• Maggot : It's judgment day, sinners! Come out, come out wherever you are!

• Maggot : They're not gonna hang me, Major. I never raped that evil slut! Or, any other - creature. The Lord gave me that woman and told me to chastise her.

  Major John Reisman : Then he told you to beat her to death, huh?

  Maggot : I only do what I'm called on to do. I was in a state of grace. And that - woman - she tried to soil my spirit.

• Maggot : "Vengeance is mine. I will repay, sayeth the Lord." Paul to the Romans, Chapter 12.

  Major John Reisman : Exactly. Now, isn't that supposed to mean that we leave punishment of the transgressors to his capable hands?

  Maggot : That's right, Major! That's exactly what it means. But it doesn't restrict him to the kind of tools he would use, now does it? And like I told you, Major, I only do what I'm called on to do.

• Maggot : It's true that I've been blessed with an insight into women that others don't have. And sometimes - well, sometimes I'm called upon to use it in our beloved Master's will.

• Tassos Bravos : [listening to the radio]  Hey, Wladislaw, you understand German. Who's that dame singing about?

  Maggot : Keep that cheap, wailing slut quiet!

• Capt. Stuart Kinder : Why do you hate Major Reisman so much?

  Maggot : There are 11 evil men out there and they must be punished for their wickedness. And this Major Reisman, he just snatched them up from the brink of the pit, and he cheated the Master of his vengeance.

• Maggot : Major Reisman! I saw those filthy strumpets! You're turning this place into a bottomless pit of vice! Comes Judgment Day! And Judgment Day is comin'! Those men, Major, they'll suffer eternal damnation because of you, Major!
