"Little honey, are you goin' out tonight?" "Sonny, you wanna hit me up with some syrup?" "Thank you, darling." "Ma'am?" "Yeah, I'll be right with you." "Here you go." "You got the sausage, pancakes for you, and there's your syrup." "He's over there." "Uh-huh." "Decaf or regular?" "Regular, please." "You girls are kind of young to be smoking, don't you think?" "It ruins your sex drive." "I'll get it!" "I got it!" "Hello?" "Hey, how you doing, little housewife?" "You all packed?" "We're out of here tonight." "Well, wait now." "I still have to ask Darryl if I can go." "You mean you haven't asked him, yet?" "Thelma, for Christ's sake!" "Thelma, is he your husband or your father?" "It is just two days, for God's sake." "Don't be a child." "Tell him you're going with me." "Tell him I'm having a nervous breakdown." "That don't carry much weight with Darryl." "He already thinks you're out of your mind." "Are you at work?" "No, I'm calling from the Playboy Mansion." "I'll call you right back." "Darryl?" "Darryl!" "Honey, you better hurry up!" "God damn it, Thelma." "Don't holler like that." "Haven't I told you I can't stand it when you holler in the morning?" "I'm sorry, doll." "I just didn't want you to be late." "Thank you." "Hon?" "What?" "Uh..." "Have a good day at work today." "Uh-huh." "Jesus." "Thank you, no." "Hon?" "What?" "You want anything special for dinner tonight?" "No, Thelma, I don't give a shit what we have for dinner." "I may not even make it home for dinner." "You know how Fridays are." "Yeah, funny how so many people want to buy a carpet on a Friday night." "You'd almost think they'd want to forget about it for the weekend." "Well, then it's a good thing you're not regional manager and I am." "For Christ's sake, I got to get the hell out of here." "Jesus!" "God damn it, Homer!" "Christ, I gotta get to work!" "Don't need this bullshit in the morning!" "Just leave them." "I'll get them, thank you." "For Christ's sakes." "And I want you out of here by 5:00." "No, 3:00." "Get out of here by 3:00 today." "Good morning." "Morning, is Louise there?" "Why, yes, she is." "Is this Thelma?" "Thelma, when are you gonna run away with me?" "Not this weekend, sweetie, she's running away with me." "Hey, what'd he say?" "What time are you picking me up?" "All right!" "I'll be there around 2:00 or 3:00." "Okay." "Say, what kind of stuff do I bring?" "I don't know." "Warm stuff, I guess." "It's the mountains." "I guess it gets cold at night." "I don't know." "I'm just gonna bring everything." "Okay, I will, too, then." "And steal Darryl's fishing stuff." "Louise, I don't know how to fish." "Neither do I, Thelma, but Darryl does it." "How hard can it be?" "All right, I'll see you in a bit." "Okay." "All right, bye." "As you brush your shoes" "And stand before the mirror" "And you comb your hair" "And grab your coat and out" "And you walk the wet streets" "Trying to remember" "All the wild night breezes in your memory ever" "And everything looks so complete" "When you're walkin' out on the street" "Hey, this is Jimmy." "I'm not here right now." "And sends you flyin', cryin'" "Ooh-wee" "The wild night is callin'" "And all the girls walk by" "Hey." "Hey." "No, Thelma, we don't need the lantern." "The place has electricity." "Okay." "No, I want to take it anyway, just in case." "In case of what?" "In case there's some escaped psycho killer on the loose who cuts the electricity off and tries to come in and kill us." "Sure, Thelma." "Well, then that lantern'll come in real handy." "Maybe we should just tow your car behind, too, in case he steals the spark plugs." "We'd have to." "That thing barely makes it down the driveway." "Careful." "Careful." "All right, everything in?" "Yeah." "Careful." "Here you go." "Be careful." "All right." "Smile." "Sit down!" "Oh, Louise?" "Uh-huh." "Will you take care of this gun?" "What in hell did you bring that for?" "Come on." "Psycho killers or bears or snakes." "I just don't know how to use it." "Will you take care of it?" "Put it away." "Just..." "Here, put it in my purse." "Thelma, good Lord." "So, whose place is this again?" "It's Bob's, the day manager's." "He's getting a divorce, so his wife's getting this place." "So he's letting all his friends use it till he's got to turn over the keys." "I've never been out of town without Darryl." "How come Darryl let you go?" "'Cause I didn't ask him." "Shit, Thelma!" "He's gonna kill you!" "Well, he'd never let me go." "He never lets me do one goddamn thing that's any fun." "All he wants me to do is hang around the house the whole time while he's out doing God only knows what." "Well, you get what you settle for." "I left him a note." "I left him stuff to microwave." "Children laugh, children cry" "They're the ones who will survive" "Will they know what we've sold?" "Nature's gift we turn for gold" "I don't like what I see now" "In my life, what I see now" "I don't like where we're goin'" "I don't like it, no" "Thelma." "What?" "You and I, we're getting older now" "You and I" "Who will show them if we don't show them how?" "I wanna know, is it true?" "Is there a house of hope for me and you?" "Thelma, what are you doing?" "Smoking." "Hey, I'm Louise." "House of hope for me and you" "I'll never make it." "Can't we just stop somewhere for a minute?" "Thelma, we're not gonna get to the cabin until after dark as it is." "Then what difference would it make if we stopped?" "Come on, I never get to do stuff like this." "Okay." "But it's gonna be a quick stop." "Fine, okay." "I'm still waiting here, and it's half past two" "And I don't wanna love you, but I do" "I haven't seen a place like this since I left Texas." "Isn't this fun?" "That place with a little dance floor" "Said you'd never been in there before" "Y'all want a drink?" "No, thanks." "I'll have a Wild Turkey straight up and a Coke back, please." "Thelma?" "Oh, what?" "Tell me something." "Is this my vacation or isn't it?" "I mean, God, you're as bad as Darryl." "I'm sorry, it's just I'm just not used to seeing you this way." "I..." "I haven't seen you this way in a while." "You're usually so sedate." "Well, I've had it up to my ass with sedate." "You said you and me is gonna get out of town, and for once, just really let our hair down." "Well, darling, look out, 'cause my hair is coming down." "All right." "I've changed my mind." "I'm gonna have a margarita and a shot of Cuervo on the side." "All right!" "Get me another one." "I don't want to love you, but I do" "Hey." "Now, what are a couple of Kewpie dolls like you doing in a place like this?" "We left town for the weekend..." "Minding our own business." "Why don't you try?" "...'cause we wanted to try and have some fun." "And 'cause Louise here is mad at her boyfriend 'cause..." "We just wanted to get something to eat." "Well, you come to the right place." "Do you like chili?" "They got good chili." "Harlan, you bothering these poor girls?" "Hell, no, I was just being friendly." "It's a good thing they're not all as friendly as you." "Hey, your name's Harlan?" "I got an uncle named Harlan." "You do?" "Uh-huh." "Is he a funny uncle?" "'Cause if he is, then he and I got something in common." "I don't mean to be rude, but I got something I got to talk to my friend about in