guard."

"You see it foaming at the mouth, Mouse Man?"

"We don't scare 'em any more than we have to, Percy."

Alien in Ted Arroway form quote

"Arlen Bitterbuck, you have been condemned to die by a jury of your peers, sentence imposed by a judge in good standing in this state."
