Quotes 

• Earl Williams : I'm ready to go. I don't care. It's better to die for a cause, than the way most people die - for no reason.

• Earl Williams : I ain't afraid to die. I was tellin' the man that when he handed me the gun. Waking me up in the middle of the night. Talking to me about things you don't understand. Calling me a Bolshevik. I'm an anarchist. It's got nothin' to do with bombs. It's the philosophy that guarantees every man's freedom. And all those poor people being crushed by the system. And the boys. The boys that were killed in the war. And in the slums, all of those slaves to a crust of bread. I can hear them crying.

• Earl Williams : I ain't important. It's humanity that's important. Like I told you, Molly, humanity's a wonderful thing.

  Molly Molloy : No it ain't. They're just dirty murderers. Look what they've done to you - and me.

  Earl Williams : That's because they don't know any better.

  Molly Molloy : You're too good for 'em! That's why.

  Earl Williams : You're good too.

  Molly Molloy : Me?

  Earl Williams : Yeah. I think you're wonderful.
