Richard Eyer: Davey Kane

Quotes 

• Davey Kane : You know, Mr. Dunlap, you're a funny kind of man. It seems to me you go out of way just lookin' for trouble.

  Casey Dunlap : It's a good way to pass time, Davey.

• Davey Kane : He used to be a good lawman. They used to like Mr. Morgan; they showed him respect and then, for one time in his life, he got scared.

  Casey Dunlap : Yeah, Davey, that one time was enough. Abel Morgan has never paid for what he did.

  Davey Kane : It seems to me he's been payin' ever since it happened. He'll probably keep on payin' as long as he lives... as long as he remembers. My pa says there's lots of ways a man can get scared. Sometimes it happens when he can't help himself; when he's got no way of stopping himself from getting scared. My pa says that sometimes you've got to judge a man from beginning to end and not just for one bad mistake. He says there's something about it in the Bible that sort of explains all that. Something about who's got the right to judge anyway. Maybe you know what he meant, Reverend.

  Joshua Jessop : Judge not others unless ye judge thyself.

  Davey Kane : Yeah! You see all I was tryin' to say is everybody gets scared once in a while.

• [last lines] 

  Davey Kane : There oughta be some words we can say, Luke. You know, not just the ordinary words you say over graves, but somethin' special - somethin' to thank them for what they've done.

  Luke Perry : Fittin' words are kind of hard to find, Davey boy. I reckon what we feel inside is more important than just plain words.

  Davey Kane : I keep thinkin' about what Mr. Dunlap said about how his folks told him that he had a guardian angel to look after him. I guess you and me were lucky, Luke... We had four.
