Phil Chambers: Sheriff Rayburn

Quotes 

• Jemal David : A few years ago, that man was master of one of the biggest plantations in Virginia. He owned over a hundred slaves. Crystal... horses... white linen on the table every meal.

  Sheriff Rayburn : Why, you came down just as long a road. Six years ago, you was a slave, couldn't read, couldn't write. You told me once you was a stake at a poker game - more'n once.

  Jemal David : Guess we both came a long road - up or down.

• Sheriff Rayburn : Funny how you two hooked up and three months later you're still ridin' with him. Ever ask yourself why?

  Jemal David : Yeah.

  Sheriff Rayburn : Why?

  Jemal David : No reason. No reason a'tall... except...

  Sheriff Rayburn : What? You work good together?

  Jemal David : Well, if you need a reason, that's as good as any.
