Michael quotes from Red Rock West (1993)

Lyle

What the **** are you doing?

Michael

My car broke down.

Lyle

Where? I don't see a car.

Michael

It's just over that ridge.

Lyle

'Just over that ridge', huh? Well you're one lucky son of a bitch, aren't you? If I hadn't had my brakes just done, I'd be picking your brains out of my radiator. ****.

Michael

Look, I hate to ask you this, but do you think you could give me a ride?

Lyle

I don't know. You're not dangerous, are you?

Have you ever been married?

Michael

No.

It does strange things to people.

Does that tickle? 'Cause it won't if I pull the trigger! What the hell are you doing on my truck?

Michael

Sorry boss, I didn't mean to scare 'ya.

Do I look scared to you? What the hell are you doing on my truck?

Michael

I was just trying to ditch my old lady.

You were WHAT?

Michael

Yeah, she caught me in the barn, and I wasn't supposed to be there, and she started sproutin' horns and shit.

Bullshit. Bullshit. [**** gun and smiles] Look at that uncontrolled response to bullshit. I hate it when that happens!

Michael

Yeah, I don't like it either, but I had to get the hell out of there.

So you just climbed up on my truck?

Michael

Yeah.

That's kind of stupid, isn't it?

Michael

Yeah, well, you haven't met my wife. She's spooky.

Yeah? Yeah? You're lying to me. Get off my truck. Come on, get off. [truck driver goes back inside his vehicle and offers Michael a lift]

Michael

Oh, man.

Lyle

I nearly greased your can back there. The least I can do is buy you a beer.

Michael

Thanks but I should get my car, you've done enough already.

Lyle

Now I said I'd help you get your car.

Michael

Really, it's okay.

Lyle

You don't wanna drink with me? I'm not good enough to buy you a beer?

Lyle

I knew a guy like you once. Thought he was better than everybody else. That's it ain't it Mike? You think you're better than me, don't you?

Michael

Why don't you just blow me?

Lyle

Ohhh, you think you're real hot shit don't ya Mike? Huh? Well who's got the gun cowboy?

Michael

Is there a problem officer?

Yeah. Looks like we have an attempted homicide on our hands.

Michael

Homicide? What are you talkin' about, it was an accident.

Well then how do you explain these...?

He's been shot twice in the stomach.
