• Megan : What are we ever gonna do with you, baby girl?

  Ree : Kill me I guess.

  Megan : That idea's been said already. Got any others?

  Ree : Help me. Nobody's said that idea yet, have they?

• Ree : You always have scared me.

  Teardrop : That's cuz you're smart.

• [last lines] 

  Sonny : Are you wanting to leave us?

  Ree : I'd be lost without the weight of you two on my back. I ain't goin' anywhere.

  Ashlee : [wrestles up the banjo and starts plucking] 

• Sonny : [on gutting a squirrel]  Do we eat these parts?

  Ree : [grimly]  Not yet...

• Sheriff Baskin : I didn't shoot the other night cuz you were there in the truck. He never backed me down.

  Ree : It looked to me like he did.

  Sheriff Baskin : Don't you let me hear that's a story gettin' around.

  Ree : I don't talk much about you, man. Ever.

• Gail : [after asking her husband to let her use his truck]  He said no.

  Ree : Did you tell him I'd spring for gas?

  Gail : I told him. He still won't.

  Ree : Why not?

  Gail : He never says why not to me, Ree, he just says no.

  Ree : Man, it's so sad to hear you say he won't let you do somethin' and then you *don't* do it.

  Gail : It's different once you're married.

  Ree : It really must be. 'Cause you ain't never used to eat no shit.

• Ree : This fella with the money have a name?

  Satterfield : Shit no. Probably left that in his other pants.

• Ree : What I really can't stand is the way I feel ashamed... for dad.

  Teardrop : Well, he loved y'all. That's where he went weak.

• Ree : He might be hangin' around with Little Arthur and them. You think?

  Teardrop : You don't wanna go around Little Arthur's askin' them people about anything they ain't offered to talk about. That's a real good way to end up et by hogs... or wishin' you was.

• Ree : [to Blond, after visiting a meth lab where her father allegedly died]  God damn you. You must think I'm a stupid idiot. There's weeds growing chin high in that place. It must have been a year since that place blew.

• Satterfield : Look, I don't want to kick your dad's ass, all right? I just want to keep the judge off mine.

  Ree : Dad's dead. He didn't show for court 'cause he's lyin' dead somewhere.

  Satterfield : When was the last time you saw him?

  Ree : A couple weeks.

  Satterfield : Who's he running around with? Where they all hanging out?

  Ree : He doesn't tell me that stuff, sir.

  Satterfield : Now, you know I got the legal right to go in there hunting the man, anyplace I want.

  Ree : I know you'd be wasting your time and pissing me off. Jessup Dolly is dead. He's lying in a crappy grave somewhere to become piles of shit in a hog pen. Maybe he's been left out plain in the open. But wherever he is, he's there dead.

  Satterfield : And you know this how?

  Ree : You must have heard what Dollys are, ain't you, mister?

  Satterfield : Well, I've heard what some are anyhow, and I have bonded a few.

  Ree : I'm a Dolly, bread and buttered, and that's how I know dad's dead.

• Merab : One of my nephews is Buster Leroy. Didn't he shoot your daddy one time?

  Ree : Yes, but that's got nothin' to do with me. They settle that stuff themselves, don't they?

  Merab : Shootin' him likely settled it.

• Blond Milton : Ree, I know losing Jessup leaves y'all hurting over there. I know it's a lot to handle.

  Ree : We'll make do.

  Blond Milton : Sonya and me talked about it. We feel we could take Sonny off your hands. Not Ashlee, I don't reckon, but we could take Sonny.

  Ree : You what?

  Blond Milton : We could take him and raise him up the rest of the way.

  Ree : My ass you will.

  Blond Milton : We'd raise that boy way better than you and that nutjob mama of yours can. Maybe on down the line, we'd take Ashlee, too.

  Ree : You go straight to hell, you son of a bitch. Sonny and Ashlee will die living in a cave with me and mama before they spend one night with you.

• Satterfield : I'm Mike Satterfield, A1 Bonds.

  Ree : What is it you want?

  Satterfield : We hold the bond on Jessup Dolly. Now he's a runner, it looks like.

  Ree : Dad ain't no runner.

  Satterfield : He didn't show for court. That makes him a runner.

• Teardrop : Those pills

  [drugs] 

  Teardrop : helping your mama's mood any?

  Ree : She keeps takin' 'em. But they aint workin'.

• Blond Milton : This right here is the last place me or anybody seen Jessup.

  Ree : He never blew no lab before.

  Blond Milton : I know, but something must have jumped wrong this time.

  Ree : He's known for never fucking up labs or cooking bad batches. He's known for knowing what he's doing.

  Blond Milton : Well, you cook long enough, this is bound to happen.

  Ree : You're sayin' dad's up there burnt to a crisp?

  Blond Milton : That's what I'm saying.

  Ree : [starting to climb out of the truck]  I'm going up there for a look.

  Blond Milton : [pulling her back]  No! That shit's poison. It'll rip the skin off your bones.

  Ree : If dad's up there, I'm bringing him home to bury.

• Ree : You always have scared me.

  Teardrop : That's 'cause you're smart.

• Ree : He ain't gon' say nothing to me?

  Merab : If you're listening, child, you got your answer.

  Ree : [waking her]  Ashlee Dawn...

  Ashlee : Hmmm?

  [to her brother] 

  Ashlee : Wake up...
