  • Miss Mona : Me jumpin' up and down? I'd black both my eyes!

  • Miss Mona : Well, I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give 'em yours!

  • Miss Mona : You know, it's always a business doing pleasure with you, Charlie!

  • Miss Mona : Don't feel sorry for me. I started out poor, and I worked my way up to outcast.

  • Miss Mona : I couldn't be a ballerina now. I'm too top-heavy. I have a hard enough time balancin' these things now without gettin' on my toes!

  • Miss Mona : Well, one of those nights when you ain't on duty, you drop in out there. My girls'll love to show you a little appreciation.

    Deputy Fred : Shoot, Miss Mona - you know I'm a married man!

    Miss Mona : Oh, Fred, you mean to tell me you don't think the cows don't appreciate the time off when a bull goes over to another pasture?

  • Miss Mona : You know what burns my ass?

    Ed Earl : What?

    Miss Mona : A flame about three feet high!

  • [On space aliens] 

    Ed Earl : I saw a picture once, of them fellers from, you know, that's supposed to be from up there? Fly around? Tiny little fellers. Bald-headed, little feet, little hands - got no peckers.

    Miss Mona : Got no peckers?

    [Ed shakes his head no] 

    Miss Mona : Well, I ain't interested. I don't think my girls would be either!

  • Miss Mona : Now that's what the little silver snaps are for.

  • Miss Mona : Ed Earl, I think the best thing to do is to put this behind us, just as quick as we can. I've made a little money, I've laughed some, I've danced to the music... it's just time to pay the fiddler, that's all.

  • Miss Mona : [singing]  It's just a little bitty pissant country place, ain't nothing much to see. / No drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd.

  • Miss Mona : Well fine! Then I'm getting dressed and going home!

    Ed Earl : Well fine! I'm going into the bathroom and... put this on.

  • Miss Mona : The best part?

  • Miss Mona : You ain't never gonna be no more than you are right now: a chicken-shit sheriff in a chicken-shit town!

    Ed Earl : You may be right, but it's a hell of a lot better than being a whore.
