Quotes 

• Justine : After living in the dark for so long, a glimpse of the light can make you giddy. Strange thoughts come into your head and you better think'em. Has a special fate been calling you and you not listening? Is there a secret message right in front of you and you're not reading it? Is this your last, best chance? Are you gonna take it? Or are you going to the grave with unlived lives in your veins?

• Justine : They call you Tom?

  Holden : It's my slave name.

• [first lines] 

  Justine : As a girl you see the world as a giant candy store filled with sweet candy and such. But one day you look around and you see a prison and you're on death row. You wanna run or scream or cry but something's locking you up. Are the other folks cows chewing cud until the hour comes when their heads roll? Or are they just keeping quiet like you, planning their escape.

• Justine : How it all came down to this, only the Devil knows. Retail Rodeo is at the corner on my left. The motel is down the road to my right. I close my eyes and try to peer into the future. On my left, I saw days upon days of lipstick and ticking clocks, dirty looks and quiet whisperings. And burning secrets that just won't ever die away. And on my right, what could I picture? The blue sky, the desert earth, stretching out into the eerie infinity. A beautiful never-ending nothing.

• Justine : That day I read the story Holden had wrote for me. It was kinda different from the other ones but kinda the same. It was about a girl who was put upon, whose job is like a prison, and whose life has lost all meaning. Other people don't get her, especially her husband. One day she meets a boy who is also put upon and they fall in love. After spending their whole lives never getting got, with one look they get each other completely. In the end the girl and the boy run away together into the wilderness, never to be heard from again.

• Justine : Holden gave me two of his stories to read. It was more like the story of what a story would be. It was about a boy who was put upon; whose mother is cold and selfish and whose father wanted him to play football. Other people didn't get him. Especiall girls. Soon enough the boy comes to believe that no one can ever really know him. He starts acting out, drinking and taking all kinds of drugs. At the end the boy kills himself by jumping over a bridge. The second story was pretty much the same as the first expect at the end the boy kills himself by drinking a bottle of bug poison.

• Justine : Gwen says smoking marijuana lowers your sperm.

  Phil Last : Lowers it to where?

  Justine : Maybe you're the infertile one around here. Maybe every time you smoke a little doobie, you're killing our unborn children.

• Justine : Whatcha readin'?

  Holden : Catcher in the Rye... I'm named after it.

  Justine : What's your name?

  [Holden stares at her blankly] 

  Justine : Catcher?

• Phil Last : I don't know what to say about Jesus... I'm stoned.

  Justine : Just let the other people do the talking.

• Justine : [sniffling]  I can't do it.

  Holden : We'll be back here before you know it.

  Justine : I don't wanna... I don't wanna go.

  Holden : Justine

  [Justine turns to look at Holden] 

  Holden : I'm yours I'm all yours

  [she kisses Holden passionately and they put there arms around each other] 

• Justine : I saw in your eyes that you hate the world. I hate it, too.

• Justine : Holden - calm down! Alright?

  Holden : I can't calm down! Easy if I was a hooker like you then I'd calm down all over town!

• Justine : What are we doing here?

  Holden : Makin' one outta two.

• Justine : Oh, who gives a shit! Who needs a fucken baby anyway, you wanna make your self useful around here, why dont you get that goddamn tv fixed?

  Phil Last : What the hell?

  Justine : It sounds like a helicopter is landing in here!

• Justine : I thought if I died today what would happen to me? A hateful girl... A selfish girl... An adulteress... A liar.

• Holden : I'm staring to think... That you don't get me.

  Justine : MAYBE I *don't* get you.

  Holden : YOU DO. YOU DO GET ME, YOU JUST DON'T WANNA GET ME BECAUSE I AM TOO INTENSIFIED FOR YOU.

• Justine : Is this your last best chance? Or are you going to your grave with unlived lives in your veins?

• Justine : That is easy for you to say Holden

  [!] 

  Justine : YOU are not married

  [!] 

• Justine : Couple that prays together, stays together.

  Phil Last : I heard it was the couple that lays together, stays together.

  Justine : Well, you've heard wrong.

• Corny : You got any interest in reading the Bible?

  Justine : I have my own, you know, beliefs.

  Corny : Well, we don't preach fire and brimstone. 10 Commandments, gotta live by those. Other than the usual ways, we're not interested in scaring people. We're about loving Jesus.

  Justine : Mm-hmm. Yeah, I kind of like my nights to myself.

  Corny : Well, maybe you'll have night after night of eternal hellfire all to yourself. Just kidding you. Drive safe. Bye-bye.
