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.

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.

Gail: [about borrowing her husband's 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, that’s so sad to hear you say he won’t let you do something, 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.

Teardrop: You ought not do that. Don’t go running after Jessup. Show or don’t show that choice is up to the one going to jail, not you. Ree: You know where he’s at, don’t you? Teardrop: Where a man’s at ain’t necessarily for you to know neither. Ree: But you do... Teardrop: I ain’t seen him. Ree: Could be running around with Little Arthur and them, you think? Teardrop: Don’t you ever go down around Little Arthur’s asking them people about shit they ain’t offering to talk about. That’s a real good way to end up et by hogs, or wishing you was. Ree: We’re all related ain’t we? Teardrop: Our relations get watered kinda thin between here and Little Arthur’s. Victoria: You know all those people, Teardrop. You could ask. Teardrop: Shut up. Victoria: None of them’s gonna be in a great big hurry to tangle with you. Teardrop: I said shut up once already with my mouth. Ree: Jesus, Dad’s your only brother. Teardrop: You think I forgot that? Hmm? Jessup and me run together for coming on forty years

Little Arthur: You want a line? Ree: No. Little Arthur: You wanna blow some smoke? Ree: No. Little Arthur: Then I guess I got nothing for you. [He waves his hand to dismiss them] Go on!
