• 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]
