He's not bluffing.::Dr. Sam Johnson: Listen to him, men. He's just crazy enough to do it!::Bart: [low voice] Drop it! Or I swear I'll blow this nigger's head all over this town!::Bart: [high-pitched voice] Oh, lo'dy, lo'd, he's desp'it! Do what he sayyyy, do what he sayyyy!::[Townspeople drop their guns. Bart jams the gun into his neck and drags himself through the crowd towards the station]::Harriet Johnson: Isn't anybody going to help that poor man?::Dr. Sam Johnson: Hush, Harriet!

Bart: Are we awake?::Jim: We're not sure. Are we... black?::Bart: Yes, we are.::Jim: Then we're awake... but we're very puzzled.

Lili Von Shtupp: [singing] Here I stand, the goddess of desire / Set men on fire / I have this power. / Morning, noon, and night, it's dwink and dancing / Some quick womancing / And then a shower. / Stage door Johnnies constantly suwwound me / They always hound me, with one wequest. / Who can satisfy their lustful habits? / I'm not a wabbit. / I need some we... [Takes a breath]... est.

Church Congregation: [singing] Now is a time of great decision/Are we to stay or up and quit?/There's no avoiding this conclusion/Our town is turning into shit.

Mexican Bandit: Badges? We don't need no stinking badges.

[Jim downs a bottle of whiskey in one long guzzle]::Bart: A man drink like that and he don't eat, he is going to DIE.::Jim: [eagerly] When?

Bart: Mornin', ma'am. And isn't it a lovely mornin'?::Elderly Woman: Up yours, nigger.
