Travis Bickle quotes from Taxi Driver (1976)

Travis Bickle

May 10th. Thank God for the rain which has helped wash away the garbage and trash off the sidewalks. I'm workin' long hours now, six in the afternoon to six in the morning. Sometimes even eight in the morning, six days a week. Sometimes seven days a week. It's a long hustle but it keeps me real busy. I can take in three, three fifty a week. Sometimes even more when I do it off the meter. All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets. I go all over. I take people to the Bronx, Brooklyn, I take 'em to Harlem. I don't care. Don't make no difference to me. It does to some. Some won't even take spooks. Don't make no difference to me.

Travis Bickle

Each night when I return the cab to the garage, I have to clean the **** off the back seat. Some nights, I clean off the blood.

Travis Bickle

Twelve hours of work and I still can't sleep. Damn. Days go on and on. They don't end.

Travis Bickle

All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other people.

Travis Bickle

I first saw her at Palantine Campaign headquarters at 63rd and Broadway. She was wearing a white dress. She appeared like an angel. Out of this filthy mess, she is alone. They... cannot... touch... her.

Travis Bickle

Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man.

Travis Bickle

I called Betsy again at her office and she said maybe we'd go to a movie together after she gets off work tomorrow. That's my day off. At first she hesitated but I called her again and then she agreed. Betsy, Betsy. Oh no, Betsy what? I forgot to ask her last name again. Damn. I got to remember stuff like that.

Travis Bickle

Hello Betsy. Hi, it's Travis. How ya doin'? Listen, uh, I'm, I'm sorry about the, the other night. I didn't know that was the way you felt about it. Well, I-I didn't know that was the way you felt. I-I-I would have taken ya somewhere else. Uh, are you feeling better or oh you maybe had a virus or somethin', a 24-hour virus you know. It happens. Yeah, umm, you uh, you're workin' hard. Yeah. Uh, would you like to have, uh, some dinner, uh with me in the next, you know, few days or somethin'? Well, how about just a cup of coffee? I'll come by the, uh, headquarters or somethin', we could, uh...Oh, OK, OK. Did you get my flowers in the...? You didn't get them? I sent some flowers, uh...Yeah, well, OK, OK. Can I call you again? Uh, tomorrow or the next day? OK. No, I'm gonna...OK. Yeah, sure, OK. So long.

Travis Bickle

I tried several times to call her, but after the first call, she wouldn't come to the phone any longer. I also sent flowers but with no luck. The smell of the flowers only made me sicker. The headaches got worse. I think I got stomach cancer. I shouldn't complain though. You're only as healthy, you're only as healthy as you feel. You're only as...healthy...as...you...feel.

Travis Bickle

I realize now how much she's just like the others - cold and distant, and many people are like that. Women for sure. They're like a union.

Travis Bickle

Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man. June 8th. My life has taken another turn again. The days can go on with regularity over and over, one day indistinguishable from the next. A long continuous chain. Then suddenly, there is a change.

Travis Bickle

June 29th. I gotta get in shape now. Too much sittin' is ruinin' my body. Too much abuse has gone on for too long. From now on, it will be fifty push-ups each morning, fifty pull-ups. There'll be no more pills, there'll be no more bad food, no more destroyers of my body. From now on, it will be total organization. Every muscle must be tight.

Travis Bickle

The idea had been growing in my brain for some time. True force. All the king's men cannot put it back together again.

Travis Bickle

Yeah. Huh? Huh? Huh? (I'm) faster than you, you ****in' son of a...I saw you comin', you ****, shit-heel. I'm standin' here. You make the move. You make the move. It's your move. [He draws his gun from his concealed forearm holster] Don't try it, you ****er. You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? [He turns around to look behind him] Well, who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well, I'm the only one here. Who the **** do you think you're talkin' to? Oh yeah? Huh? OK. [He whips out his gun again] Huh?

Travis Bickle

Listen you ****ers, you screwheads. Here's a man who would not take it anymore. Who would not let...Listen you ****ers, you screwheads. Here's a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the ****s, the dogs, the filth, the shit, here is someone who stood up. HERE IS --- [He draws his gun] You're dead.

