Quotes
-
Sheriff Rosco Coltrane : [on police radio] Enos, this is Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane. I got them Duke boys this time! I really got 'em! We're gonna come down on those turkeys like a load of dead chickens!
[snickers]
Sheriff Rosco Coltrane : I love it, I love it!
The Balladeer : [voice-over] Now Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane would rather catch himself a Duke than to go to heaven when he dies. Some folks tend to lose their perspective like that.
-
Boss Hogg : [in his office, exercising with a pair of dumbbells, frustrated at Rosco and Enos for making yet another mistake] You know, I sure can't figure out why I bought these here dumbbells when I already have two working for me.
Sheriff Rosco Coltrane : [trying to explain] Uh, boss, you see...
Boss Hogg : [interrupting him] Never mind! As County Commissioner, I hereby relieve you both of all your duties. Turn in them badges.
Sheriff Rosco Coltrane : [believing he did nothing wrong] Uh boss now listen, why should I turn in my badge?
[points at Enos, standing beside him]
Sheriff Rosco Coltrane : It was dipstick Enos's fault for letting them Duke boys escape - for a bucket of chicken! He still even smells 'Finger Lickin' Good'!
[Boss Hogg sniffs and drops dumbbells on Rosco's feet]
Enos : [willing to accept the blame] Sheriff's right Mr. Hogg. I'm the one who ought to lose my badge...
[gesturing to Rosco]
Enos : ... not him.
Sheriff Rosco Coltrane : You see! You see that? You see...
Boss Hogg : [knowing Rosco and Enos are both incompetent] Rosco, all I can see is Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
Enos : [confused] Tweedle...
Sheriff Rosco Coltrane : [glares at Enos, cutting him off] Dumb. You're dumb.
