Quotes:

Jimmy J. 'Little J' Teeters: Damn! Who turned out the lights? Just a little humor. Have to admit I'm funny, ain't I?

Father Time: Mister... I don't know you. But when I get through with you, won't nobody know you.

Colonel Graham: Jesse, did you know that this man is the last surviving member of the Mo-Tee-Sah tribe? Yes! The Mo-Tee-Sah tribe. I'll show you. [picks up coffee cup]::Weezie: [picks up coffee pot] Mo' Tea, sah?::Colonel Graham: I'm sorry I didn't hear you.::Weezie: Mo' Tea, sah?::Colonel Graham: No, thank you.

Father Time: The Red Man ain't got no problem with the Black Man. As for you, White Boy, that's a whole different story. I mean, first you enslave the Black Man, exploit the Yellow Man, and then you kill off the Red Man so you can snatch up his land for railroads. Can I get a witness?::Obobo: Amen!::Jimmy J. 'Little J' Teeters: Well if I may approach the bench your Honor, first, I ain't ever personally enslaved nobody so, Time, you can kiss my White ass. Second of all, if there was a train coming through right now, I'd be on it and you'd be on it,except the only difference would be, I'd be gambling on it and you'd be fetching my chips like a little houseboy becuase you can't even cheat right. Now, can I get a witness?::Obobo: Amen!

• Doubletree - Jeffrey Foucault

The snow falls on the passes
And it covers up the rails
And the hired men ride up to make them clean
It's a winter camp and a frozen damp
And a shovel in your hand
And a coal train comes rumbling through the seam
That morning came up shining
Clear and sharp as broken glass
We were riding for the tracks at Sugaree
All holler and high spirit
And the devil take the last
And Henry lay a wager then to me
He said "I've got five dollars
and a whiskey at the bar
says I make the tracks ahead of you"
So we touched our horses up
Sent them running down the hill
And I did something I never meant to do
Well I cut hard behind him
From his blind side I come around
Just as we were going down the scree
I only meant to scare him but he tumbled to the ground
And he broke his neck beneath the doubletree
So you take him cut him out in a length of pine
Lay him out in a suit of clothes
Best that you can find
Lay his body gentle in the ground
And say a prayer for Henry
Before you lay him down
The night before poor Henry died
We slept on open ground
The circus of the stars a blaze of white
Henry was the best friend that I ever had