Travis Bickle

Dear Father and Mother: July is the month I remember which brings not only your wedding anniversary but also Father's Day and Mother's birthday. I'm sorry I can't remember the exact dates, but I hope this card will take care of them all. I'm sorry again I cannot send you my address like I promised to last year. But the sensitive nature of my work for the government demands utmost secrecy. I know you will understand. I am healthy and well and making lots of money. I have been going with a girl for several months and I know you would be proud if you could see her. Her name is Betsy but I can tell you no more than that...I hope this card finds you all well as it does me. I hope no one has died. Don't worry about me. One day, they'll be a knock on the door and it'll be me. Love Travis.

Travis Bickle

Dear Iris: This money should be used for your trip. By the time you read this, I will be dead. Travis.

Travis Bickle

Now I see it clearly. My whole life is pointed in one direction. I see that now. There never has been any choice for me.

Travis

I can't sleep nights.

Personnel Officer

There's porno theatres for that.

Travis

I know. I tried that.

Personnel Officer

So whaddaya do now?

Travis

I ride around nights mostly. Subways, buses. Figure you know, I'm gonna do that, I might as well get paid for it.

Personnel Officer

Wanna work uptown nights - South Bronx, Harlem?

Travis

I'll work any time, anywhere.

Personnel Officer

Will ya work Jewish holidays?

Travis

Any time, anywhere.

Personnel Officer

All right. Let me see your chauffeur's license. How's your driving record?

Travis

It's clean, it's real clean like my conscience...

Betsy

And why do you feel that you have to volunteer to me?

Travis

Because I think that you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

Betsy

Thanks. But what do you think of Palantine? ...Charles Palantine, the man you're volunteering to help elect President.

Travis

Well, I'm sure he'd make a good President. I don't know exactly what his policies are, but I'm sure he'd make a good one.

Betsy

Do you want to canvass?

Travis

Yeah, I'll canvass.

Travis

I'll tell you why. I think you're a lonely person. I drive by this place a lot and I see you here. I see a lot of people around you. And I see all these phones and all this stuff on your desk. It means nothing. Then when I came inside and I met you, I saw in your eyes and I saw the way you carried yourself that you're not a happy person. And I think you need something. And if you want to call it a friend, you can call it a friend.

Betsy

Are you gonna be my friend?

Travis

Yeah. What do ya say? It's a little hard standing here and asking...Five minutes, that's all, just outside. Right around here. I'm there to protect ya. [He quickly flexes both arms, causing her to laugh] Come on, just take a little break.

Betsy

I have a break at four o'clock and if you're here...

Travis

Four o'clock today?

Betsy

Yes.

Travis

I'll be here.

Betsy

I'm sure you will.

Travis

All right, four p.m.

Betsy

Right.

Travis

Outside in front?

Betsy

Yeah.

Travis

OK. Oh my name is Travis. [He extends his hand to her] Betsy?

Betsy

Travis.

Travis

Appreciate this, Betsy.

Travis

I know what you mean. I've got the same problems. I gotta get organized. Oh little things, like my apartment, my possessions. I should get one of those signs that says 'One of these days I'm gonna get organizized.'

Betsy

You mean 'organized'?

Travis

Organiziezed. Organiziezed - it's a joke. O-R-G-A-N-E-Z-I-E-Z-D.

Betsy

Oh, you mean 'Organizized'. Like those little signs they have in offices that say "Thimk".

Travis

I would say he has quite a few problems. His energy seems to go in the wrong places. When I walked in and I saw you two sitting there, I could just tell by the way you were both relating that there was no connection whatsoever. And I felt when I walked in that there was something between us. There was an impulse that we were both following. So that gave me the right to come in and talk to you. Otherwise I never would have felt that I had the right to talk to you or say anything to you. I never would have had the courage to talk to you. And with him I felt there was nothing and I could sense it. When I walked in, I knew I was right. Did you feel that way?

Betsy

I wouldn't be here if I didn't.

Travis

...That fellow you work with. I don't like him. Not that I don't like him, I just think he's silly. I don't think he respects you.

Betsy

I don't believe I've ever met anyone quite like you.

Betsy

You know what you remind me of?

Travis

What?

Betsy

That song by Kris Kristofferson. [She's referring to the song Pilgrim Chapter 33]

Travis

Who's that?

Betsy

A songwriter. 'He's a prophet...he's a prophet and a pusher, partly truth, partly fiction. A walking contradiction.'

Travis

You sayin' that about me?

Betsy

Who else would I be talkin' about?

Travis

I'm no pusher. I never have pushed.

Betsy

No, no. Just the part about the contradictions. You are that.

