Deputy Burt : Now, what's your name?
Dinah Hunter : Hunter. Dinah Hunter.
Deputy Burt : You got some I.D.?
Dinah Hunter : Yes. Actually, no, it was my purse and it was stolen.
Deputy Burt : [unconvinced] Oh?
Dinah Hunter : Two kids stole my purse.
Deputy Burt : [still unconvined] Okay, okay, okay.
Dinah Hunter : Goddamnit...!
Deputy Burt : Hey, now you watch your mouth! There ain't no need to take the lord's name in vain, you hear?
Dinah Hunter : Yeah. Look, just call my sister.
Deputy Burt : No, I ain't calling nobody's sister nowhere!
Dinah Hunter : You don't understand!
Deputy Burt : I understand! I understand that you ain't got no I.D. I understand that a citizen of the county said you tried to assault him.
Dinah Hunter : That's not true.
Deputy Burt : Well, which ain't true?
Dinah Hunter : Assault.
Deputy Burt : [unconvinced] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dinah Hunter : Jesus Christ...!
Deputy Burt : [angrily] Hey, I'm not about to tell you one more time! You shut that tramp yap of yours!
[he forcibly drags Dinah towards the door]
Deputy Burt : Now you come with me. In the morning, the sheriff will straighten this out. Oh, God, I forgot why I stopped by. I promised Elders, I'd thank you personally for the soda pop at Gloria's picnic. That was mighty nice of you.
Dan Oldum (Bartender) : [nervously] Anytime. Say hello to Reverend Coby for me.
Deputy Burt : I sure will. Thanks, again.
Dinah Hunter : [to Deputy Burt] You don't understand.
[as they leave, Dan sits down on the bar stool and feels like he narrowly dodged a bullet]