private." "I..." "I understand." "I didn't mean to bother you." "It's just hard not to notice two such pretty ladies as yourselves." "You better dance with me before you leave, or I will never forgive you." "Sure, that'd be fun." "Jeez, Louise, that wasn't very nice." "Can't you tell when somebody's hitting on you?" "So what if he was?" "It's all your years of waiting tables has made you jaded, that's all." "Maybe." "Well, just relax, will you?" "You're making me nervous." "All right!" "I woke up in a hotel I didn't know what to do" "I turned the TV on and wrote a letter to you" "That's a good band." "The news was talking about a dragnet up on the interstate" "Seems they were looking for a Cadillac with Tennessee plates" "Wonder if Darryl's home yet." "Wonder if Jimmy's got back." "Why don't you just tell him to get lost once and for all?" "Why don't you ditch that no-good husband of yours?" "Huh?" "Huh?" "This one's on Harlan." "Thanks." "Well, look, Jimmy'll come in off the road and you won't be there." "He'll freak out and call you 100,000 times." "Sunday night, you'll call him back, and by Monday, he'll be kissing the ground you walk on." "Exactly." "In the meantime, you said we was gonna have some fun, so let's have some!" "All right." "Okay." "If they knew what we were up to, they wouldn't let us in" "Landed in Memphis like original sin" "Up Elvis Presley Boulevard to the Graceland gates" "Yeah, see, we were looking for a Cadillac with Tennessee plates" "Let's dance." "All right!" "I woke up in a hotel I didn't know what to do" "I turned the TV on and wrote a letter to you" "The news was talking about a dragnet up on the interstate" "Thelma." "That's your name?" "Thelma?" "That's a lovely name." "I don't know what I'm doing." "Just follow me, Thelma." "I don't know what..." "Ma'am, you wanna dance a little?" "Sure." "Since I left California, baby Things have gotten worse" "Seems the land of opportunity for me is just a curse" "Tell that judge in Bakersfield my trial will have to wait" "Down here, they're looking for a Cadillac with Tennessee plates" "She saw him singing once when she was 17" "And ever since that day she's been living in between" "You got some great moves, honey." "I was never king of nothing but this wild weekend" "Anyway, he wouldn't care Hell, he gave them to his friends" "All right!" "Here we go!" "Here we go!" "Here we go!" "Hey, hey, Thelma!" "Oh, Louise." "I'm hitting the little girls' room and then we're out of here." "I'm ready when you are." "Wait, Louise, I want to come with you." "Turn around." "I don't feel so good." "What's wrong?" "Come on." "Shit." "Stop!" "What's wrong?" "I'm spinning." "Oopsy-doopsy." "We need to get you some fresh air, little lady." "Uh-huh." "Look, have you seen my friend?" "Your friend?" "Uh..." "Yeah." "Yeah." "She was out there dancing." "Dancing." "How you feeling now, darling?" "Oh." "Thanks." "I think I'm starting to feel a little better." "You're starting to feel pretty good to me, too." "You know that?" "I think I need to keep walking." "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "Where do you think you're going, huh?" "I'm going back inside." "Oh, no, no." "Harlan." "What?" "Hey, quit it." "Stop it." "Stop it." "Thelma, Thelma, listen to me." "Listen to me." "I'm not gonna hurt you, okay?" "I just wanna kiss you." "All right?" "No." "No." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Goddamn, you are gorgeous." "All right, let me go now." "Come on." "Let me go!" "I mean, I'm married!" "Come on." "That's okay, I'm married, too." "I don't feel good." "I've been sick." "Aw." "Listen to me, I said I'm not gonna hurt you." "All right?" "Relax." "Harlan, stop it, please!" "I mean it!" "Wait, don't!" "I mean it!" "Louise is gonna wonder where I am!" "Fuck Louise!" "Fuck..." "Hey!" "Don't ever fucking hit me!" "Fucking bitch!" "Harlan, please!" "Harlan, please!" "Do you hear me?" "Don't hurt me, Harlan, please!" "Shut up!" "Shut the fuck up!" "You hear me?" "Shut up!" "Please." "Please don't hurt me, Harlan!" "Goddamn bitch!" "Don't hurt me, Harlan!" "Let her go!" "Louise!" "Get the fuck out of here." "Louise!" "You let her go, you fucking asshole, or I'm gonna splatter your ugly face all over this nice car." "All right, hey, hey, hey, just calm down." "We were just having a little fun, that's all." "Looks like you got a real fucked-up idea of fun." "Come on." "Come on." "Turn around." "In the future, when a woman's crying like that," "she isn't having any fun!" "Bitch!" "I should've gone ahead and fucked her!" "What did you say?" "I said, "Suck my cock."" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Get the car." "Oh, Jesus Christ." "Louise, you shot him." "Oh, my God." "Get the car." "You watch your mouth, buddy." "Louise, come on!" "Watch it, you fucking asshole!" "Louise?" "Louise, where are we going?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "Just shut up so I can think." "Shouldn't we go to the cops?" "I mean, I think we ought to tell the police." "Tell them what, Thelma?" "Just what do you think we should tell them, huh?" "I don't know." "Just tell them what happened." "Which part?" "All of it." "That..." "That..." "That he was raping me." "Jeez, about a hundred goddamn people saw you dancing cheek to cheek with him all night!" "Who's gonna believe that?" "We don't live in that kind of a world, Thelma." "God damn it, pull over!" "All right." "Thelma?" "Thelma." "Huh?" "Thelma, I'm gonna..." "I'm gonna..." "I'm gonna stop someplace for a cup of coffee and then..." "Just for a second, and then I'm gonna get it together." "And we'll figure out then what to do." "And everything's gonna be fine, all right?" "Everything's gonna be..." "All right?" "Uh-huh." "Now is not the time to panic." "If we panic now, we're done for." "Nobody saw it." "Nobody knows it was us." "Okay." "So we're still okay." "We just have to figure out what we're gonna do next." "We just have to figure out what we're gonna do." "I'll say one thing." "This is some vacation." "I sure am having a good time." "This is real fun." "If you weren't concerned with having so much fun, we wouldn't be here right now." "Just what is that supposed to mean?" "It just means shut up, Thelma." "So this is all my fault, is it?" "I don't wanna play house" "I know it can't be fun" "I have to go to the bathroom." "Sorry." "Can I get you anything else?" "Just the check, please." "Thanks, I'll try again later." "Move back, people." "Stand away from the line, please." "No, it's secured until further notice." "Could you identify them if you saw them again?" "Hell, I told you 50 times." "Yeah, I could identify them, but neither one of those two was the type to pull something like this." "Well, you're not exactly an expert witness, but what makes you so sure?" "If waiting tables in a bar don't make you an expert on human nature, nothing will." "I could've told you Harlan Puckett was gonna end up buying it in a parking lot." "I'm just surprised it didn't happen sooner than this." "Who do you think did it?" "Has anybody asked his wife?" "She's the one I hope did it." "Lena, do you have any ideas or don't you?" "Well, if I had to guess, I'd say it was some old gal, some old gal's husband." "But it wasn't neither one of