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!

[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 : 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 : 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.
