Phoebe Titus: Are you asking me to marry you?
Peter Muncie: Around about. Is there still something you don't like about me?

Grant Oury: That's one way of saying it, Phoebe.
Judge Bogardus: Like Oury says, it's better to leave what we built here than get our bones picked clean by buzzards.
Phoebe Titus: What did you ever build?

Phoebe Titus: Now sometime before morning, I'm going to let off both barrels of this shotgun right at you. I don't know just what time it'll happen... whenever my finger gets to itching too much. But you can depend on it. You're gonna have a double hole blown clear through you. Maybe ten minutes, maybe two hours. All you have to do is sit comfortable until I think it's the right time.
