- Paula Considine: No?
- Mark Sitko: No! What you need is a...
- Mark Sitko: [clicking his lips indicating big city style] ... city feller, sort of show you up.
- Paula Considine: [after laughing] Where are you from originally, Mark?
- Mark Sitko: I was afraid you were going to ask that. Ashfork, Kansas. Yes, it's mostly one off.
- Paula Considine: And how big is Ashfork?
- Mark Sitko: Three ash trees, one fork.
- [Paula laughs]
- Mark Sitko: Where are you from?
- Paula Considine: Beaver Brook, Pennsylvania.
- Mark Sitko: Sounds like a nice place: lots of brooks, beavers, things like that.
- Mark Sitko: [after strong arming Kerric and pulling a gun from his pocket] All right, now. You just couldn't sleep, so you decided to take your gun out for a walk.
- Kerric: [about the gun] I'll take that back.
- Mark Sitko: You want a bet.
- Mark Sitko: [pointing to Paula] What's the idea skulking around after this young lady?
- Kerric: I couldn't sleep, so I just decided to take my gun out for a walk.
