"So, how's it all going in the nigger-torturing business, Dixon?"
"It's 'Persons of color'-torturing business, these days, if you want to know."
"They ain't going to listen to some guy's mother, asking them to get rid of some black guy. Things have moved on in The South!"
Loved the advertising guy Caleb Landry Jones, and the really thick girlfriend Kerry Condon ("I read it on a bookmark?... Which was in a book I was reading?... About Polio?... Polo..") And, well - all the performances. Darrell Britt-Gibson as the billboard guy, Lucas Hedges the son, Abbie Cornish as Harrelson's wife (she was also in Seven Psychopaths - McDonagh's establishing a little repertory group..)
And the three letters Woody Harrelson leaves, which are so full of poignancy and humour, drily delivered - in particular the one for Sam Rockwell (as the police station's burning down around him), which makes him change.
It just gets better and better.
I wonder if the brothers consult each other / read each other's scripts?
