Trials and Tribulations (2023)

Jessica Pohly: Agent Meyer

Quotes 

• Roy Tillman : Maybe you weren't paying attention, but I am the law around here.

  Agent Meyer : So you said.

  Roy Tillman : Removable only by the governor or my constituents, who love me, by the way, because I say what I want and I do what I please. And I know the difference between right and wrong.

  Agent Joaquin : Don't you mean legal and illegal?

  Roy Tillman : [chuckles]  Well... did you know in North Dakota, it is illegal for a charitable group to hold more than two poker games a year? And similarly, it is illegal to keep an elk in a sandbox in your own backyard, I shit you not. Now, if you were to own a tavern and serves beer and pretzels at the same time, I could arrest you. And in Waverly, the law forbids horses from sleeping in bathtubs. You beginning to get the drift here? I'm a sheriff of the American constitution. Bound by duty, blood, and tradition to enforce what is right and to prosecute what is wrong. And the law, my friends... has very little to do with it. So, Ja-queen, Mrs. Ja-queen, if you'll excuse me, I have some justice to administer.

• Gator Tillman : Freedom.

  Roy Tillman : Amen.

  Agent Meyer : You know, I hear that word a lot out here. I'm curious... what you think it means.

  Roy Tillman : Agent, if you don't know what freedom is, I don't think me saying the words out loud is gonna teach you.
