- Sheriff: [making love to his girl in an empty jail cell] How do you like the accomodations?
- The Sheriff's Girl: Just fine, honey!
- Mick: It was the worms.
- Sheriff: Worms?
- Geri Sanders: They bite!
- [Geri's outburst surprises everyone in the Italian restaurant]
- Sheriff: [after Mick discovers Roger's father's body is not here to show the sheriff] Now, listen, fella. I don't know what you're up to, but you sure as hell ain't gonna pull this bull in Fly Creek. I want you the hell outta this town.
- Geri Sanders: But it was right here, Mr. Reston. We both saw it.
- Sheriff: Now, Geri, that's enough. I'd expect this bull from your sister, but not you. Your daddy was real proud of you. If he were alive and saw you now, he'd tan your fanny.
- Mick: She didn't do anything.
- Sheriff: Well, I'm gonna let this go 'cause it's too hot and I'm too busy to book this little city weasel. I've got goddamn time to put back together again.
- [turns to Mick]
- Sheriff: But if I see you even one more time, you won't even be able to call the city lawyer... 'cause all the phones are dead.
