Hell or High Water quotes

T-Bone Waitress

I've been working here for 44 years. Ain't nobody ever ordered nothing but a T-Bone steak and baked potato. Except one time, this asshole from New York ordered a trout, back in 1987. We ain't got no goddamned trout.

How did you do it? Oh, never mind. I'll figure that out in time. Why? Why did you do it? I know why your brother, Tanner, did it. He robbed them banks 'cause he liked it. He shot my partner 300 yards away because he liked it; it made him feel good. And if I hadn't blown his shit-for-brains out, there'd be a new truck out front with jet-skis and whatever else he'd think to buy. He'd spend it all just to give him an excuse to steal some more. But not you. There's nothing new around here, 'cept them pump-jacks. Each one of 'em making you a month what you and your brother stole from all four banks combined. Help me understand that. Help me understand why four people died so you could steal money that it don't seem you've spend, that it don't seem you need.

You got a family?

My partner had a family. Big one. They don't got no pump-jacks in their backyard.

I didn't kill your friend...

Yes, you did. By setting this thing in motion. Do you expect me to believe your dim-witted brother planned this? Oh, no, this was smart. This was you.

I been poor my whole life. Told my parents, their parents before them... It's like a disease, passing from generation to generation. It becomes a sickness, that's what it is. It infects every person you know. But not my boys. Not anymore. This is theirs now. Now, I ain't never killed no one in my life but if you want me to start with you, let's get on with it, old man. See if you can grab that pistol before I can blast you off this porch.

Bear

I am a Comanche. Do you know what it means? It means 'Enemy to everyone'.

Do you know what that makes me? A Comanche.

Oh, who knows. Maybe one of these bank robbers is gonna want a gunfight and I can dodge my retirement in a blaze of glory.

Well, I've seen you shoot. There won't be much glory in it.

Old Man

You fellas robbin' the bank?

What's it look like, old man?

Old Man

Crazy! Y'all ain't even Mexicans.

You got a gun on you, old man?

Old Man

You're damn right I got a gun on me. Y'all going to steal my gun too?

We ain't stealing from you. We're stealing from the bank.

[referring to a TV evangelist]

He wouldn't know God if he crawled up his pant leg and bit him on the pecker.

I've been poor my whole life, like a disease passing from generation to generation. But, not my boys. Not anymore.
