$Memorable Quote: "Oh, yeah, that\'s right. That\'s what\'s it\'s all about, all right. But talkin\' about it and bein\' it, that\'s two different things. I mean, it\'s real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don\'t ever tell anybody that they\'re not free, \'cause then they\'re gonna get real busy killin\' and maimin\' to prove to you that they are.
