Jenny Hayden quotes from Starman (1984)

View Quote Don't be afraid. I mean you no harm.

View Quote You want to know what kidnapped is? Its being dragged out of your house in the middle of the night, by some … whatever you are — being forced to drive all night with a gun pointed at your side and not knowing where you're going or what's going to happen to you when you get there. So if you're going to shoot me, go ahead — because I'd rather be shot than go on being scared to death.

What do you want here? What are you doing? What do you want with me? Where are you taking me? Why do you look so much like Scott?
Starman: [starts singing as Scott had done in a film] I can't get no … satisfaction.
Jenny Hayden: That does it. [swerves into the lane of an oncoming van, forcing it off the road, spins her car to a stop, and begins to get out] Help!

Jenny Hayden: Okay? Are you crazy? You almost got us killed! You said you watched me, you said you knew the rules!
Starman: I do know the rules.

View Quote Starman: Define "Love."
Jenny Hayden: Love is, um … it's when you care … more for someone else than you do for yourself.
But it's not just that it's — it's when someone isn't … a part of you, and when they —
Starman: What?
Jenny Hayden: Scott is dead. He was killed in an accident. When someone you love dies — oh, shit, shit.
Starman: Define "shit."
Jenny Hayden: Don't say that. It's not a nice word.
Starman: Shit.
Jenny Hayden: Don't mind him, he's just learning to speak English.
Roadhouse Waitress: Well, he's got a hell of a start on it!

View Quote Starman: I must go back. But there is something I must tell you. I gave you a baby tonight.
Jenny Hayden: No. That is impossible, I can't have a child. I've been to a doctor. A couple of them.
Starman: Believe what I tell you. A boy baby. He will be human — a baby of your husband, but also he will be my baby. He will know everything I know and when he grows to manhood he will be a teacher.
