Quotes5

  • Jerry: She lives here all alone, huh?
  • Sheriff Todd Peterson: That's what hermits do, Lowell. They live alone and they die alone.
  • [Jerry found the Bible with the note from Nell's mom for the stranger to look for her Nell]
  • Jerry: What kind of deal is this? The first who finds her is supposed to look after her?
  • Sheriff Todd Peterson: [matter of factly] That means you, Jerry.
  • Sheriff Todd Peterson: Oh sure. Just what I need.
  • Sheriff Todd Peterson: [bemused reading from the note] 'The Lord led you here.' There you have it.
  • Jerry: *You* led me here.
  • Sheriff Todd Peterson: You want the Lord to take care of her now?
  • Jerry: The last time I saw the Lord was in church of my wedding and look how *that* turned out.
  • Sheriff Todd Peterson: I guess she's what you'd call a hermit. She talked kinda funny, too. She was kinda like: 'Durr murr muh...'.
  • Jerry: Only one side of her face was working. You try talking out of one side of your face.
  • Jerry: Let's take this one step at a time. Stay here. I'm gonna go back inside.
  • Sheriff Todd Peterson: Jerry, I can't let you go back in there. We don't even know what that thing is.
  • Jerry: It's a human being and she's frightened.
  • Sheriff Todd Peterson: Well, what are you gonna do?
  • Jerry: Talk to her... if I can.
  • Sheriff Todd Peterson: Well, she's definitely overage. So I guess we need to find her an adult protective service.
  • Jerry: She doesn't need a social worker. She needs a padded cell. That is one seriously disturbed lady.
  • Sheriff Todd Peterson: Well, I'm afraid that's gonna be your territory, Jerry.
  • Jerry: Thanks.
  • Sheriff Todd Peterson: [reciting the letter] The Lord led you here, stranger.
