Barney
- David Blake: [Blake and Castle are discussing the fund-raising for Angel Chavez's defense fund] Look, it's not only the way you are raising the money, it's the people that are raising it.The All Peoples Party. Barney, half of them are a bunch of Communists, you know that!
- Bernard 'Barney' Castle: I'd say sixty percent, and some of the others are cheating the Party out of its dues.
- Angel Chavez: We were making love.
- Bernard 'Barney' Castle: [grabs Angel] Don't say that again. Not ever! You know what that means? You weren't doing that, were you?
- Angel Chavez: No.
- Abbe Nyle: If her heart gave out, it was no crime.
- David Blake: No, Miss Nyle. Any death, even an accidental death is murder if it occurs as part of a felony. That's the felony murder rule.
- Bernard 'Barney' Castle: That's right. Marie Wiltse was underage. Statutory rape is a felony and what we call a little harmless necking is what they call assault.
- Bernard 'Barney' Castle: That fact that she was willing had nothing to do with it! Legally she couldn't be willing. She was underage!
- Bernard 'Barney' Castle: You know the safest place to commit a murder? A stag movie. You know why?
- David Blake: Nobody wants to admit they were there.
- Bernard 'Barney' Castle: That's Castillo out in front - aristocratic bigot. The other one is Cap Grant - the town's only old time Ku Kluxxer. He talks white supremacy while Castillo talks real estate values.
- Bernard 'Barney' Castle: Don't trust anybody! The time for trusting and cheek-turning is past! Blessed are the poor? Sure, if they've got the guts to take their blessings in their own hands! The meek will inherit the Earth? You bet they will - the day they act like the inheritors of the Earth!
