- Matty: [to Ned] You aren't too smart, are you? I like that in a man.
- Ned: What else do you like? Lazy? Ugly? Horny? I got 'em all.
- Matty: You don't look lazy.
- Ned: [mistaking her for Matty] Hey lady, ya wanna fuck?
- Mary Ann: [turns around] Gee, I don't know. Maybe. This sure is a friendly town.
- Ned: I'm sorry.
- Mary Ann: You are? You mean the offers no good?
- Ned: Maybe you shouldn't dress like that.
- Matty: This is a blouse and a skirt. I don't know what you're talking about.
- Ned: You shouldn't wear that body.
- Ned: Can I buy you a drink?
- Matty: I told you. I've got a husband.
- Ned: I'll buy him one too.
- Matty: He's out of town.
- Ned: My favorite kind. We'll drink to him.
- Matty: Only comes up on weekends.
- Ned: I'm liking him better all the time.
- Ned: I need someone to take care of me, someone to rub my tired muscles, smooth out my sheets.
- Matty: Get married.
- Ned: I just need it for tonight.
- Matty: My temperature runs a couple of degrees high, around a hundred. I don't mind. It's the engine or something.
- Ned: Maybe you need a tune up.
- Matty: Don't tell me. You have just the right tool.
- Matty: [spills a cherry slush on her blouse] Would you get me a paper towel or something? Dip it in some cold water.
- Ned: Right away. I'll even wipe if off for you.
- Matty: You don't want to lick it?
- Ned: You can stand here with me if you want but you'll have to agree not to talk about the heat.
- Matty: I'm a married woman.
- Ned: Meaning what?
- Matty: Meaning I'm not looking for company.
- Ned: Then you should have said I'm a happily married woman.
- Matty: That's my business.
- Ned: Sometimes the shit comes down so heavy I feel like I should wear a hat.
- Ned: How's the cop business, Oscar?
- Oscar: Real good. Always starts hopping in weather like this. When it gets this hot, people try to kill each other.
- Matty: What are you doing in Pinehaven?
- Ned: I'm no yokel, I was all the way to Miami once.
- Peter: Little Heather goes out on the porch, and there's this dude with her Aunt, see? And the guy is turned around with his pants or shorts or whatever dropped, so he's mooning the little girl, right. And he and your friend are going at something that Heather can't quite figure out - which sounds suspiciously, to me, like oral-genital contact - which I'm proud to say is no longer illegal in this state. And the guy turns around to Heather - you follow me so far? Guess what he looks like?
- Ned: I don't. know.
- Peter: Well, he looks about seven or eight inches long, shiny, and very, very bald.
- [laughs]
- Peter: Poor little Heather. She'd never seen one angry before. It made quite an impression on her. Yessiree. It's the only thing she can remember about the guy.
- Ned: You better take me up on this quick. In about 45 minutes, I'm going to give up and go away.
- Ned: I lead a lonely life.
- Oscar: Right. And it's gonna snow later today,
- Edmund Walker: The guy came to us with a business proposition. We're always looking for opportunities, if the conditions are right. We're willing to take an occasional risk, if the downside isn't too steep. But this guy hadn't done his homework, he didn't know the bottom line. That's how I knew he was full of shit. You've got to know the bottom line. That's all that really counts. He didn't have the goods, this guy. He was like a lot of guys you run into - they want to get rich, they want to do it quick, they want to be there with one score. But they're not willing to do what's necessary. Do you know what I mean?
- Ned: I'm not sure. You mean, do the groundwork? Earn it?
- Edmund Walker: No. No, I mean do what's necessary. Whatever's necessary.
- Ned: Yeah. I know that kind of guy. I hate that. It makes me sick.
- Edmund Walker: Me too.
- Ned: I'm a lot like that.
- Peter: Ned, someday your dick is gonna lead you into a very big hassle. That lady may have just killed her husband.
- Ned: She's not going to inherit anything by killing me. Besides, maybe she'll try to fuck me death.
- Ned: Don't you understand? That was her special gift. She was relentless. Matty was the kind of person who could do what was necessary. Whatever was necessary.
- Ned: I like this place; it's got a nice feel.
- Matty: You were on top.
- Ned: So it could use a better mattress. See to it, will you?
- Matty: Yes, sir.
- Peter: Assistant County Prosecutor is not the end of the line for me.
- Ned: No, no. Someday, Deputy County Prosecutor.
- Ned: You look terrible. Don't you sleep?
- Peter: I had a dream last night that was so boring it woke me up. I was afraid to go back to sleep.
