Bobbie Lee Hartley: My Papa's never gonna understand.
Dewey Barksdale: He might.
Bobbie Lee Hartley: You're gonna kill Billy Joe all over again and yourself besides.
Dewey Barksdale: I guess he told you.
Bobbie Lee Hartley: He did, but he didn't mention any names. It's nice that you stepped forward, but I don't see much sense in that. It's best you just let it be.
Dewey Barksdale: I don't follow that.
Bobbie Lee Hartley: Billy Joe's on his way to becoming a legend. He made a desirable girl pregnant and then just flew away. It takes a lot to become a legend. Sometimes even takes your life. Billy Joe's already paid that price. There's no reason for him not to collect on somethin' of value for his efforts.
Dewey Barksdale: Why should you pay too?
Bobbie Lee Hartley: Oh, I don't mind. It's kind of dangerous. Like in those magazines. "And she went to Switzerland to have a baby... and it looked like him"
Dewey Barksdale: He might.
