• Circuit Court Judge Thaddeus Jackson Breen : Major here has told me what your troubles are. I've been thinking it over and in light of my forty years experience in legal jurisprudence, I have come to the positive conclusion that there ain't no way to do this legal and honest... but being good sensible Texans, we'll do it illegal and dishonest! Now all the boys here in the room have agreed to sign a paper I have prepared. They all are going to commit perjury. That's legal language for just a plain, dumb blasted lie.

• Circuit Court Judge Thaddeus Jackson Breen : Most say, except for them who are unfair minded, that I have the finest legal mind in the entire southwest. So you can have faith in your lawyer, son. How much money you got?

  Paul Regret : I don't have any.

  Circuit Court Judge Thaddeus Jackson Breen : Well, I'm beginning to doubt your chances against the law.
