Packett : I saw the two of you, the way you were looking at each other tonight, like a couple of wild animals. Almost scared me.
Annie Laurie Starr : It should. He's a MAN.
-
Annie Laurie Starr : Come on, Bart, let's finish it the way we started it: on the level.
-
Annie Laurie Starr : I want a lot of things - big things!

Packett : Honey, I'll make money like you want me to. Big money. But it takes time. You gotta give me time.

Annie Laurie Starr : No guts, nothing! I want action!

Bart : [Referring to his time in the Army] That's when I was a fairly honest guy.
Annie Laurie Starr : You mean, before you met me?
Bart : I don't know. It's just that everything's going so fast. It's all in such high gear, that sometimes it doesn't feel like me. Does that make sense?
Annie Laurie Starr : When do you think all this?
Bart : Oh, nights; I wake up sometimes. It's as if none of it really happened, as if nothing were real anymore.
Annie Laurie Starr : Next time you wake up, Bart, look over at me lying there beside you. I'm yours, and I'm *real.*
Bart : Yes. But you're the only thing that *is,* Laurie. The rest is a nightmare.

Annie Laurie Starr : [Returning from looking out a window at snow falling outside a shack they've presumably broken into] How long do we have to roost here?
Bart : Why don't you ask the Montana weatherman? We're stuck in that drift until we can get a tow car. We can't get a tow car until this storm is over.
Annie Laurie Starr : Maybe it won't be safe even then. Couldn't you shovel the car out yourself?
Bart : Fat chance. Didn't you think of this? Didn't it ever occur to you that once we started we could never ask anybody for help, no matter if we were dying, for the rest of our lives... that we're all alone and always will be? Didn't you ever give it a thought?

Annie Laurie Starr : [after Bart admits to his teenage crime and his term in Reform School] Bart, I've never been much good; at least up to now I haven't. You aren't getting any bargain.
Bart : I'm doing all right.
Annie Laurie Starr : But I've got a funny feeling that I want to be good. I don't know, maybe I can't. But I'm gonna try.
Bart : [as he draws her closer to kiss her] We'll make it.
Annie Laurie Starr : I'll try hard, Bart.
Bart : We'll make it.
Annie Laurie Starr : I'll try.
[They kiss]
