- Blackie Buck: Do you suppose a mans got to be a miserable son of a bitch all the time, just to write a good song every now & then? That's a terrible thought.
- Doc Jenkins: [singing] The world's getting smaller and everything in it belongs; and if you can't buy that Mr. Music Executive, why don't you write your own songs?
- Doc Jenkins: I couldn't hate anybody.
- Blackie Buck: You hate Rodeo Rocky.
- Doc Jenkins: I couldn't hate a real, live, human being.
- Blackie Buck: I'd put my name on one your songs if it would help screw Rodeo Rocky over.
- Doc Jenkins: Say that again.
- Blackie Buck: I can't.
