1 " Hap, even tough I'm a racist castrating bitch that wants you to be better than you are, wants you to do something with your life besides be a knockabout, do you think you could find it in your heart, in your itty-bitty white man's dick, to get a hard-on for me? In other words, want to fuck? "

― Joe R. Lansdale , Mucho Mojo (Hap and Leonard, #2)

7 " These fucks next door. I got no problems with them yet, but I feel one brewing, way they watch me. They’re biding their time. I’d like to have you at my back, and there’s always the chance they’ll get you first, instead of me. I like the idea of a buffer. "

― Joe R. Lansdale , Mucho Mojo (Hap and Leonard, #2)

8 " MeMaw was good people, but that didn’t mean the genes didn’t come together in Hiram crooked somewhere. Got the wrong combination.” “Then in a way,” I said, “that means he couldn’t help it.” “Bad dogs can’t help but bite either. I’ve seen ’em born vicious and just get worse as they got older, no matter how good you treated ’em. They can’t help it, but I couldn’t help putting a bullet through their heads either. You don’t bite me, or try to bite me but once. "

10 " Whitey still has them on his farm, only they ain’t doing nothing there and they’re getting tidbits tossed to them like dogs, and they take it and keep on keeping on and wanting Whitey to do more.” “Maybe Whitey owes them.” “Maybe he does, but you can be a cur or you get up off your ass and start seeing yourself as a person instead of an underdog that’s got to take those scraps. "

― Joe R. Lansdale , Mucho Mojo (Hap and Leonard, #2)

11 " I guess. You think he’ll get life, or a needle full of shit?” “I pray for the needle. I’d like to be there to push the plunger in the fucker, or maybe just forget the dope and jab him to death with the needle.” “The thing that worries me about you, Leonard, is you have such a hard time getting in touch with your true feelings. "
