Sheriff: You're that Tatum guy that was popping off over the phone last night! Charles Tatum: I wasn't popping off, Sheriff; I was threatening. "Play along with me and you'll get re-elected. Don't, and I'll crucify you," that's what I said, remember? Sheriff: I think I'll have my boys take you down to the county line and throw you out! Charles Tatum: Throw out your campaign manager? You need plenty of help. Sheriff: And maybe before I throw you out, I'll toss you into the 'Klink' for awhile!

Oh, you're that Tatum guy that was popping off over the phone last night. Not popping off, Sheriff. Just threatening. You play along with me, and I'll have you re-elected. You don't, and I'll crucify you. That's all I said. Remember? I think I'll have my boys take you to the county line and throw you out. Throw out your campaign manager? You need plenty of help, Kretzer. And maybe before I throw you out, I'll toss you in the clink for a while. Wasting your time on a rattlesnake hunt. - This is where the votes are. - What do you know about votes? There's seven here in Escudero, 700 up there. We had a big barbecue, and I made a speech. A good one too. Then we sat down to a little poker game and you started bothering me, right in the middle of a hand. What'd you have, pair of deuces? This is better. Here we've got an ace in the hole. I'll have a cup of coffee. - Two candy bars. - Couple hamburgers, please. How much are those Swiss cheese sandwiches? Come on, Mama. I need some help. We're swamped out here. Come on. Now, how's this, Sheriff? By tomorrow, I'll have your name all over the paper ‒ the man who rushed here at the first cry for help to direct the rescue operations. By Tuesday, everyone in the state will know you. Gus Kretzer, the tireless public servant who never spares himself. I'll pile it on every day. Six days of this, and I'll make you a hero.
