When it's over you can go to your favorite proctologist and gat a nice soothing ointment for the hole that hurts the most!...
Jack Taggert: Let's face it, I don't believe in authority.

Frank Elkins: I'm going to Kentucky to check on a case. When I'm back, we're gonna go hunting. Do some fishing. We'll get away from all this stuff.
Jack Taggert: I appreciate the friendship. Means a lot to me.

Jack Taggert: Well, it would be free if you could.

Jack Taggert: Is this kind of like deliverance or something?
Jack Taggert: [FBI Agent #2 is standing in a pool of gasoline, holding a lit flare] Tell your boss, I'm coming to get him!

Hanner SR: [on the phone] I have fifty thousand barrels of cyanide rolling down here right now.
Pimple: I'm gonna have to educate you in how to properly beat the shit outta somebody.
Hanner SR: You're violating my constitutional rights.
Jack Taggert: I will show you a new meaning to the word "violation".
Hanner JR: You've been hanging out with the ignorant folks, we're the educated ones.
Jack Taggert: I think you really deserve to suffer.
Hanner SR: Doesn't this guy know the rules? I'm the rules.