Travis

I'm one of your biggest supporters, you know. I tell everybody that comes in this taxi that they have to vote for you.

Palantine

Why thank you - [Pleased, he glances to check Travis' picture, identification and license posted in the rear seat] - Travis.

Travis

I'm sure you're gonna win sir. Everybody I know is gonna vote for ya. You know in fact, I was gonna put one of your stickers in my taxi but you know, the company said it was against their policy. But they don't know anything, you know. They're a bunch of jerks.

Palantine

Let me tell you something. I have learned more about America from riding in taxi cabs than in all the limos in the country...Can I ask you something, Travis?

Travis

Sure.

Palantine

What is the one thing about this country that bugs you the most?

Travis

Well, I don't know. I don't follow political issues that closely, sir. I don't know.

Palantine

Oh but there must be something.

Travis

Well. [He thinks] Whatever it is, you should clean up this city here, because this city here is like an open sewer you know. It's full of filth and scum. And sometimes I can hardly take it. Whatever-whoever becomes the President should just [Travis honks the horn] really clean it up. You know what I mean? Sometimes I go out and I smell it, I get headaches it's so bad, you know...They just never go away you know...It's like...I think that the President should just clean up this whole mess here. You should just flush it right down the ****in' toilet.

Palantine

Well, uh, I think I know what you mean Travis. But it's not gonna be easy. We're gonna have to make some radical changes.

Travis

Damn straight.

Palantine

Nice talkin' to you, Travis. [They shake hands]

Travis

Nice talking to you sir. You're a good man. I know you're gonna win.

Betsy

You've got to be kidding.

Travis

What?

Betsy

This is a dirty movie.

Travis

No, no, this is, this is a movie that, uh, a lot of couples come to, all kinds of couples go here.

Betsy

Are you sure about that?

Travis

Sure. I've seen 'em all the time.

Travis

Where are you going?

Betsy

Have to leave now.

Travis

Why?

Betsy

I don't know why I came in here. I don't like these movies.

Travis

Well, I mean, I, you know, I didn't know that you, you would feel that way about this movie. I don't know much about movies, but if I...

Betsy

Are these the only kind of movies you go to?

Travis

Well, yeah, I mean I come - this is not so bad.

Betsy

Taking me to a place like this is about as exciting to me as saying: 'Let's ****.'

Travis

Uh. There are other places I can take you. There are plenty of other movies I can take you to. I don't know much about them but I could take you to other places...

Travis

Why won't you talk to me? Why don't you answer my calls when I call? You think I don't know you're here.

Tom

Let's not have any trouble.

Travis

You think I don't know. You think I don't know.

Tom

Would you please leave?

Travis

Get your hands off. [to Betsy] You're in a hell, and you're gonna die in hell like the rest of 'em. You're like the rest of 'em.

Travis

Well, I know you and I ain't talked too much, you know, but I figured you've been around a lot so you could...

Wizard

Shoot. That's why they call me the Wizard.

Travis

I got, it's just that I got a, I got a...

Wizard

Things uh, things got ya down?

Travis

Yeah.

Wizard

Yeah, it happens to the best of us.

Travis

Yeah, I got me a real down, real...I just wanna go out and, and you know like really, really, really do somethin'.

Wizard

The taxi life you mean?

Travis

Yeah, well. Naw, I don't know. I just wanna go out. I really, you know, I really wanna, I got some bad ideas in my head, I just...

Wizard

Look, look at it this way, you know uh, a man, a man takes a job, you know, and that job, I mean like that, and that it becomes what he is. You know like uh, you do a thing and that's what you are. Like I've been a, I've been a cabbie for seventeen years, ten years at night and I still don't own my own cab. You know why? 'Cause I don't want to. I must be what I, what I want. You know, to be on the night shift drivin' somebody else's cab. Understand? You, you, you become, you get a job, you you become the job. One guy lives in Brooklyn, one guy lives in Sutton Place, you get a lawyer, another guy's a doctor, another guy dies, another guy gets well, and you know, people are born. I envy you your youth. Go out and get laid. Get drunk, you know, do anything. 'Cause you got no choice anyway. I mean we're all ****, more or less you know.

Travis

Yeah, I don't know. That's about the dumbest thing I ever heard.

Wizard

I'm not Bertrand Russell. Well what do ya want. I'm a cabbie you know. What do I know? I mean, I don't even know what the **** you're talkin' about.

Travis

Yeah I don't know. Maybe I don't know either.

