Quotations

There are three billboards there, but they haven't been rented since 1986. "I don't think there must be anything slanderous on the billboard? And it can't say 'fuck,' 'pee,' or 'fuck,' right?" "And... 'Asshole.'" Billboard 1: What? What's the matter, Chief Willoughby? Billboard 2: Haven't caught the killer yet? Billboard 3: Rape and murder. "I checked the regulations." "Really? Where did I check it?" "It was in a book." "What book?" I didn't call you an idiot, I just asked if you were an idiot, it's just a question. Cubans will kill them when they see gays. Everyone will be on your side when it comes to Angela. But when it comes to billboards, nobody has your back. How's your great business of abusing niggas going, Dixon? "Why are you never on my side, Robbie?" "I'll be on your side when you're not a bitch." "I'll walk, and I hope I'll get caught on the road. Human rape!" "Really? I want you to be raped on the road too!" The more a case is made public, the more likely it is to be cracked. "Billboards are not going to bring our daughter back to life." "It's better than if you don't 'do' anything but a 19-year-old girl." God no longer exists, the world has become meaningless , do we have nothing to do with each other? Not only do I abuse black people, but white people do it too! There are indeed some cases where you will never find a breakthrough. And then five years went by and people heard a guy bragging about it in some bar or in a cell, and the case was settled in this very stupid way. All it takes to be a police detective is love. With love, the heart can be at peace. When you are calm, you can think. After careful consideration, the case can be resolved. Hate never solves problems. If anger is not vented, more anger will brew. You're just a bitter woman who dared to advertise against the police. All you can do is keep trying.
