Ulysses Ulee Jackson : There's all kinds of weakness in the world, not all of it is evil. I forget that from time to time.

Ulysses Ulee Jackson : Once you're better, I don't care what you do. But you're not moving until all that poison's out of your body. Even if only for a day.
Helen Jackson : Oh, man. You always think you know, don't you?
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : Well, I know better than to run from responsibility.
Helen Jackson : Is that right?
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : Right.
Helen Jackson : There's all kinds of running, Ulee. Your body might have stuck around, and that lousy bully part of your mind, but your heart took off a long time ago.
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : Oh, you can't say that. That's not true.
Helen Jackson : Maybe you're right. Maybe you never cared anything about anybody. Year after year, nothing touches Ulee!
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : No. No, it was you and Jimmy wanted too many shortcuts. I told Jimmy if he went down that road, I wouldn't lift a finger to help him. And you both managed major fuck-ups!
Connie Hope : Ulee, come on.
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : I mean, who the hell are you, Mrs. Helen Jackson? A mother? Wife? No, you're nothing!
Connie Hope : Come on.
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : And we don't need the whole damn world knowing what's going on in our house.

Chance Barrow : So he says to me, I just soon they cut and stay off just north of Orlando. And let the bottom half go, right out into the Gulf. Say it didn't sound like such a bad idea...
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : Fair enough on the uh, Bakery Bridge, Chance. I want 92 for the Tupelo.
Chance Barrow : Ulee!
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : I could sell it myself... Fact is I've been thinking of doing just that.
Chance Barrow : Can you expect by next Thursday?
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : I can give you 39 barrels, I'll keep the rest...
Chance Barrow : You're not workin' as many bees these days, can you deliver?
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : I said 30. I'm ready.
Chance Barrow : Well - it's gonna be a good year. At least as long as they can keep the Chinese from dumping their honey.
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : The Chinese don't have anything like our Tupelo.
Chance Barrow : Ulee, most folks don't seem to care any more. The cheap honey floods the market.
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : The bees and I have an understanding. I take care of them, and they take care of me. We both just have to work a little harder, that's all.
-

Connie Hope : You're an old fashioned 'ties that bind' kinda guy. Whatever happens you stay the course, isn't that right?
Ulysses Ulee Jackson : Miss Hope... I'm just realizing I don't know enough about anything to say nothin'.