those two." "The smaller one, the one with the tidy hairdo, she left me a huge tip." "Well." "What?" "You didn't happen to notice what kind of car they were driving, did you?" "It's a nightclub, Hal, not a drive-in." "I don't follow the customers out to the parking lot." "All right." "Lena, go on home." "Oh!" "You kept me here all night to ask me the same old question over and over again." "Ain't you gonna offer me some teeny-weeny, witty-bitty little drink?" "Behave yourself." "Oh!" "Neither of those two was the murdering type, Hal." "Hi, this is Jimmy." "Thelma, you in there?" "Uh-huh." "Thelma, come on, we're out of here!" "Thelma, come on." "We're gonna need money." "Thelma, how much money you have on you?" "What?" "I'm gonna stop at the next town." "We'll get a motel room." "I can rest for a little bit and then I'll figure out what to do." "Okay." "Wait, I'm looking." "$61." "Shit." "$41." "We're gonna need more money." "What are you doing?" "Why are you unpacking?" "You said we was just gonna take a nap." "I'm trying to figure out what to do." "When you figure it out, just wake me up." "What the hell's wrong with you?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "I mean, why are you acting like this?" "Acting like what?" "How am I supposed to act?" "Excuse me for not knowing how to act when you blow somebody away!" "You could help me try to figure out what to do, all right?" "I'm trying to figure out what to do." "But you could try..." "I did!" "I had a suggestion that we go to the police, but you didn't like that, so frankly, Louise, I'm out of ideas." "What's the big rush, Thelma?" "I mean, if we give them enough time, they'll come to us." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm just not ready to go to jail yet, okay?" "Why don't you..." "Um..." "Why don't you go out to the pool and take a swim or something, all right?" "Now, I'll figure out what to do." "Jimmy, this is Louise." "Look, I've been trying to call you." "Louise?" "Hey, baby." "Hi." "Where the hell are you at?" "Are you all right?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "How are you?" "Long time no see." "You sound kind of funny, Louise." "I am funny." "Real funny." "Are you in town?" "It sounds long-distance." "No, I'm out of town." "I'm in..." "I'm in deep shit, Jimmy." "Deep Shit, Arkansas." "Louise, now you just tell me what the hell's going on here." "I come back, nobody knows where you are." "Is Thelma with you?" "Listen, Jimmy." "I have about $6,700 in the bank." "Now, I know you can't get it out, but I need that money." "Can you wire me the $6,700 and I'll pay you back?" "What the fuck is going on here, Louise?" "Listen, something real bad has happened." "And I can't tell you what." "Just that I did it and I can't undo it." "Will you help me, please?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby, of course I can." "Where?" "Why can't I bring it to you?" "Jimmy." "Do you love me?" "Yeah." "Never mind." "Never mind." "Yeah, yeah." "Look, just..." "Just wire it to Western Union in Oklahoma City, okay?" "So that's where you're at, Oklahoma, huh?" "Not yet." "You call me back and I'll tell you which office to go to." "All right." "All right." "I'll call you back in an hour." "Thelma!" "I can feel it when I hear that lonesome highway" "Thelma!" "So many miles to go before I die" "Thelma!" "What?" "Get in the car!" "Okay." "We can never know about tomorrow" "But still we have to choose which way to go" "You and I are standing at the crossroads" "Even if they didn't do it, it turns out they most likely witnessed it, so somebody better talk to them." "Put out an APB and see what we get back." "All right." "Any reason to believe they've left the state?" "That's certainly possible." "Hal, why don't we go ahead and let the Bureau in on this?" "Louise, don't get mad, okay?" "But where are we going?" "Oklahoma City." "Jimmy's gonna wire me some money and then we're gonna..." "Jimmy?" "Did you talk to him?" "Did you tell him?" "What did he say?" "Is he mad?" "No, I didn't tell him, and that's what we gotta get straight now." "Darryl's been calling, mad as a hornet, making all kinds of noise." "When you call him, you gotta not tell him anything about this." "You gotta just make sure everything sounds real normal." "You know, I called the asshole at 4:00 in the morning." "He wasn't even home." "I don't know what he's got to be mad about." "I'm the one that should be mad." "Thelma." "I'm going to Mexico." "Now, I figure I can make it in two and a half days, but I'm gonna have to haul ass." "Are you up to this?" "I mean, I gotta know." "This isn't a game." "I'm in deep shit and I gotta know what you're gonna do." "I don't know." "I don't know, Louise." "I mean, I don't know what you're asking." "Now, don't you..." "Don't you start flaking out on me!" "God damn it, Thelma, every time that we get in trouble, you just get blank or..." "Or plead insanity or some such shit." "Not this time." "I mean, this time things have changed." "Everything's changed." "But I'm going to Mexico." "I'm going." "Louise?" "Is that the way you answer the phone?" "I was afraid I'd missed you." "I..." "I..." "I got it." "I was afraid I couldn't get a check cashed on Saturday." "Who did it?" "A friend of mine who owns a club." "Doug Randall." "You didn't tell him what it's for, did you?" "No, I didn't say what it was for." "I told him I was buying a car." "Good." "That's real good." "Listen, where do I go?" "It's a place called the Vagabond Motel." "It's at 1921 North East 23rd." "It's under "Peaches."" "What?" "That's the code word." "I miss you, Peaches." "Thanks, Jimmy." "I appreciate it." "Ma'am, you sure you wouldn't rather have a large economy size?" "No, no, that's okay." "What are you looking at?" "Hey." "Hey." "I want you to call Darryl." "Call him?" "Mmm-hmm." "Tell him you're having a wonderful time and you'll be home tomorrow night." "Will I be?" "I don't know." "I won't." "Ah!" "The newspaper." "This is Darryl." "I have a collect call from Thelma." "Will you accept?" "Why, yes, I will, operator." "Thelma, where in the Sam Hill are you?" "Um, I'm with Louise." "We're..." "We're in the mountains, we're fishing." "Have you lost your mind?" "Is that it?" "Now I leave for work, and you take complete leave of your senses?" "Darryl, calm down, please." "Don't get so mad." "I can explain, okay?" "See, Louise..." "Hold on!" "Hold on!" "Come on, Kurt, kick it." "Kurt knocks the ball loose." "Kick it." "Shit!" "God!" "Kurt's got it." "He ends up with the ball." "Christ." "We're just gonna stay there and, you know, fish and hang out and stuff." "We'll just be gone one more day and then we'll be home tomorrow night." "No, you won't." "You'll be back today." "You get your butt back here, Thelma, now." "God damn it!" "Darryl." "Darryl?" "You're my husband, not my father." "Oh!" "Now, that does it." "That Louise is nothing but a bad influence!" "If you're not back here by tonight," "Thelma, well, then I just don't wanna say." "Darryl." "Thelma." "Go fuck yourself." "Oh, that's good, that's just sweet." "Shit!" "Sorry." "Darling, you all right?" "Are you okay?" "Did I cause that?" "No, I'm sorry." "No?" "You're okay?" "Uh-huh." "All right." "Is there something I can do for