Quotes 

• Sheriff Singer : I don't get you. I don't get your act at all, and I don't think you do either. I don't think you know what you're trying to do or how to go about it. I think you're stupid. Real stupid and real lucky. Last night you scraped by, just barely; but a man's dead on account of something you let get started even though you didn't start it.

• Sheriff Singer : [to Johnny]  Don't you want to say anything to these people? What's a matter? You been hit on the head so often, you don't know when you're getting a break? At least say thank you.

  [Nods to Sheriff Bleeker and Kathie] 

  Kathie Bleeker : It's all right. He doesn't know how.

• Sheriff Singer : [referring to Johnny]  You haven't fallen for this fellow, have you?

  Kathie Bleeker : No. No, I couldn't.

• Sheriff Singer : I don't know if there's any good in you. I don't know if there's anything in you. But, I'm gonna take a big fat chance... and let you go.

• Sheriff Singer : Okay, hotshots, the fun is over. Every one of you monkeys is down in my book, and all the damage will be paid for. You've got 10 minutes to clear out. Just stick your nose back in this county, any of you, and you'll never see daylight again as long as you live. Now, git.

• Sheriff Singer : All right. We'll find out what happened. Round up everybody on a motorcycle. Pick up all the witnesses you can find.
