Miss Clara, you slam the door in a man's face before he even knocks on it.

Ben:
Put them things down, Miss Clara, 'cause I'm gonna kiss you. I'm gonna show you how simple it is. You please me, and I'll please you.
[Attempts to kiss Clara, but she slaps him across the face]
Ben: [chuckles] Oh, I know what's troublin' you. It's all those boys hollerin' for Eula every night. And Eula with her hair hangin' down and Jody with his shirt off chasin' her. And your old man at 60 and he's callin' on his lady love.
[Bends down to kiss Clara, and she makes no resistance]
Clara: All right, you proved it. I'm human.
Ben: Yes, ma'am. You human, all right.

Ben:
That's a long time to live in one place.
Alan Stewart: You don't believe in living in one place, Mr. Quick?
Ben: Well, my family moved. Not that they wanted to. They was encouraged by the local citizens.

Ben:
Well, that's all right. I'm a quiet-living man, myself.
Eula Varner: Oh, I only know one reason for living quiet; that's if you're too old to live any other way.
Ben: In other words, you two girls take your fun where you can find it.
Clara: Don't jump to conclusions, young man. We're giving you a ride and that's all.
Eula Varner: Where you headed?
Ben: I go as far as you go, M'am.
Eula Varner: Oh, you sound as free as a bird. Doesn't he sound as free as a bird, Clara?
Ben: Well, Clara's wondering what kind of bird. Aren't you Clara?