you?" "No, it's okay." "Hmm?" "Crazy." "Excuse me, ma'am." "Uh..." "May I ask which direction you're heading?" "See, I'm trying to get back to school." "My ride fell through." "Well, I'm kind of stuck here like stink on stink." "So I was thinking that if you're going my way or if I'm going your way..." "I think we're going to Oklahoma City, but I'm not sure." "Perfect." "Yeah." "Well, I'd appreciate it much." "Mmm." "Well, see, it's really not up to me." "It's not my car." "Um..." "We'd have to ask my friend." "But she'd probably say no." "She's a little bit uptight." "Maybe it's not such a good idea." "But I'll tell you what, I thank you for your time." "But, you know, I mean, I can ask, you know." "It wouldn't hurt nothing." "Well, no, it wouldn't hurt." "Hey." "Louise." "Hey, Louise." "This young man here's on his way back to school and I thought since we're going in the same direction, you know, we could give him a ride, huh?" "It's probably not a good idea." "Louise..." "No, probably not, but I appreciate your time." "You all have a good day, all right?" "Drive safe." "Louise?" "Did you see how polite he is?" "He was real sweet." "Thelma." "What?" "Take care of yourself, now." "Fill her up." "Sure wish we could have brought him with us." "What did Darryl have to say?" "He said, "Okay, Thelma, I just wanted to make sure you was all right." ""I sure hope you're having fun." ""You deserve it." "After all, you put up with me." ""I love you, honey."" "So, how long before we're in goddamn Mexico?" "I just didn't think it would hurt to give somebody a ride." "Did you see his butt?" "Darryl don't have a cute butt." "You could park a car in the shadow of his ass." "I'm sorry." "I'm just not in the mood for company right now." "Here, take this map." "I need you to find all the secondary roads to Mexico from Oklahoma City." "I think we should stay off the interstate." "We're too conspicuous." "Looks like we could get on this Road 81 here and head down towards Dallas." "No, I don't want to go through Texas." "Find some way we don't have to go through there." "Wait." "What?" "You want to go to Mexico from Oklahoma, but you don't wanna go through Texas?" "Thelma, you know how I feel about Texas!" "We're not going that way!" "Yeah, I know, Louise, but we're running for our lives." "I mean, can't you make an exception?" "I mean, look at this map!" "The only thing between Oklahoma and Mexico is Texas." "Look!" "Thelma, I'm not gonna talk about this!" "Now, you either find another way or give me the goddamn map and I will!" "Do you understand?" "No, Louise, I don't." "Now, how come you never told me what happened to you there?" "Look, you shoot off a guy's head with his pants down, believe me, Texas is not the place you wanna get caught." "Now, trust me." "Now, I've told you, I'm not gonna talk about this anymore." "Happy birthday, lady." "You know, you could have been a cuckoo" "And, baby, you're so smart" "You know you could have been a schoolbook" "Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to" "And I can tell" "The way you do the things you do" "Is the manager in?" "Marian, there's a police officer here." "All right." "All right, Thelma." "All right." "Okay." "The other night there was a murder out at the Silver Bullet." "A man was shot." "And we have some witnesses that saw a 1966 T-Bird convertible leaving the scene, sort of speeding out of the driveway there." "And that vehicle is registered to one Louise Sawyer." "And we have reason to believe that your wife was the other occupant of that car." "What?" "Excuse me." "You're standing in your pizza." "Shit!" "So, tell me something, Ms. Thelma." "How is it you ain't got any kids?" "I mean, God gives you something special," "I think you ought to pass it on." "Well, Darryl, that's my husband..." "Darryl?" "Yeah." "He says he's not ready yet." "He says he's still too much of a kid himself." "Kind of prides himself on being infantile." "He's got a lot to be proud of." "Louise and him don't get along." "That's putting it mildly." "She thinks he's a pig." "I know he's a pig." "Did you get married real young, Ms. Thelma?" "Well, I guess 18's kind of young." "But we'd already been going out four years when we got married." "Out for how long?" "Four years." "I never been with anybody but Darryl." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Well, if you don't mind me saying so, he sounds like a real asshole." "It's okay." "He is an asshole." "Most of the time, I just let it slide." "You better slow down there, Ms. Louise." "That's a cop up ahead." "Shit." "Maybe you got a few too many parking tickets." "We'll take you to Oklahoma City, then you best be on your way, all right?" "All right." "Prints on the trunk of the car match those of Thelma Dickinson." "I'll be damned." "Isn't that strange?" "And the husband says a gun is missing." "She took a lot of stuff." "It looks like she may be planning on being gone a while." "The strange thing is her husband said she would never touch that gun." "He got it for her 'cause he's out late a lot, but he said she'd never touch it, wouldn't learn to shoot it." "Just kept it in a drawer for years." "What kind of gun was it?" ".38." "Right." "Where are they?" "They were on their way to some guy's cabin and they never showed up." "All right." "Now, I'm gonna go and..." "Listen up, you two." "I'm gonna go in." "It's just gonna take a minute." "You two better say your goodbyes, you understand?" "Okay." "Hi." "Hi." "I'm here to pick up a money order for Louise Sawyer." "There's nothing." "How about "Peaches"?" "Could you try code word "Peaches"?" "Did I hear somebody say "Peaches"?" "Oh, my God." "Jimmy." "That's the secret word." "Show the lady what she's won, Don." "What are you doing here?" "I just came to see you, baby." "Can I have another room, please?" "Put it on my credit card." "Thelma?" "Thelma, get your foot down." "Thelma, look who's here." "Oh!" "Shit!" "Jimmy." "Hi, stranger." "What in the world are you doing here?" "Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies." "Good answer." "Same goes double for me." "Who's the cowboy?" "This here..." "This is J. D. How'd do?" "He's a student." "He's gone." "We're just giving him a ride to here, then he..." "Louise said that he would have to go, so..." "He's gone." "I guess that's what he's doing." "Yeah, I reckon that's what I'm doing." "He's gone." "Like the wind." "Have a good trip." "Thank you." "Nice meeting you." "Yep." "Yep, that's him going." "I love watching him go." "Thelma kind of took to him." "Yeah, well, I got you a room there, Thelma." "You can go on in and take yourself a nice cold shower." "Well, you know me, Jimmy, I'm just a wild woman." "It's our future." "What are you gonna tell him?" "Nothing." "I'm not gonna tell him a thing." "The least I can do is not make him any more of an accessory than he already is." "You are so sweet to that guy." "You know, you really are." "Imagine not wanting to drag him into this." "I didn't ask him to come." "It's like I said, he's no different than any other guy." "He just loves the chase is all." "Well, he sure got his work cut out for him now, don't he?" "Thelma, just put a lid on it!" "Now..." "I want you to just..." "You guard that money." "Okay." "And if there's any problem, then you call me in Room 211." "Okay." "I won't wait up." "You want a drink?" "No." "Why don't you tell me what's going on?" "I'm not gonna tell you what's going on." "Someday soon you'll understand why I can't, but I'm not going to, so don't ask me." "Can I ask you one thing?" "Maybe." "Are you in love with somebody else?" "Does this have something to do with another man?" "No, it's not anything like that." "Then what is it, God damn it?" "Are you just gonna leave for fucking ever?" "What, did you fucking kill somebody?" "You start this shit, I'm out of here!" