Smiley:
Fuck you Perry.

Perry:
That's right Smiley, "fuck you" covers just about everything!

Patti Jean:
Man, I hate it when they get drunk. You can't seem to shake 'em. Men just can't seem to get along without their bourbon along with what else what. You're April, right? Yeah, I thought so. Perry told me all about you when we first met, even though that was this afternoon. I'm Patti Jean. Hey, you got a cigarette on you? I left mine in my purse back there at the carnival.

April:
I don't smoke.

Patti Jean:
Damn! I wish I had your will power. I tried to quit smoking once but I thought, "what the fuck? I'm just gonna die sooner or later anyway." Speaking of dying, I used to know this woman who worked as a flight attendant operating out of Savannah and she told me that when people die on airplanes from heart attacks, motion sickness or whatever, you know where they put 'em until the plane lands? They lock 'em in the fucking bathroom! No shit! I mean it, what is a more embarrassing way to die? Ending your life on a toilet seat, 35,000 feet in the air. That's pretty something.

Patti Jean:
What color's your house?

April:
White.

Patti Jean:
Is your bedroom white too?

April:
No. It's more of a beige color.

Patti Jean:
My place down in Texas is wood-panel. Never lived in anything but that. Except when I lived in Vegas. I was married to my second husband, he was this guy in the Air Force. They set us up at Indian Springs with the full decor they give those officers. That was the most fancy place I've ever lived in. A pre-fab, with a balcony.

Perry:
This girl's got a secret. Huh? You got any secrets? I don't have any secrets. I don't have anything. All I got is a bike, a truck, and post office box in Clearwater, Florida.

Patti Jean:
I'm so envious of your fuckin' tits. Now I know why men like women.

April:
I don't even know you, yet you just come inside my house, uninvited, and take my life away!

Perry:
Maybe you don't know it, but you did invite me!

April:
Oh, go to hell!

Perry:
Oh, sweetheart!

April:
Oh, fuck you!

Perry:
Princess!

April:
Cocksucker!

Perry:
Sugar!

April:
Motherfucker!

Perry:
Sweetpea!

April:
Bastard!

Perry:
Be careful what you say people around here might think we love each other.

April:
You can rot in hell for all I care.

Perry:
You're sexy when you're angry.

April:
You bastard!

Perry:
You already said that!

Sheriff Earl Hawkins:
Well there they be, son. Jonah and Jonah, Jr. They're so old they can't remember who's pappy and who's the son. They're weird and full of superstition. Burying a dead animal on their land can cause the cows to give bloody milk... or bring on a swarm of locusts.

Samantha Delongpre:
Get off my sister!

Belle Delongpre:
The Delongpre family can claim three governors, two United States senators, three electives of the House of Representatives, a Supreme Court justice, and an ambassador to Chile. And at our table we've had the likes of General Patton, Presidents Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter, Lyndon Johnson, the actress Tallulah Bankhead, and Truman Capote... and that film star Grace Kelly before she married her prince... and Betty Ford after her rehabilitation.
