[last lines]
Max Cady : [Bowden has shot Cady and is holding the gun on him] Go ahead. I just don't give a damn.
Sam Bowden : No. No! That would be letting you off too easy, too fast. Your words - do you remember? Well I do. No, we're gonna take good care of you. We're gonna nurse you back to health. And you're strong, Cady. You're gonna live a long life... in a cage! That's where you belong and that's where you're going. And this time for life! Bang your head against the walls. Count the years - the months - the hours... until the day you rot!

Police Chief Mark Dutton : [Bowden has told Dutton that he's worried about Max Cady] You have a dog don't you, Sam?
Sam Bowden : She couldn't bite through a doughnut; but she's a good barker.
Police Chief Mark Dutton : Well, that's good enough. I'll call you when they pick him up.

Nancy Bowden : Well, anyway, you're ten minutes late.
Sam Bowden : It's a mistake to teach women how to tell time. They always use it against you.

Sam Bowden : [tries to pay Cady to leave town; Cady wants revenge] You shocking degenerate. I've seen the worst - the dregs - but you... you are the lowest. Makes me sick to breathe the same air.