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "You wanna come back over there and sit down?" "I wanna give you something." "I'm fine right here." "I wanna give you something." "Give it to me here." "Here." "Why don't you try it on?" "You didn't see that one coming, did you?" "Why, Jimmy?" "Why now?" "Try not to get too excited, Louise." "I just flew across two states with that ring in my fucking hand and..." "You know I hate to fly." "You came all this way because you thought I was with somebody else." "No, that's not why I came." "Because, you know, I..." "I don't want to lose you." "And I get the feeling like you're gonna, like, split permanently." "That's not a good reason to get married." "Well, I thought that's what you wanted." "I did, but not like this." "Cooking methods." "Questions are encouraged." "The Fort Reno Days Festival highlights settler, Indian, and military lifestyles of years past, and the military contingent boasts an actual member of the 5th Cavalry." "Louise?" "No, Thelma, it's me." "Surprise." "I was just out there and I was thinking that..." "Well, I know I'm supposed to be gone and all, but..." "You know." "And I'm not having a turd's luck getting a ride out in this rain." "I was just thinking about you." "This..." "This is crazy." "I'm gonna..." "I'm gonna get out of your hair, all right?" "I'm gonna..." "Well, wait, wait." "Where you going?" "Ah, I don't know." "You know, nowhere." "You think I'm happy playing my one-night gigs in Ramada Inn lounges?" "You know, you think you're the only one with dreams that don't work out?" "We both got what we settled for." "I think maybe you just don't love me anymore." "No, I do love you." "But I think it's time to just let go of the old mistakes." "Just chalk it up to bad timing." "I think it's time to let go." "Look out." "Look out." "Don't..." "Don't do it." "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Come on." "You're too easy." "Come on." "Here." "All right, all right." "I'll do it." "Your turn." "Come on." "Well, don't leave it..." "Just don't leave them there." "All right, all right." "Gosh, what are you..." "You see, this is an unfair advantage." "You got..." "You got too much metal going here." "You want to lighten the load a little bit?" "Yeah?" "Yeah." "I think that's better." "What do you think?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Take me, break me, make me a man!" "You're gonna hit your head!" "Watch your head!" "Careful." "My head's fine." "Who are you, anyway?" "I'm the great and powerful Oz." "Who do you want to be?" "Come on, tell me." "I know you're not just some schoolboy." "Nobody ever tells me shit." "Tell me." "Oh, I'm just some guy." "A guy whose parole officer is probably having a shit fit right about now." "What do you mean, parole officer?" "What?" "Are you a criminal?" "No." "No, not no more, Thelma." "Let's see." "Besides busting parole, I haven't done one wrong thing." "What'd you do?" "I'm a robber." "You're a bank robber?" "No." "No." "I don't rob no banks." "Come on." "What'd you rob?" "Hmm." "Well, let's see." "Let's add it up here," "I robbed a gas station, a couple of convenience stores, liquor stores." "Oh, my God." "How?" "Come on." "Okay." "Well, see, first you pick your place, all right?" "Then I just sit back and watch it for a little while." "Wait for that right moment to make my move, see?" "That's something you gotta know up here." "That shit cannot be taught." "Yeah, then..." "Shit, I don't want to talk about this." "Come on, I do." "All right." "Then I'd waltz right in." "Yeah." "And I'd just kind of waltz on in and I'd say," ""Ladies, gentlemen, let's see who wins a prize for keeping their cool." ""Simon says, 'Everybody down on the floor.'" ""Now, nobody loses their head, then nobody loses their head." ""Uh..." "You, sir." "Yeah, you do the honors." ""Take that cash and put it into that bag right there." ""You've got an amazing story to tell your friends." ""If not, well, you got a tag on your toe." "You decide."" "Simple as that." "Then I'd just slip on out." "And get the hell out of Dodge, yeah." "Mmm-hmm." "My goodness." "You were sure gentlemanly about it." "Well, now, I've always believed that, done properly, armed robbery doesn't have to be a totally unpleasant experience." "What?" "You're a real live outlaw, aren't you?" "Well, I may be an outlaw, darling, but you're the one who's stealing my heart." "You're smooth." "Oh." "Yeah." "Oh." "Isn't he?" "Isn't he?" "You're smooth." "Yeah." "That's right." "Keep it that way." "I'll pin you." "Remember when we first met?" "Yeah." "What happened?" "Tell me what you said." "I said you had a nice pair of eyes." "And what'd I say?" "Do you remember?" "Yeah, you shut them." "Asked me if I knew what color they were." "And what'd you say?" "I didn't know." "Jimmy, what color are my eyes?" "They're brown." "Wait." "Wait." "Night upon the rocks" "I'm over by the roadhouse" "With them rusted engine blocks" "A ghost town with a gold mine" "A pick axe in my head" "I'm beggin' mama please move over" "Kick the stones out of my bed" "Met my sister Sandra" "With them jewels and the cross" "Eyes on my lever now" "She paint with chili sauce" "I cannot do no business" "With your candle lit in red" "I'm beggin' mama please move over" "Kick them stones out of my bed" "Y'all want some more coffee?" "Thank you." "Look, I don't know what's going on with you, or what happened or what you all did," "but I'm not gonna tell anybody anything, and I'm not gonna say that I even saw you." "Okay?" "Damn, Jimmy, what did you do, take some kind of pill that makes you say all the right stuff?" "Yeah, I'm choking on it." "You sure you don't want me to go with you?" "I think it's probably not a real good idea right now." "But I'll catch up with you later on down the road." "Yeah." "Well, my taxi's here." "So, why don't you just keep that?" "Okay?" "Thanks." "I just want you to be happy." "I am happy, sweetie." "Happy as I can be." "All right." "All right." "Well, why don't you give old Jimmy a kiss goodbye?" "And I'll be getting out of here." "Come here, old Jimmy." "I'll be seeing you, Louise." "Mmm-hmm." "Okay, have a safe trip." "It's a good thing he left when he did." "We thought we were gonna have to put out a fire." "Hi." "What happened to your hair?" "Nothing." "Got messed up." "Thelma, what's wrong with you?" "Nothing." "Why, do I seem different?" "Well, now that you mention it, yeah." "You seem like you're crazy or you're on drugs." "Well, I'm not on drugs, but I might be crazy!" "Thelma, what happened?" "What happened?" "J. D. Came back." "Oh, my God, Louise." "Oh, my God." "Oh, no!" "I can't believe