Quotes 

• Joan Winfield : Don't you get lonesome being here all alone?

  Pop Tolliver : No, I like people. Not seeing many of 'em keeps me liking 'em.

• Pop Tolliver : What do you want with your eggs, bacon or ham?

  Steve Collins : Bacon.

  Joan Winfield : Ham.

  Pop Tolliver : Okay, you'll both get bacon because I don't feel like cutting into a new ham.

• Joan Winfield : You've got to help me. I've got to get away from him.

  Pop Tolliver : Well, you hit him first.

  Joan Winfield : But you don't understand--We're not eloping; he's kidnapping me.

  Pop Tolliver : Ain't much difference between kidnappin' and marryin'. You get snatched from your parents, but in marriage, nobody offers a reward.

• Pop Tolliver : How do you want your eggs, up or over?

  Steve Collins : Up.

  Joan Winfield : Over.

  Pop Tolliver : Okay, I'll make them all up so we don't get confused.

• Sheriff McGee : If there's nobody else here, why are you cooking six eggs?

  Pop Tolliver : I always eat six eggs for breakfast.

  Sheriff McGee : [sees the table]  And do you always eat those six eggs on three plates?

  Pop Tolliver : No, those other two are for Coco here.

  [the black bird perches on his arm] 

• Pop Tolliver : Who's down there, or I'll shoot!

  Steve Collins : Well, go ahead and shoot - only make sure you aim at me!

• Pop Tolliver : Remember that bullet I whizzed right past your head?

  Steve Collins : Yeah, for a minute I thought you trying to hit me.

  Pop Tolliver : I was.
