Wayne : [Wayne has goaded Deke into singing at the Buckhorn Tavern... Deke sings to keep peace, he turns to Wayne after he's finished] Well, you ain't bad, sideburns.
Jimmy Tompkins : Now tell me what it is you do for a living.
Wayne : I work with my old man in auto accessories, why?
Jimmy Tompkins : Well, I usually get paid for singin' as a rule. And I figure you oughta do whatever it is you do for me. So how 'bout steppin' outside and puttin' a new set of seatcovers on my car, huh?
Wayne : Why sure, sideburns! What color you want?
[turns to the people at his table]
Wayne : I figure his color's yellow, don't you?
[Deke pulls Wayne out of his seat and starts viciously beating him]

Jimmy Tompkins : It's not my future you care about, it's your's. It's what I can do for you. You don't care about me, or about Tex, or about anybody but yourself.

Wayne : [Wayne is trying to persuade Deke to sing at the Buckhorn tavern after being politely refused] Now I told my girl I could get you to sing! A man can't go back on his word, can he, fella?
Skeeter : [stands up] Look, maybe you didn't hear me... "fella", but Mr. Rivers doesn't sing in juke joints. So how about going back over there and drink your malted, huh?
Frank : [Wayne shoves Skeeter to the floor, girls gasp] Hey, are these music people causing some trouble here?
Jimmy Tompkins : [rushing up] There's no trouble, sir. You mind if I sing a song with these people here?
Frank : Well, uh...
Wayne : [interrupting] No, he don't mind!
[menacingly]
Wayne : Or do you Frank?
Frank : [stammering] No... I don't... mind.
[Deke sings "Mean Woman Blues"]
