David McLean: Tate

Quotes 

• Sam : It's kinda late for supper.

  Tate : You eat when ya can. You learn that in the army. What's good?

  Sam : Well, that depends on what army you was with. I've got side meat and black-eyed peas.

  Tate : [Smiling]  That's the army.

• Doc Emmett Ealy : Do you ever stop to think about life?

  Tate : Whenever I see a man die.

  Doc Emmett Ealy : I was thinkin' about you and me. Kinda like a woman buying yard goods over a counter. She buying, the storekeeper selling, but they're both dealing in the selfsame goods. Kinda like you and me. We're both trading in human life.

  Tate : But on different sides of the counter.
