- Tulip O'Hare: A woman needs to know how to be strong, stand on her own... a'course, boy or a girl, if you're lucky enough to fall in love you hafta be even stronger... fight like a lion to keep it alive... so that on the day your love is weak enough... or selfish enough... or friggin' stupid enough to run away, you have the strength to track him down and eat 'im alive.
- Donnie Schenck: You got me curious now. Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that, uh, that I don't listen. What then, huh?
- Jesse Custer: You'd hear a noise.
- Donnie Schenck: [sarcastically] Oh. Ooh, golly gee. Oh, a noise?
- Jesse Custer: A high-pitched, kind of... bunny-in-a-bear-trap sound. You'll know when it comes. 'Cause you're the one who'll be making it.
- Cassidy: Jesus, what kind of a preacher are you?
- Jesse Custer: The lousy kind.
- Cassidy: No, I'm sorry, mate. I've seen the lousy kind. As long as you're not walking around with a little kiddy's arsehole around your finger like a bloody wedding ring, I'd say you were ahead of the game, there.
- Chris Schenck: It's about my dad. I don't like him.
- Jesse Custer: Why don't you like him?
- Chris Schenck: 'Cause he's mean. Not to me. I mean, he is, but you know, mostly...
- Jesse Custer: He's mean to your mom. So do you want me to talk to someone?
- Chris Schenck: Talking won't help.
- Jesse Custer: Well, you're hangin' there like a shirt on the hook, so you got somethin' on your mind? Words, kid. What do you want?
- Chris Schenck: I want you to hurt him.
- Jesse Custer: You know, it's a sin just to ask me that?
- Chris Schenck: I know, but he sins, too. He sins worse and he's got it coming.
- Jesse Custer: [laughs] Well, in that case...
- Chris Schenck: Don't laugh! People said before you came back here... before you were a preacher... you did things.
- Jesse Custer: So bring me a beer and maybe I'll do some of these things to your daddy. How hurt do you want him? How far do I go? One punch? Two? Problem is, your daddy's a big fella. Imagine a couple of punches just gonna make him mad. He's gonna fight back. Then his buddies are gonna want to help out. I'll need to defend myself. Things will escalate. That's what these things do. They escalate. And violence makes violence. It makes nothing much at all. Is that what you want, kid?
- Cassidy: Right. So Tijuana. Any sod-eyed muppet with a bloody backpack and a pair of frickin' Birkenstocks is gonna go on about that donkey show, man.
- 7 Yo Twin Kansas Boy: [witnessing end of wild fit scene] Awesome! So awesome!
- Tulip O'Hare: Hey, guys... Yeah, so, he was a really bad man. Your parents around?
- 10 Yo Kansas Girl: Our mom's dead, and our dad's at work. But I'm 10, I'm in charge.
- Tulip O'Hare: Yeah, I bet'chu are.
- [starts to leave]
- 10 Yo Kansas Girl: You aren't allowed to just drive around, wrecking stuff and killing people, ya know. You're in like really big trouble.
- Tulip O'Hare: Yep. Oh, I know.
- [then with a twinkle in her eye]
- Tulip O'Hare: Who likes arts and craft?
- 7 Yo Twin Kansas Boy: [raises his hand enthusiastically]
- African Preacher: [possessed by God] Be... Quiet!
- [the church people and a dog do as he commands. Suddenly, the preacher explores into a pile of blood and gore, splattering them]
