- [during a barroom fight with Lipp, a former prizefighter, Dave kicks the boxer in the face]
- Denny Lipp: That's against the rules!
- Dave Blassingame: This ain't a game!
- Denny Lipp: Where's your lady friend?
- Dave Blassingame: She ain't goin'.
- Denny Lipp: All that noble gallantry gone to waste. Well, I tried to warn you. Knowing what she is, you should have...
- Dave Blassingame: I know what you made her. You left your mark on a lot of people, I guess. My dad used to tell me that women must be God's favorites, 'cause he made them finer than anything else in creation.
- Dave Blassingame: I didn't forget a verse you taught me once. It went, ah... I go up into heaven and you're there / And if I make my bed in hell, you're there / And if I take up the wings in morning, um, I guess I forgot...
- Jeff: If I take the wings of morning and dwell in the outermost parts of the sea / Even there shall thy hand lead me... and I will praise thee... for I am wonderfully made.
- Denny Lipp: You're a bad loser, Mr. Blassingame.
- [Dave punches Lipp in the face]
- Dave Blassingame: I surely am.

- Dave Blassingame: Have you?
- Glorie: Yes I have!
