- Tough Guy: [Preston tears down a confederate flag from the rednecks truck] You got some fucking balls on you, old man.
- Preston: Well, that I do. That I do. I also got some brains. Educated. I read my history. This here shit ripped our nation apart, until finally, these cocksuckers just quit. You know? They gave up. They lost.

I mean, we love to drive cars, we love to fly in airplanes. I mean, we don't mind getting that oil from foreign countries, but God help you if you wanna drill right here at home.
