Dale: Dad. We're men, okay? That means a few things; we like to shit with the door open, we talk about pussy, we like to go on riverboat gambling trips, and we make our own beef jerky. That's what we do. And now that is all wrecked.
Robert: (Thinks for a minute) We literally have never done any of those things.

Wiry Girl: That's not fair! I had zombies too!
Sitterson: Yes, you had "Zombies." But this is "Zombie Redneck Torture Family." They're two entirely separate species. It's like the difference between an elephant and an elephant seal.

Truman: How can you wager on this when you control the outcome?
Hadley: No, we just get 'em in the cellar. They take it from there.
Sitterson: They have to make the choice of their own free will, otherwise the system doesn't work. Like the Harbinger. Creepy old ****, practically wears a sign, "YOU WILL DIE." Why do we put him there? The system. They have to choose to ignore him, just like they have to choose what's in the cellar. Yeah, we rig the game as much as we can, but in the end, they don't transgress ...
Hadley: They can't be punished.
