Kevin Will: John Fords

Quotes 

• Stephen Walker : Look, Mr. Fords, we appreciate that our kind isn't welcome around here.

  John Fords : Hey, I don't judge folks by the color of their skin.

  Stephen Walker : Well, I was thinking more us being federal agents. The last thing you want is your customers to see you ratting them out to us.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Something did bother you about this woman. Like how she was so petite and yet so experienced around a hand cannon like a .50 caliber Desert Eagle. Or the fact that she used multiple identies when she was buying ammunition for it.

  John Fords : Second. That's the amendment that guarantees my customers' right to bear arms. Fifth. That's the amendment where my customers' right to privacy is established. Griswold v Connecticut, I believe.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : This woman works for the drug cartels. We need to find her before she kills another victim.

  John Fords : [skeptical laugh]  Cartels. Her. Jesus wept. That's one hell of a story.

  Stephen Walker : Tell us another one, then.

  John Fords : The reason why that little miss has multiple IDs is because she's been harassed by bigots her entire life. And now her and her fiancé fell in love.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Her fiancé? She was engaged?

  John Fords : And just as I don't judge race, I don't judge folks for who they love, either. Now get the hell out of my store, 'cause unless there's a Supreme Court case I haven't heard of, Obergefell v. Hodges is still the law of the land.

• John Fords : [Lewis shows him Lindsey's picture]  Huh. Nope.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : You've never seen this woman. She didn't buy hollow point rounds from you?

  John Fords : No, ma'am.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : See... see, it's the way you said "huh". It makes me think you have seen her and that you decided to cover and say no.

  John Fords : [in the same tone]  Huh.
