The second one, it was like we was both back in older times and I was on horseback goin' through the mountains of a night. Goin' through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground and he rode past me and kept on goin'. Never said nothin' goin' by. He just rode on past -- and he had his blanket wrapped around him and his head down and when he rode past I seen he was carryin' fire in a horn the way people used to do and I could see the horn from the light inside of it. 'Bout the color of the moon.

And then I woke up --"

Tommy Lee Jones as Ed Tom Bell

• (Tommy Lee Jones) "I was sheriff of this county when I was twenty-five years old. Hard to believe. My grandfather was a lawman; father too. Me and him was sheriffs at the same time; him up in Plano and me out here. I think he's pretty proud of that. I know I was. Some of the old time sheriffs never even wore a gun. A lotta folks find that hard to believe. Jim Scarborough'd never carried one; that's the younger Jim. Gaston Boykins wouldn't wear one up in Comanche County. I always liked to hear about the oldtimers. Never missed a chance to do so. You can't help but compare yourself against the oldtimers. Can't help but wonder how they would have operated these times. There was this boy I sent to the 'lectric chair at Huntsville Hill here a while back. My arrest and my testimony. He killt a fourteen-year-old girl. Papers said it was a crime of passion but he told me there wasn't any passion to it. Told me that he'd been planning to kill somebody for about as long as he could remember. Said that if they turned him out he'd do it again. Said he knew he was going to hell. "Be there in about fifteen minutes". I don't know what to make of that. I sure don't. The crime you see now, it's hard to even take its measure. It's not that I'm afraid of it. I always knew you had to be willing to die to even do this job. But, I don't want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don't understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He'd have to say, "O.K., I'll be part of this world.""

• (Tommy Lee Jones) "That man that shot you died in prison."
• (Barry Corbin) "Angola. Yeah --"
• (Tommy Lee Jones) "What you'd done he had been released?"

• (Barry Corbin) "Well all the time ya spend trying to get back what's been took from ya, more is going out the door. After a while you just have to try to get a tourniquet on it. Your granddad never asked me to sign on as a deputy."

• (Tommy Lee Jones) "When Llewelyn calls, just tell him I can make him safe. 'Course, they slaughter steers a lot different these days. Use a air gun. Shoots out a little rod about that far under the brain. Sucks right back in. Animal never knows what hit him."
• (Kelly Macdonald) "Why are you telling me that, Sheriff?"
• (Tommy Lee Jones) "I don't know -- my mind wanders."

• (Tommy Lee Jones) "You know, if you'd have told me 20 years ago I'd see children walking the streets of our Texas towns with green hair, bones in their noses, I just flat-out wouldn't have believed you"

• (Sheriff Bell's Secretary) "That DEA agent called again. You gonna wanna talk to him?"
• (Tommy Lee Jones) "Gonna try to keep from him as much as I can."

• (Tommy Lee Jones) "I'll call her when I get there. I'd call her now but she'll want me to come home and I just might."
• (Sheriff Bell's Secretary) "You want me to wait 'til you quit the building?"
• (Tommy Lee Jones) "Uh-huh. Don't wanna lie without what it's absolutely necessary. What is it Torbert says about truth and justice?"
• (Sheriff Bell's Secretary) "Oh -- we dedicate ourselves daily and new. Somethin' like that."
• (Tommy Lee Jones) "I'm gonna commence dedicatin' myself twice daily. Might come to three times before it's over with."
