- Tobias Beecher: You hate the law? Well, I love it. I love the law, even if it didn't turn out in my favor. You know why I love the laws we have in this state? Because it keeps people like Schillinger, Adebisi and Hernandez away from my kids.
- Father Ray Mukada: [At the funeral of an African American CO Joseph Howard] Eternal rest grant unto him, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine down upon him. And now, Tim McManus would like to say a few words. Tim.

- Augustus Hill: Ultimately, I guess it don't matter what they write in your obituary, cause you ain't gonna be around to read it. Newsprint fades, paper turn to pulp. The mark you leave behind has to be deeper. The mark you leave behind, has to be on another person's soul.
- Tobias Beecher: Father.
- Father Ray Mukada: Yeah?
- Tobias Beecher: Have you ever loved anybody too much?
- [Mukada looks a little taken aback at the question, Beecher shakes his head]
- Tobias Beecher: Of course. You're not allowed. I mean, the celibacy thing. I guess my question is, is it wrong to love somebody too much?
- Father Ray Mukada: Well, I guess that depends on how the love manifests itself. And the answer to your first question is, yes, I have.
