- Sister E. Gutshall: [to Hawk's made-up face] Indian chief my foot! You look like a shitty little queer!
- Roonie Gill: My name is Roonie Gill. I was just changing buses on my way to Nashville. Actually, I didn't care much where I was going. It just felt good to be on my own for the first time. I never heard of the Feather family or the Gutshalls before that. I found out later that Ludie Gutshall had planted a postcard in the Feather mailbox to get them away from the still. He signed it Lolly-Madonna - and that's who they thought I was. By the time I knew what was happening, there wasn't much I could do about it anyway.
- Ludie Gutshall: [to Pap Gutshall] You know what my basic scruple is? Not to get my ass shot off for your basic principles.
