Lonely Are the Brave Movie Quotes

Jack Burns I didn't want a house. I didn't want all those pots and pans. I didn't want anything but you. It's God's own blessing I didn't get you.
Jack Burns 'Cause I'm a loner clear down deep to my guts. Know what a loner is? He's a born cripple. He's a cripple because the only person he can live with is himself. It's his life, the way he wants to live. It's all for him. A guy like that, he'd kill a woman like you. Because he couldn't love you, not the way you are loved.

Sheriff Morey Johnson [sees light flashing on police radio] Red light's flashing, Harry. You got any time for the machine?
Harry Machine? Right.
[into radio]
Harry Roger, Highway Patrol. CS-1 out.
Sheriff Morey Johnson What was that signal, Harry?
Harry Signal? Oh, just the State Highway Patrol. Just a routine check.
Sheriff Morey Johnson Locate McNeil wherever he is and send him out for chewing gum.
Harry McNeil? Right!
Sheriff Morey Johnson When I tell you to watch that machine of yours, you say, "Machine? Right." When I give you a message for McNeil, you say, "McNeil? Right." There's something about the way you make a question of it and then say "right" that gets on my nerves.
Harry Nerves?
Sheriff Morey Johnson [sighs] Right.

Desk sergeant You mean to say you got no identification at all?
Jack Burns That's right.
Desk sergeant No draft card, no social security, no discharge? No insurance, no driver's license, no nothing?
Jack Burns No nothing.
Desk sergeant Look, cowboy, you can't go around with no identication. It's against the law. How are people going to know who you are?
Jack Burns I don't need a card to figure out who I am. I already know.

Rev. Hoskins Ah, the temptations of the flesh. I fought 'em my whole life through.
Prisoner Then how come you're in here
[jail]
Prisoner , Reverend?
Rev. Hoskins Well, I said I fought 'em, I didn't say I fought 'em off. Sometimes I lost. But believe me, it takes a lot more to tempt a preacher than it does you stumblebums in here. When I lost, I lost big!
Prisoner Are you a real preacher, Reverend?
Rev. Hoskins Well now, let's look at it this way. I always had the urge to preach. And if you got the urge, you're halfway home.
Prisoner What kept you from getting all the way?
Rev. Hoskins My temptation was women.

Jack Burns Yeah, but basically, you're still an Easterner.
Jerry Bondi What are you talking about, Jack?
Jack Burns Oh, it's easy to understand. A westerner likes open country. That means he's got to hate fences. And the more fences there are, the more he hates them.
Jerry Bondi I've never heard such nonsense in my life.
Jack Burns It's true though. Have you ever noticed how many fences there're getting to be? And the signs they got on them: no hunting, no hiking, no admission, no trespassing, private property, closed area, start moving, go away, get lost, drop dead! Do you know what I mean?
