Mississippi Burning (1988)

Kevin Dunn: Agent Bird

Quotes 

• [the mayor has hung himself] 

  Agent Bird : I don't understand why he did it. He wasn't in on it. He wasn't even Klan.

  Ward : Mr. Bird, he was guilty. Anyone's guilty who lets these things happens and pretends like it isn't. No, he was guilty all right. Just as guilty as the fanatics who pulled the trigger. Maybe we all are.

• Anderson : [after the altercation with Ward where Ward pulled his gun on Anderson]  Do you think he would have shot me?

  Agent Bird : Oh, yes sir.

  Anderson : Ballsy little bastard, isn't he?
