I'm gonna visit those foreclosing son-of-a-guns at the Indianola Savings & Loan, slap that money on the barrelhead and buy back the family farm. You ain't no kind of man if you ain't got land.
Since we been followin' your lead, we ain't got nothing but trouble.
Pete: Well I'll be a sonofabitch. Delmar's been saved.Delmar O'Donnell: Well that's it, boys. I've been redeemed. The preacher's done warshed away all my sins and transgressions. It's the straight and narrow from here on out, and heaven everlasting's my reward.Ulysses Everett McGill: Delmar, what are you talking about? We've got bigger fish to fry.Delmar O'Donnell: The preacher says all my sins is warshed away, including that Piggly Wiggly I knocked over in Yazoo.Ulysses Everett McGill: I thought you said you was innocent of those charges?Delmar O'Donnell: Well I was lyin'. And the preacher says that that sin's been warshed away too. Neither God nor man's got nothin' on me now. C'mon in boys, the water is fine.
Pete: The Preacher said it absolved us.Ulysses Everett McGill: For him, not for the law. I'm surprised at you, Pete, I gave you credit for more brains than Delmar.Delmar O'Donnell: But they was witnesses that seen us redeemed.Ulysses Everett McGill: That's not the issue Delmar. Even if that did put you square with the Lord, the State of Mississippi's a little more hard-nosed.Ulysses Everett McGill: Baptism! You two are just dumber than a bag of hammers!
