• Old Lady Hackmore : [to Kenny]  Sometimes you've got to do what YOU know is right, no matter what anybody tells you.

• Old Lady Hackmore : You are the 7th son of the 7th son, you are the baby, you are the boy, it is YOUR legacy. You are the great redneck hope!

• Old Lady Hackmore : Listen to the last two lines of the troll's poem. There is one who can stop us if he will dare, With the heart of a child and a mother's care. So we need a heart,

  [turns to Kenny and Elizabeth] 

  Old Lady Hackmore : a child's heart!

  [laughs] 

• Old Lady Hackmore : [to Ernest]  They will have to load you and the rest of this backward town onto a meat wagon with a pitch fork!

• [Ernest is about to leave Old Lady Hackmore's house when she shows up screaming at him] 

  Old Lady Hackmore : Get off of my property! What are you doing here?

  Ernest P. Worrell : Ma'am, I'm just here to pick up all this garbage.

  Old Lady Hackmore : Got no garbage here, only the expressions of the soul.

  Ernest P. Worrell : Uh, ma'am, I'm an official representative of the Briarville city government, and, incidentally, a close personal friend of Mayor Murdock's.

  Old Lady Hackmore : Aren't you that Worrell kid?

  Ernest P. Worrell : Yes, ma'am.

  Old Lady Hackmore : Oh... you will bring down the curse on us all! Woe to you, oh, ye seed of Worrell. Get out of here and don't come back!

  Ernest P. Worrell : I wish you'd reconsider. Recycling is a... a very important part of good citizenship.

  Old Lady Hackmore : Yeah. And you'll be a dead citizen. When the poisons of the evil courses through the portals and channels of your body, you will lie a quivering, toxic mass of screaming flesh! They will have to load you and the rest of this backward town on a meat wagon with a pitchfork!

  Ernest P. Worrell : So in other words, it might be better if I came back another day.

  [Hackmore screams again and uses a flame thrower at Ernest] 

• [Hackmore explains to Ernest that he is the only one capable of stopping Trantor's plan]

  Old Lady Hackmore : You are the direct descendant of the Reverend Phineas Worrell! It's your legacy!

  Ernest P. Worrell : Yeah, but I'm me, and... and he's he, and we're talking real danger here... "stand and deliver," "firing line," "moment of truth," "end of the line," eighth-level "Mario Brothers. "

  Old Lady Hackmore : You are the only troll fighter we've got. You're the seventh son of the seventh son. You're the baby. You're the boy. You are the great redneck hope.

  [Ernest becomes confident and strikes a heroic pose] 

  Ernest P. Worrell : The great redneck hope!

  [a choir sings "Hallelujah!" once; then cuts to Ernest running down the street with Rimshot] 

  Ernest P. Worrell : [through megaphone]  Troll alert! This is not a drill! An actual troll has been sighted in the Briarville area! Please remain calm! Do not... I repeat... do not panic! Children should remain indoors until further notice...
