'Madame Tinkertoy's House of Blue Lights. Corner of Bourbon and Toulouse, New Orleans, Louisiana.' Now this is supposed to be the finest whorehouse in the South. These ain't no pork chops. These are U. S. Prime.

Jack
[praying]

We have planted our seeds. We ask that our efforts be worthy to produce simple food for our simple taste. We ask that our efforts be rewarded. And we thank you for the food we eat from other hands - that we may share it with our fellow man and be even more generous when it is from our own. Thank you for a place to make a stand.

Joanne
[reading from the I-Ching]

Starting brings misfortune. Per-serverance brings danger. Not every demand for change in the existing order should be heeded. On the other hand, repeated and well-founded complaints should not fail to a hearing.

] I'm going to die. I'm dead...Do you understand?...Oh dear God, please let it be. Please help me conceive a child...I'm right out here out of my head...Please God, let me out of here. I want to get out of here...You know what I mean...You wanted me...You wanted me ugly didn't you? I know you johns - I know you johns.

Sarah

We just can't take anymore, Stranger. Just too many people dropping in. Oh, I'm not talking about you and your friends, you know that. And like the week before, Susan dropped in with twelve people from Easter City. She wanted to take ten pounds of rice with her...Well naturally, we had to say no...So she gets all up tight and she breaks out some hash - and she won't give us any. Oh, and...that's not all. The next morning, they went outside to start their bus and they couldn't get it started...

The Devil

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye. We've come to play for our dinner. Or should I say, stay for our dinner. Or even slay for our dinner...We've come to drink your wine, taste your food and take pleasure in your women.

[after being shot]

Oh my God!

Oh my God! I'm going for help Billy.

I got 'em. I'm gonna get 'em. ...Man, I-I'm gonna get 'em. Where are they now?

Hey man, everything that we ever dreamed of is in that teardrop gas tank - and you got a stranger over there pourin' gasoline all over it. Man, all he's got to do is turn and look over into it, man, and he can see that...

He won't know what it is, man. He won't know what it is. Don't worry, Billy. Everything's all right.

I'm sorry about the misunderstanding.

There was no misunderstanding. We're all in the same cage here.

You must be some important dude. That treatment--

What does he mean "dude"? Dude ranch?

"Dude" means a nice guy, you know? "Dude" means a regular sort of person.

This is nothing but sand, man. They ain't gonna make it, man. They ain't gonna grow anything here.

They're gonna make it. Dig, man. They're gonna make it.

We've done it. We've done it. We're rich. Wyatt. [Laughs] Yeah, man. [Laughs] Yeah. Clearly, we did it, man we did it. We did it. Huh. We're rich, man. We're retired in Florida, now, mister. Whew.

You know, Billy. We blew it.

What? Huh? Wha-wha-wha- That's what it's all about, man. I mean, like you know - I mean, you go for the big money, man, and then you're free. You dig? [Laughs]

We blew it. Good night, man.

You're pulling inside man. You're getting a little distance tonight.

Yeah, well, I'm just getting my thing together.

Customer 1

You know, I thought at first that bunch over there, their mothers had maybe been frightened by a bunch of gorillas, but now I think they were caught.

Customer 2

I know one of them's Alley-oop - I think. From the beads on him.

Customer 4

Well, one of them darned sure is not Oola.

Customer 1

Look like a bunch of refugees from a gorilla love-in.

Customer 2

A gorilla couldn't love that.

Customer 1

Nor could a mother.

Customer 3

I'd love to mate him up with one of those black wenches out there.

Customer 4

Oh, now I don't know about that.

Customer 3

Well, that's about as low as they come. I'll tell ya...Man, they're green.

Customer 4

No, they're not green, they're white.

Customer 3

White? Huh!

Customer 4

Uh-huh.

Customer 3

Man, you're color blind. I just gotta say that...

Customer 1

I don't know. I thought most jails were built for humanity, and that won't quite qualify.

Customer 2

I wonder where they got those wigs from.

Customer 1

They probably grew 'em. It looks like they're standin' in fertilizer. Nothin' else would grow on 'em...

Customer 3

I saw two of them one time. They were just kissin' away. Two males. Just think of it.

Deputy

What the hell is this? Troublemakers?

Cat Man

You name it - I'll throw rocks at it, Sheriff.
...

Cat Man

Check that joker with the long hair.
Deputy: I checked him already. Looks like we might have to bring him up to the Hilton before it's all over with.

Cat Man

Ha! I think she's cute.

Deputy

Isn't she, though. I guess we'd put him in the women's cell, don't you reckon?

Cat Man

Oh, I think we ought to put 'em in a cage and charge a little admission to see 'em.

Those are what is known as 'country witticisms.'
