Jacy Farrow [to Lester]
My Gawd. I'm glad it wasn't on fire. I would have burned to death before you got one button undone.

3 quotes Jacy Farrow Jacy Farrow [to Sonny]
Not here. I'm too old for screwin' in cars. I don't like to hurry...I'm afraid to right now. I think my folks are watchin' me. They know I don't wanna go to college and they might think we're gonna run off and get married. We'll do it when it's safe. We've got all summer.
Jacy Farrow [to Sonny, after they get married]
Goodness, wouldn't it be just awful if Momma and Daddy got the police after us?...Well, I had to leave 'em a note, you know, so they wouldn't be worried out of their mind.

I'd just hate to see you marry him, that's all. You wouldn't be rich anymore, and in about two months...
Jacy I don't care about money...
...he'd quit flattering you.
Jacy Not at all.
Well, you're pretty stupid then.
Jacy Well, you married Daddy when he was poor. And he got rich, didn't he?
I scared your Daddy into gettin' rich, beautiful.
Jacy Well, if Daddy could do it, Duane could too.
Not married to you. You're not scary enough.
Jacy Well, you're rich and you're miserable. I sure don't want to be like you.
Not much danger of that.
Jacy Why can't I just stay here and go to college in Wichita Falls?
Because everything is flat and empty here, and nothin' to do.
Bobby
You a virgin?
Jacy I guess I am.
Bobby
Too bad.
Jacy I don't wanna be, though.
Bobby
I don't blame ya. Come see me when you're not.
Jacy Oh Duane, hurry. What's wrong, honey?
Uh, I don't know.
Jacy That tickles. You know I can't stand to be tickled. Well, what's the matter? Aren't you gonna do it?
I don't know what's wrong.
Jacy What do you mean? How could anything be wrong? Just go on and do it. Oh! What's the matter with you?
I don't know. I don't know. Somethin's happened.
Jacy 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.
Winnie
...What was it like?
Jacy I just can't describe it. I just can't describe it in words.
Jacy What's on your feeble mind Duane?
Just go with me once more.
Jacy 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.
Jacy Oh, he's just awful, Momma. Why do you fool with him? Daddy's a nicer man than him, isn't he?
He sure is, beautiful. Your Daddy's a very nice man. I oughta been givin' Abilene hell, instead of him.
Jacy I don't know what I'm gonna do. Bobby was the last one - I'm just gonna be an old maid.
Oh no, honey, that's just the way it goes sometimes, you know. You win a few, you lose a few.
Jacy What do you do? Nothin's ever the way it's supposed to be at all.
You're right, come on. I wanna tell you somethin'. What I've done has not worked out too well. I think maybe we better think of somethin' else for you.
Jacy You just can't believe how famous we are. We're all anybody talks about in this town now...I want us to get married...Just as soon as you want to. Don't you want to?...I bet the whole town'll be knocked for a loop if we do. They'll never forget it.
But ain't you goin' to college?
Jacy Oh, I don't care about that. I love you, and that's more important. You were so dear to fight for me. My folks won't like it, but we can run off.
They'll kill us.
Jacy Oh, no they won't.
Kill me, anyhow.
Jacy They'll get over it. You're workin' for Daddy now anyway, and pretty soon they'll love you just as much as I do. Can we?
Sure. I just hope I can see to drive.
Jacy Don't you worry. I can drive.
