A scene from The Last Picture Show 1971
Sonny

How come you've stayed with the Coach - you don't like him much?

Ruth

I wasn't brought up to leave a husband. I guess that's why. Or maybe I was just scared to. I never noticed how ugly this room is. What's your favorite color?

Sonny

I don't know - blue.

Ruth

Maybe I'll re-paper it.

Sonny

Why'd you marry him?

Ruth

I don't know. My mother didn't like him. Maybe that was it. When I was 20 years old, I thought hairy-chested football coaches were about it. I'm gonna buy us a new quilt - a blue one.

Sonny

What do ya think he'd do if he found us?

Ruth

Shoot us, probably. He's always glad to have an excuse to use his deer rifle.