it." "I mean, I just can't believe it!" "No!" "Oh, my God, it's like..." "I finally understand what all the fuss is about!" "Now it's just like a whole other ball game." "Darling, I'm so happy for you." "That's great." "I really am." "You finally got laid properly." "That's so sweet." "Where is he now?" "He's taking a shower." "Thelma, you left him alone in the room?" "Where's the money?" "Oh, my God." "Thelma, where's the money?" "It's on the bed table." "It's okay." "It's on the nightstand!" "It's okay." "Oh, God damn it!" "I've never been lucky!" "Not one time!" "Shit!" "That son of a bitch burned me." "I don't believe it." "I don't believe it." "Louise?" "You okay?" "Louise." "I'm sorry, I mean it." "Louise, it's okay." "It's okay." "No, Thelma, it's not okay." "It's definitely not okay." "None of this is okay." "I mean, what are we gonna do for money, huh?" "How we gonna get gas?" "I mean, trading on our good looks?" "I mean, oh, God damn it, Thelma, it's not okay." "Louise." "Hey, now you listen to me." "Don't you worry about it." "You hear me?" "Come on, stand up!" "Louise, just don't you worry about it." "You hear?" "Come on." "Come on, damn it!" "Get your stuff and let's get out of here." "Move!" "Jesus Christ, come on." "Come on." "Take your damn time." "Come on, here we go." "Damn, damn." "Afraid of a little rain, Max?" "Phew!" "Well, come on in." "Wipe your feet." "As you know, we've tapped your phone in the event that she calls in." "Is that gonna cost me?" "Excuse me, may I?" "Hey, live it up." "That's what it's there for." "We're going to have someone here at the house on the phones until we find them." "The important thing is not to let on that you know anything." "We want to try and find out where they are." "Uh-huh." "I don't want to get too personal, but do you have a good relationship with your wife?" "I..." "I love Thelma." "I don't intend anything by that, sir." "It's just a question I have to ask." "Are you close with her?" "Yeah." "I guess." "I mean, I'm about as close as I can be to a nutcase like that." "Yeah, well, if she calls, just be gentle." "You know, like you're really happy to hear from her." "Like you really miss her." "Women love that shit." "Okay, if you say so." " "Women love that shit."" " I'm sorry, it's just..." "Cool." "Can I wear these?" "Want anything?" "Drive, Louise!" "Drive!" "Drive the car!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "What happened?" "You robbed the store?" "You robbed the goddamn store?" "Well, we needed the money." "It's not like I killed anybody, for God's sake." "Thelma!" "I'm sorry." "We needed the money, now we have it." "Oh, shit!" "Oh, shit!" "Oh, shit, Thelma!" "Louise." "Louise." "Oh, shit!" "Come on, get a grip." "Drive us to goddamn Mexico, will you?" "Okay." "Oh, shit!" "Oh, shit!" "Well, how..." "How'd you..." "I mean, what'd you say?" "Well, I just waltzed on in there and I said..." "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen." "This is a robbery." "Now, if nobody loses their head, nobody'll lose their head." "Simon says, "Y'all lie down on the floor, please, right away."" "Thank you." "Ma'am, would you get down?" "Not you, sir." "Let's see who'll win a prize for keeping their cool." "Sir, would you do the honors?" "Take all the cash out of the drawer, put it in a paper bag." "Yes, ma'am." "You're gonna have an amazing story to tell all your friends." "If not, you'll have a tag on your toe." "You decide." "Hurry up." "Let's go." "Ma'am, would you be quiet?" "Sir, get down, please." "Thank you." "Just stay there." "Just get real comfortable." "Hey, throw in some bottles of Wild Turkey, too, will you?" "Yes, ma'am." "Thank you." "Now, you get down, too." "Yes, ma'am." "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all for your cooperation." "Now, stay down on the floor till I'm gone." "Have a good day." "Jesus Christ!" "Good God." "My Lord." "Hey, Louise, better slow down." "I'd just die if we get caught over a speeding ticket." "You know, for the first time in my life, I wish this car wasn't green." "You sure we should be driving like this?" "I mean, in broad daylight and everything?" "No, we shouldn't, but I want to put some distance between us and the scene of our last goddamn crime!" "Oh, man!" "You wouldn't have believed it." "It was like I'd been doing it all my life." "I mean, nobody would believe it." "Think you found your calling?" "Maybe." "Maybe." "The call of the wild!" "You are disturbed!" "Yeah, I believe I am." "Whoo!" "Thelma, don't you litter." "Wait a minute." "Shoot." "God, I hate when you..." "This always happens when you're in a hurry." "Damn." "What are you gonna do?" "Just stay drunk all day?" "Try to." "Oh." "Isn't that nice?" "Truck drivers are always so nice." "Best drivers on the road." "Oh, Lord." "How original." "Thank you." "Oh, man!" "That's disgusting!" "You pig!" "Just a fucking pig!" "That's gross!" "What's he gotta do that for, anyway?" "I don't know." "They think we like it." "They think it turns us on is what they think." "Shut up!" "James Lennox?" "Yeah, who wants to know?" "Arkansas State Police." "Hi." "Thelma." "What?" "I want you to call Darryl." "What for?" "I want you to find out if he knows anything." "If you think he does, you gotta hang up the phone, 'cause that means the police have told him, and the phone's probably tapped." "Tapped the phone?" "What are you talking about?" "Come on, Thelma, murder one and armed robbery?" "Murder one?" "We can't even say it was self-defense?" "Well, it wasn't." "We were walking away." "We got away." "Yeah, but they don't know that." "It was just you and me there." "I'll say he raped me and you had to shoot him." "That's almost the truth." "It won't work." "Why not?" "Because there's no physical evidence." "We can't prove he did it." "We can't even probably prove by now that he touched you." "God." "Law is some tricky shit, isn't it?" "Hey, how do you know about all this stuff anyway?" "Besides, what're we gonna say about the robbery?" "There's no excuse for that." "There's no such thing as justifiable robbery." "All right, Louise, will you?" "Where'd you get this?" "Stole it." "Hi." "Hi!" "Huh!" "Who's the nut?" "That's Mrs. Dickinson's husband." "Excuse me." "Well, shit twice and fall back in it." "God." "Where'd you get the $6,600 in cash?" "A friend." "We spoke with a gentleman today who says he delivered very close to that same amount to a Ms. Louise Sawyer." "Do you know her, too?" "Yes, sir." "Yeah, I believe she's the woman driving the car." "He said he took it to a motel in Oklahoma City." "He also says that at that time he met a man." "He identified you through a series of mug shots." "He also told us that you and Mrs. Dickinson seemed close." "Is that true?" "Well, sir, you might say we had a meeting of the minds, yeah." "Are you aware that Mrs. Dickinson and Ms. Sawyer are wanted in connection with a murder?" "Murder?" "What, Thelma?" "Damn!" "Did they ever indicate that they might be on the run from the law?" "You know, sir, now that you mention it, they might have seemed a little bit jumpy." "You know what?" "What?" "You're starting to irritate me." "Yeah, me, too." "That'll happen." "Say, you two boys have a lot in common." "Maybe I should just step