'''Dean:''' Oh, man, but I'll tell you what. He always liked you. He always liked you. In fact, he said that he's d never seen anybody better in a fight, and that is high praise coming from my old man.<br>

'''Sergei:''' Most wounds want to be healed, to be whole. But this, this wound is different. It goes down to his very soul. But also out into the world. From what I can tell, his soul, it's connected to something or someone somewhere. Except , as you probed deeper, you forced the soul to stretch from Sam's body to...<br>'''Elaine:''' Where?<br>'''Sergei:''' I don't know. But now it's like a rubber band. If it is stretched too far, too long, pop, it snaps, and Sam dies.

'''Lee:''' You really wanna want to do this?<br>

'''Sheriff DillionDillon:''' Dukes? Like "put up your dukes"?

'''Sheriff DillionDillon:''' Look, this is a small town. Angela's mom and dad passed a few years ago, but even before they did, she was talking about moving to L.A., trying to get on one of them competition shows, like the one with the "Knight Rider."

'''Sheriff DillionDillon:''' I stayed there a whole month. Oh, they don't know what they missed. I could've been the next Denzel.

'''Dean:''' Oh, God Bless bless Texas.

'''Dean:''' Okay. One, three bottles of Jaeger is nobody's friend, and "B," they were twins.<br>'''Lee:''' Oh, no, no, no, no.<br>'''Lorna:''' Oh.<br>'''Lee:''' Would you like Whoa, no, they were not twins.
