- John Witter: [Pinky has brought Ray Henry to meet Mr. Witter] Just what goes on in that stupid head of yours, Pinky Dobson!
- John Witter: [to Pinky Dobson about Buford] You picked the one time his wife was in the car next to him... And you make it so that the Federal Bureau of Investigation, The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation... They're both down here just shakin' away at that tree tryin' to make somethin' fall out!
- John Witter: [to Marganne about killing Buford] You just make sure you set him up for a no miss situation.
- John Witter: [Mr. Whitter is angry at Pinky and Ray Henry for bungling Bufords murder] One stupid blunder after another just brings that son of a bitch that much closer to this house!
- John Witter: [to Marganne] That bungling Pinky Dobson and that moron Ray Henry... The trouble those two have caused me are tryin' a true Christian man's patience.
- John Witter: [Mr. Whitter is upset at Pinky and Ray Henry for not killing Buford] You brought this thing down on my back, and you can get it off my back!... Now do you understand that, or are you too goddamned stupid?
- Marganne Stilson: [Discusiing Pusser] Mr. Whitter, there are different names for different games... I know my game.
- John Witter: I hope so... I sincerely hope so.
- Marganne Stilson: [John Witter and Marganne are discussing Pusser] Sheriff Pusser will go for a drive with me within a week of today, I assure you.
- John Witter: Why are you so sure?
- Marganne Stilson: I know when a man is interested, Mr. Whitter... Wife dead almost a year, eight months in a hospital... He's interested, beleive me, he's interested.
- John Witter: [Mr. Whitter and Marganne are having a drink, and discussing Pusser] Well, you better have your shooters out on the lake every day.
- Marganne Stilson: They work for me, Mr. Whitter, they don't miss... He goes out on that lake, he ain't ever gonna float up from that bottom.
- [Whitter laughs]
- John Witter: [Mr. Whitter and Marganne are having a drink] I'm gonna tell you somethin'... If it all turns out the way you say it is, when it's all over and done, no reason in the world you and I can't be... Better friends.
- Marganne Stilson: You can afford me for this contract, Mr. Whitter... But what I see behind your eyes... You couldn't possibly afford.