out of the room for a sec." "I got a better idea." "Do you mind if I speak to him alone for a minute?" "What?" "What'd I do?" "Nothing, that's what." "Tell you something, this is a crock of shit, Mr. John fucking Law." "Son, I got a feeling about something and..." "Yeah?" "...I just wanna ask your opinion." "Do you think Thelma Dickinson would have committed armed robbery if you hadn't taken all their money?" "Get your foot off that table." "Cat got your tongue?" "No." "Well, how..." "How do you know I took it?" "How do you know they didn't..." "Don't you fucking lie to me!" "There's two girls out there that had a chance." "They had a chance." "And now you've screwed it up for them." "No." "And now they're in some serious trouble." "And I'm gonna hold you personally responsible for at least part of it if anything happens to them." "I got no feeling for you." "Now, you're either gonna tell me every damn thing you know, so there's a small chance that I can actually do them some good," "or I'm gonna be all over you like a fly on shit for the rest of your natural life." "Your miseries will be my goddamn mission in life." "Yes, sir." "Okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "That's right." "We understand each other?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Mr. Dickinson?" "Yeah?" "If you'd just hang on, I want a word with you." "I like your wife." "Come back here!" "Hey, hey!" "Come back here, you little shit!" "Come here!" "Come here!" "All right, all right, all right." "Come here!" "Come here!" "Come on!" "Come on, now." "I'll kill him!" "Let's go home now." "I'll kill you!" "What will it be, ladies?" "Fill her up." "There you go." "Um..." "Excuse me, do you have a phone?" "Thank you." "Thelma, listen up, now." "If you even think he knows, I mean, even if you're not sure," "I want you to hang up, you understand?" "Yeah." "Hello." "Darryl, it's me." "Thelma, hello!" "He knows." "Shit." "I need more time." "What?" "All I said was "hello."" "Yep?" "Darryl, this is Louise." "Let me talk to the police." "Hey, Louise." "Hi." "Let me talk to the police." "What do you mean?" "There's no police here." "Hey, where are you girls anyway?" "Just wait..." "Darryl, will you let me talk to whoever's in charge there?" "How do you know there's..." "Hello, Ms. Sawyer?" "I'm Investigator Hal Slocumb, Arkansas State Police." "How are you?" "Well, I've been better." "Be careful with that gun." "Yes, I know." "You girls are in some hot water." "You both okay?" "Neither one of you hurt?" "Yes, sir, we're..." "We're fine." "We're both fine." "Good." "You want to tell me what happened?" "Sure, over coffee, sometime." "I'll buy." "I want you to know neither one of you are charged with murder yet." "You're just still wanted for questioning." "Although now, Mrs. Dickinson's wanted in Oklahoma for armed robbery." "No kidding?" "Look, we gotta go." "I'll call you back, all right?" "Ms. Sawyer, I don't think you all are gonna make it to Mexico." "We should talk." "Please, I want to help you." "Shit." "God, that J. D. Kid is a little shit." "What?" "What?" "Thelma, how did they know we're going to Mexico, huh?" "How did they know that?" "You told that thieving little shit where we were going?" "Oh." "I just..." "I just told him if he ever got to Mexico, he should look us up." "But I..." "I asked him not to tell." "I mean, I..." "I thought he would not tell anybody, you know." "Why?" "I didn't think he'd tell anybody." "Why?" "What's he got to lose?" "Except my life savings, of course." "Oh, shit!" "Thelma, God damn it!" "Look, I'm sorry." "I mean..." "Oh, God damn it, Thelma!" "Look, up until now, we had only two things going for us, one, nobody knew where we were, and two, no one knew where we were going." "Now one of the things we had going for us is gone!" "Look, Thelma, you just gotta stop talking to people." "You gotta stop being so open." "We're fugitives now, all right?" "Let's start behaving like that." "You're right." "Thank you." "Okay." "I was wondering..." "Listen, little boy, of course I want you to go." "If that's what's worrying you, please don't think..." "No, I wasn't worrying about that." "I knew you'd want me to take the job, sure, but..." "Sorry." "Judy, let's get married." "My God, this is beautiful." "It surely is." "I always wanted to travel, I just never got the opportunity."

"Your storm trooper of love!" "I ignored him." "What?" "What?" "Harlan." "What about it?" "Nothing." "Just..." "Just the look on his face when..." "What?" "He sure wasn't expecting that." ""Suck my dick."" "Thelma, it's not funny." "I know." "It happened to you, didn't it?" "What?" "What are you talking about?" "In Texas." "I mean, that's what..." "That's what happened, isn't it?" "You was raped." "Hey, now, look." "I'm warning you." "Just drop it." "I'm not gonna talk about that." "You understand?" "Yeah." "I'm not talking about it." "Okay." "You understand?" "Yeah." "Okay, Louise." "It's okay." "Oh, shit!" "Thelma, we're getting pulled over." "All right." "Shit!" "Shit!" "What'd you wanna do?" "What should we do?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "All right, we'll just go play it by ear." "Maybe he doesn't know." "Maybe he's just gonna give me a ticket." "Oh, God." "Oh, God, please don't let us get caught." "God, please, please, God." "Don't let us get caught." "All right, I'm just gonna pull over." "Turn off your engine." "He's putting on his hat." "Oh, my God, he's a Nazi." "What's he doing?" "He's kind of walking this way." "Hello, Officer." "Is there a problem?" "You want to let me see your license, please?" "Right." "Here it is." "You wanna take it out of your wallet, please?" "All right." "I told you to slow down." "Officer, I told her to slow down." "She did." "How fast was I going?" "About 110." "Oh." "You want to get out of the car, please?" "Yes, sir." "Sure." "Come with me, please." "Yes, sir." "This your vehicle?" "Yes, sir, that is." "You want to get in the car, please?" "Yes, sir." "Front or the back?" "Front." "Do you want to take off your eyewear, please?" "Yes, sir." "Am I in trouble, Officer?" "As far as I'm concerned, yes, ma'am, you're in a lot of trouble." "Hello, this is 9-8..." "You want to step back and get in your car again, please?" "Officer, I am so sorry about this, but would you let go of that?" "Now, I really, really apologize, but would you put your hands on the steering wheel?" "See, if you get on that radio, you're gonna find out that we're wanted in two states and probably considered armed and dangerous, at least I am, and then our whole plan's just gonna be all shot to hell." "Louise, take his gun." "Take his gun, Louise." "Right there." "Right." "I'm real sorry." "Excuse me." "You want to step out of the car, please?" "I swear, three days ago, neither one of us would've ever pulled a stunt like this, but if you was ever to meet my husband, you'd understand why." "You want to put your hands on your head, please?" "Louise." "What?" "Shoot the radio." "Right." "The police radio, Louise." "Jesus Christ!" "I'm sorry." "Got it." "Okay." "All right." "You want to step to the back of the car, please?" "Louise, get the keys." "Thelma, what is it?" "What's wrong?" "Air holes." "Open the trunk." "Shit, Thelma." "Who