Bad Day at Black Rock1955

Liz:
Things change.

Macreedy:
Sure do. And Smith is the kid who changes 'em, isn't he?...What's wrong with this town of yours, Miss Worth?...

Liz:
I don't want to get involved.

Macreedy:
Involved in what?

Liz:
Whatever you're up to. Whatever happens, I've got to go on living in this town. These people are my neighbors, my friends.

Macreedy:
All of 'em?

Liz:
This is my town, Mr. Macreedy, like it or not.

Macreedy:
Well, if you don't like it, why do you stick around?

Liz:
My brother Pete, he'd never leave.

Macreedy:
Didn't it ever occur to you that you might leave without him? You look like a pretty independent young lady. Your brother seems to me...

Liz:
Weak. Yeah, I know. That's why I couldn't leave him.

Macreedy:
What did your brother do?

Liz:
What do you care? What do you care about Black Rock?

Macreedy:
I don't care anything about Black Rock. Only it just seems to me that there aren't many towns like this in America. But one town like it is enough and because I think somethin' kind of bad happened here, Miss Worth, somethin' I can't quite seem to find the handle to.

Liz:
You don't know what you're talking about.

Macreedy:
Well, I know this much. The rule of law has left here and the gorillas have taken over.
