• Eula : I went shopping in those Memphis stores this morning and just went wild. Alligator bag, figured print, summer shoes. Which is all a laugh considering we live in Frenchman's Bend and nobody's gonna see 'em but redneck farmers and immediate family. I don't care though. I got my morale to keep up.

• Eula : Why, you sound free as a bird. Don't he sound free as a bird?

• Ben : Well, that's all right. I'm a quiet-living man, myself.

  Eula Varner : Oh, I only know one reason for living quiet; that's if you're too old to live any other way.

  Ben : In other words, you two girls take your fun where you can find it.

  Clara : Don't jump to conclusions, young man. We're giving you a ride and that's all.

  Eula Varner : Where you headed?

  Ben : I go as far as you go, ma'am.

  Eula Varner : Oh, you sound as free as a bird. Doesn't he sound as free as a bird, Clara?

  Ben : Well, Clara's wondering what kind of bird. Aren't you Clara?

• Eula Varner : If I'm not mistaken, that's my master's voice.
