[Remmick, Joan, and Bert play "Picked Poor Robin Clean" on the banjo. The others watch in confusion, though Stack chuckles and nods along a bit.]
Smoke: [stopping the music after a bit] Hold on hold on, just a minute.
Remmick: Aw, its just about to get good.
Smoke: Nah I believe ya. But this here a juke joint.
Stack: Blues music.
Bert: Well we've got money and we ready to spend it with y'all.
Remmick: Soundin' damn near perfect and you're saying we ain't welcome.
Smoke: Nah I'm saying you get down that road and get back into town. Plenty of white barrel houses down there.

Mary: Now that is none-
Annie: [interrupting] She here cuz she family.
Remmick: Family... [sighs] Can- can we just, for one night, just all be family? [he steps forward, and Smoke reaches for his gun] Y-you don't need to do that, sir. We'll be on our way. But we're gonna walk real slow, just in case y'all change your mind.

View Quote [Mary applauds Remmick, Bert, and Joan after they play "Lassie Go.]"
Remmick: You looking for some fresh air, or...
Mary: I just come to see if y'all was good people.
Remmick: Aw darlin' that's so sweet of you.
Joan: So sweet.
Remmick: We most surely are
Mary: [sitting next to him] And y'all got money to spend?
Remmick: Oh yeah, plenty money. You wanna see?
Mary: Yeah, I wanna see. [Bert hands her some gold] What type of money is this?
Remmick: The solid gold kind, darlin'. Yeah.
Mary: Where's this from?
Remmick: It's from a different place in a different time. But it spends just the same. You can have it. But it's no good to you.
Joan: It's no good to her...
Bert: [shaking his head] Mmm-mm.
Mary: Well, what makes you say that?
Remmick: Cuz you in some deep, deep pain that money can't fix. Am I right? [Mary looks at him] You came over here for fellowship and love.
Joan: Fellowship and love...
Mary: My mother... she just passed.
Remmick: Aw that's awful. Ah...
Bert: Just awful.
Joan: Just awful... [touches Mary's shoulder]
Bert: Losin' a mother is a hurtin' feeling.
Remmick: Mhmm. Y'know I wish in my heart that we'd have met sooner. I would've liked to have saved your mother from her fate. I can still save you from yours.
Mary: Oh no you must have me confused. I'm sad is all, but I don't need no saving.
Remmick: [eyes now red with drool hanging from his mouth] Yes... yes you do. You all do. [he looks at her neck and Mary quickly gets up and points a gun]
Mary: I'm gonna head back now, and I think y'all should too. Back to where we all came from. [as she walks away, Remmick levitates into the air, eyes glowing]

View Quote Sammie Moore: You're the devil, ain't you?
Remmick: Sammie! You're the one I came for. I sensed you. I want to see my people again, I'm trapped here. But your gifts can bring them to me. Y'all give them to me now. Just- just give me little Sammie. We'll let y'all live.
[Sammie moves to the door, but Smoke and the others hold him back]
Smoke: Hey, hey, easy.
Delta Slim: I'm gonna tell you something, you goddamn peckerwood. You can't have him. He belongs to us. He belongs with us! And I ain't gonna let that happen.
Remmick: You can't save him, Smoke - no more than you could save your brother.
[Stack walks up to Club Juke, laughing and carrying Mary in his arms]
Remmick: You ain't safe here. No matter how many guns or how much money, they gonna take it from you when they want. You built something here tonight, and it was beautiful. But it was built on a lie. Hogwood? Well, he's the grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. [He points to Bert] That's his mother**** nephew! They was always gonna kill you - I just happened to show up at the right place at the right time.
Stack: He telling the truth, Smoke. I can see his memories.
Delta Slim: Smoke, that ain't your brother.
Stack: This wasn't no juke joint, no club. This is a... slaughterhouse.
Bert: It's a goddamn killing floor.
Joan: But what Uncle Hogwood don't know is we gonna start ourselves a new Klan based on love.
Remmick: Now that we got numbers, we'll probably go to that old bigot and rectify him, too.
Annie: Why can't y'all just go?
Mary: Because we're not leaving without y'all. We family. Ain't that right? I know it sound crazy, but... after we kill y'all, we're gonna have heaven right here on Earth!