Wizard

Don't worry so much. Relax Killer, you're gonna be all right. I know I seen a lot of people and uh, I know.

Travis

That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.

Andy

There you go - a supreme high re-sale weapon. Look at that. Look at that. That's a beauty. I could sell those guns to some jungle bunny in Harlem for five hundred bucks. But I just deal high-quality goods to the right people. How about that? This might be a little too big for practical purposes in which case for you, I'd recommend .38 snub nose. Look at this. Look at it. That's a beautiful little gun. It's nickel-plated, snub nose, otherwise the same as the service revolver. That'll stop anything that moves. The Magnum - they use that in Africa for killin' elephants. That .38 - it's a fine gun. Some of these guns are like toys. That .38 - you go out and hammer nails with it all day, come back and it will cut dead center on target every time. It's got a really nice action to it and a heck of a whallop. You interested in a automatic? It's a Colt .25 Automatic. It's a nice little gun. It's a beautiful little gun. It holds six shots in the clip, one shot in the chamber, if you're dumb enough to put a round in the chamber. Here, look at this. 380 Walther, holds eight shots in the clip. That's a nice gun. Now that's a beautiful little gun. Look at that. During World War II, they used this gun to replace the P38. Just given out to officers. Ain't that a little honey?

Travis

How much for everything?

Andy

Only a jack-ass would carry that cannon in the streets like that. Here. Here's a beautiful hand-made holster I had made in Mexico. $400 dollars...How about dope? Grass. Hash. Coke. Mescaline. Downers. Nebutol. Tuonal. Chloral Hydrates? How about any Uppers? Amphetamines.

Travis

No I'm not interested in that stuff.

Andy

Crystal meth. I can get ya crystal meth. Nitrous oxide. How about that? How about a Cadillac? I get ya a brand new Cadillac. With the pink slip for two grand.

Travis

Hey, you're a Secret Service man aren't ya? Huh?

Just waiting for the Senator.

Travis

You're waiting for the Senator? Oh! That's a very good answer. Shit! I'm waitin' for the sun to shine. Yeah. No, the reason I, I asked if you were a Secret Service man, I won't say anything, because I ...I saw some suspicious looking people over there. [Travis points away]' Yeah, they were over there, right over there. They were just here, uh. They were very, very, uh...

...suspicious...

Travis

Yeah. Is it hard to get to be in the Secret Service?

Why?

Travis

Well, I was just curious, because I think I'd be good at it. Very observant. I was in the Marine Corps you know, I'm good with crowds. I'm noticin' the little pin there. [Looking at the agent's lapel] That's like a signal isn't it?

Sort of.

Travis

A signal. A secret signal for the Secret Service. Hey, what kind of guns do you guys carry? .38s, .45s, .357 Magnums, somethin' bigger maybe?

Look, uh, if you're really interested, if you give me your name and address, we'll send you all the information on how to apply. How's that?

Travis

You will?

Sure. [The agent takes out a notepad]

Travis

OK. Why not? My name is Henry Krinkle. K-R-I-N-K-L-E. 154 Hopper Avenue.

Hopper?

Travis

Yeah. You know like a rabbit, hip, hop. Ha, ha. Fair Lawn, New Jersey.

Is there a zip code to that Henry?

Travis

Yeah, 610452. OK?

That's, uh, six digits.

Travis

Oh, well 61045.

OK.

Travis

I was thinking of my telephone number.

Well, I've got it all. Henry, we'll get all the stuff right out to you.

Travis

Thanks a lot. Hey, great. Thanks a lot. Hell, Jesus. Be careful today.

Right. Will do.

Travis

You have to be careful in and around a place like this. Bye.

Sport

Officer, I swear I'm clean. I'm just waitin' here for a friend. You gonna bust me for nothin' man?

Travis

I'm not a cop.

Sport

So why are you askin' me for action?

Travis

Because she sent me over.

Sport

I suppose that ain't a .38 you got in your sock.

Travis

A .38? No. I'm clean man.

Sport

Shit. You're a real cowboy? That's nice, man. That's all right. Fifteen dollars, fifteen minutes, twenty-five dollars, half an hour.

Travis

Shit.

Sport

A cowboy, huh? I once had a horse, on Coney Island. She got hit by a car. Well, take it or leave it. If you want to save yourself some money, don't **** her. Cause you'll be back here every night for some more. Man, she's twelve and a half years old. You never had no pussy like that. You can do anything you want with her. You can **** on her, **** her in the mouth, **** her in the ass, **** on her face, man. She get your **** so hard she'll make it explode. But no rough stuff, all right?

