"You want a show?! Huh?! Is that what you want?! You can all go to Hell!"

"[first lines] Lady, you sit in your nice house, clean floors, your bottled water, your flowers on Valentines Day, and you think youre tough? Wear my shoes. Tell me tough. Work a day in the pit, tell me tough."

"My name is Hank Aimes and Ive been a miner all my life. And Ive never been ashamed of it until now. You know when we take our wives and daughters to the company barbecue, I dont hear any of them calling them those names like bitches and whores and worse. I dont see anyone grab them by their privates or drawing pictures of them on the bathroom walls, its unspeakable. Unspeakable! So whats changed? Shes still my daughter! Its a heck of a thing, to watch one of your own get treated that way. Youre all supposed to be my friends, my brothers. Well, right now I dont have a friend in this room. In fact the only one Im not ashamed of is my daughter."
