View Quote Morgan: My boy's wicked smart.

View Quote Morgan: If you were gonna fight them, why didn't you fight them back there? We got snacks now!

View Quote Morgan: I swallowed a bug.

View Quote And if you're gonna freak out every time that you see a frozen chicken, I think we should go to the hospital. I don't know anything about this.

View Quote Lee: Do you actually have sex with these girls?
Patrick: Well, we don't just play computer games.
Lee: With both of them?
Patrick: Well with Sandy's mom here it's sort of strictly just basement business.
Lee: What does that mean?
Patrick: It means I'm workin' on it.

View Quote Patrick: What happened to your hand?
Lee: I cut it.
Patrick: Oh, thanks. For a minute there, I didn't know what happened.

View Quote I've been a nobody all my life. I was the baby; I was the one they made promises to that they never kept. And ever since I can recall it, Jesse James has been as big as a tree. I'm prepared for this, Jim. And I'm going to accomplish it. I know I won't get but this one opportunity and you can bet your life I'm not going to spoil it.

View Quote [to Frank James] Folks sometimes take me for a nincompoop on account of the shabby first impression I make, whereas I've always thought of myself as being just a rung down from the James Brothers. And I was hoping if I ran into you aside from those peckerwoods, I was hoping I could show you how special I am. I honestly believe I'm destined for great things, Mr. James. I've got qualities that don't come shining through right at the outset, but give me a chance and I'll get the job done- I can guarantee you that.

View Quote Jesse James: [Jesse has given Bob a gun as a gift] You know what John Newman Edwards once wrote about me? He said I didn't trust two men in ten thousand and was even cautious around them. The government's sort of run me ragged. I'm going the long way around the barn to say I've been feeling cornered and just plain ornery of late and I'd be pleased if you'd accept the gun as my way of apologizing.
Robert Ford: Heaven knows I'd be ornerier if I were in your position.
Jesse James: No. I haven't been acting correctly. I can't hardly recognize myself sometimes when I'm greased. I go on journeys out of my body and look at my red hands and my mean face and I wonder about that man who's gone so wrong. I've been becoming a problem to myself.

View Quote [voiceover] I couldn't stop running it over and over and over in my mind. The vague and distant suspicion that we never understood what happened that night; what our role was. Or maybe it was just like the hundreds of other children who disappear each year and never return. Amanda was even more haunting for never being found.

View Quote [voiceover] And like that, she was gone. We gave our statements. Nick and Remy the same. All of us spared any blame for Amanda's death. Jack Doyle resigned on the condition that he and he alone be held accountable. He was granted the dignity of early retirement, but the humiliation of half a pension. It was an ignominious end to an illustrious career.

View Quote [about Remy] He lied to me. I can't think of one reason big enough for him to lie that's small enough not to matter.

View Quote I got a foot on both sides of the fence. They were put there early, and they stayed put. I can't move. I can't jump. All I can do is wait until I split, right down the middle.

View Quote Striking at people that way is almost as good as the other, the real way. The way I'd fought to forget—and had almost forgot—until I met her.

View Quote [voiceover] Out here you say yes ma'am an no ma'am to anything with a skirt on. Out here if you catch a man with his pants down you apologize, even if you have to arrest him afterwards. Out here you're a man and a gentleman or you aren't anything at all. And god help you if you're not.

View Quote Bobby Calzone: [after Ellen slaps him after explaining what he did] What you do that for?
Ellen Rash: [outraged] You killed Mona Dearly!
Bobby Calzone: [chastened] I know.
Ellen Rash: BUT WHY?!
Bobby Calzone: Because I thought I was killing Jeff!
Ellen Rash: Bobby, my dad is the chief of police!
Bobby Calzone: I know, but I wasn't gonna go through with it.
Ellen Rash: It doesn't matter; you killed someone!
Bobby Calzone: I know, but I was doing it for us. Jeff was killing the business, and Mona wasn't gonna let me out of the partnership, so - Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Ellen Rash: A good idea at the time? 'Cut the grass at 6:00, lay sod at 7:00, DROWN THE DEARLYS AT 8:00'!

View Quote Ellen Rash: Yeah, but you're not even supposed to get that far, you're supposed to have that thing in your head that goes off and says, 'bad **** idea, Bobby!'
Bobby Calzone: I have that thing! I have that thing. It just didn't go off.
Ellen Rash: [pause] Yeah, well, I'm pregnant.
Bobby Calzone: What? You're pregnant? That's great!
Ellen Rash: Uh huh! I thought so too, till a moment ago. I can't believe you killed someone!
[she walks off]
Bobby Calzone: Where ya goin?
Ellen Rash: Home!
Bobby Calzone: [quietly] We need milk.

View Quote Bobby Calzone: [Regarding the cost of boneless chicken for the wedding] All right, uh, listen Murph, what's up with the whole chicken thing? You gonna help us out?
Murph Calzone: Bobby, look... if you want somebody to sit there and yank the bones out of a hundred chickens, it's gonna run ya money.
Bobby Calzone: All right look, but, you're my--y' know, you're the best man at this wedding, Murph...

Bobby Calzone: [High-pitched voice cracks] ... You know, you're my brother. Can't ya jist... do a brotherly deboning, or something?
