A scene from Brubaker 1980
Brubaker

Tower number 3 - who'm I looking at? He's looking at me.

Coombes

Up there, you got Douglass Mizell.

Brubaker

Who the hell is Doug Mizell?

Coombes

He's a forger. Three times grand theft.

Brubaker

I want a rundown on everybody that's got tower duty. I-

Coombes

I do believe that's Purcell's job, sir.

Brubaker

I want only murderers up there; one-time impulse killers.

Coombes

Well, aren't you taking kind of a chance doing that? Aren't you? I mean, uh...

Brubaker

Coombes

[laughs]

There's nobody around here like me.
