• Lyle Wheeler : What do you think, Slick?

  Slick Callahan : I vote we head down to Old Mexico just as soon as we can.

  Pearl Baker : Well, that sounds great. I'd love a taco right now.

• Slick Callahan : He knows what's gonna happen, just like I know what's gonna happen. I doesn't really bother me. I'm ready for it. The only thing that bothers me is we're draggin' you into this too.

  Pearl Baker : You ain't draggin' me into nothin'.

  Slick Callahan : Pussywillow, God damn it. I just don't want to see you get hurt, that's all.

  Pearl Baker : Slick, you know all my life everybody's always told me that - that I'm no good, right? And you're the first person who ever told me that I'd ever amount to anything. So, I tell you somethin'. I am not leavin' you. You can go off and do whatever you have to do. But, right now, I just want to do what I want to do.

• Pearl Baker : You're not gonna give up to that fat little booger, are you?

• Bobbie Jo Baker : He seems nice.

  Pearl Baker : One night he comes walkin' up to me and he says, "Hey, Pussywillow." That's what he calls me, you know. He says, "You wanna know somethin'? You're really too good to be doin' this kinda work."

  Bobbie Jo Baker : I think he's right.

  Pearl Baker : So do I. You know what happened? He got me that night.

• Slick Callahan : Before you jump on me, Pussywillow, you gotta remember one thing. And I don't want you ever to forget it. Ever.

  Pearl Baker : What's that?

  Slick Callahan : A hard man is good to find.

• Slick Callahan : Now, it's ready to fire.

  Pearl Baker : It's ready to fire?

  Slick Callahan : Now, you're gonna find, Pussywillow, that the power of speech of one of these things is amazing. You get people to crawl down on their hands and knees and bark like a dog and crow like a rooster.

  [Pearl laughs] 

  Slick Callahan : You'll see what I'm talkin' about.
