- Warden Reynolds: I promise you no harm will come to you during this conversation. Guard! These are my instructions. Dunn is to be allowed to come into this yard and return to 11 without interference.
- Guard Captain Barrett: Those to be armed get rifles and tear gas! And tell 'em not to get itchy fingers!
- James V. Dunn: I want your word, Warden, that I'll have safe conduct.
- Warden Reynolds: I promise you no harm will come to you during *this* conversation.
- Warden Reynolds: You've never tried it my way. The legislature's never given me the money I need. If they had, maybe I wouldn't have a riot on my hands.
- Commissioner Haskell: I disagree. I think this riot is a direct result of your policy of compromise with the convicts.
