Thelma Dickinson Goddamn it! I've never been lucky! Not one time!

J.D. So, tell me something, Miss Thelma. How is it you ain't got any kids? I mean God gets you something special, I think you oughta pass it on.

Thelma Well, Darryl, that's my husband.

J.D. Darryl?

Thelma Yeah, he says he's not ready yet. He says he's still too much of a kid himself. He kinda prides himself on being infantile.

Louise He's got a lot to be proud of.

Thelma Louise and him don't get along.

Louise That's putting it mildly.

Thelma She thinks he's a pig.

Louise I know he's a pig.

J.D. Hey! Thank your wife for me.

Thelma I know it's crazy, but I just feel like I got a knack for this shit.

Louise I believe you do.

Thelma Good morning everybody, this is a robbery. Now if nobody loses their head, nobody will lose their head. Simon says everybody lay down on the floor, right away, right away, except you sir. You'll have a story to tell your friends, that or a tag on your toe, it's your decision. Now you take this bag and empty the cash register into it.

Store clerk Yes ma'am.

Thelma Let's see who wins a prize for keeping their cool. Now you sir, lay back down, thank you. Hey, throw in a couple bottles of Wild Turkey while you're at it.

Store clerk Sure ma'am.

Thelma Thank you, now everybody just stay down on the floor until I leave, thank you for your cooperation and have a good day.

Thelma Dickinson You said you n me was gonna get out of town and for once just really let our hair down. Well darlin', look out cause my hair is comin down!

Thelma OK, then listen; let's not get caught.

Louise What're you talkin about?

Thelma Let's keep goin'!

Louise What d'you mean?

Thelma Go.

Louise You sure?

Thelma Yeah.

Thelma You're a real live outlaw, aren't ya?

J.D. Well I may be an outlaw, darlin', but you're the one stealing my heart.

Louise You let her go, you fucking asshole, or I'm gonna splatter your brains all over this nice car.

Harlan Easy, we're just having a little fun.

Louise Sounds like you got a real fucked up idea of fun. Turn around. In the future, when a woman's crying like that, she isn't having any fun!

Harlan Bitch! I shoulda gone ahead and fucked her!

Louise What did you say?

Harlan I said suck my cock.

Thelma Hey Louise, better slow down, I'll just die if we get caught over a speeding ticket. Are you sure we should be driving like this, I mean in broad daylight and everything?

Louise No we shouldn't, but I want to put some distance between us and the scene of our last God damned crime!

Thelma Oh man! You wouldn'ta believed it, it was like I was doing it all my life, nobody woulda believed it.

Louise Think you found your calling?

Thelma May-be... may-be. The call of the wild!

Jimmy Lennox Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies.

J.D. Who's that?

Slocum That's Mrs. Dickinson's husband.

J.D. Well, shit twice and fall back in.

Thelma Dickinson I've had it up to my ass with sedate.

Thelma You awake?

Louise Guess you could call it that, my eyes are open.

Thelma I'm awake too. I feel awake.

Louise Good.

Thelma I feel really awake. I don't recall ever feeling this awake. You know? Everything looks different now. You feel like that? You feel like you got something to live for now?

Louise We'll be drinking margaritas by the sea, mamacita.

Thelma You know we could change our names.

Louise To live in a hacienda.

Thelma I want to get a job, I'll work at Club Med.

Louise Yeah, what kind of deal is that cop going to have to come up with to top that?

Thelma Have to be pretty good.

Louise Have to be pretty damn good.

Louise Should've gone to the police in the beginning, why didn't I?

Thelma You said why before.

Louise What'd I say?

Thelma That nobody would believe us. You know that jerk was really hurting me, and if you hadn't come along when you had he would've hurt me even worse. And probably nothing would've been done with him because I was dancing with him all night and everybody saw it and they'd figure I had it coming. My life would've been ruined a whole lot more than it is now, now I'm having fun. I'll tell you something else, I'm not the least bit sorry that creep is dead, I'm just sorry it was you who did it and not me.

Louise Sawyer You get what you settle for.

Max You know, the one thing I can't figure out, are these girls real smart or real real lucky?

Hal Slocumb Don't matter. Brains'll only get you so far and luck always runs out.
