Amos Bush : Colonel Galloway, Washington - the whole country's got it's hand out. Something for nothing. Nobody wants to work anymore. Gimme this, gimme that - gimme, gimme, gimme! "Gimme, you federal government; gimme, you state government; gimme, you city government"! You know what I call it? The Gimme's!

Odie Turman : [Holding a pistol at Wren] Don't you move, now. With my palsy, you're in enough trouble just standing there.
Amos Bush : Odie, what are you doing? Give me my gun!
Odie Turman : But he's a Communist! Look at them cigarettes!
Wren : I was just trying to explain to the, the old lady here, this car's a rental.

Odie Turman : I searched the rear. He's clean!
Amos Bush : Odie Turman, what are you doing here? I told you last night you're too old to do this!
Odie Turman : You can't have too much help ferreting out them Communists!
Amos Bush : Odie, we're not ferreting out Communists - we're looking for cigarettes.
Odie Turman : Oh, so what. The red devils! Where's my pistol?
Amos Bush : You can't have a pistol.
Odie Turman : Why, that's a bullshit - you've got a pistol!
Amos Bush : Odie, I am... I am running this blockade and I'm also the leader of the entire No Smoking Patrol and I wear the only pistol.
Odie Turman : I'll tell that to a Communist when he H-bombs me. I'll tell him, "Before you H-bomb me, you go over to that man with a gun and get captured." You're a bullshit, Amos Bush!
