- Bobby Patrick: [Newton has arrested Tyler, and has him emptying his pockets] So, what's your name, high roller?
- Tyler Watts: My name's Tyler Watts,
- [slams badge onto counter]
- Tyler Watts: , but you can call me... CHIEF!
- Tyler Watts: [Tyler comes up behind Billy Lee, who is petting his horse] Don't worry about old Dapple, Billy... I'll take good care of him, and that's a promise from me to you.
- Billy Lee: [Looks startled, and begins to cry, realizing who it really is] See that he gets a carrot every day?... He likes carrots.
- Tyler Watts: I will, even if I have to steal one.
- Billy Lee: [Turns around, in tears] Joshua?
- [they embrace each other]
- Tyler Watts: [Sheriff Skeeter wants to remove a prisoner, and Tyler refuses] Sheriff Willis, You're welcome here anytime... But whenever you want to remove a prisoner from my jail, you'd better show me some paperwork... That's the way things are done in MY jurisdiction!
- [Sheriff Skeeter storms off]
- Tyler Watts: [Tyler is addressing his men first day on the job] Just pretend you're back in the service, and I'm your commanding officer. And if that doesn't work, just pretend I'm... GOD!
- Tyler Watts: [to his wife, Liz] If this thing is as big as I think it is, they won't need an election... they'll carry Billy to the governor's mansion on their shoulders!
- Tyler Watts: [Addressing his men for the first time] I see from your records that most of you have prior military experience... That's good since none of you know the first damn thing about police procedure!
- Tyler Watts: [to John Howell after being released from Skeeter's custody] Before, I was determined... Now, I'm mad!... No matter what happens in the election on Tuesday... Wednesday, I'm gonna make my move!
- Tyler Watts: [Skeeter is removing Tyler from his cell] Where are you taking me?
- Skeeter Willis: I'm not taking you anywhere... You are in the process of escaping.
- Tyler Watts: [as he is addressing his men on the first day] If anyone calls in sick, he had better be in the hospital.
