(out of breath) Grandpa! Dad! Mom!... It was... it was ME! (remorsefully) It's all my fault! I ate the Lutefisk! I got sick in the bathroom! I lit the matches! I burned down the church! I let everyone blame Grandpa!...
I told you I didn't do it. Your boy is the Man with the Terrible Smell!
(crestfallen sigh)
I knew it, I knew this was too good to be true.
[Peggy removes a cassette from an audio recorder and begins destroying the tape]:
(sternly) Bobby, you are gonna march down that hall and tell the police everything. See if maybe they will spare your grandfather's life.
(resigned) Okay...
[Cotton slams his cuffed hands on the table]:
Nobody's goin' no place! Siddown Hank, Hank's Wife - (turns to Bobby) You too, Stinky!
Hey, don't call him that!
(sarcastically) Oh, I'm sorry! Did I hurt your feelings, Stinky?
Grandpa?
It don't feel so good, does it? Well, get used to it, 'cuz that's what everyone's gonna call you if you go blabbing to the po-lice...Stinky!
He's right. Oh Lord, and there are other names, too!
Yeah, how 'bout "arsonist"? That's what they'll be calling him in State of Texas v. Bobby Hill!
So many names...what are we gonna do?
You'll do what I say is what are you gonna do. Now get the cops in here. Tell 'em I'm ready to confess.
No, Dad, you can't!
I'm an old man, everybody already hates me. But Bobby, he's just a child; he's got his whole life ahead of him!
(moved) ...Cotton, do you know what you're saying?
If I can take a bullet for my grandson, I'll do it. But not in the face; that's how I make my livings.
How you make your-?
(interrupting) Send 'em in!
