You know, I read where they, uh, invented this car that runs on, ummm... that runs on, ummm... when you boil water?
Terry Steam.
Right, steam. A car that you could ride around in and not cause a stink. But do you know they will not even let us have it? Can you believe it? Why? Man! He likes to create a stink! I mean, I've seen filth that you wouldn't believe. Ugh! What a stink! I don't even want to talk about it.
Hey, follow that truck. They know the best places to stop.
That's an old maid's tale.
Bullshit! Truck drivers are the only ones that know the best places to stop on the road.
Salesmen and cops are the ones. If you'd ever waitressed, honey, you'd know that.
Don't call me honey, mac.
Don't call me mac, honey.
I wouldn't be a waitress. They're nasty and full of crap.
You just hold onto your tongue.
Hold on to this. [gestures with her middle finger]
If you think you can talk to me like that --
Shut up, all of ya!
I had a baby kitty-cat once. It was a little fluffy thing. Bobby gave it to me. Remember, Bobby? [Samia stops angrily in mid-sentence] The little pussy cat you gave me.
Yeah.
It had two little white front paws. You know, I was crazy after her. We left her at some friends house and she got squashed flatter than a tortilla right outside their mobile home.
Samia There. Do you see what I mean? The choice of words juxtaposed with the image of a fluffy kitten. The enchantment of words: "squashed," "flat" et cetera, et cetera.
She was.
Samia Perhaps, but it was just what I was trying to point out.
Don't sit there pointing at her.
Samia I beg your pardon.
I said don't point at her, you creep!
Samia But I was just telling about the—
Where the hell do you get the ass to tell anybody anything about class or who the hell's got it or what she typifies? You shouldn't even be in the same room with her, you pompous celibate!
Samia Carl, this is really too much.
Carl Just calm down now, Bobby.
You're totally full of shit. You're all full of shit!
That was real good, wasn't it? I finally did it!
Great. You throw the big Z's for 19 frames, and then you throw a strike on the last ball of a losing game. Wonderful. Just wonderful. [Turns around to bowlers at next lane] Isn't that wonderful, ladies?
Are you talking to us?
Wonderful.
You love me, Bobby?
What do you think? [they kiss]
Where we're goin', it's gonna get colder than hell.
Nah, it's okay. I'm fine. Fine. I'm fine.
Ants! Why don't we all line up like a goddamned bunch of ants! Its the most beautiful part of the day!
I'll go out with you, or I'll stay in with you, or I'll do anything that you like for me to do, if you tell me that you love me.
I don't know if you'd be particularly interested in hearing anything about me. My life, I mean... Most of it doesn't add up to much... that I could relate as a way of life that you'd approve of...I'd like to be able to tell you why, but I don't really...I mean, I move around a lot because things tend to get bad when I stay. And I'm looking...for auspicious beginnings, I guess...I'm trying to, you know, imagine your half of this conversation...My feeling is, that if you could talk, we probably wouldn't be talking. That's pretty much how it got to be before... I left...Are you all right? I don't know what to say...Tita suggested that we try to...I don't know. I think that she...seems to feel we've got...some understanding to reach...She totally denies the fact that we were never that comfortable with each other to begin with...The best that I can do, is apologize. We both know that I was never really that good at it, anyway...I'm sorry it didn't work out.
I had to leave this place because I got depressed seeing all the crap. And the thing is, they're making more crap, you know. They got so many stores and stuff and junk full of crap. I can't believe it...Who? Man, that's who. Pretty soon, there won't be any room for man. They're selling more crap that people go and buy than you can imagine. Crap. I believe everybody should have a big hole where they throw the stuff in and burn it...A disposal? What's that, but more crap? I've never seen such crap...People's homes, just filth. I've been in people's homes...I'm seeing more filth, a lot of filth. What they need to do every day, no, once in a while, is do a cockroach thing, you know, where they, uh, spray the homes, Can you imagine if their doors were painted a pretty color and they had a pot outside...and they picked up. I mean, then it wouldn't be filthy, with uh, Coke bottles and whisky and uh... [Pointing at billboards and roadside signs] those signs everywhere. Well, they should be erased! All those signs selling you crap and more crap and more crap. And I - I don't know. I don't know. I don't even want to talk about it...It's just filthy. People are filthy. I think that's the biggest thing that's wrong with people. I think they wouldn't be as violent if they were clean, because then they wouldn't have anybody to pick on. Dirt. Not dirt. See, dirt isn't bad. It's filth. Filth is bad. That's what starts maggots and riots.
I move around a lot, not because I'm looking for anything really, but 'cause I'm getting away from things that get bad if I stay.
I said don't point at her, you pompous celibate!
If you wouldn't open your mouth, everything would be just fine.
There isn't anybody gonna look after you AND love you, as good as I do.
You can play on the piano. Your whole damn family can play some kind of musical instrument. All I'm asking is for you to help me improve my musical talent.
