The Boy Who Was Buried this Morning Quotes

“And you never even reported it. You should have reported it. I could have took fingerprints. I'd love to lock up them skinheads."

"What I'm reporting is the gun, my Sig Sauer." Dave said. "Hetzel will have it. I want it back."

"What did it cost you?" Rose said.

"That's not the point," Dave said. "It's the only gun I ever owned. I'm against guns. They give too many people power who have no right to it. Guns cancel out intelligence, reason, decency, civility, and put terror in their place. I got along without a gun most of my working life. But a man can't buck the odds forever. About five years back I bought the Sig Sauer. I'm used to it. And I don't know that I'm morally prepared to buy another one.”
