Mildred Hayes: — So how's it all going in the nigger-torturing business, Dixon?
Jason Dixon: — It's persons-of-color-torturing business, these days. If you wanna know... I didn't torture nobody. What's the matter with you, saying that goddamn stuff on TV? My momma watches that station!
Mildred Hayes: — Your momma doesn't know about the torturing?
Jason Dixon: — No, she doesn't know anything about it. She's against that kinda thing.
Bill Willoughby: — Who's against what?
Jason Dixon: — My mama... momma is against persons-of-color-torturing. She said, "Nigger-torturing." I said, "You can't say 'nigger-torturing' no more. "You gotta say persons-of-color-torturing." Isn't that right, Chief? Ain't that right?
Bill Willoughby: — I think I'll be able to take care of Mrs. Hayes on my own from here on, Jason.

— And What the fuck is going on with these fucking billboards, Mildred?
— Kinda self-explanatory.
— Well, why don't you just explain it to me?
— Guess it ain't self-explanatory, then. Well, you know, I guess I wanted certain people's minds kept on certain people's jobs, is all. I hadn't heard from them in seven goddamn months. I tell you this, I've heard an awful lot from them since I put them billboards up.
— You think this has focused their minds? Mmm? I'll tell you what it's focused their minds on. It's focused their minds on how exactly are they gonna fuck you up.
— The more you keep a case in the public eye, the better your chances are of getting it solved. It's in all the guidebooks, Charlie.
