Death Wish1974

Paul Kersey:
Nothing to do but cut and run, huh? What else? What about the old American social custom of self-defense? If the police don't defense us, maybe we ought to do it ourselves.

Jack Toby:
We're not pioneers anymore, Dad.

Paul Kersey:
What are we, Jack?

Jack Toby:
What do you mean?

Paul Kersey:
I mean, if we're not pioneers, what have we become? What do you call people who, when they're faced with a condition or fear, do nothing about it, they just run and hide?

Jack Toby:
Civilized?

Paul Kersey:
No.
