{{quote| '''Will Varner''': ''You and Jody and Jody's kids and yours and their kids, my descendants, sister, a line, a long line with my face stamped on 'em, my blood flowing in their veins.''<br />

'''Clara''': ''[[Deadpan Snarker|All of that from the two of us?]]'' }}

* [[Kuudere]]: Clara comes off as a genuine [[Ice Queen]] to most everyone, Ben in particular, but she insists that the children of the town be educated and is much more relaxed around her friend and Alan. She even admits as much to Ben during the picnic scene.

{{quote| '''Clara''': ''You may not know it, but I've got quite a lot to give. I've got things I have been been saving up my whole life, things like love and understanding and jokes and good times and good cooking. I'm prepared to be the Queen of Sheba for some lucky man or at the very least the best wife that any man could hope for. Now that's my human history, and it's not going to be bought and sold and it's certainly not going to be given away to any passing stranger!''}}

* [[Miss Kitty]]: Minnie, Will's mistress.

* [[Money, Dear Boy]]: Orson Welles only agreed to do the film so that he could fund his independent projects. Ritt had to badger him constantly to keep him from phoning in his performance.

* [[Pyromaniac]]: Ben is accused of being a "barn burner." A Southern term and phenomenon, it means someone who will exact revenge for a real or perceived injustice or slight by setting fire to his antagonist's barn, or other outbuilding if the barn isn't accessible.

* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: Will is used to getting his way just by flashing some green. This tactic works on Ben--at first.
