Blood Simple quotes

Strip joint DJ

And remember, gentlemen, we're always here, two to two, A.M. to P.M., three hundred and sixty-four days and Christmas, God willing and the creek don't rise.

Teenager
[to Marty]

Hey mister, how'd you break your pussyfinger?

[about Marty]

He's real careful. Fact is, he's anal.

Ray

Huh?

Yeah, he told me once himself. He said to me... [taps herself on the forehead] "In here, Abby. In here... I'm anal."

Ray

Well I'll be damned.

I couldn't believe it either. Me on the other hand, I got lots of personality. Marty always said I had too much. 'Course he was never big on personality. He sent me to a psychiatrist to see if he could calm me down some.

Ray

Yeah? What happened?

Psychiatrist said I was the healthiest person he'd ever met, so Marty fired him.

[in a strip joint]

Looks like the state legislature is out of session.

I thought this is where they met.

He gave me a little pearl-handled .38 for out first anniversary.

Ray

Uh-huh.

Figured I'd better leave before I used it on him. I don't know how you can stand him.

Ray

Well, I'm only an employee, I ain't married to him.

I ain't afraid of you, Marty.

Visser
[laughing]

Well ma'am...If I see him, I'll sure give him the message.

I don't know. Sometimes I think there's something wrong with him. Like maybe he's sick? Mentally?...Or is it maybe me, do you think?

Ray

Listen, I ain't a marriage counselor. I don't know what goes on, I don't wanna know... But I like you. I always liked you...

I said, "Marty, how come you're anal and I gotta go to the psychiatrist?"

Ray

What'd he say?

Nothing. He's like you, he doesn't say much.

Ray

Thanks.

Except when he doesn't say things, they're usually nasty.

Ray

Mm-hmm.

When you don't, they're usually nice.

You leaving?

Ray

Isn't that what you want? [she shakes her head no] Wanna come with me?

But first I gotta know what happened.

Ray

What do you want to know?

You broke into the bar. You wanted to get your money. You and Marty had a fight. Something happened...

[Ray shakes his head, smiling]

I don't know, wasn't it you? Maybe a burglar broke in, and you found--

Ray

With your gun? Nobody broke in, Abby. I'll tell you the truth...Truth is, I've felt sick the last couple of days. Can't eat... Can't sleep... When I try to I... Abby...The truth is... he was alive when I buried him.

Got a job for you.

Visser

Well, if the pay's right and it's legal I'll do it.

It's not strictly legal.

Visser

If the pay's right I'll do it.

It's, uh... it's in reference to that gentleman and my wife. The more I think about it the more irritated I get.

Visser

Yeah? Well how irritated are you?

Visser
[Marty doesn't answer.] [laughs]

Gee, I'm sorry to hear that. Can you tell me what you want me to do or is it a secret?

Listen, I'm not--this isn't a joke here.

Visser

You want me to kill 'em.

I didn't say that. [pause] Well?

Visser

Well what?

What do you think?

Visser

You're an idiot.

So, uh... this wouldn't interest you.

Visser

I didn't say that. All I said was you're an idiot. Hell, you been thinking about it so much it's driving you simple.

Lover-boy oughta lock his door. I love you...That's a stupid thing to say, right?

I... I love you too.

[smiling]

No. You're just saying that because you're scared. You left your weapon behind...He'll kill you too.
