• Jack Taggert : [as Jack exits the front door of the doctor's office, he notices Sheriff Lloyd standing at his car]  Good morning, sir, how are you?

  [another police car screeches to a stop and the deputies immediately get out] 

  Lloyd : Mr. Taggert, would you come with me, please?

  Jack Taggert : You want to go have a coffee together?

  Lloyd : I'm not here to socialize. I saw you beat up five men. I hear Cotton is beaten almost to death. People get hurt when you're always around. Assault and battery. I figured it's good for a ten-day lock-up.

  Jack Taggert : Listen, why don't we just cut the shit? You know who I am. I can have you arrested just as easy as you can arrest me and you know it. So, why don't you get back in Orin's car, with Orin's little department, and take off? Let's face it. I don't believe in your authority.

  Lloyd : Maybe you'll believe a gun up your butt.

  [to one of his deputies] 

  Lloyd : Cuff him!

  [as the deputies swarm in, he beats them all up and puts the one of their guns into one's mouth] 

  Jack Taggert : How do you want to do this? You wanna play this game all the way? I'll have three hundred agents come up here into this little hick town and crawl up every orifice you got. When it's over, you can go to your favorite proctologist and get a nice, soothing ointment, and rub it on the hole that hurts most. How do you want it? How do you want it?

  Lloyd : [looks at the concerned bystanders]  Let's go, boys.

• Lloyd : [shows up in his police car at the lumberyard after Taggert beats up five men]  Well, I figured you'd be some world-class screw-up. A public brawl like this? Mr. Taggert, you're under arrest for assault and battery and disturbing the peace.

  Rev. Goodall : [walks over]  Hold it, Lloyd. It was self-defense.

  Lloyd : [annoyed]  What?

  Rev. Goodall : I saw the whole thing. They jumped me.

  Lloyd : [to the other men]  Anybody else around here see anything?

  Pimple : I didn't see nothing.

  Hatch : There was no problem.

  Lloyd : I appreciate your help, Reverend.
