Paul: Keep a civil tone on my block!
Wild Bill: I was just playing.
Home scene (Paul is at home with his wife)
Paul: Something bothers me but I dont know why...
Jan: What?
Paul: I cant get rid of that thought...
Jan: What are you talking about, honey?
Paul: ...that he is guilty...you know… I saw many people ...they looked so innocent but that guy...he is something...I cant explain
Jan: you feel that he is not guilty but you are not judge and that double murder is awful just think he is crazy.
Paul: I know.
(week later, Coffey healed Paul from urinary infection and a woman with a tumor)
Jan: honey?
Paul: I faced the problem that I cant solve...he is a child…he is...we will kill a miracle... I know violent men he doesnt seem to be any real violence. God gave him that gift; its the same as kill a child.
Jan: I understand you. He is a pure child. I saw him yesterday…just to thank him for his help. I brought a lemon cake, he was so happy.
Paul: I cant do it, Jan!
Jan: He told me that he is tired. Its hard for him to overcame that…He has seen enough. He sacrificed his body each time.
Paul: he is a miracle.
Miranda: why do people keep saying that? (Entering)
Paul: why are u here?
Miranda: just want to know what prison guard says about that bustard!
Paul: you can write whatever you want but the truth is precious. I have nothing to add.
Miranda: I have never heard that from a prison guard before.