would've thought it?" "You want to step into the trunk, please?" "Please, I have a wife and kids." "Please!" "You do?" "Well, you're lucky." "You be sweet to them, especially your wife." "My husband wasn't sweet to me, look how I turned out." "Now, go on." "Get in there." "Wait, wait, wait." "Wait a second." "Wait a second." "Excuse me." "Oh." "Wait a minute." "Officer, could I have your belt, please?" "Extra ammo." "Good idea." "And..." "And could I trade glasses with you, maybe?" "Thanks." "Okay." " Is that it?" " Uh-huh." "Right." "Officer, I'm real sorry about this." "I apologize, also." "Go." "You ready?" "Hit it." "Now, I know it's crazy, but I just feel like I got a knack for this shit." "I believe you do." "Drive like hell." "The one thing I can't figure out is whether these girls are real smart or just real, real lucky." "It don't matter." "Brains'll only get you so far and luck always runs out." "Louise, we still going to Mexico?" "Yeah." "Then aren't we going in the wrong direction?" "Well, I figure if you take a state policeman, shoot off his car, take his gun and lock him in the trunk, it's best just to get on out of the state if you can." "I heard that." "Hey!" "Don't dent my car!" "I think I fucked up." "I think I got us in a situation where we both could get killed." "Damn, I don't know why I just didn't go to the police right away." "You know why." "You already said." "What'd I say again?" "Nobody'd believe us." "We'd still get in trouble, we'd still have our lives ruined." "You know what else?" "What?" "That guy was hurting me." "If you hadn't come out when you did, he would've hurt me a lot worse." "And probably nothing would've happened to him 'cause everybody did see me dancing with him all night." "They would've made out like I'd asked for it." "My life would've been ruined a whole lot worse than it is now." "At least now I'm having some fun." "And I'm not sorry that son of a bitch is dead." "I'm just sorry it was you that did it and not me." "Hello?" "Let me talk to Slocumb." "She wants to talk to you." "Hello, Louise." "Hi." "How are things going out there?" "Weird." "We got some kind of a snowball effect happening here or something." "You're still with us, though." "Mmm-hmm." "You're somewhere on the face of the earth." "Well, we're not in the middle of nowhere, but we can see it from here." "I swear." "Louise, I almost feel like I know you." "Well, you don't." "You're getting in deeper every moment you're gone." "Would you believe me if I told you this whole thing was an accident?" "I do believe you." "That's what I want everybody to believe." "Trouble is, it doesn't look like an accident." "And you're not here to tell me about it." "I need your help here." "Did Harlan Puckett..." "I don't wanna talk about it." "You wanna come on in?" "Don't think so." "Then I'm sorry." "We're gonna have to charge you with murder." "Now, do you want to come out of this alive?" "You know, certain words and phrases just keep drifting through my mind." "Things like "incarceration," "cavity search," "death by electrocution,"" ""life imprisonment," shit like that." "You know what I'm saying?" "So do I want to come out alive?" "I don't know, I..." "I don't know." "I think we're gonna have to think about that." "Louise, I'll do anything." "I know what's making you run." "I know what happened to you in Texas." "Come on, Louise." "Don't blow it." "We got it!" "Give it to me." "Max, you gotta take me there." "No, Hal, cannot do." "I'm the only one she's ever spoken to." "You've done a good job." "You're no good to me now." "You're no good to me." "There's nothing you can do for me now." "I don't want anybody losing their heads!" "You know what happens." "The volume gets turned way up, and the next thing you know, these girls are gonna get shot!" "What?" "You're not gonna give up on me, are you?" "What do you mean?" "You're not gonna make a deal with that guy?" "I mean, I just want to know." "Thelma, I'm not making any deals." "I mean, I'd understand if you was thinking about it." "In a way, you got something to go back for, Jimmy and all." "Jimmy's not an option." "But..." "I don't know, you know, something's, like, crossed over in me." "And I can't go back." "I mean, I just couldn't live." "I know." "I know what you mean." "Anyway, we don't want to end up on the damn Geraldo show." "Yeah." "They're charging us with murder." "Ooh." "Yeah, they say that we gotta figure out if we want to come in dead or alive." "Gosh, didn't he say anything positive at all?" "You awake?" "Guess you could call it that." "My eyes are open." "Me, too." "I feel awake." "Good." "Wide-awake." "I don't remember ever feeling this awake." "You know what I mean?" "Everything looks different." "You feel like that, too, like you got something to look forward to?" "We'll be drinking margaritas by the sea, mamacita." "Hey, we could change our names." "We could live in a hacienda." "I'm gonna get a job." "I'm gonna work at Club Med." "Yeah." "Now what kind of a deal is that cop gonna have to come up with to beat that?" "Have to be pretty good." "Have to be pretty damn good." "Better not look down if you want to keep on flying" "Put the hammer down Keep it full speed ahead" "Better not look back" "Or you might just wind up crying" "You can keep it moving" "Oh, my God, Louise!" "Oh!" "Look, look!" "See if that's him." "It's him." "It's definitely him." "Pass him." "Better not look back" "Or you might just wind up crying" "You can keep it moving if you don't look down" "Hey, baby!" "You ready for a big dick?" "Hi." "Hi, there." "You all right?" "We're fine."

"Fresno." "We've been seeing you all over the place." "Why don't you take off those shades?" "I want to see your eyes." "Yeah, I been seeing you, too." "Yeah, we think you have really bad manners." "Yeah." "Yeah, where do you get off behaving like that with women you don't even know?" "Huh?" "How'd you feel if somebody did that to your mother?" "Or your sister?" "Or your wife?" "Huh?" "What are you talking about?" "You know good and damn well what I'm talking about." "I mean, really." "That business with your tongue." "What is that?" "That is disgusting!" "And, oh, my God, that other shit of pointing to your lap." "I mean, what is that supposed to mean exactly, huh?" "Does that mean "Pull over." "I wanna show you what a big, fat slob I am"?" "Yeah, or does that mean, "Suck my dick"?" "You women are crazy!" "You got that right." "We think you should apologize." "I ain't apologizing for shit!" "You say you're sorry." "Fuck that!" "You say you're sorry, or I'm gonna make you fucking sorry." "Oh, Jesus." "I'll bet you even called us "beavers" on your CB radio, didn't you?" "Yeah." "Sure did!" "Damn!" "I hate that." "I hate being called a beaver, don't you?" "You gonna apologize or what?" "Fuck you!" "Ooh!" "Oh!" "Goddamn, you bitch!" "I don't think he is gonna apologize." "Nah, I don't think so." "You bitches!" "You bitches from hell!" "God damn it!" "You're gonna have to pay for this!" "You're gonna have to pay for that!" "I'm gonna make you!" "I'm gonna make you pay for this!" "You hear me?" "Oh, my God!" "Where'd you learn to shoot like that?" "Off the TV." "How about you?" "Where'd you learn to shoot like that?" "Texas." "Whoo."
