The Ladies of La Belle (2017)

Jeff Daniels: Frank Griffin

Quotes 

• Jacob Gustavson : You are no man of God!

  Frank Griffin : [chuckles]  God? What God? Mister, you clearly don't know where you are. Look around. There ain't no higher-up around here to watch over you and your young'ns. This here's the paradise of the locust the lizard the snake. It's the land of the blade and the rifle. It's godless country. And the sooner you accept your inevitable demise, the longer you're all gonna live.

• Frank Griffin : [about his adoptive father]  I learned to love Mr. Haight. He taught me with the stick and the bullwhip and the knife how to love. Same as I love Roy Goode now. For he's my son. I chose him. And that is a more powerful bond, a more powerful love than being born into it. I aim to show him that love when we meet up again. We know he came through this way. A skinny little fella. The kind you might mistakenly underestimate.

• Frank Griffin : Are you crying, sir?

  A.T. Grigg : [mopping his eye]  No, it's just my eye. Old war wound.

  Frank Griffin : You fought in what war?

  A.T. Grigg : I fought my wife. May she rest in peace. And on the last occasion, she broke a bottle of liniment across my cheek.
