Ben Vereen: Issac West

Quotes 

• Samuel Carlton : How come you got a gun?

  Issac West : Decoration. Some men wear diamonds - I wear cold steel.

• Samuel Carlton : You good?

  Issac West : Yeah, I'm good. You know, when I was about your age, I saw my master beatin' Pappy to death for stealin' some food. I swore before God and my mama that I was gonna kill him. So I stole this pistol and I practiced and I practiced until I could shoot a fly right out of the sky.

  Samuel Carlton : Did you kill him?

  Issac West : Who? The fly or my master?

  Samuel Carlton : Your master.

  Issac West : Nooo. I grew up, he went crazy and I lost the anger.
