Flamingo Road

Sheriff Titus Semple:
Now me, I never forget anything.

Lane Bellamy:
You know sheriff; we had an elephant in our carnival with a memory like that. He went after a keeper that he'd held a grudge against for almost 15 years. Had to be shot. You just wouldn't believe how much trouble it is to dispose of a dead elephant.

Sheriff Titus Semple:
Ya can't go wrong in this town if you say Yep to the right people and Nope to the rest.

Lane Bellamy:
I don't have to go like this, I've got better clothes.

Lane Bellamy:
I'm not a carnival girl anymore!

Sheriff Titus Semple:
Sure been actin' like it with young Carlisle.

Dan Reynolds:
[Kisses Lane Bellamy, then holds her in an embrace while saying the following] "I'm just crazy about you... what's your last name?"

Fielding Carlisle:
It's kinda hard not to do your own worrying.

Fielding Carlisle:
Well, I've gotta go do something official.

Fielding Carlisle:
All sheriffs gotta wear this kind of hat. Otherwise, people wouldn't know they were the law.

Lane Bellamy:
You know something? I bet you make a lousy sheriff.

Sheriff Titus Semple:
A man going into the legislature should have a heart of gold and a respectable wife.

Fielding Carlisle:
The only spring in the state guarantied to have no therapeutic value.

Fielding Carlisle:
Just trying to do what's right. It must be right, otherwise it wouldn't be so hard to do.

Lute Mae Sanders:
[about Lane Bellamy] I like her. And knowing you don't, makes me like her twice as much.

Lute Mae Sanders:
I never read the paper. If I don't know what's going on, I don't have to worry about it.

Lane Bellamy:
When I was very young, I made up my mind to be rich.

Lute Mae Sanders:
How'd you make out?

Lane Bellamy:
I thought it was better to change my mind.

Sheriff Titus Semple:
I've never been able to make up my mind if you're awful smart, or awful stupid.

Dan Reynolds:
[about Sheriff Titus Semple] Left alone, he'd steal the gold off the capital dome.

Sheriff Titus Semple:
The only way to tell what a mule and a man can do, is to give him a field and a plow.

Sheriff Titus Semple:
I plucked a goose here and there, but nobody could find a feather.

Doc Waterson:
I don't think our form of government is so bad that honest men can't run it.
