A scene from Romancing the Stone 1984
Grogan
[Fantasy sequence of a scene from one of her books]

What's it gonna be, Angelina?

Joan Wilder
[voiceover narration]

It was Grogan: the filthiest, dirtiest, dumbest excuse for a man west of the Missouri River.

Grogan

So, you can die two ways, angel: quick like the tongue of a snake, or slower than the molasses in January.

Joan Wilder
[voiceover narration]

But it was October.

Grogan

I'll kill you, goddammit, if it's the Fourth of July! Where is it? Uhh. Get over there!

Joan Wilder
[voiceover narration]

I told him to get out, now that he had what he came for.

Grogan

Not quite, angel. [spits] Take 'em off. Do it! Come on!

Joan Wilder
[Angelina kills Grogan by throwing a concealed knife] [voiceover]

That was the end of Grogan... the man who killed my father, raped and murdered my sister, burned my ranch, shot my dog, and stole my Bible! But if there was one law of the west: Bastards had brothers, who seemed to ride forever.
