Lyman: Code of the West, rule number one: "Don't inquire into a man's past." Don't you read those books you pass around?

God only knows what condition your brakes are in. If you head out on the highway without knowing where the jack is, you'll end up stranded in the middle of the desert, or on top of some mountain, or...

Fiona: Yes, Lyman. But people like you, and they are few and far between, they always seem to show up. Goodbye.

[last lines]

Fiona: [in a letter pinned to his shirt] Lyman, I'm taking you with me. I want to give you my family. You can't work for a while anyway and I have a few weeks until my next job, so I thought we could look out for each other. And you can finally see some of the rest of the planet. You were out cold for a week. Then you started telling me about gypsies - me and half the hospital staff. They *finally* let me take you this morning. I'll stop, if you want to turn around. Call me on channel 9.

Lyman: [talking into CB radio] In this state, it is against the law to haul trailers with someone in it.

Lyman: Why didn't you ask me?

Fiona: Well, you've been on pain killers. Plus I didn't trust you to make the break. You're unreliable when it comes to your own interests.

Lyman: I still get confused. Tell me again...

[petting Floyd with eye patch]

Fiona: Oh, well, when you threw him to me I caught him. But them I stuck my finger in his eye. He'll get better too.

Lyman: Fiona, I've never been outside the County line. Not in my whole life.

Fiona: Just wait 'til you see the Atlantic Ocean.

Lyman: Fiona...

Fiona: And you know what else? I got a tool belt to snap onto your wheelchair, just in case. We're prepared.

Lyman: What the heck... Let's go. Surprise me.
