Quotes 

• Jane : You really don't care about anybody or anything except yourself, do you?

  Jonas : Oh, Jane... I never pretended I did.

• Sheriff Will Braverman : Feeling better now?

  Jane : [getting her feet rubbed by Will]  Yeah. I guess I just needed to be alone.

  Sheriff Will Braverman : I'll take that as a compliment.

  Jane : [Jane checks her watch and starts pulling her feet away]  It's before 6:00. I've got to go.

  Sheriff Will Braverman : Whoa.

  [pulls Jane's bare feet back and resumes gently rubbing her toes] 

  Sheriff Will Braverman : Places to go. People to rip off.

  Jane : Oh, you should talk. Here you are consorting with the enemy.

  Sheriff Will Braverman : Yeah, well, I'm an easy consort.

• Jonas : [Addressing the congregation as the choir sings]  Oh, people, the Lord is speaking to me right now.

  [to Jane via a wireless radio transmitter] 

  Jonas : It better be good.

  Jane : Now just relax. Cherry hat, Section 4, Row F.

  Jonas : [points to the elderly man]  You sir, in the brown jacket, I feel a burden you're carrying.

  Brown Jacket : Who-who, me?

  Jonas : Yes, sir. Now stand up and tell me if I'm hearing the Lord right. You're having a problem with your neighbor, am I right?

  Brown Jacket : I sure am.

  Jonas : Building a fence. Gonna harm your kids, right?

  Brown Jacket : Yes, sir.

  Jonas : Well, the Lord tells me...

  Jane : [on the bus watching the events on the TV monitors; impressed]  Amazing!

  Jonas : [continues]  ... is to make 'im your friend. You talk to him, and serve him up your best fried chicken...

  [to his wife with the cherry hat] 

  Jonas : because yours is the best in the county, ain't it ma'am?

  Woman with Cherries Hat : [excited]  You know it is!

  Jonas : Whoa boy, I'd love to get me some of that! Now come on up and thank the Lord for his saving!

• Jane : Will said he's got a surprise for you. Something about giving you enough rope.

  Jonas : Why you go tell him to go kick some shit! There's not enough rope in Kansas to hang this boy. Besides, wait till you see the pitch. I got a little surprise myself.

• Jonas : She wants me.

  Jane : [sarcastically]  Eh, yeah. I think you should stick with your bible-boinkers.

  Jonas : Jane, a woman is like a slingshot. The greater the resistance, the further you can get with 'em.

• [Will & Jonas are arguing] 

  Jane : Ooohh, a pissing contest, can I watch?

• Jane : So, what's new with Miss Congeniality?

  Jonas : Nothing. And I'm using all my "A" material. How could she not go for it? Everybody goes for it.

  Jane : So you strike out for once in your life. I mean, What do you care?

  Jonas : It's got me curious, now. It's like she's got fuming down to an art. Besides, it's a matter of principle, like a quest.

  Jane : Sort of a Holy Grail of road pussy kind of thing?

  Jonas : Eloquent as always.

• Jane : [Jonas gives Jane a new puppy]  What's his name?

  Jonas : Well, he's smart and hung like a moose. So, I kind of thought...

  Jane : Jack from Neptune!

  Jonas : Come on! Come on!

  Jane : I know, Jonas Junior.

  Jonas : Jonas! Jonas! He's a good boy, too!

• Jane : Try grovelling. It goes a long way with me.

• Jane : If Jonas was wearing pantyhose and pointing a rifle off the book depository, it wouldn't surprise me. But he's not! All he's doing is selling fairy tales to a bunch of people who thank him for it. And the last thing he needs is a judgmental asshole like you throwing his past up in his face.

• Jane : I just feel bad is all, these people are so broke.

  Jonas : Gee, Gidg, you feel bad for the poor people but you want to keep their money. What's a girl to do? Move to Kansas? Marry old Will and slop the hogs? Take it from me, babe, you can't have it both ways.

  Jane : I don't believe I defended you. I'm so sick and tired of manipulators.

  Jonas : Manipulators are sneaky! I'm obvious. And right!

• Jane : Jonas, have you had any sleep lately?

  Jonas : Too busy to sleep. Places to go and people to do.

• Will : I told you, I got a job to do.

  Jane : Doing your job is one thing. Trying to destroy a human being is another.

  Will : [chuckles]  Nuclear winter wouldn't destroy that man.

• Jane : Oh, screw you. I'm not the one giving out free samples.

• Sheriff Will Braverman : Did you ever think about settling down?

  Jane : My mother taught me never to settle.

• Jonas : Wow! You just really don't give a shit about anybody or anything, do you?

  Jane : Janey, I never pretended I did.

  Jane : God, you're right. You never did.
