Grand Canyon

Simon: I've gotta ask you for a favor. Let me go my way here. This truck's my responsibility, and now that the car's hooked up to it, it's my responsibility too. Rocstar: Do you think I'm stupid? Just answer that question first. Simon: Look, I don't know nothing about you; you don't know nothing about me. I don't know if you're stupid, or some kind of genius. All I know is that I need to get out of here, and you got the gun. So I'm asking you, for the second time, let me go my way here. Rocstar: I'm gonna grant you that favor, and I'm gonna expect you to remember it if we ever meet again. But tell me this, are you asking me as a sign of respect, or are you asking because I've got the gun? Simon: Man, the world ain't supposed to work like this. I mean, maybe you don't know that yet. I'm supposed to be able to do my job without having to ask you if I can. That dude is supposed to be able to wait with his car without you ripping him off. Everything is supposed to be different than it is.

Dee: Yeah, but that's how you get yourself in trouble. By thinking how nice it'd be to be happy more.

Dee: Jane, do you ever feel like you are just this far from being completely hysterical twenty four hours a day? Jane: Half the people I know feel that way. The lucky ones feel that way. The rest of the people are hysterical twenty four hours a day.

Dee: You've denied me in every way you can. Everything I've wanted, you've denied me. Mack: I've been honest all along. Even that night. Dee: Who gives a shit? Don't you see what you do? Even now, you wanna deny me what's rightfully mine. Mack: Which is? Dee: To resent the hell outta you. To feel totally rejected and hated. To hate you for doing it to me. There are good men out there who are gonna treat me like I'm the very thing they want. And then you do that thing with Jane. Mack: What? Dee: You know, with that guy, that tow-truck guy. Mack: What about it? What's that got to do with anything? Dee: You don't even know, do you? You don't even know why that hurts me so much. Jane's in love. She thinks this could be the one. Mack: Is that bad? I thought she was your friend. Dee: She is my friend. I'm very happy for her, but it makes me feel like shit... that you're out there finding her the love of her life and I'm here like what? I'm here like shit. How do you think that's gonna make m
