- Robert Stroud: Why did you come 2,000 miles for nothing? Just to see me once a month?
- Stella Johnson: I came because I'm your wife, that's why. Bob, the only life I got is you.
- Robert Stroud: Then you've got a damned poor future, old girl. I'm never gonna get outta here.
- Stella Johnson: I could get a job in a factory. I could write letters every day. It would be like old times.
- Robert Stroud: You'd wither away and die waiting. Forget it, Stell. It's the end of the line.
- Robert Stroud: Please, Bob.
- Robert Stroud: Now, listen to me. Listen carefully. You fought your heart out for me. You fought your heart out for me, but the sun's gone down. And don't look for it to rise again. I want you to pretend that I'm a dead man. I want you to pretend... that you're standin' on my grave.
