[The Walkin' Dude visits Lloyd in his prison cell.]

Lloyd Henreid:
Can you let me outta here, mister? I'll do anything you want.

Randall Flagg:
You poor guy. You look like ka-ka! [giggles] Tell me something, Lloyd-

Lloyd Henreid:
How do you know my name?

Randall Flagg:
Lucky guess. How'd you stay alive so long?

Lloyd Henreid:
I saw it coming down, and I saved up some food, that's how.

[Flagg points to Lloyd's cot, and the mattress pulls itself up, revealing a partially-eaten rat.]

Randall Flagg:
Brer Rat, how'd he taste?

Lloyd Henreid:
[snivelling] Poke should be here, not me! Everything was Poke's idea!

Randall Flagg:
And you got stuck with nothin' to eat but Rat Tartar.

. . .

Randall Flagg:
Oh! I never even introduced myself, did I? Pleased to meet you, Lloyd. Hope you guess my name.

Lloyd Henreid:
Huh?

Randall Flagg:
Oh, uh… nothing. Just a little classical reference.

⇒ "Pleased to meet you / Hope you guess my name" are two lines from the chorus of The Rolling Stones' song "Sympathy for the Devil".

    I knew when I watched this movie that it was a reference to A. The Rolling Stones, and more importantly, B - The Devil..... If you hear someone say that to you DO NOT try to guess their name - it's bad vuggum...
