- Ben Crooge: Why aren't you leaving with the rest of them, taking that son of yours home?
- Charlie Ratchet: I'm here to help.
- Ben Crooge: We don't need you. The mayor put calls in. Cavalry should be here any minute.
- Charlie Ratchet: Ben, I'm not workin' for you right now. I'm here to help the people of this town - somthin' YOU lost sight of a long time ago.
- Ben Crooge: What choice do we have?
- Charlie Ratchet: Well, no good choices. I'm just trying to find the least crappy one.
- Ben Crooge: Well, I was hoping for a white Christmas.
- Alex Novak: Be careful what you wish for.
- Ben Crooge: Yeah, no kidding.
