Noah Cullen: Pineville's south, I don't go south. John 'Joker' Jackson: I used to know a girl in Pineville, if she's still there we get this broke now come on. Noah Cullen: And then what?

Noah Cullen: You married to me alright Joker. Now here's the ring [holds up the chains] but I ain't goin' south on no honeymoon now!
