Oh Duane, hurry. What's wrong, honey?
Duane Uh, I don't know.
That tickles. You know I can't stand to be tickled. Well, what's the matter? Aren't you gonna do it?
Duane I don't know what's wrong.
What do you mean? How could anything be wrong? Just go on and do it. Oh! What's the matter with you?
Duane I don't know. I don't know. Somethin's happened.
Well, get off a minute, for goodness sake. You might fall and mash me. It's 'cause you and Sonny went down to Mexico. No telling what you got down there. I just hate you. I don't know why I ever went with you. Put some clothes on! You think I wanna sit around here and look at you nekkid? I might never get to not be a virgin. I think you're the meanest boy I ever saw. My mother was dead right about you. You better not tell one soul - you just pretend it was wonderful.
Duane [on the phone]
Hi Jacy, it's Duane.
What's on your feeble mind Duane?
Duane Just go with me once more.
You find somebody else to pester. I've got a new boyfriend and I can't be talking to you...I guess I've just been wantin' to go with him all along and didn't realize it.
Duane I never said I blamed you for it. I don't blame you much. I just never thought you'd do me that way. I thought we was still best friends.
We are. What's you so mad for? I never done nothin' to you.
Duane I guess screwin' my girl ain't nothin' to you.
I ain't screwin' her.
Duane The hell you ain't.
Well, I ain't. But she's not your girl anymore, anyway.
Duane She is my girl. I don't care if we did break up.
Miss Mosey Nobody wants to come to shows no more. Kids got baseball in the summer, television all the time. If Sam had lived, I believe we could've kept it goin'. But I just didn't have the know-how.
Duane Won't be much to do in town with the picture show closed.
Yeah.
Duane [about Jacy]
I ain't over her yet, you know...it's the damndest thing...That's the only reason you and I got into it that time. Reckon she likes it down in Dallas?
It's hard to say. Maybe she does. Reckon you and her woulda got it all straightened out if I hadn'ta butted in?
Duane Aw, now. No. They'd've annulled me too, even if we had. You all, uh, never even got to the motel?
No.
