Bridget Gregory
[edit]- Who's a girl gotta suck around here to get a drink?
- As far as you're concerned any sex we had is entirely a product of your imagination.
Mike Swale
[edit]- Maybe it's my quaint small town morals, but I don't do murder.
Frank Griffith
[edit]- [to Bridget] Anyone check you for a heartbeat recently?
Clay Gregory
[edit]- [to Bridget] I borrowed 100K from a man whose first and last names end in vowels, and every week I owe him a new thousand dollars in interest. And when I come up just a little short, he's got this very fun game that he likes to play with thumbs. I hired a private detective for fifty percent, but now that I know where you are, I am perfectly willing to spend all the money I have in hiring a clinical sociopath to take it from you, and fuck you through the eye socket just for fun!

- Bridget Gregory: Then I'll designate someone else.
- Harlan: How the fuck do you stay up here? I mean, these people... I go in the store this morning for cigarettes, they got ducks under the counter. What, do they plant these people or do they just grow out of the ground? And they look at me like, hell, I don't know.
