Quotes
Police Captain: Gentlemen, the city of Fort Lauderdale is once again under fire from the north. We've survived it before and I reckon we're gonna survive it again. To you newly installed officers on the force, I'd to give you a little rundown on what to expect. Expect anything. Anything and everything cause that's what you're gonna get. Now, Fort Lauderdale is not the only city to be invaded at this time. In Palm Springs and in Newport, from the beaches of the Mid Atlantic to the snows of Colorado, the students of America are gathering to celebrate the rites of spring. And, if you pardon a pun, you've got that right. They're our future voters, their citizens of our country, and they're our responsibility. But how the hell to handle them, that's a different manner.

TV Thompson: Nice kids, aren't they?

Tuggle Carpenter: Girls like me weren't built to be educated. We were made to have children. That's my ambition: to be a walking, talking baby factory. Legal, of course. And with union labor.

Q
Was Melanie raped?
A
Yes. Early in the movie, it's suggested that Melanie and Dill had consensual sex when they return to the motel, and Melanie asks him, 'Dill, you'd never say anything? Tell anyone?' When Dill has to leave town for a few days, Melanie starts going out with Franklin (Rory Harrity). Again, it's only suggested in her conversation with Merritt, the night after Melanie comes home drunk, that she also had sex with Franklin. Only suggestions. Nothing overt. However, when Dill returns and corners Melanie in the room at the Leland Motel where she was supposed to be meeting Franklin, it's obvious from her behavior, her open dress, and her messed hair that Dill forced himself upon her against her wishes.
