• [At a diner, Frank and Elmo, members of the Black Widows, have bought a beer for Lynn, to which Philo "cheers" to them. Frank and Elmo walk towards Philo, Lynn, and Orville] 

  Philo Beddoe : That's mighty nice of you.

  Elmo : [shows Philo his Widow tattoo]  You see that?

  Philo Beddoe : An arm?

  Elmo : No, that!

  Philo Beddoe : A tattoo?

  Elmo : He don't know what this means.

  Frank : [shows Orville his Widow tattoo]  Do you see that?

  Orville Boggs : [sneezes]  Ah-choo! Oh, sorry.

  Philo Beddoe : Two tattoos.

  Elmo : Them's Black Widows.

  Frank : Did you know that more people die from black widows than rattlers every year?

  Orville Boggs : Is that right?

  Frank : Yeah, that's right.

  Orville Boggs : Well, listen, I sure do appreciate knowing that because most of the people I know just - puh - step on them and squish them

  Frank : I don't need this cheap shit.

  Philo Beddoe : Orville, that's no way to thank you two guys just bought us a beer. Why don't you get the check and I'll go outside and thank them properly

  Elmo : Oh, okay.

• Waitress : [to Elmo after the Widows question her about Philo's whereabouts]  You want to talk, take a walk. You want to eat, take a seat.

  [diner erupts into laughter] 

  Frank : [to fat man at counter]  What're you laughing at, lard ass?

  Fat Man : [fuming]  I tell you what. You turn around and walk out that door, and I'll forget what you said.

  [looks up at Frank, grinning] 

  Fat Man : And I won't tell everybody you drink horse piss!

  [waitress and patrons giggle] 

  Frank : Elmo, Cholla, did you hear what he just said?

  Cholla : [fiercely]  I heard it.

  Waitress : [taking fat man's plate]  I'll just keep this warm for you, Lester.

  Frank : Okay bigmouth, let's go.

  Waitress : [to fat man]  You want me to keep a piece of that lemon merangue?

  Fat Man : Yeah, this won't take but a minute.

  [to Frank] 

  Fat Man : Let's go, cutes!

  [all exit to watch the fight] 

• [Biker's Theme sax intro; Elmo enters the Widow compound] 

  Cholla : You're late, pretty boy. I don't believe this.

  Frank : Damn, I've never knowed nobody who hit so hard or so fast.

  Elmo : Yeah. He could've been Denver Tank Murdock.

  Frank : That's right.

  Cholla : Sound like him?

  Dallas : Don't know. Didn't get to see him so close as Elmo.

  [Dallas and Woody laugh] 

  Elmo : At least I didn't drop my bike and run.

  Frank : Yeah, like you two, goofy suckers!

  Cholla : [screams]  Shut up!

  [the four quiets down] 

  Cholla : Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

  Frank : Yeah, but we don't know for sure if he took them or not. We were...

  Woody : Unconcious for two hours!

  [Dallas and Woody laughs again] 

  Elmo : [yells]  That's not true!

  Cholla : [screams]  SHUT UP!

  [Cholla hits Elmo in the groin with his cane] 

  Cholla : The very first thing we do is find out who we're talking about. I mean, we don't even know where to find him.

  Elmo : How are we gonna find him?

  Cholla : Well, it appears to me that there can't be too many guys driving around this valley with an ape.
