Quotes:

Alix: I found out how hard it is to change, really change. Even hell can get comfortable if you're used to it. All I wanted my whole life, was for that lonliness inside me to go away. But, it never did, no matted what I drank, or what drug I took, or where I went, who I was with. We all need something to help us get through life. All I needed was to find the right thing to rely on, something that would never go away, something I would never run out of. Turned out to be the same thing for everybody. And the funny thing was, it was there all the time, in those little glimpses of heaven in every day... In the smile of a stranger, the green of the trees, the advice of a friend, the laughter of a child, the help of a neighbor, the plane that arrived safely.

Otis: I'd like to kill somebody.::Henry: Say that again.::Otis: I'd like to kill somebody.::Henry: Let's me and you go for a ride, Otis

Henry: If you shoot someone in the head with a .45 every time you kill somebody, it becomes like your fingerprint, see? But if you strangle one, stab another, and one you cut up, and one you don't, then the police don't know what to do. They think you're four different people.

Otis: Where you going?::Henry: Nowhere - you wanna come?

Henry: Guns are easy to get... I can make a phone call and get a gun. Anybody can get a gun, Otis.

He made me promise.::[pause]::Becky: She must have treated you real bad.::Henry: She was a whore. My mama was a whore. But I don't fault her for that. It ain't what she done, but how she done it. Long as I can remember, she'd bring men up to the house. My daddy was there too, but it didn't matter none to her. She'd make me watch.::Becky: That's creepy.::Henry: She'd beat me too. A lot. She'd beat me when I wouldn't watch it. And sometimes she'd beat me, and make me wear a dress, and watch her doin' it. Then they'd laugh at me.::Becky: She made you wear a dress?::Henry: You think I'm lyin?::Becky: I feel like I know you, like I've known you for a long time.

I shot her dead.::Becky: I thought you said you stabbed her.::Henry: Oh yeah, that's right, I stabbed her.
