Elwood: I've been writing everything down.
Turner: Everything what?
Elwood: Our 'community service'. The deliveries, the pay-offs, the yard work, the chores. The names of everybody and the dates.
Turner: Why would you do a thing like that?
Elwood: You told me. No one else can get me out of here, just me.
Turner: Man, no one ever listens to me. Alright, why you got to start?
Elwood: God damn it, it's not an obstacle course, Turner. You can't go around it, you have to go through it. Walk with your head up no matter what they throw at you.
Turner: All right, I get it, you mad and need to get it off your chest, that's cool, but...
Elwood: -No, I'm telling you. There's a fifth way out: Get rid of Nickel.
Turner: They put us in the goddamn ground! They going to take you out back, and bury your ass. Shit!
[He remains silent and thinks]
Turner: Oh, Jesus! They gonna take me out back, too. Elwood I vouched for you man, the hell is wrong with you!
