- Caleb Colton: How old are you?
- Jesse: Let's put it this way: I fought for the South.
- Caleb Colton: South?
- Jesse: We lost.
- [chuckles]
- Caleb Colton: What the fuck is goin' on?
- Severen: It ain't what's goin' on, son. It's what's comin' off. Your face. Clean off.
- Mae: The light that's leaving that star right now will take a billion years to get down here. You want to know why you've never met a girl like me before?
- Caleb Colton: Yeah. Why?
- Mae: Because I'll still be here when the light from that star gets down here to earth in a billion years.
- Loy Colton: Caleb, those people back there, they wasn't normal. Normal folks, they don't spit out bullets when you shoot 'em, no sir.
- [Pale, sweating and in obvious withdrawal, Caleb is being shaken down by a policeman]
- Deputy Sheriff: You ain't looking too good, son.
- Caleb Colton: I ain't feeling too good, sir.
- Deputy Sheriff: What're you on?
- Caleb Colton: You wouldn't believe me...
- Mae: Look, I'll take care of him!
- Homer: You can't, Mae. I turned you, I taught you.
- Mae: Well I turned him and I can teach him!
- Severen: [smirking] What's the matter, Homer? You jealous? A little too little to be jealous.
- Homer: You have any idea what it's like to be a big man on the inside and have a small body on the outside?
- Severen: You have ANY idea what it's like to HEAR about it every NIGHT?
- Severen: Hey, Caleb! I hate to be an indian giver, I really do, but you disappointed me. Now you're gonna have to pay. First, you're gonna give me back my spur. Then I'm gonna knock your tonsils out your asshole. What do you think of them apples, huh?
- Motel Manager: You were here once before, wasn't you? Lots of years back?
- Jesse: Yes, I get through here about once every 5O years. Make me a reservation.
- Jesse: Where are we, Diamondback? What road is this?
- Diamondback: You got me.
- Jesse: Isn't that where I had the flat tire? You pulled over.
- Diamondback: And there you stood by the side of that road... and I just knew you were trouble.
- Jesse: And you were right.
- [both chuckling]
- Caleb's Friend: What the hell's eatin' you?
- Caleb Colton: [Chuckles] Your mama.
- Caleb's Friend: You wish.
- Caleb Colton: I wish I may, I wish I might. Wish I was a thousand miles from here tonight.
- Bartender: There are two ways you can leave these here premises.
- Severen: Is that a fact?
- Bartender: That's a fact. On your feet or on your back.
- Severen: That's pretty tough words for a bartender, huh? Gee whiz. If you're not gonna serve me a drink, well... I'll just have to drink his.
- [drinks the patron's shot and then spits it on him]
- Severen: How can you drink that shit?
- Caleb Colton: [Loy has pulled out a gun] Daddy, put that away. Ain't gonna do no good.
- Loy Colton: What do you mean, it ain't gonna do no good?
- Jesse: I'd listen to your son.
- Loy Colton: I'd stop right there if I was you, mister.
- Jesse: Not likely.
- [Loy shoots him in the chest, Jesse coughs out the bullet and puts it in Loy's shirt pocket]
- Jesse: For you.
- Mae: There's somethin' I want to show you.
- [Caleb and Mae get off the truck]
- Caleb Colton: There's somethin' you want to show me?
- Mae: Yeah. The night.
- Caleb Colton: What about it?
- Mae: It's dark.
- Caleb Colton: I noticed.
- Mae: It's so bright, it'll blind you.
- Caleb Colton: I can't see.
- Mae: Well, listen. Do you hear it?
- Caleb Colton: I'm listenin'. I don't hear nothin'.
- Mae: Listen hard. Do you hear it?
- Caleb Colton: Hear what?
- Mae: The night, it's deafening.
- Caleb Colton: You didn't get me a beer, did you?
- Caleb's Friend: You're gonna have to support your own bad habits.
- Caleb Colton: [Caleb has been shot] Am I alive?
- [Jesse and Severen laugh]
- Severen: Hey. You look like 40 miles of rough road!
- Severen: [Caleb has just met his father] 'Round and 'round and 'round she goes. Where she stops, nobody knows.
- [last lines]
- Mae: Caleb, what's happening?
- Caleb Colton: I brought you home.
- Mae: I'm afraid.
- Caleb Colton: Don't be. It's just the sun.
- Waitress: [to Jesse] Don't you want the beer?
- Diamondback: No honey, the drink's on me.
- [cuts her throat]
- Jesse: He makes a kill tonight! I don't care how you do it. You do it or you're done.
- Diamondback: And done means dead without guile. It means you'd be real uncomfortable for a looong, looong time.
- Severen: That's your mama talkin', boy.
- Patron in Bar: Hey. Hey! You spilled my drink.
- Severen: Well, why don't you lick it up off the bar, meatball?
