• The Sheriff : [driving a beaten-up Rafe to the station]  I'm gonna tell you your rights. You have the right to remain silent.

  Rafe Stoker : I don't wanna remain silent! I wanna know what the hell I'm doing in the back of a police car with handcuffs on me!

  The Sheriff : You're going to jail. What do you think you're doing?

  Rafe Stoker : What for?

  The Sheriff : Who were those guys you're fighting with back there?

  Rafe Stoker : Look, I don't know who they were! I know they were out of their goddamn minds!

  The Sheriff : What'd they want with you?

  Rafe Stoker : Hey, look, how am I gonna report it to you? You wanted to chase me out of town already once, today!

  The Sheriff : When are you people gonna get down to some reality? That's a real gun I saw back there! These people aren't playing around with you! What the hell you think you're doing, you want to make one of these cheap Hollywood movies? Now, we had this damn town cleaned up for those bikers coming to you, when that damn movie crew came in here. Now, they're back.

  Rafe Stoker : You know, this is really ridiculous. I don't believe it. Being here with you is like playing a bad scene in a b-movie with a dumb honky sheriff.

  The Sheriff : Well, you keep it up, mouth. I'll show you a honky cop.

  Rafe Stoker : You got a cigarette?

  The Sheriff : I don't smoke.

  Rafe Stoker : I figured you would. Look, I know this is hard for you to understand, but all I wanted to do was make a movie. I didn't want to cause you any problems, I didn't want to cause me any pain. But I gotta finish this movie. Will you let me?

  The Sheriff : You gotta finish your movie?

  Rafe Stoker : Yeah.

  The Sheriff : Well, I'll tell you what, I'm gonna let you finish your movie, but I'm not doing you any favors, 'cause this dumb honky cop wants a piece of their ass!

  Rafe Stoker : Thank you. Can I ask you something?

  The Sheriff : You haven't shut your mouth yet, have you?

  Rafe Stoker : What I'd like to know is that who do you hate most, me, the bikers, or yourself?

  The Sheriff : You're just gonna have to wait to find out, aren't you?
