- Poke Jackson: How'd ya know that?

- Bull Parker: [Uncle Bull has a shotgun pointed at Poke] Tell you what... Walk around out in the open so's I can see ya... Mind ya now, you so much as move so's your scratchin' yourself, I'll open a hole in ya that you can walk through.
- Sheriff Duke: [Realizing that Poke took the money] Lenny, pick up Poke Jackson.
- Lenny: What's the charge?
- Sheriff Duke: Same damn thing... Possession.
- Sheriff Duke: [Sheriff Duke drives his car into a building, and Lenny is thrown out] Lenny, you alright?
- Lenny: Yeah.
- Sheriff Duke: Shut the door.

- [Buford shoots his truck]
- Poke Jackson: [after shooting Buford's truck] That was alright, Buford... I like shootin' trucks!
- Buford Tyler: Stick with me, cowboy, and we'll shoot up half the county.
- Sheriff Duke: Lenny, I want you to put out an all points bulletin on Poke Jackson... Armed and dangerous.
- Lenny: But Duke, he didn't take our weapons.
- Sheriff Duke: Lenny, are you hard of hearing?... I said armed and dangerous.
- Sheriff Duke: [Poke has just arrived in town] I'm the sheriff now.
- Poke Jackson: How'd ya pull that one off, Duke?
- Sheriff Duke: Duly elected by the people.
- Sheriff Duke: [Duke is beating up Boogie] Boy, you know I hate losing my temper... Cause when I do, I get indigestion... And that makes me angry!
- Sheriff Duke: [Lenny has been looking at himself in the mirror] Boy, one of these days, that guy in the mirror is gonna shoot your balls off... If you don't get him first.
- Boogie: [Poke is talking about his time in prison] I'll bet you were hornier than a three-balled tomcat!
- Mary Lee: [Talking to Uncle Bull] We need a car, Mister.
- Bull Parker: I don't have me no car... I do have one hell of a truck, though.
- Sheriff Duke: [after gets the money off Poke] Ya know somethin' Poke?... Ya always did have a big mouth!... Ya know somethin' else?... I always did wanna shut it for ya!... Ya almost killed the kid and Mary Lee, and ya killed a deputy!... That's murder, boy!

- Mary Lee: He didn't kidnap us, we went with him.
- Sheriff Duke: Yeah, that was smart... You could'a got youself and the kid killed.
- Lenny: [Lenny is looking at himself in a mirror, and he draws his gun] Say your prayers, you son of a bitch!
- Sheriff Duke: [Duke was chasing Poke, and the car went in the lake and sank] Junior, Lenny, If Mary Lee and Kevin don't come up... Get your asses in the water.
- Lenny: [Duke and Lenny are chasing Poke] What in the hell's makin' that truck go so fast?
- Sheriff Duke: I think they worked on the motor, don't you?
- Poke Jackson: [Poke and Uncle Bull are being chased by Sheriff Duke] Uncle Bull... Uncle Bull... Uncle Bull, that's a road block up ahead...
- Bull Parker: I know... We're gonna bust that sucker through
- [laughing]
- Poke Jackson: [Uncle Bull is shooting at Poke and Mary Lee] Uncle Bull, don't you remember me?... You used to run around with my daddy in 1957.
- Bull Parker: You Leslie Jackson's boy?
- Lenny: [Lenny and Sheriff Duke are chasing Uncle Bull and Poke] Who in the hell we chanin', Duke?
- Sheriff Duke: Looks like old Bull Parker, and ya know who he's kin to.
- Sheriff Duke: [Sheriff Duke is talking to Lenny about Bull Parker] I'll tell ya something, Lenny, I shoulda busted that old son-of-a-bitches head when we got him out there with that still, I shoulda done it!... but ya can't be nice to people, boy... Don't you never forget that... you just can't be nice!
- Sheriff Duke: [a tiresome Duke enters his office to see C.J. sitting at his desk] Hello, Duke. Looks to me like you had a hard day.
- Sheriff Duke: Well, as a matter of fact, C.J., I DID have a hard day. What the hell's on your mind?
- C.J. Crane: I always had high hopes for you, Duke, but you just could never cut it.
- Sheriff Duke: Yeah? Well, maybe that's because I didn't kiss your ass and I'm going to tell you something else, C.J.. I'm gonna get Poke Jackson and I'm gonna get him in my own way and, this time, I don't want no meddling from you! Now, get your fat ass out of my chair.
- C.J. Crane: You're through, Duke.
- Sheriff Duke: [smiles] Well, I'll tell you something, C.J.. If I go down, you're gonna go with me.
- C.J. Crane: How do you figure that? I got so much trust from others you can't even see and I'm gonna tell you something that you could never seem to get through that thick head of yours. I always kept my fences mended and my tracks covered. Now, who do you think they'll believe, some piss-ant sheriff or C.J. Crane?
- [as C.J. exits the office, an upset Duke slumps down on his chair]
- Mary Lee: [after Bull Parker shoots at their direction, thinking they are trespassers] You son of a bitch, Poke Jackson! I thought he said he knew who you were.
- Poke Jackson: [whispers] Shut up, Mary Lee!
- [Mary Lee groans angrily]
- Poke Jackson: Uncle Bull!
- Bull Parker: I ain't your uncle! I ain't nobody's uncle! I ain't got me no relatives!
- Poke Jackson: You used to run moonshine with my pa back in 1956!
- Bull Parker: Ain't you Leslie Jackson's boy?
- Poke Jackson: Damn right!
- Lenny: [as they chase Bull Parker's truck] Who the hell we chasing, Duke?
- Sheriff Duke: Looks like old Bull Parker's truck to me and you know who the hell he's kin to. I tell you something, Lenny. I should have busted that old son of a bitch's head, when we got him out there with that still. I should have done it, but you can't be nice to people, boy! Don't you ever forget that in life! You can't be nice to them!
