Bullitt County Quote

The Mr.: You know, when you're firing at anything that moves in the jungle in the dead of night, God only knows how many men you've killed. But I had men in my platoon who wanted to know. They saw it as a point of pride to get to a hundred or some such thing. They were collecting prizes from the dead. Me, I always preferred not knowin'. [beat]
The Mr.: But there was this one. This one that I hit from up close, and I saw him go down not very far in front of me, and I had to know. I had to look. So I wandered out into the dark - and I saw him lyin' there in all the wet ferns and moss. Wide-eyed, staring up at the moon through the trees. His blood black in the moonlight. [finishes his bourbon]
The Mr.: And I knew I got him then.
