Ben: (to Joe) Now evidently all I taught you means nothing. That boy upstairs needs help. He's been eaten away by hate. He won't listen to me but he likes you Joseph, so you talk to him. He admires you. You advise him. Tell him that the sacred book lies. Tell him that vengeance belongs to Joe Cartwright and Paco Rodriguez. Tell him that the court's are to be obeyed when it decides in our favour. Tell him that there is no such thing as human dignity or decency. You tell him that men have the God given right to turn themselves into jungle animals. Go ahead – tell him that. Isn't that what you believe? (edit) Joe: Don't cut too much off...I just want to make sure my hat still fits. Don't get carried away with the scissors... (edit)
