Quotes
-
Bart : Two people dead, just so we can live without working!
-
Bluey-Bluey : You're gonna see her again tonight, aren't you?
Bart : What's wrong with that?
Bluey-Bluey : Nothing, but she ain't the type that makes a happy home.
Bart : Alright, out with it. What's on your mind?
Bluey-Bluey : It's just that some guys are born smart about women and some guys are born dumb.
Bart : Some guys are born clowns.
Bluey-Bluey : You were born dumb.
-
Bart : We go together, Annie. I don't know why. Maybe like guns and ammunition go together.
-
Annie Laurie Starr : Let's go for a walk on the beach.
Bart : I just read an article about funerals.
-
Bart : You were going to kill that man!
Annie Laurie Starr : He'd have killed us if he had the chance!
-
Bluey-Bluey : [Addressing Bart as he comes into their trailer after a show] How'd it go?
Bart : All right, I guess. Packett wanted us to rush it tonight and give the concessionaires a chance at the crowd.
Bluey-Bluey : Well, that's where the real money is made, buster. Yessir, we got the crookedest little carnival layout west of the Mississippi. Why, we got more ways of making suckers than we got suckers. When we pull out of this burg tomorrow morning, the natives will have nothing left but some old collar buttons and rusty bobby pins.

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]
