- Nadya Light: Where I come from, when the government says someone's guilty, it's how you know they're innocent.
- Tom Shaw: Mr Jewell, you said before that in your comings and goings back and forth from the stage to the tower that you couldn't get, uh, an exact fix on the time. Is that correct?
- Richard Jewell: Yes, but when you have the runs, which I did, excuse me, you're not thinking about what time it is. You're just trying to crab-walk to a bathroom, you know?
- Richard Jewell: You're the only one who treated me like a human being! And now you're yelling at me, telling me I have to be somebody that I'm not! I'm not that guy, you're that guy!
- Bobi Jewell: Why do you keep defending them?
- Richard Jewell: I'm not defending, just explaning.
- Bobi Jewell: Well, stop it!
- Richard Jewell: [to Bryant] I did not plant that bomb in Centennial Park, and I made the mistake of assuming you knew that.
- Watson Bryant: [sees the authorities approaching] You got any guns in the house?
- Richard Jewell: Yeah, we're in Georgia.
- Watson Bryant: You know, I actually feel sorry for you guys: when the real bomber does it again, and the country asks, 'where was the FBI?' you're gonna say, 'we were busy getting hair samples from Richard Jewel.'
- Watson Bryant: You don't talk. I talk. Say it.
- Richard Jewell: I don't talk. But I want those guys to know that I'm law enforcement too, just like them.
- Watson Bryant: See right there, that's talking. That's what we don't want, OK?
- Bobi Jewell: Richard is not the Olympic Park bomber. Richard is not a murderer, he saved people's lives. Please hear me, Mr. President and help me. You have the power to end this nightmare. My son is a hero. I think the FBI knows that by now. If they do not intend to charge my son, please tell us; please tell the world. Mr. President
- [starts sobbing]
- Bobi Jewell: please clear my son's name.
- Watson Bryant: Richard, if you go for a cookie right now, I'm gonna chop off your hands and shove em up your ass! Try eating a cookie then, fucker!
- [after finding out his house has been bugged]
- Richard Jewell: Oh my lord. How can they do that?
- Watson Bryant: It's easy. Cause you don't matter. That's how come.
