Crew: Towards the very end, the camera and crew are reflected in an extreme close-up of Grace's eyes. Crew: SPOILER: After Grace has pushed Bobby off the cliff and is sitting in the car listening to him shouting for help, a reflection of a face is clearly visible in the side window of the car. Revealing mistakes: Marker is visible during the scene where the men have cornered Bobby in the alley. Continuity: Towards the end, some birds can be seen toward a grey and cloudy sky. In the next shot, we can see the sun shining. Continuity: SPOILER: In the end of the movie, when Bobby is being pushed off the rock, his glasses fall off his head twice during the fall. Crew: Shadow of boom, platform and cameraman visible at lower left hand of aerial view of intersection at beginning of movie right after Cooper's radiator hose blows. Revealing mistakes: Near the first of the movie, where Cooper's car passes a vulture eviscerating a dead animal, the vulture clearly has a leg ring with an attached band that is being yanked. Continuity: SPOILER: At the end of the film, when Bobby sits in the car and the radiator hose blows the second time a few suitcases are at the left side of the car. When the camera pulls out they are on the right side of the car. Fact errors: Not only is there a visible line attached to the vulture's leg in one scene, this vulture and all vultures shown in the movie are of a species that does not exist in the United States. |

Bobby: Is everybody fucking everybody in this crazy God damn town? Bobby: It's not just a car. It's a sixty-four-and-a-half Mustang convertible. Bobby: See, that's the difference between you and me, and why you live here and I'm just passing through. Blind Man: It's the desert that makes you crazy. The loneliness out here. Nobody to talk to. People on the run. Bobby: Is everyone in this town on drugs? Darrell: Damn. Gonna be another hot one today. Sometimes I don't even want to get out of bed. Course, I don't want to get out for the cold ones neither. Darrell: Ya think bad, then bad's what ya get. Bobby: That's a pretty decent philosophy you got there. Darrell: Yeah, well, no charge. Jenny: Bye, Mister. Don't go nowhere without me. I wanna have your love child. Jenny: You like Patsy Cline? I just love her. I wonder how come she don't put out no more new records. Bobby: Because she's dead. Jenny: Oh... that's sad. Don't that make you sad? Bobby: I've had time to get over it. Bobby: You're just an ignorant, inbred, tumbleweed hick. Jake McKenna: A man with no ethics is a free man. Bobby: 40,000 people die every day, Darrell. How come you're not one of 'em? Blind Man: Everything is everything. And everything is nothing, too. Grace: And here I made you all hot and sweaty... Toby N. Tucker: I don't think you know who I am. The name's Toby N. Tucker. People round here call me TNT. You know why? Bobby: Because they're not very imaginative? Toby N. Tucker: 'Cause I'm just like dynamite, boy, and when I go off, somebody gets hurt. Bobby: And a waitress named Flo. Grace: I bet right now, you don't know if you want to kill me... or fuck me. Bobby: I don't know whether to fuck you... or kill you! Jake McKenna: [having sex with Grace from behind] You've been a bad girl, Grace! Grace: [sitting on a bed, appearing as if she is about to seduce Bobby] Come here. You know what I wanna do? I wanna hang drapes... [gets up and walks off] Jake McKenna: I got a mind to put you over my knee right now and paddle your ass raw! Jake McKenna: [having sex with Grace from behind] Oh, fuck it away, fuck it away! But it ain't ever gonna go away! Flo: Now you can fuckin' take it, or you can fuckin' leave it. Sheriff Virgil Potter: She liked fuckin' her papa. Bobby: Listen to me you stupid fuck... Darrell: No! You listen to me goddamnit! Ya sorry son of a bitch! You owe me money! And this car aint goin' no place 'till I get it! Grace: Don't you want to know? Was Jake my father? Was I fucking my daddy? Yes, I was! I was fucking my daddy! And I married him! I married him, okay? I just wanted to be a kid. And they took that from me. They treated me like meat. A piece of meat. Fuck him! Fuck the whole town, they deserve to die! Grace: [laughing insanely] You hit me... Bobby! [stops laughing] You motherfucker! Blind Man: Your lies are old but you tell them pretty good. Bobby: You don't know what you're fighting for! Toby N. Tucker: My honour! That's what I'm fighting for! Darrell: You think bad, and bad's what you'll get. Bobby: That's an interesting philosophy there, Darrell. Darrell: Yeah. And no charge. Toby N. Tucker: I'll beat you so bad I'll make your mother sick! Bobby: I'm here to get my car back. Darrell: You got the money? [Bobby gives him the money] Two hundred dollars in hundred dollar bills, this morning you was flat out broke. Bobby: That's none of your fucking business. Darrell: I don't want no dirty money. I run a clean business! Jake McKenna: [walks in on Bobby and Grace kissing] Grace! Grace: Jake! I thought you were in Phoenix. Jake McKenna: Who the hell is this? Bobby: Who the hell are you? Jake McKenna: I'm her husband! Bobby: Husband? Grace: [indicates his two missing fingers] You should be more careful. Bobby: Yeah I know... Bobby: [looks at Jake] What about him? Grace: Let him watch. I want him to know what he's missing. |
