-
Dinah Hunter : They're gonna kill you!
Coley Blake : That don't matter. I was born dead.
-
Deputy Burt : Now, what's your name?
Dinah Hunter : Hunter. Dinah Hunter.
Deputy Burt : You got some I.D.?
Dinah Hunter : Yes. Actually, no, it was my purse and it was stolen.
Deputy Burt : [unconvinced] Oh?
Dinah Hunter : Two kids stole my purse.
Deputy Burt : [still unconvined] Okay, okay, okay.
Dinah Hunter : Goddamnit...!
Deputy Burt : Hey, now you watch your mouth! There ain't no need to take the lord's name in vain, you hear?
Dinah Hunter : Yeah. Look, just call my sister.
Deputy Burt : No, I ain't calling nobody's sister nowhere!
Dinah Hunter : You don't understand!
Deputy Burt : I understand! I understand that you ain't got no I.D. I understand that a citizen of the county said you tried to assault him.
Dinah Hunter : That's not true.
Deputy Burt : Well, which ain't true?
Dinah Hunter : Assault.
Deputy Burt : [unconvinced] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dinah Hunter : Jesus Christ...!
Deputy Burt : [angrily] Hey, I'm not about to tell you one more time! You shut that tramp yap of yours!
[he forcibly drags Dinah towards the door]
Deputy Burt : Now you come with me. In the morning, the sheriff will straighten this out. Oh, God, I forgot why I stopped by. I promised Elders, I'd thank you personally for the soda pop at Gloria's picnic. That was mighty nice of you.
Dan Oldum (Bartender) : [nervously] Anytime. Say hello to Reverend Coby for me.
Deputy Burt : I sure will. Thanks, again.
Dinah Hunter : [to Deputy Burt] You don't understand.
[as they leave, Dan sits down on the bar stool and feels like he narrowly dodged a bullet]

Mr. Blight : [Dinah and the advertising executives are watching a commercial in a screening room. Mr. Bigelow, the head of the agency, is siting in his chair speechless] Well, J.C., what do you think?
Mr. Bigelow : What do I think about what?
Dinah Hunter : About the commercial.
Mr. Bigelow : To tell the truth, I don't know what to say. I guess it's too feminine.
Dinah Hunter : Feminine? It's a commercial for a woman's sanitary napkin. What did you have in mind, a testimonial for Joe Namath?
Mr. Bigelow : [gets up from his chair] Tell me, Miz Hunter. Do you consider what I just saw to be a great commercial?
Dinah Hunter : It's Miss Hunter and the answer is no. I think it does the job.
Mr. Bigelow : I don't. Besides, they'd never run that spot. It's too erotic. All the neighing and the girl on the horse. It's blatantly sexual.
Dinah Hunter : A woman riding a horse.
Mr. Bigelow : [laughs] Don't tell me you're so naive, you don't know what they say about women on horses?
Dinah Hunter : [laughs] For God's sake, Jesus...
Mr. Bigelow : You ought to try it sometime, it might relieve you of that hostility.
Dinah Hunter : [offended and stands up] How dare you!
Mr. Cooper : Excuse me, I hate to bring it up, now, but we have a October four air date and if this spot is dead, what do we run in its place?
Mr. Blight : Well, we can rerun Blue Sunday.
Mr. Bigelow : Yes, we could, but I'm sure that wouldn't suit Miss Hunter, would it?
Dinah Hunter : It's your money.
Mr. Bigelow : You're damn right it is, girly, and I made it because I know what women want to be told.
Dinah Hunter : I find that very difficult to believe.
Mr. Bigelow : Oh, what do you find very difficult to believe?
Dinah Hunter : That you can communicate with women at all. Considering how very little you know about them.
Mr. Bigelow : [impatiently, to Mr. Blight] Goddamn it, Sam. I'm warning you. I'm getting sick and tired of that little lady telling me what to do with my product!
Dinah Hunter : Believe me, Mr. Bigelow, if I weren't such a little lady, I'd tell you precisely what to do with your product!
Mr. Cooper : Dinah!
[Dinah storms out of the room]

Dinah Hunter : [Dinah arrives home looking for David] David? David?
[David and a younger woman, nude but wrapped in a towel, show up at the back screen door. Seeing Dinah, the girls walks off]
Dinah Hunter : I told you if this would happen again, we're through.
David : Well, okay, we're through.
[Dinah walks towards the kitchen]
David : Look, let me explain. Will you let me explain? I can explain it to you if you just give me a chance to explain it. That's Candy. Candy, remember? Bernie's friend? He called from Chicago. She's tapped. They threw her out of her apartment.
Dinah Hunter : So you have to open up a day camp for a bus stop starlet?
David : Would you stop being unreasonable?
Dinah Hunter : Unreasonable?
David : Yes. Yes.
Dinah Hunter : Is that really being reasonable?
David : Look, do you honestly think that girl means anything to me?
Dinah Hunter : She means a hell of a lot to me, David. They all have.
[starts unpacking her groceries]
David : I love you.
Dinah Hunter : That doesn't work anymore.
David : But I do. I will take Candy down and get her a motel room, okay?
Dinah Hunter : Get one for yourself, too, okay? For tonight.
David : In case you forgot, this is my house.
Dinah Hunter : I haven't forgotten, you've never let me forget. I'm gonna go.
David : No. Cool it. Look, just stay here. Do me a favor. Just sleep on it.
Dinah Hunter : I've been sleeping on it every night, for the last two years.
David : Look, you can do anything you want, because I don't care!
[walks off]
Dinah Hunter : I know you don't.

Dinah Hunter : [after stopping at Bobby Ray and Lola's destination] Well, you're going north and I'm turning here.
Bobby Ray : I really wish you were going to Alaska.
Dinah Hunter : Well, I'm not. Good luck.
Bobby Ray : Thank you.
Dinah Hunter : [noticing Bobby Ray and Lola are not getting out] You waiting for something?
Bobby Ray : Well, I was just thinking, if you were going to Alaska, we can give you a lift on the way.
Dinah Hunter : Like I said, I'm not going.
Bobby Ray : [chuckles] Yeah. Yeah, that's a funny thing. It's a mighty long walk to New York City.
Dinah Hunter : Aren't you a little confused? I'm the one with the car.
Lola : [points a gun at Dinah] No, ma'am, he ain't confused. It's YOU what's confused!
[fires a warning shot, spooking Dinah]
Bobby Ray : [to Dinah] Get out of the car!
[Dinah gets out and backs away as Bobby Ray holds her at gunpoint]
Bobby Ray : Go on, move!
Lola : You gonna waste her, huh, Bobby Ray? Are you?
Bobby Ray : I don't know. You think I should?
Lola : Yeah, of course. Waste her ass.
Bobby Ray : Move over by that tree.
[Dinah does not move]
Bobby Ray : I SAID, MOVE!
Dinah Hunter : Don't kill me.
Bobby Ray : [laughs] You know, maybe I like killing people. Did you ever think of that?
Dinah Hunter : Look, take my car, my money, my purse. Just don't kill me.
Bobby Ray : Turn around.
Dinah Hunter : Please don't kill me.
Bobby Ray : You want to see it coming?
[Dinah turns around and Bobby Ray knocks her to the ground]
