Kerry Duff: Kayla West

Quotes 

• Kayla West : So the firemen just busted down innocent people's doors?

  Mr. Dupree : Well according to that government, those people were not innocent, they were guilty of a heinous crime; owning books.

  J.B. Halliburton : Man, librarians must've been on the most wanted list.

  Mr. Dupree : Not far from the truth, Mr. Halliburton.

  Jett Jackson : Yeah but that could never happen now, you know, in the real world.

  Mr. Dupree : One would hope not, but in the near future as the author Mr. Ray Bradbury shows us, anything is possible.

• Sheriff Wood Jackson : Mr. Dupree is relieved of his teaching duties, indefinitely and without pay. I'm sorry.

  Kayla West : You're sorry? You arrested him!

  Sheriff Wood Jackson : I don't like it any better than you do, Kayla, but you heard him admit he knew it was illegal.

  Kayla West : It doesn't matter, what you did was wrong.

• Sheriff Wood Jackson : Kayla, Mr. Dupree could've gone to jail.

  J.B. Halliburton : Jail? For reading a book?

  Sheriff Wood Jackson : Not just any book, J.B. The city ordinance states that any book promoting illegal behavior should be banned, and Mayor Beale believes that Fahrenheit 451 promotes the challenging of authority.

  Kayla West : Oooh! Soon people will start having original thoughts and start thinking for themselves.

  [gasps] 

  Kayla West : I can see the revolution now!

• Kayla West : We're holding a support rally; what they did to Mr. Dupree is wrong and we're going to let them know it. Are you with us?

  Jett Jackson : Of course I am, I just can't demonstrate with you.

  Kayla West : Why not?

  Jett Jackson : Well I don't think it would look too good, with my dad being the sheriff, you know.

  Kayla West : We're not going to be doing anything illegal, it's a peaceful assembly, nothing wrong with that, right?

  Jett Jackson : Right, but I got a lot at stake with the Silverstone image. I mean how do you think the network would feel if I got arrested?

  Kayla West : I can understand but what if there was a law against people watching Silverstone?

• Mayor Beale : I appreciate your indictment of our town laws, but most of out town citizenry here have little trouble following them.

  Jett Jackson : Objection!

  Mayor Beale : To what?

  Jett Jackson : To the juxt... to what you just said! Wilstead's laws are broken every day.

  Kayla West : Why, just this morning, Mrs. Dunleavy violated article 6 section 42 of the Wilstead penal code.

  Mrs. Dunleavy : I did not! I never broke a law in my life!

  Kayla West : I'm afraid so, ma'am. Today is Thursday and according to the penal code, hanging your husband's shorts on the line on a Thursday is a direct violation of the law.

  Jett Jackson : And then there's Austin Roy, willfully violating article 7 subheading B: he was seen playing his accordian within 50 yards of the local library. Do we really want these criminals on our streets? I say we arrest them!

  Mayor Beale : [dryly applauding]  Son your little showbiz spectacular is very entertaining but it's wildly off the mark. Those are very very old laws.

  Jett Jackson : Exactly my point, and it's about time that somebody changed them.
