Life of David Gale

Braxton Belyeu:
I'm no more afraid of the Grim Reaper than I am of a Presbyterian on Mother's Day.

David Gale:
I fell of the wagon and hurt myself.

David Gale:
They wanted me to die, knowing the key to my freedom was out there somewhere!

David Gale:
Death is a gift.

David Gale:
We spend our whole life trying to stop death. Eating, inventing, loving, praying, fighting, killing. But what do we really know about death? Just that nobody comes back. Then there comes a point - a moment - in life when your mind outlives its desires, its obsessions, when your habits survive your dreams, and when your losses... Maybe death is a gift. You want her. All I can tell you is that by this time tomorrow I'll be dead. I know when. I just cannot say why. You have 24 hours to find out.

Bitsey Bloom:
Of course he sympathizes with murderers... he is one!

David Gale:
How do we start?

Bitsey Bloom:
We start with... you telling me what I'm doing here.

David Gale:
No one who looks through that glass sees a person. They see a crime. I'm not David Gale. I'm a murderer and a rapist... four days shy of his execution.

Constance Harraway:
You wanna tell me what's up?

David Gale:
Nothing. Everything. Something profoundly stupid happened last night.

Constance Harraway:
I hope you used a condom.

Constance Harraway:
Oh Jesus Christ, David. Was she one of yours?

David Gale:
It was Berlin.

Constance Harraway:
Oh great! Oh, that's great. I can hear the grapevine now. "They had to suspend her so that Gale could dick her with a conscience." A power differential equals coercion. That is great. You're so weak!

David Gale:
You know, you're not my wife, Constance. Thank God!

Constance Harraway:
Oh, well, don't worry. It's not a position I aspire to, so f*** you.

Berlin:
Sorry about being late. There was, you know, a thing.

David Gale:
Yeah, there usually is, Berlin.

Berlin:
Look, I know I'm not doing too well, and, to torture a cliché, I will do anything to pass.

David Gale:
Anything, huh?

Berlin:
Any. Thing.

David Gale:
Ok, Berlin.

David Gale:
I will give you a good grade, I will give you a very, very good grade if you just (whispers into her ear) study.

Bitsey Bloom:
You know you are in the bible belt when there are more churches than Starbucks.

Zack:
When there are more prisons than Starbucks.

Berlin:
Did I tell you that when you were circumcised they threw away the wrong part?

David Gale:
Yes, I believe you mentioned it. It's called schmuck.

Berlin:
What?

David Gale:
Part of the foreskin they throw away after circumcision, I believe it is called schmuck.

Berlin:
Aren't we so f***ing clever.

Constance Harraway:
The TA just finished transcribing all the governor's radio and TV comments. Listen to this gem: Journalist - "Governor, don't you think three executions in one week is a little excessive?" Governor - "I say let's bring them in, strap them down, and rock and roll."

David Gale:
Oh, it's good to know our governor is in touch with his inner frat boy.

Bitsey Bloom:
Hate's no fun if you keep it to yourself.

Constance Harraway:
You work so hard not to be seen as a sex object. Before long, you're not seen at all.

Zack:
73% of all serial killers vote Republican
