I'd like to recommend thorough reading especially before a visit of Trinity...
The Buck starts here.
That's Sheriff Lucas Buck. That's Buck with a "B".
Lucas Buck knows everything. It's his job.
The beauty of a small town like Trinity is that we take care of our own.
Down the road, the Sheriff may ask you for a small favor.
There's no runnin' from Lucas Buck.
It's time you start trusting the man with the star.
Conscience is just
a fear of getting caught.
All guilt is relative, loyalty counts... and never let your conscience be your guide.
Don't drop the loyalty ball.

Only two roads in
this world. And if you're listening to anyone but Lucas Buck, you're on the wrong one.

it's who people think you are.

Been there. And you know what? It ain't half bad. [Lucas Buck about Hell]
War is hell.
You shouldn't really
ignore the dead. Sometimes they're just not as dead as you think.
Dead men are very impatient.
The profession of
journalism has about as much integrity as the world's oldest profession; maybe
less. At least whores don't kid themselves about their motives.
Just 'cause I'm in law enforcement don't mean I got a bag of doughnuts under the seat.
Everything's gonna be fine. Doc Crower's gonna fix this man right up.

Don't give yourself a brain hemorrhage.
These things have a thousand uses. [shovels, for the uninitiated... ;-)]
You may be in heaven...now.
Ah, well...life's a bitch.
There's a lesson in everything.
You sit on your butt and you flick your wrist a lot. [Ben's definition
of a fishing trip]
