Question on a snippet of dialogue

Hello,

Would someone be kind enough to varify a line of Danny Glover's (Mal) dialogue in this film? This is the part when he's talking to Ezra, and Ezra is relating to Mal how there's no justice and that he's treated little better than his cattle.

Does the line go, "That ain't right and I've had enough of what ain't right?"

or: "That ain't right. I've had enough of what ain't right?"

..and is it "I" or "I've?" I've seen both used.

Sorry for asking...but I'm one of those horrible anal-retentive type for whom misquoting movie dialogue is tantamount to breaking all ten commandments.

The only trouble with looking up dialogue online is that you'll find five slightly different versions of the same thing.

Does anyone have a DVD they could verify this with?

I just watched the movie last night (I'm a lifelong fan of it)

I'm fairly positive the line is "That ain't right. I had enough of what ain't right."

~Do that which makes you come alive!

From the screenplay online:

EZRA
Whose law? The law here runs a man
down -- just like these cattle.

Mal thinks about that and grows very angry. Finally --

MAL
That ain't right and I've had enough
of what ain't right.

I know how you feel. I get that anal I can't get the dialogue thing also. Bugs me out of my brain.
