Ben: This is a good town? Jonesy: Tipton? Never worked it. Ben: Don't y'all have a regular, you know, like... Jonesy: Circuit? Ben: Yeah. Jonesy: Used to. Now it's just town by town, catch as catch can. That ain't hardly nothing. Ben: Since when? Jonesy: Since you showed up.
Mrs. Donovan: There's rules. You give life, you gotta take it from somewhere else. Could be an acre of wheat. Could be Walter's old bird dog, Jim. Could be that little girl you brought in here.
Lyle Donovan: (about the previous sheriff of Tipton) Last fellow fled out with the contingency fund, four Colts and a Thompson gun.
The sheriff is referring to a Thompson submachine gun, also known as a Tommy Gun, that was used during the Prohibition era and in gangster movies.
