Quotes:

Kit Carruthers: I'll give you a dollar if you eat this collie.

Holly Sargis: At this moment, I didn't feel shame or fear, but just kind of blah, like when you're sitting there and all the water's run out of the bathtub.

Kit Carruthers: You Tired?::Holly Sargis: Yeah.::Kit Carruthers: Yeah, you look tired... Listen, honey. when all this is over, I'm going to sit down and buy you a big, thick steak.::Holly Sargis: I don't want a steak.::Kit Carruthers: Well, we'll see about that... Hey, lookie.

Holly Sargis: [a while after shot friend Kato] How is he?::Kit Carruthers: I got him in the stomach.::Holly Sargis: Is he upset?::Kit Carruthers: He didn't say nothing to me about it.

Holly Sargis: One day, while taking a look at some vistas in Dad's stereopticon, it hit me that I was just this little girl, born in Texas, whose father was a sign painter, who only had just so many years to live. It sent a chill down my spine and I thought where would I be this very moment, if Kit had never met me? Or killed anybody... this very moment... if my mom had never met my dad... if she had never died. And what's the man I'll marry gonna look like? What's he doing right this minute? Is he thinking about me now, by some coincidence, even though he doesn't know me? Does it show on his face? For days afterwards I lived in dread. Sometimes I wished I could fall asleep and be taken off to some magical land, and this never happened.

Holly Sargis: He needed me now more than ever, but something had come between us. I'd stopped even paying attention to him. Instead I sat in the car and read a map and spelled out entire sentences with my tongue on the roof of mouth where nobody could read them.

Holly Sargis: [Last lines of the film] [Voiceover] Kit and I were taken back to South Dakota. They kept him in solitary, so he didn't have a chance to get acquainted with the other inmates, though he was sure they'd like him, especially the murderers. Myself, I got off with probation and a lot of nasty looks. Later I married the son of the lawyer who defended me. Kit went to sleep in the courtroom while his confession was being read, and he was sentenced to die in the electric chair. On a warm spring night, six months later, after donating his body to science, he did.::Kit Carruthers: Sir... Where'd you get that hat?::Trooper: State.::Kit Carruthers: Boy, I'd like to buy me one of those.::Trooper: [the trooper smiles] You're quite an individual, Kit.::Kit Carruthers: Think they'll take that into consideration?

Kit Carruthers: Hey, I found a toaster.

Kit Carruthers: I shot him in the stomach.::Holly Sargis: Is he mad?::Kit Carruthers: He didn't say nothing to me about it.

Kit Carruthers: Suppose I shot you. How'd that be?
