- TJ: Goodnight, Leonard!
- Leonard Pine: Goodnight, TJ.
- TJ: Goodnight, white man!
- Hap Collins: [sighing] Goodnight, TJ.
- Meemaw: Shoot, I don't believe it for a minute. I don't care if they found babies in his toilet. Chester didn't murder and saw up no children.
- Hap Collins: You never smelled anything funny?
- Leonard Pine: It's an old man's house, Hap. Everything smells funny.
- Florida Grange: They're going to pin this on Chester and drop it. All you gotta do is keep out of trouble and don't piss on anyone's head. Can you do that?
- Detective Marvin Hanson: So what happened between you and Chester anyway?
- Leonard Pine: I grew up. He found out about my nature and threw me out.
- Detective Marvin Hanson: Now you people, you like little boy too, don't you?
- Leonard Pine: You people? I thought you was my people. I like little boys as much as you like little girls, *brother*.
- Charlie Blank: Says here, Leonard was a war hero.
- Hap Collins: Uh hmm.
- Charlie Blank: I was in 'Nam myself. What about you?
- Hap Collins: Contentious objector.
- Charlie Blank: You did two years for it. Was it worth it?
- Hap Collins: I wasn't in 'Nam. You tell me.
- Charlie Blank: Probably was.
- Meemaw: He talked about you a lot, especially near the end.
- Leonard Pine: I bet there was a whole lotta cursing involved.
