Leroy : You want to know what you done after you hit him? You jerked the medal off his shirt and then you rolled that sweet little boy off that wharf from under them pilings.
Rhoda : You don't know anything. None of what you've said is true.
Leroy : You know I'm telling the gospel truth. You know I got it figured out.
Rhoda : You've figured out something that never happened. And so it's all lies. Now take your excelsior to the basement and put it where you can sleep on it when you are supposed to be working.

Leroy : [to Rhoda] I thought I'd seen some mean little gals in my time, but you're the meanest. You wanna know how I know how mean you are? 'Cause I'm mean. I'm smart and I'm mean, and you're smart and you're mean. And you never get caught and I never get caught.

Leroy Jessup : [after Mrs. Breedlove is out of earshot] Ooh, that ol' know-it-all Monica Breedlove! Thinks don't nobody know anything but her!
[scoffs]
Leroy Jessup : ... Well, she ain't got long to go, anyway.
[Leroy grins in a perverted manner as he sits down on the lawn]
Leroy Jessup : But that young trough-fed Mrs. Penmark?... She might get kinda lonely with that soldier-boy o' hers gone! Yes sir... she might. Now, that Rhoda... she's a smart one. Smarter than most of 'em, that's for sure! She sees through me... and I see through her! Swallow me a frog, but she's smart, huh?
