- Howard: Your Honor, I plead nolo contendere.
- Judge J.A. Hooker: That's the same as guilty. That will be a one hundred dollar fine or 10 days in the county jail.
- Sheriff Roy Childress: [Sheriff Roy pulls up to Tom's car to see him and Sissy making out in the backseat] Sissy Berry! You've got to know you're out here in the middle of the night in the back of this car?
- [Tom and Sissy sit there speechless]
- Sheriff Roy Childress: Huh? I asked you a question.
- Sissy: We weren't doing nothing, Sheriff Roy, I swear...
- Sheriff Roy Childress: All right, you two, come on out.
- [Tom and Sissy quickly exit the car]
- Sheriff Roy Childress: You aware of the fact that Sissy Berry is underage, huh?
- Tom: Yes, sir.
- Sheriff Roy Childress: Contributing to delinquency of a minor happens to be one of our more serious offenses. Well?
- Tom: Well, Sheriff Roy, I, uh...
- Sheriff Roy Childress: Let me see your driver's license.
- [Tom quickly takes it out of his wallet and hands it to Roy]
- Sheriff Roy Childress: I watched you kids grow up. You know I don't hold for this kind of thing. I'll let you off easy this one time. You hear me, Tom? You come to me a week from Friday and you can have this back. Until then, your driving privileges are suspended.
- Tom: Yes, sir.
- Sheriff Roy Childress: [turns to Sissy] Sissy Berry, I ought to put you over my knee and give you a whipping. I'll let your daddy handle that, next time I catch you in the back of a car like this, because I'm gonna haul you straight into Juvenile Court and he'll hear about it. Understand?
- Sissy: [nervously] Yes, sir.
- Sheriff Roy Childress: [noticing lipstick smudges on her face] Fix your face up.
