• Bill Cox : [lawnmower won't start]  Karl, see if you can figure out what's wrong with this. It won't crank up and everything seems to be put together right.

  Karl : It ain't got no gas in it.

• Bill Cox : [about Karl]  The son-of-a-bitch's a regular Eli Whitney on a lawn mower and *loves* French fries. 'Son-of-a-bitch can eat four larges and not even belch.

• Bill Cox : Hey, Scooter, did I tell you the one about the two ol' boys pissing off a bridge?

  Scooter : I don't believe you did.

  Bill Cox : Well, there were these two ol' boys and they hung their peckers off a bridge to piss. One ol' boy from California, the other from Arkansas. The ol' boy from California says, "Boy, this water's cold", and the ol' boy from Arkansas says, "Yeah, and it's deep too". Get it?

  Scooter : [laughs]  That's a good one. I do believe you told me that one before. I've heard that one a bunch.

  Bill Cox : Yep. That's classic.

• Dr. Jerry Woolridge : I won't lie to you. He did get into that trouble a while ago, but then we has young.

  Bill Cox : I remember well. He cut those folks to pieces and his Mama was one of them.

  Scooter : And that old Dixon boy. Oh, hell, I always wanted to kill him myself. Asshole's what he was. But I remember that ol' boy too. Kinda retarded or somethin', back in school.

• Bill Cox : How are you coming along with that garden tiller?

  Karl : I fixed it. It's workin' pretty good now.

  Bill Cox : You done fixed it? Well I'll be damned. Scooter told me it couldn't be fixed. 'Course Scooter is about as shiftless as one poor son of a bitch can be. You done fixed it. I'll just be damned.
