The Edge of Seventeen - Struggling with Faith and Frustration
Nadine Franklin: [in the bathroom; she reaches for toilet paper, but there is none left.]
Please. Please, god, help me. Why do I even bother? Why do I even... You've never given me one thing. Any time I ask you for anything, you're like, "oh, you need help with something? Let me help you. I'm just playing. I'm gonna butt-fuck you some more.

If I had killed Chaney, I would not be in this fix, but my gun misfired.

We'll sleep here and follow in the morning.

True Grit - Unpleasant Choices and Unkind Remarks
LaBoeuf:
You give out very little sugar with your pronouncements. While I sat there watchin I gave some thought to stealin a kiss, though you are very young, and sick, and unattractive to boot. But now I have a mind to give you five or six good licks with my belt.
Mattie Ross:
One would be just as unpleasant as the other.

True Grit - Dispute Over Horse and Saddle Ownership
Col. Stonehill:
I will pay two hundred and twenty-five dollars and keep the grey horse. I don't want the ponies.
Mattie Ross:
I cannot accept that. There will be no settlement after I leave this office. It will go to law—
Col. Stonehill:
All right! This is my last offer: two hundred and fifty dollars. For that, I get the release previously discussed and I keep your father's saddle. The grey horse is not yours to sell!
Mattie:
The saddle is not for sale. I will keep it. Lawyer Dagget will prove ownership of the grey horse. He will come after you with a writ of replevin.

Mattie:
You have been at it for quite some time, Mr. Cogburn.
Rooster:
There is no clock on my business! To hell with you! How did you stalk me here?
Mattie:
The sheriff told me to look in the saloon. In the saloon they referred me here. We must talk.
Rooster:
Women ain't allowed in the saloon!
Mattie:
I was not there as a customer. I am fourteen years old.
Rooster: [long pause]
The jakes is occupied, and will be for some time.

True Grit - Reflections on Time and Unmarried Life
Mattie Ross: [Final voice-over, as an adult, after learning of Rooster's death]
I had the body removed to our plot, and I have visited it over the years. No doubt people talk about that. They say, "Well, she hardly knew the man. Isn't she a cranky old maid?" It is true, I have not married. I never had time to fool with it. I heard nothing more of the Texas officer LaBoeuf. If he is yet alive, I would be pleased to hear from him. I judge he would be in his seventies now, and nearer eighty than seventy. I expect some of the starch has gone out of that cowlick. Time just gets away from us.

True Grit - A Young Girl's Quest for Justice
Mattie Ross: [Opening voice-over, as an adult]
People do not give it credence that a young girl could leave home and go off in the wintertime to avenge her father's blood, but it did happen. I was just 14 years of age when a coward by the name of Tom Chaney shot my father down and robbed him of his life and his horse and two California gold pieces that he carried in his trouser band. Chaney was a hired man and Papa had taken him up to Fort Smith to help lead back a string of Mustang ponies he had bought. In town, Chaney had fallen to drink and cards and lost all his money. He got it into his head he was being cheated and went back to the boarding house for his Henry rifle. When Papa tried to intervene, Chaney shot him. Chaney fled. He could have walked his horse, for not a soul in that city could be bothered to give chase. No doubt Chaney fancied himself scot-free, but he was wrong. You must pay for everything in this world, one way and another. There is nothing free, except the grace of God.

Yes... yes you do. You all do.
Mary: [as she walks away, Remmick levitates into the air, eyes glowing]
I'm gonna head back now, and I think y'all should too. Back to where we all came from.

Mary:
Get yo hands off me.
Stack:
What's it gon take, hmm? How much to getchu to get the fuck on?
Mary:
You can't pay me off.
Stack:
Fine... I'll pay one of these field bitches in here to drag yo ass out, then—
Mary:
Shit, you taught me how to fight; I'll beat up every bitch in here, and you know it.
Stack:
I taught you how to walk away when the money's up, too. Got you a rich white husband, got you a farm, now go home to it.
Mary:
I ain't ask for none of that - all that shit was your idea! I didn't want no white man, I didn't want to be white. I wanted to be with you!
Stack:
All it'd take is the wrong person in here to see you - word get back to them crackas, and they gon try to kill you.
Mary:
What would it matter to you?
Stack:
Cause, if somebody out there put they hands on you... if they hurt you... me and my brother gon come kill em all.
Mary:
So you'll kill for me.
Stack:
That's right.
Mary:
But you still won't tell me the truth. I was young enough to believe you were comin back. I waited. I waited a long time. But I'm grown now, Stack! And I know you never planned to stay. Why can't you just say that?!
Stack: [He removes his hat]
Say what? Hmm? That I love you? That I think about you every day? I just wanted to keep you someplace safe. And that was never gon be here... and it was never gon be with me. Never.

Ohh, I heard you. I heard you loud and clear, but then you stuck your tongue in my cooze and fucked me so hard, I figured you changed your mind.
