• Sheriff L.D. Wicker : [Frady just beat up Deputy Red.]  You just come over here and sit down. You're alright, son.

  Joseph Frady : Listen, you wouldn't be offended if I called the police, would you?

  Sheriff L.D. Wicker : No, but you don't have to call very far because Red's a deputy. And if that isn't good enough, I'm the sheriff.

  Joseph Frady : You got some interesting ideas about law enforcement.

  Sheriff L.D. Wicker : I could have stopped the fight. I would have if you'd have been gettin' whipped, but I dearly love seeing ol' Red get stomped.

  Joseph Frady : He's your deputy?

  Sheriff L.D. Wicker : Well, you see he's my sister's boy. Had to do something nice for her, he's so damn mean he can't get along with anybody else. He's dumb. He's a real turkey. You know, you move his plate five inches, that boy's gonna starve to death.

• Joseph Frady : Hey, L.D., what's the news on your friend, uh, Buster?

  Sheriff L.D. Wicker : Well... Actually there just ain't no Buster.
