• Sheriff Earl Hawkins : Well there they be, son. Jonah and Jonah, Jr. They're so old they can't remember who's pappy and who's the son. They're weird and full of superstition. Burying a dead animal on their land can cause the cows to give bloody milk... or bring on a swarm of locusts.

  Sheriff Earl Hawkins : [answering]  Hello? Sheriff Hawkins.

  Belle Delongpre : Earl, it's me.

  Sheriff Earl Hawkins : Belle! How are you? It's been a long time.

  Sheriff Earl Hawkins : We're talking about $32,000 per year for tuition, room and board. But it ain't gonna cost me a penny, no siree. Because around here, thank the Lord, because we have people around here who support outstanding achivement. By the way, you know who Little Richard is?

  Sheriff Earl Hawkins : I remember that he used to ride around here in his Cadillac always blazing hell. It got so bad that the local judge had to throw his back ass out of this county and told him never to come back. What I am trying to say son is that not much goes on around this here county that I don't know about.
