    [He tosses another knife, again with perfect accuracy]

    McLeach: What do you think Joanna?

    [He pauses for a moment and then kicks Joanna in the side]

    McLeach: Joanna, you been out here digging holes again? Dumb lizard's always trying to bury squirrels out here.

    Cody: Uh-uh. It's a trap, and poaching's against the law.

    McLeach: Trap? Now where'd you get an idea like that, boy; I think you've been down in that hole too long.

  • McLeach: It's all over, boy. Your bird's dead. Someone shot her. Shot her, right out of the sky. Bang!

    Cody: No!

    McLeach: What do you mean no? You calling me a liar? I heard it on the radio this morning, and she could have been mine if it wasn't for you. Now you better get out of here before I change my mind. G'on, git!

    Bernard: Why is he letting him go?

Bludgeon me with a bedpan. Whatever you do, put me out of this pain." She was gushing torrents of blood. I have this all on tape if you want to see it someday. Well, finally you came out. Your mom cut your umbilical cord herself. Well, on the second try. The first time she snipped your penis in half. After all, she was drunk. Actually, drugged. We'd been out the night before celebrating St. Patrick's Day. And she thought, "Hey, I never tasted crystal meth." So she did just a little.

    Cody: My penis?

    Cindy: Yes. They sewed it on upside down.

    Cody: So that's why I pee up?

    Cindy: Yes. We'll get it fixed, honey. It's on my list of things. Right after we get TiVo. Anyway, there you were. Your mom turned to me and she said, "Hey, you want him? Take him." And then she died. And I took you. Do you know why? I'd just lost my cat in a fire, and I needed something to pet and feed. And I miss that cat, Cody. But I love you. And nothing's ever gonna change that, not even the very painful death we're about to experience.

  • Bridget: How did you know it wasn't me you gave the coin to before?

    Cody: He kisses differently than you.

    Sheriff Sam Deeds: Boy, you mix drinks as bad as you mix metaphors, you'd be out of a job.

  • Hock Banyon: I thought she was raised more sensible

    Cody: Sensible? She's twelve! I know there are hard lessons in life but a kid doesn't have to learn them all at once. Especially not from her own Grandfather... or her father, for that matter.

    Lillian Cole: She makes perfect sense to me. All she sees, in all living things... is the potential. God, why would anyone want her to see it any other way.

  • [first lines]

    Cody: [wielding harpoon] Let's do it!
