- Sheriff Baskin: I didn't shoot the other night cuz you were there in the truck. He never backed me down.
- Ree: It looked to me like he did.
- Sheriff Baskin: Don't you let me hear that's a story gettin' around.
- Ree: I don't talk much about you, man. Ever.
- Gail: [after asking her husband to let her use his truck] He said no.
- Ree: Did you tell him I'd spring for gas?
- Gail: I told him. He still won't.
- Ree: Why not?
- Gail: He never says why not to me, Ree, he just says no.
- Ree: Man, it's so sad to hear you say he won't let you do somethin' and then you *don't* do it.
- Gail: It's different once you're married.
- Ree: It really must be. 'Cause you ain't never used to eat no shit.
- Teardrop: [addressing Baskin, who has pulled him over, in the rearview mirror] Is this gonna be our time?
- Ree: This fella with the money have a name?
- Satterfield: Shit no. Probably left that in his other pants.
- Ree: [to Blond, after visiting a meth lab where her father allegedly died] God damn you. You must think I'm a stupid idiot. There's weeds growing chin high in that place. It must have been a year since that place blew.
- Satterfield: Look, I don't want to kick your dad's ass, all right? I just want to keep the judge off mine.
- Ree: Dad's dead. He didn't show for court 'cause he's lyin' dead somewhere.
- Satterfield: When was the last time you saw him?
- Ree: A couple weeks.
- Satterfield: Who's he running around with? Where they all hanging out?
- Ree: He doesn't tell me that stuff, sir.
- Satterfield: Now, you know I got the legal right to go in there hunting the man, anyplace I want.
- Ree: I know you'd be wasting your time and pissing me off. Jessup Dolly is dead. He's lying in a crappy grave somewhere to become piles of shit in a hog pen. Maybe he's been left out plain in the open. But wherever he is, he's there dead.
- Satterfield: And you know this how?
- Ree: You must have heard what Dollys are, ain't you, mister?
- Satterfield: Well, I've heard what some are anyhow, and I have bonded a few.
- Ree: I'm a Dolly, bread and buttered, and that's how I know dad's dead.
- Blond Milton: Ree, I know losing Jessup leaves y'all hurting over there. I know it's a lot to handle.
- Ree: We'll make do.
- Blond Milton: Sonya and me talked about it. We feel we could take Sonny off your hands. Not Ashlee, I don't reckon, but we could take Sonny.
- Ree: You what?
- Blond Milton: We could take him and raise him up the rest of the way.
- Ree: My ass you will.
- Blond Milton: We'd raise that boy way better than you and that nutjob mama of yours can. Maybe on down the line, we'd take Ashlee, too.
- Ree: You go straight to hell, you son of a bitch. Sonny and Ashlee will die living in a cave with me and mama before they spend one night with you.
- Satterfield: I'm Mike Satterfield, A1 Bonds.
- Ree: What is it you want?
- Satterfield: We hold the bond on Jessup Dolly. Now he's a runner, it looks like.
- Ree: Dad ain't no runner.
- Satterfield: He didn't show for court. That makes him a runner.
- Blond Milton: This right here is the last place me or anybody seen Jessup.
- Ree: He never blew no lab before.
- Blond Milton: I know, but something must have jumped wrong this time.
- Ree: He's known for never fucking up labs or cooking bad batches. He's known for knowing what he's doing.
- Blond Milton: Well, you cook long enough, this is bound to happen.
- Ree: You're sayin' dad's up there burnt to a crisp?
- Blond Milton: That's what I'm saying.
- Ree: [starting to climb out of the truck] I'm going up there for a look.
- Blond Milton: [pulling her back] No! That shit's poison. It'll rip the skin off your bones.
- Ree: If dad's up there, I'm bringing him home to bury.
