Verna Maybe that's why I like you, Tom. I've never met anyone who made being a son of a bitch such a point of pride.

12 scenes Verna Verna That's not why you came, either.
Tell me why I came.
Verna [seductively]
The oldest reason there is.
There are friendlier places to drink.
Verna Shouldn't you be doing your job?
Intimidating helpless women is my job.
Verna Then go find one, and intimidate her.
Verna You think you've raised hell.
Sister, when I've raised hell, you'll know it!
Verna What you doing?
Walking...
Verna Don't let on any more than you have to.
...in the rain.
Verna Leo's got the right idea. I like him, he's honest and he's got a heart.
Then it's true what they say. Opposites attract.
Verna I thought you said you didn't care about Leo no more.
I said we're through. That's not the same thing.
Verna Why don't we just pick up and leave town? There's nothing keeping you here. I know there's nothing keeping me.
What about Bernie?
Verna He could go with us.
You, me and Bernie; where would we go, Verna? Niagara Falls?
'Tom: Rug Daniels is dead.
Verna Gee, that's tough.
Don't get hysterical.
All in all not a bad guy - if looks, brains and personality don't count.
Verna You better hope they don't.
Verna What're you chewin' over?
Dream I had once. I was walkin' in the woods, I don't know why. Wind came up and blew me hat off.
Verna And you chased it, right? You ran and ran, finally caught up to it and you picked it up. But it wasn't a hat anymore and it changed into something else, something wonderful.
Nah, it stayed a hat and no, I didn't chase it. Nothing more foolish than a man chasin' his hat.
Verna That's you all over, Tom. A lie, and no heart.
