That was the end of Grogan... the man who killed my father, raped and murdered my sister, burned my ranch, shot my dog, and stole my Bible!

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
A melodramatic, triumphant announcement that an enemy is finished, followed by a list of his crimes: killing the speaker's father, raping and murdering a sister, burning the ranch, shooting a dog and stealing a Bible. The escalating grievances end on an almost comic small theft.
