"First, we got to call your dad." "Quincannon:" "All right, now." "Listen up." "Now, the packinghouse is gonna be right over there." "All right." "You got your cooling, cutting, deboning."

"Well, they're tearing it down." "What?" "!" "Preacher, he... he gave it to Mr. Quincannon." "Well, at least, he was supposed to." "He gave it?" "Apparently, they, uh, they had a verbal agreement." "You mean the bet?" "A verbal agreement." "And it is unorthodox, but it is binding." "I mean, Mr. Quincannon had me look into it, and, well... well, sure enough, I mean, there are municipal statutes that go back to the 1800s, so..." "W-W-What are you looking for?" "My sneakers." "By the window." "I washed them and set them out to dry." "You washed my sneakers?" "You're going to the church." "Yep." "I don't think that's a good idea." "Well, I'm going anyway."
