I think we all should pile up our hair, spray it with a couple gallons of lacquer, and lip-sync:
...and Hell's coming with me! Do you hear me? HELL'S COMING WITH ME!

I'll be your huckleberry! Read a couple different theories on that line. One is that it is a reference to Huckleberry Finn, and has the meaning of "I'm the (wo)man for the job!" The other, is that it refers to an older American expression; "I'll be the huckleberry to your persimmon." Which translates to "I am more skilled than you (at the given task." Either works, I suppose.

Well I give your bark a lot of credit, cause its just what I needed when I needed it. AKA "SEND THE DAMN EMAIL REYNOLDS!"
Just the same I owe you. And I'd shoot with you anytime.

Yeah, me neither, usually. But, in my defense, there WERE eight of them, four Deputies and four troopers. I'm a BAD man, I guess!
