Quotes 

• Bob Ewell : [to Atticus]  You nigger lover.

  Atticus Finch : [to Jem seated in the car having been intimidated by Ewell as Ewell walks away and Atticus gets in the driver's seat]  No need to be afraid of him, son. He's all bluff.

  [a drunken Ewell yells obscenities at the car as Atticus drives away] 

  Atticus Finch : [to Jem after they get home and as he carries an asleep Scout into the house]  There's a lot of ugly things in this world, son. I wish I could keep 'em all away from you. That's never possible.

• Bob Ewell : I'm real sorry they picked you to defend that nigger that raped my Mayella. I don't know why I didn't kill him myself instead of goin' to the sheriff. That would have saved you and the sheriff and the taxpayers lots of trouble...

• Bob Ewell : What kinda man are you?
