Cliff: We got cenizo, that's purple sage, agave, nopal... What's that stuff? Yeah that's it, that's whatchamacallit. That's horse crippler.
Mikey: This place is a gold mine.
Cliff: Lead mine.
Anglo Mother: Now, you people can believe whatever you want... but when it comes to teaching...
Mexican-American Mother: They're our children too. As the majority in this community, we have the right!
Anglo Mother: The men who founded this state have the right to have their story told!
Mexican-American Father: The men who founded this state broke from Mexico! Because they needed slavery to be legal to make a fortune in the cotton business.
Pilar: I think that's a bit of an oversimplification.
Anglo Father: You reporting or running this meeting?
Mexican-American Father: Adding some historical perspective.
Anglo Father: You call it history, I call it propaganda! I'm sure they've got their own account of the Alamo on the other side... but our schools shouldn't teach it that way!
Pilar: Excuse me. I've only been trying to get across part of the complexity of our situation here. Cultures coming together in both negative and positive ways.
Anglo Mother: If you mean food and music and all, I have no problem. But when you start changing... who did what to who...
Mexican-American Father: We're not changing anything. We're just trying to present a more complete picture.
Anglo Mother: That's what's got to stop!
Sheriff Sam Deeds: You know, if you figure minimum wage... on the time most thieves spend in jail... they could have bought most everything they stole.
Ben: This is Skinny.
Sam: Skinny?
Ben: When we find a body, it's Skinny or Stinky. Depends on how much meat's left on the bones.
Sam: That's a nice job.
Sam: Mrs. Bledsoe?... I'm Sheriff Deeds.
Mrs. Bledsoe: Sheriff Deeds is dead, honey. You're just Sheriff Junior.
Sam: Yeah, that's the story of my life.
Cliff: They gonna be cool about you being a white guy?
Mikey: Priscilla says they think a woman over 30 who's not married must be a lesbian. She figures they'll be so relieved I'm a man...
Cliff: It's always heartwarming to see a prejudice defeated by a deeper prejudice. But marriage, man, I don't know.
Sam: Well, you folks who remember my father... knew him as sheriff. But at home he was also judge, jury... and executioner.
Sam: I spent my first 15 years trying to be just like Buddy. The next 15 trying to give him a heart attack.
Pilar: Nobody stays in love for 23 years...
Pilar: What are we going to do about this?
Sam: More... I hope.
Delmore Payne: Do you believe in what we do in here, Private?
Athena Johnson: I can do the job, sir.
Delmore Payne: What exactly do you think your job is?
Athena Johnson: Follow orders, do whatever they say.
Delmore Payne: Who's "they"?
Athena Johnson: The officers.
Delmore Payne: And that's the job? Nothing about serving your country?... These are not trick questions, Private Johnson. ... I'm just trying to understand... how someone like you thinks.
Athena Johnson: You really want to know?
Delmore Payne: Please.
Athena Johnson: It's their country. This is one of the best deals they offer.
Delmore Payne: How do you think I got to be a colonel?
Athena Johnson: Being good at your job. Doing what they tell you.
Delmore Payne: Do what they tell you?
Athena Johnson: I mean, follow orders, sir.
Delmore Payne: With your attitude, Private... I'm surprised you want to stay in the service.
Athena Johnson: I do, sir.
Delmore Payne: Because it's a job?
Athena Johnson: Outside it's such a mess. It's...
Delmore Payne: Chaos. Why do you think... they let us in on the deal?
Athena Johnson: 'Cause they got people to fight: Arabs, yellow people, whatever. Might as well use us.
Delmore Payne: It works like this, Private. Every soldier in the war doesn't have to believe... in what he's fighting for. Most of them fight just to back up the other soldiers in their squad. You try not to get them killed. You try not to get them extra duty. You try not embarrass yourself... in front of them. Why don't you start with that?
Otis: Time went on... people liked the story we told... better than what the truth might have been.
Hollis: Word gets out who the body was... people'll think Buddy done it.
Sam: Buddy's a goddamn legend. He can handle it.
Sam: If I met you... for the first time today... I'd still want to be with you.
