- Matt Dillon: That's right.
- Joe: And you want me to give him a job here?
- Matt Dillon: That's right.
- Joe: Well, you're clean out of your mind, Marshall. Why you should have run him out of town, throwed him into jail.
- Matt Dillon: Now, just wait a minute, Joe. This man's not really a crook, he's just had a few bad breaks along the line. Why don't you give him a chance?
- Joe: How do I know he can cook?
- Matt Dillon: Well, he says he can, why don't you give him a chance? What do you got to lose?
- Joe: Hmph, only my restaurant, maybe. If he takes a notion to sell it while my back is turned.
- Chester: Well, I don't think you got a thing to worry about, Joe. I don't think nobody'd buy it once they see your cockroaches.
- Joe: I've got no more cockroaches here than anybody else in Dodge.
- Chester: Well, they're bigger.
- Joe: That's 'cause the food here's better.
