Brute Force Quote

Warden A.J. Barnes: [In the Warden's office: things at the prison have gotten progressively worse] What's the answer to it? Are we going to have to keep every prisoner in ritual solitary? Other prisons must have the same problems, but they clear them up, keep things running smoothly.
Captain Munsey: We've been through difficult times before, Warden.
Warden A.J. Barnes: Oh, never like this. And McCollum is coming tomorrow. Why? Why can't he let me alone? Everything's gone wrong. I don't know who's to blame, but... I do know that every prisoner hates us.
Captain Munsey: Not us. Me. It's ME they hate.
Dr. Walters: [Sarcastically] I wonder why?
Captain Munsey: [to Dr. Walters] You put on a guard's uniform and see how much they love YOU.
Captain Munsey: [Directing his attention to the Warden] You talk to the prisoners over a loudspeaker. I talk to them with a club. You only MAKE the rules. I have to enforce them.
Warden A.J. Barnes: Maybe it's the way you enforce them.
Captain Munsey: Maybe it is.
