• Warren Maxwell : Forget about my rheumatis! Don't do this! Don't do that! It gits worse, whatever I do or quit doin'!

  Brownlee : Sleepin' with one of them naked, Mexican dogs - they say, dreams the rheumatis right out of the man into the dog.

  Warren Maxwell : Yes?

  Doc Redfield : A nigger's just as good. One of them will dream off the rheumatis as good as any naked dog. Of course, you'll have to have that nigger sort of curl up around your feet and then you got to *press* hard and kindly force the rheumatis right out in the soles.

  Warren Maxwell : That's right interestin'.

• Hammond Maxwell : You mean that white lady will pleasure with that nigger?

  Brownlee : That's a German widow and German ladies can never get pleasure enough.

• Brownlee : [to a slave]  Shut down your pants. Bend over.

  Warren Maxwell : You're wastin' your time. He ain't got hemorrhoids.

  Warren Maxwell : My Pa never altered a nigger. No... On this planation, there's no altered horse, no nigger.

• Brownlee : Do you have any religion for yer niggers, Mr. Maxwell?

  Warren Maxwell : Hell no! The more religion they's gits, the ornerier they gits. Harder to drive.

• Prostitute : I've been servin' and pleasurin' old men all day. But, I've been watchin' your baby face ever since you came in, plannin' how I was gonna get to you.

  Hammond Maxwell : I ain't feelin' good, lady,

  Prostitute : Oh, well, I can fix that, honey. All over.

  Brownlee : Hey, you do that all over stuff?

  Prostitute : For somebody like him, mmmm.

  Hammond Maxwell : I reckon not, lady. I'm on my honeymoon.

  Prostitute : Oh, well that's when a gentleman needs good lovin' the most!

  Brownlee : He's got the prettiest little piece for a bride back at the hotel, just waitin' there, layin' there!

  Prostitute : Oh, but I can show him things his bride don't dream and they do it on Mars where they got creatures with - six arms and four mouths.

• Brownlee : [opening line]  How much for this wench and sucker?

  Warren Maxwell : She ought to be worth six hundred and fifty.

  Brownlee : That's too much. I can't get more than seven for 'em in New Orleans.