Sport

Catch you later, copper.

Travis

What'd you say?

Sport

See you later, copper.

Travis

I'm no cop, man.

Sport

Well if you are, it's entrapment already.

Travis

I'm hip.

Sport

Buddy, you don't look hip.

Sport

Go ahead, have yourself a good time.

Sport

You're a funny guy. But looks aren't everything. Go ahead man, have a good time.

Travis

Are you really twelve and a half?

Iris

Listen mister, it's your time. Fifteen minutes ain't long. When that cigarette burns out, your time is up. [Iris sits on the edge of the sofa and begins undressing]

Travis

How old are you? You won't tell me? What's your name?

Iris

Easy.

Travis

That's not any kind of name.

Iris

That's easy to remember.

Travis

Yeah, but what's your real name?

Iris

I don't like my real name.

Travis

Now what's your real name?

Iris

Iris.

Travis

Well, what's wrong with that? That's a nice name.

Iris

Huh! That's what you think. [Iris begins to remove her top]

Travis

No, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't you remember me? Remember when you got into a taxi, it was a checkered taxi. You got in and that that guy Matthew came by and he said he wanted to take you away. He pulled you away.

Iris

I don't remember that.

Travis

You don't remember any of that?

Iris

No.

Travis

Well. that's all right. I'm gonna get you out of here.

Iris

So we'd better make it or Sport will get mad. So how do you want to make it?

Travis

I don't want to make it. Who's Sport?

Iris

Oh that's Matthew. I call him Sport. [She stands up and begins unbuckling the belt on his pants] You want to make it like this?

Travis

Listen, uh, listen, hey, can I tell you somethin'. But you're the one that came into my cab. You're the one that wanted to get out of here.

Iris

Well, I must have been stoned.

Travis

Why, what do you mean? Do they drug you?

Iris

Oh come off it, man.

Travis

What are you doin'?

Iris

Don't you want to make it?

Travis

No, I don't want to make it. I want to help you.

Iris

Well, I could help you. [Iris reaches for his pants again, but he pushes her back onto the sofa]

Travis

Damn, man. Goddamn it. Shit, man. What the hell's the matter with you?

Iris

Mister, you don't have to make it mister.

Travis

Goddamn it. Don't you want to get out of here? Can't you understand why I came here?

Iris

I think I understand, uh. I tried to get into your cab one night and you want to come and take me away. Is that it?

Travis

Yeah, but don't you want to go?

Iris

I can leave anytime I want to.

Travis

Well then, what about that one night?

Iris

Look, I was stoned. That's why they stopped me. 'Cause when I'm not stoned, I got no place else to go. So they just, uh, protect me from myself.

Travis

Well, I don't know. I don't know. OK, I tried.

Iris

I understand, and it means somethin', really.

Travis

Oh look, can I see you again?

Iris

Ha, ha, that's not hard to do.

Travis

No, I don't mean like that. I mean, you know, regularly. This is nothing for a person to do.

Iris

All right. How about breakfast tomorrow?

Travis

Tomorrow when?

Iris

I get up at about one o'clock.

Travis

So long, Iris. See you tomorrow. Sweet Iris.

Iris

Why do you want me to go back to my parents? I mean they hate me. Why do you think I split in the first place? There ain't nothin' there.

Travis

Yeah, but you can't live like this. It's hell. Girls should live at home.

Iris

Didn't you ever hear of women's lib?

Travis

What do you mean 'women's lib'? You sure are a young girl. You should be at home now. You should be dressed up. You should be goin' out with boys. You should be goin' to school. You know, that kind of stuff.

Iris

Oh god, are you square.

Travis

Hey I'm not square. You're the one that's square. You're full of shit, man. What are you talkin' about? You walk out with those ****in' creeps and lowlifes and degenerates out on the street and you sell your, sell your little pussy for nothin' man. For some lowlife pimp - stands in a hall. I'm, I'm square? You're the one that's square, man. I don't go screw and **** with a bunch of killers and junkies the way you do. You call that bein' hip? What world are you from?

Iris

Who's a 'killer'?

Travis

That guy Sport's a killer. That's who's a killer.

Iris

Sport never killed nobody.

Travis

He killed someone.

Iris

He's a Libra.

Travis

He's a what?

