Maney Gault : [Frank and Maney are sitting at a table in a coffee shop in Coffeyville, Kansas on the lookout for Bonnie and Clyde. Gault is eating a slice of cake and Frank's drinking a cup of coffee]
[chuckles]
Maney Gault : How many bullets you got in you?
Frank Hamer : Hell I don't know... Sixteen I think.
Maney Gault : [between spoonfuls] You know...
[clears his throat]
Maney Gault : Man can't PASS bullets through him like he can kidney stones?... might be GOOD to have a doctor look at you sometime.
Frank Hamer : Might be good to have a doctor look at YOU sometime.
Maney Gault : I ain't got no bullets in me.
Frank Hamer : Because I was COVERING you.
[Maney puts another spoonful of cake in his mouth, nods his head in agreement and smiles at Frank]

Frank Hamer : How'd she fall in with an outlaw like Barrow?
Deputy Ted Hinton : Bored to tears. Along come Clyde in a fine car, by the time she found out the car was stolen, she was already in love.

Maney Gault : You came all the way up to the house, what changed your mind?
Frank Hamer : I don't know, maybe seeing you move like you're 85.

Frank Hamer : I think I'll look up Leadbetter.
Maney Gault : He's dead.

Frank Hamer : You ever think maybe there was something in Clyde... that made him steal that chicken in the first place?
Henry Barrow : Maybe he was hungry. Maybe we were all hungry.

Henry Barrow : [Describing his son, Clyde Barrow, as a child and youngster] You know, he wasn't always a bad boy. I had high hopes.
Frank Hamer : People don't always know who they are... 'til it's too late.
Henry Barrow : Oh, you mean one turn on the trail, huh? That what you mean? He stole a chicken... and the law took him for bad seed. And from *that day* forward he was dogged by the law.
Frank Hamer : Dogged him?
Henry Barrow : Yes, sir.
Frank Hamer : Dogged him or watched him?

Frank Hamer : [to an undercover informant] Son, if you're tellin' the truth, you'll finish out your term in a nice federal pen, but if you do wrong by me you'll be on the farm breaking rocks and gettin' your teeth stove in.

Deputy Ted Hinton : Billie Mae's fixed to set Bonnie's hair.
Frank Hamer : Where? When?
Deputy Ted Hinton : Tomorrow dinner time. Might look like two girls. Sometimes Clyde wears a lady's wig. He done got you all chasing your own tails, don't he?
