Virginia McCain : [teasing Buster about a fake affair as she looks through the new Misery books] Well, whoever she is, she sure likes to read a lot.
Sheriff John T. 'Buster' McCain : Virginia, I'm flattered that you think I have that kind of energy. I figure that if I can't find Paul Sheldon, at least I'll find out what he wrote about.
Virginia McCain : Well, what do you expect to find? A story about a guy who drove his car off a cliff in a snowstorm?
Sheriff John T. 'Buster' McCain : You see, it's just that kind of sarcasm that's given our marriage real spice.

Virginia McCain : [talking to Jim Taylor on the phone about Buster] No, he's not here. I don't know where he is, he never tells me anything any more. Probably out having an affair somewhere.

Virginia McCain : Oh here he is.
[hands Buster the phone]
Virginia McCain : It's Jim Taylor, he wants to know who you're having an affair with.

Virginia McCain : [Virginia and Buster are driving along the mountain road]
[Sarcastically]
Virginia McCain : Well, this sure is fun.

[He takes her hand and puts it back on the steering wheel]
Virginia McCain : [Sarcastically] Well, this deputy would rather be home under the covers with the sheriff.
