Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead - Unexpected Confessions at Lunch
Gus: [casually hitting on Sue Ellen]
By the end of lunch we'll probably be sharing our intimate histories, stories of our first time. Next thing you know we'll be sharing a cigarette in post-coital bliss.
Sue Ellen:
Are you talking about us having sex?
Gus:
Hey, hold on, slow down, you're moving too fast for me! But if that's an area you're interested in, it can be arranged. And if it doesn't, I was kidding.

I said, "Marty, how come you're anal and I gotta go to the psychiatrist?

Nothing. He's like you, he doesn't say much.

Except when he doesn't say things, they're usually nasty.
Ray:
Mm-hmm.
Abby:
When you don't, they're usually nice.

Blood Simple - Character Traits Revealed Through Conversation
Abby: [about Marty]
He's real careful. Fact is, he's anal.
Ray:
Huh?
Abby: [taps herself on the forehead]
Yeah, he told me once himself. He said to me... "In here, Abby. In here... I'm anal.
Ray:
Well I'll be damned.
Abby:
I couldn't believe it either. Me on the other hand, I got lots of personality. Marty always said I had too much. Course he was never big on personality. He sent me to a psychiatrist to see if he could calm me down some.
Ray:
Yeah? What happened?
Abby:
Psychiatrist said I was the healthiest person he'd ever met, so Marty fired him.

Ray:
Well... if you're not gonna fire me I might as well quit.
Marty:
Fine. Suit yourself...Having a good time?

Marty:
What're you, a fucking marriage counselor?
Marty:
What're you smiling at--I'm a funny guy, right, I'm an asshole? No, no, that's not what's funny. What's funny is her. What's funny is that I had you two followed because, if it isn't you, she's been sleeping with someone else...What's really going to be funny is when she gives you that innocent look and says, "What're you talking about, Ray, I haven't done anything funny." ...But the funniest thing to me right now is that you think she came back here for you--that's what's funny...Come on this property again and I'll be forced to shoot you...Fair notice.

Wasn't too busy. You missed a good one, though. This white guy walks in about one o'clock, asks if we have a discount for alcoholics... I tell him to get lost, but Marty's sitting here listening and I can tell he's thinking that maybe it ain't such a bad idea.
