Sling Blade (1996)

Karl Childers: I don't reckon I got no reason to kill nobody.

Doyle: What are you doing with that blade, there, Karl? Karl: I aim to kill you with it, mmm hmm.

Charles Bushman: So, you were out there in the real world, huh? What's it like out there? Karl Childers: Too big.

Carl: Not funny "ha ha," funny queer.



Karl: Some people call it hell, I call it Hades.

Karl: Some people call it a sling blade. I call it a kaiser blade.

Frank: I like the way you talk. Karl: Well I like the way you talk.

Karl Childers: Coffee makes me nervous when I drink it.

Karl: I studied on it. Studied on it quite a bit.

Linda Wheatley: Karl, you know what? Melinda here was voted employee of the month at the dollar store last February. Isn't that something? Karl Childers: Yes ma'am, I reckon. Melinda: Well, when you like pricing items as much as I do, it's just bound to happen sooner or later, I guess.

Doyle: What am I supposed to do about supper while you're out runnin' around with that fag? Linda: You're not cripple, get in there and make it yourself. Doyle: Talkin' back and everything. That kinda makes me horny, Linda. Linda: Frank, maybe you better go play in your room if Doyle's gonna talk nasty. Frank: I don't wanna go play in my room. Doyle: He don't wanna go play in his room.

Karl: That boy lives inside his own heart. That's an awful big place to be.

Karl Childers: I reckon, I'm gonna have to get used to lookin' at pretty people.

Vaughan Cunningham: You seem like a thinker. You seem to always be deep in thought. So what are you thinking right now? Karl Childers: I'm thinking I could use some more o' that potted meat, if you have any extry.
