for the film:



* TakingYouWithMe: Gentle and kindly Toomer is shot by Red, a racist redneck who'd been harassing him for his entire life. Toomer, knowing he's dying, gets payback for a lifetime of harassment by stumbling to his front door and opening it just before passing out from blood loss. He wasn't trying to get help, he ''opened the door to release his pack of extremely vicious dogs''. Said dogs proceed to rip Red to pieces. Red's face, when he sees Toomer stumbling to the door and knows exactly what's about to happen, is nothing but pure OhCrap. He knows he's a dead man.
