Ben: Well, I'll be damned.
Will Varner: More than probable, you will be. But first, you're going to church and get married, yeah, to my daughter.

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?

Will Varner: I was young myself once. I used to hide in the greenery and hoot and bellow.
Clara: I'll bet you did. I'll bet you stayed longest and yelled loudest.
Will Varner: Your mama listened.
