The Electric Horseman Quotes

Hallie Mr. Steele, why were you 45 minutes late to the press conference?

Sonny Well, I'd like to apologize for that. I was giving mouth to mouth resuscitation to a bottle of tequila. And, we lost her too.

Man Hey! Hey, Hallie! Hallie Martin! We met in New York, remember?

Hallie Did we like each other?

Wendall I'm going to get me a bottle of tequila and find me one of them Keno girls that can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch and just kinda kick back.

Hallie I'm just trying to be pleasant. You get so worked up about everything.

Sonny What have I got to be worked up about? I've only got a stolen horse; everybody except the Coast Guard is after me; I've got nothing but miles of open country to cross; and now I'm carrying a crazy woman around, wearing shoes from Bloomingbirds who thinks she's seen a rattlesnake round up.

Hallie You ride off with somebody else's $12,000,000 horse, did you think we wouldn't notice?

Hallie I've been to the rodeo, twice.

Sonny Did you stay for the rattlesnake round up?

Hallie Yes, I stayed. Right until the end. I saw the whole thing.

Sonny They don't have one. How're you going to round up a rattlesnake?

Hallie Okay, I respect your position. I don't understand it, but I respect it. A lot of famous people hated publicity: Albert Schweizer. Franco... Albert Schweizer.

Sonny You've had a hard day. Why don't you scrunch down in the bag?

Hallie Oh, I wish it were that easy. I don't sleep.

Sonny Ever? How old are you?

Sonny I ain't carrying it. And you can't carry it.

Hallie The hell I can't. I've carried this stuff a lot of times.

Sonny Where? Up the escalator at Bloomingtons, or Bloomingbirds or wherever the hell it is?

Hallie Bloomingdales!

Hallie They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Sonny I know. I'm the one who said it.
