Gator [ McKlusky from White Lightning] was a criminal and a felon, but he had a good heart - he's probably a cousin to Bo. Bo was not a felon and definitely never wanted to hurt anybody - the final scene confirms that. He confesses to Buford T. Justice that he is right behind him. Gator McKlusky would not have done that.

Burt Reynolds

Burt Reynolds
If I want to be up for an Academy Award, I'm either going to have to play a tour de force of some kind or have a tracheotomy just before the nominations.
Burt Reynolds
Money doesn't buy happiness. It buys great hookers - but not happiness.
Burt Reynolds
The moment you grab someone by the lapels, you're lost.
Burt Reynolds
My movies were the kind they show in prisons and airplanes, because nobody can leave.
Burt Reynolds
I can tell a young person where the mines are, but he's probably going to step on them anyway.
