Life Sentence (1960)

Robert Bray: Simon Kane

Quotes 

• [referring to her previous life as a saloon girl] 

  Clara : Mr. Kane, I know that as long as Leo's my husband, I'll never have to go back to that upstairs room again or live that kind of life.

  Simon Kane : The way he's acting, you might not have him long. He'll either be a killer or a corpse.

• Simon Kane : You can't put me in jail for something I haven't done!

  Marshal Strickland : In your case, I'll make an exception.

• Simon Kane : [to Calloway]  You got a belly full of hate and brain full of maggots and you're holdin' the whole world responsible for your own bad smell!

• Marshal Strickland : Any news?

  Simon Kane : Well, Doc pulled the bullet out.

  Clara : Does that mean anything?

  Simon Kane : Means you're not much of a murderess, ma'am.

• [last lines] 

  David Kane : You know, it's not fair, Pop. Mr. Reese did his wrongs a long time ago and he's still being punished.

  Simon Kane : Those were big wrongs, Davey - treason, desertion, cowardice in battle.

  David Kane : Yeah, but he's never been tried or convicted!

  Simon Kane : No need to be. The minute it happened he gave himself a life sentence.