Iris

I'm a Libra too. That's why we get along so well.

Travis

Looks like a killer to me.

Iris

I think that, that Cancers make the best lovers, but god, my whole family are air signs.

Travis

He's also a dope shooter.

Iris

So what makes you so high and mighty. Will you tell me that? Didn't you ever try lookin' in your own eyeballs in the mirror?

Travis

So what are you gonna do about Sport, that ol' bastard?

Iris

When?

Travis

When you leave.

Iris

I don't know. I just leave him, I guess.

Travis

You just gonna leave?

Iris

Yeah, they got plenty of other girls.

Travis

Yeah, but you just can't do that. What are you gonna do?

Iris

What do you want me to do? Call the cops?

Travis

What? The cops don't do nothin'. You know that.

Iris

Hey look. Sport never treated me bad. I mean he didn't beat me up or anything like that once.

Travis

But you can't allow him to do the same to other girls. You can't allow him to do that. He is the lowest kind of person in the world. Somebody's got to do something to him. He's the scum of the earth. He's the worst s-s-sucking scum I have ever, ever seen. You know what he told me about you? He called you names. He called you a little piece of chicken.

Iris

He doesn't, he doesn't mean that. I'll move up to one of them communes in Vermont.

Travis

I never seen a commune before, but I don't know, you know, I saw some pictures once in a magazine - didn't look very clean.

Iris

Well why don't you come to the commune with me?

Travis

Why not ****, come in a commune with you? Oh no.

Iris

Why not?

Travis

I don't, I don't go to places like that.

Iris

Oh come on, why not?

Travis

No, I don't get along with people like that.

Iris

Are you a Scorpion?

Travis

What?

Iris

That's it. You're a Scorpion. I can tell every time.

Travis

Besides, I gotta stay here.

Iris

Come on, why?

Travis

I got somethin' very important to do.

Iris

Oh, so what's so important?

Travis

Doin' somethin' for the government. Cab thing is just part-time.

Iris

Are you a narc?

Travis

Do I look like a narc?

Iris

Yeah. [laughing]

Travis

I am a narc.

Iris

God, I don't know who's weirder, you or me? Sure you don't want to come with me?

Travis

Well, I tell ya what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give ya the money to go.

Iris

Oh no, look, you don't have to do that.

Travis

No, no. I want you to take it. I don't want ya to take anything from them. And I wanna do it. I don't have anything better to do with my money. I might be goin' away for a while.

Travis

How's everything in the pimp business? Huh?

Sport

Don't I know you?

Travis

No, do I know you?

Sport

Get out of here. Come on, get lost.

Travis

Do I know you? How's Iris? You know Iris.

Sport

No, I don't know nobody named Iris. Iris. Come on. Get out of here man.

Travis

You don't know anybody by the name of Iris?

Sport

I don't know nobody named Iris.

Travis

No?

Sport

Hey - go back to your ****in' tribe before you get hurt, huh man. Do me a favor, I don't want no trouble huh? OK?

Travis

You got a gun?

Sport

Get the **** out of here man! Get out of here.

Travis

Suck on this. [shoots him in the belly]

Betsy

Hello, Travis.

Travis

Hello. [Long pause as they exchange looks in the rear-view mirror] I hear Palantine got the nomination.

Betsy

Yeah. It won't be long now. Seventeen days.

Travis

I hope he wins.

Betsy

I read about you in the papers. How are you?

Travis

Oh, it was nothin' really. I got over that. Papers always blow these things up. Just a little stiffness. That's all. [The cab arrives at her destination and she steps out, speaking to him through the open, driver side window]

Betsy

Travis? How much was it?

Travis

So long...

Concession Girl

Can I help you?

Travis

Yeah, what's your name? My name's Travis.

Concession Girl

That's nice, what can do for you?

Travis

I'd like to know what your name is, what's your name?

Concession Girl

Give me a break.

Travis

You can tell me what your name is, I'm not going to do anything.

Concession Girl

Do you want me to call the manager.

Travis

You don't have to call the manager, I mean I'm just asking...

Concession Girl

Troy!

Travis

Alright, okay, I'm just, okay. Can I have Chuckles? Do you have any jujus? They last longer, I'd like to get some jujus.

Concession Girl

What you see is what we got.

Travis

I'll take these. Coca-Cola?

Concession Girl

We don't have Coca-Cola, Royal Crown Cola is all we got. $1.85.
