Honey, just cuz I talk slow doesn’t mean I’m stupid.
Jake
The only reason I ain't signing is cause you've turned into some hoity-toity Yankee bitch, and I'd like nothing better right now than to piss you off.
Jake
Why don’t you go back to your double-wide and fry something?
Mayor Kate Hennings
Look at you, you have a baby... In a bar.
Melanie Carmichael
Well, you must be Jake's hot date. I'm Melanie, Jake's snotty Yankee bitch wife whom he refuses to divorce.
Melanie Carmichael
You dumb stubborn redneck hick.
Melanie Carmichael
You’re the first boy I ever kissed, Jake, and I want you to be the last.
Melanie Carmichael
The truth is I gave my heart away a long time ago, my whole heart, and I never really got it back.
