Tom Skerritt: Sheriff Jimmy Brock

Quotes 

• Sheriff Jimmy Brock : I'm gonna make this short... ..Anybody who harasses Mr. Wood will be arrested and jailed. Threaten him, you go to jail. Blow a whistle at him, you go to jail. In this country, the bad guys go to prison. When they get out of prison, they get to be citizen again. That's the way it works here. He has to live somewhere. Nobody wants it to be here, but it is here, and that is his right. As Sheriff, I will protect that right. Anybody wants to get to him, go through me.

• Rev. Henry Novotny : Jimmy, I... I don't know what religion or denomination this Mr. Wood was, but I thought I'd give him a small memorial. Good or bad he was still one of God's children.

  Sheriff Jimmy Brock : Well, he was one of God's children when he was alive, Henry.
