Chiles Stanton: What if I told you I was never Miss Dallas?
Beau Hutton: Well I'll probably like you even more. Were you?
Chiles Stanton: I almost was.
Beau Hutton: What happened?
Chiles Stanton: I choked. Like always. They asked me what my stance on global warming was and all I could think of was a planet in a big old sweater my Grandma used to make me.
Beau Hutton: I'm sure that'll keep the world nice and warm.
Chiles Stanton: Do you still like me?
Beau Hutton: I still like you.
Chiles Stanton: I'm serious, Beau.
Beau Hutton: I still like you.
Chiles Stanton: I'm not what I seem.
Beau Hutton: Oh maybe that's what I like about you. D'you ever think of that? You know maybe that's what makes you different from all those other pretty pennies out there.

Chiles Stanton: Hello James! Hi, Mrs. Kelly! Would you mind signing this for me, please?

Chiles Stanton: [to James] This is amazing, James! It's so beautiful, I don't even wanna pee in the toilet! Aaaah!

Chiles Stanton: [singing] ... whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away.
[she sees Beau on the doorway]
Chiles Stanton: Oh hi Beau.
Beau Hutton: Ever be here to wish me good luck?
Chiles Stanton: I'm on board. I'm playing three songs tonight.
Beau Hutton: Says who?
Chiles Stanton: Says James Canter, that's who.
Beau Hutton: Bullshit.
Chiles Stanton: Bulltrue. I happen to be a consideration as an opening act for Miss Kelly Canter. James, my new manager, booked me this gig as a rehearsal. Not that I need it. I've been waiting for this moment since I was four year old.
Beau Hutton: Last time I saw you sing, you froze up like an ice cube.
Chiles Stanton: That was seven and a half months ago. And it was just one time. I'm not playing county fairs anymore. I'm much more seasoned.
Beau Hutton: You don't have any songs. You can't even play the guitar.
Chiles Stanton: I've been writing songs. I got a whole bunch of them right over there.
[points at her dresser]
Beau Hutton: [reads the titles of the lyrics] Little Heartbreaker, Summer Girl, Rinky Dinky Town... these aren't songs, these are rides at Disneyland.
Chiles Stanton: [sings mockingly] I've got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns...

Beau Hutton: When did General MacArthur return to the Phillipines?
Chiles Stanton: 1946.
Beau Hutton: What does "amorous" means?
Chiles Stanton: Having a propensity for falling in love.
Beau Hutton: [laughing] What the hell are these things?
Chiles Stanton: Well... as a woman in this industry, people have a habit of thinking I'm some kind of ignoramous. And my pageant training doesn't exactly help things, so I have to overcompensate. I don't want people to think I'm some dumb beauty queen.
Beau Hutton: I never called you a dumb beauty queen. I'm serious, anybody that says "ignoramous" so casually... that's not dumb at all.
Beau's Bandmate: Ugh. Why don't y'all sleep together and get this over with?
