Dewey Barksdale: I still think I'd better talk to your Papa.
Bobbie Lee Hartley: You ready to speak to Billy Joe's papa too? He's in Vicksburg, you know.
Dewey Barksdale: Yeah, I know. I - sure was hoping to spare him that, you know.
Bobbie Lee Hartley: Well, my Papa would speak to him for you. After all, there is my good name and reputation to be considered. The best that could happen to you would be a jail term, I guess.
Dewey Barksdale: You thought it all out, haven't you?
Bobbie Lee Hartley: Pretty much. I can't see piling new hurts on top of an already hurtful situation. I mean, we can't have people believin' that Billy Joe McAllister jumped off the bridge because of a man, can we? This way, people will think there is a baby somewhere. Something to show for all our trouble. And maybe I'll get to believing that too.
Dewey Barksdale: I tried to tell him that it probably would never happen again.
Bobbie Lee Hartley: I guess he didn't believe you
