- [Bat sneaks up behind Lisa, who is waiting to ambush him]
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: You know, a successful killer, Lisa, should have a sense of direction.
- Lisa Truex: I wasn't going to kill you, Bat. I swear it!
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: Really? You had someone else in mind?
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: Something tells me you two are friends.
- Leo Talley: That's right - friends.
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: Well, my sympathies to you both.
- Lisa Truex: The sheriff is owned by Leo Talley.
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: And you own Leo Talley.
- Lisa Truex: Long term lease.
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: It's nothing but rock and sand. You couldn't raise an eyebrow on this property.
- [Leo can't understand why Bat isn't upset after being swindled in a land deal]
- Leo Talley: Just a minute, Bat. You look too cocky.
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: Well, I'm a real estate investor. What's your excuse?
- [Bat markets the worthless piece of land he bought from Lisa as an elite graveyard]
- Lisa Truex: At a hundred dollars a plot, how many do you think you'll sell, honey Bat?
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: Ol' honey Bat might sell about a hundred.
- Lisa Truex: Ten thousand dollars - that's my property, Leo. I want it back!
- Leo Talley: You heard the lady, Masterson.
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: Oh, I did, didn't I? They're available in six foot sections, ma'am.
- Leo Talley: I'll buy one... for you.
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: For me? You touch me, Mr. Talley. I didn't know you cared.
- Leo Talley: Go on inside, boys. Drinks on the house.
- Sheriff: Not me. I'm not as young as I was yesterday.
- [last lines]
- Sheriff: Come on, Lisa. They're waiting for you over in the courthouse.
- Lisa Truex: Aren't you going to help me, Bat? I have no one else - no family, no friends - no one who really cares.
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: Oh, the sheriff cares, Lisa. And so do those twelve men on the jury.
- Sheriff: And they're ready and willing to fix you up good and proper.
- [at the thought of men in the jury box, a evil gleam appears in Lisa's eye]
- Lisa Truex: Twelve men...
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: Mm-hmm.
- Lisa Truex: Of course. Let's not keep them waiting, Sheriff!
- William Barclay 'Bat' Masterson: Oh, Sheriff... in the interest of justice, make sure those jurors bring their wives to the trial.
- Sheriff: Don't you fret about justice. Every wife in town is going to be there.
