"Sheriff Ray Bledsoe: You know, you should have let yourself get killed a long time ago when you had the chance. See, you may be the biggest thing that ever hit this area, but you're still two-bit outlaws. I never met a soul more affable than you, Butch, or faster than the Kid, but you're still nothing but two-bit outlaws on the dodge. It's over, don't you get that? Your time is over and you're gonna die bloody, and all you can do is choose where."

"Who are those guys?"

"Not to be a sore loser, but, when this is done if I'm dead, kill him."

"[Butch throws his bicycle away] The future's all yours, you lousy bicycles."

"If he'd just pay me what he's spending to make me stop robbing him, I'd stop robbing him."

"Boy, y'know, every time I see 'Hole in the Wall' again, it's like seeing it fresh for the first time, and every time that happens, I keep asking myself the same question, 'How can I be so damn stupid as to keep comin' back here?'"

"Paul Edgecomb didn't believe in miracles. Until the day he met one."

"Patricia Clarkson — Melinda Moores"

"Jeffrey DeMunn — Harry Terwilliger"

"Barry Pepper — Dean Stanton"

"You can come in here on your legs, but you'll go out on your backs. Billy the Kid gonna guarantee ya that."

"Adios, Chief. Drop us a card from Hell. Let us know if it's hot enough."

"David Morse — Brutus "Brutal" Howell"

"Tom Hanks — Paul Edgecomb"

"Miracles do happen."

"Elahi, Elahi, lema sabachthani? ("My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?")"

"All I wanted me was a little corn bread, you motherfuckers! All I wanted me was a little corn bread!"

"Barbecue! Me and you! Stinky-pinky, Pew-Pew-Pew! Weren't Billy, Jilly, Hilly, or Pa! It was a French-fried Cajun named Delacroix! WOO!"

"(singing quietly) Heaven … I'm in heaven … heaven …"

"He killed them with their love. That's how it is every day, all over the world."

"I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with, to tell me where we's going to or coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There's too much of it — it's like pieces of glass in my head, all the time. Can you understand?"

"Why, they's angels. Angels, just like up in heaven."

"You be still, now ... you be so quiet and so still."

"I tried to take it back, but it was too late. (crying)"

"John Coffey, just like the drink, only not spelled the same."

"On the day of my judgement, when I stand before God, and he asks me why... did I... did I kill one of his true... miracles... what am I going to say? That it was my job? It was my job..."

"I think about all of us. Walking our own Green Mile, each in our own time."

"Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not. Time takes it all, bears it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again."

"We each owe a death — there are no exceptions. But, oh God, sometimes the Green Mile seems so long."

"Elaine — you'll die, too. And my curse is knowing that I'll be there to see it. It's my atonement, you see — it's my punishment for lettin' John Coffey ride the lightning. For killing a miracle of God. You'll be gone like all the others, and I'll have to stay. Oh, I'll die eventually; of that, I'm sure. I have no illusions of immortality. But I will have wished for death long before Death finds me. In truth, I wish for it already."

"I've done some things in my life I'm not proud of, but this is the first time I've ever felt in real danger of hell."

"[grabs Percy, who is trying to turn away from the botched execution he caused] You watch, you son of a bitch!"

"[as Brutal grabs onto Percy's ears] A big man is ripping your ears off, Percy, I'd do as he says."

"[about Percy] The man is mean and careless and stupid, and that's a bad combination in a place like this. Sooner or later, he's gonna get somebody hurt, or worse."

"Goddamn it, Percy, get the hell off my block! [Percy leaves]"

"What happens on the Mile, stays on the Mile. Always has."

"I guess sometimes the past just catches up with you, whether you want it to or not. Usually, death row was called "the last mile"; we called ours "the Green Mile" — the floor was the color of faded limes. We had the electric chair — "Old Sparky," we called it. Oh, I've lived a lot of years, Ellie, but 1935 — that takes the prize. That year, I had the worst urinary infection of my life, and that was also the year of John Coffey and the two dead girls."
