David Janssen: Harry Orwell

Quotes 

• Harry Orwell : You're not bad looking for a farmer's daughter.

  Glenna Nelson : All the traveling salesmen tell me that.

• Harry Orwell : George Makita was a friend of mine. He went to Harvard Law. He practiced law. Just because he dropped out, had long hair, and was living with a girl he wasn't married to doesn't mean he was a dealer or a user.

  Lt. Manuel 'Manny' Quinlan : You know something, Harry? You went quite a distance when you left the force.

  Harry Orwell : What does that mean?

  Lt. Manuel 'Manny' Quinlan : Oh, skip it. Come on.

• Glenna Nelson : You don't like me very much, do you?

  Harry Orwell : I don't know you very much.

• Harry Orwell : [voiceover]  It's a skill the rich are born with: the ability to shut out anything unpleasant. George was dead, so he was already shut out. Now I was being shut out. She had 80,000 golden acres and a beautiful day. She didn't need us. We didn't exist for her.

• John Mackenzie : Here's my point. Your father built up this ranch to preserve something of value. An American Dream. The Blessed Land... You subdivide this ranch now, Vadero County will be filled with people like Makita.

  Harry Orwell : He was a friend of mine, Mr. McKenzie.

  John Mackenzie : A drug peddler living in a hippie commune?

  Harry Orwell : He was just a little lost, trying to invent a family to put some roots down into your "blessed land."

  John Mackenzie : You're a romantic, Orwell. He's dead, and I'd just as soon forget him.

• Harry Orwell : [Orwell returns to his motel room and finds McKenzie pointing a gun at him, Deputy Gutierrez standing beside him]  I didn't know motel rooms were that hard to come by in Vadero.

  John Mackenzie : Glenna phoned. You upset her.

  Harry Orwell : You want me to leave?

  John Mackenzie : Yeah, I'd like that.

  Harry Orwell : Is there a bribe involved?

  John Mackenzie : I appreciate greed. But I have more faith in fear.

  [signals Guttierez to begin the beating] 

• C. C. Jackman : They said you'd look casual. Where you pick your garb, man, Salvation Army?

  Harry Orwell : Yeah, when they have a sale.

• Harry Orwell : What do you think you're buying, Laura?

  Harry Orwell : Truth!

  Harry Orwell : Even if it hurts? Even if it's lousy?

  Laura Silver : The truth.

• Glenna Nelson : Peso for your thoughts?

  Harry Orwell : They're worth more.
