Badlands

Kit: Just thought I'd come over and say hello to ya. I'll try anything once....Listen, Holly, you, uh, I don't know, want to take a walk with me? Holly: What for? Kit: Aw, I got some stuff to say. Guess I'm kind of lucky that way. Most people don't have anything on their minds, do they? Oh, incidentally, my last name is Carruthers. Sounds a little too much like 'druthers,' huh? Holly: It's OK. Kit: Ah, well, nobody asked me what I thought. They just hung it on me. Holly: You still in school? Kit: Nah, I have a job. Holly: Doin' what? Kit: Well, I don't mind getting up early, so I got a job throwing garbage. I'm not in love with the stuff, OK? Holly: I know what my daddy's gonna say...well, that I shouldn't be seen with anybody that collects garbage.

Clerk: Why did you leave? Kit: I just felt like it. Clerk: What kind of work do you think you'd be qualified for? I just gotta get this. Kit: I can't think of anything at the moment. I want you to write me out a slip, though, proving I came down here.

Kit: Hi. Holly: Well, stop the world. Kit: Hey, I quit my job. Holly: Great. Kit: It seemed like the right move...Well, I'm gonna work as a cowboy now... or thinking about it. It's a routine, like anything. What do you think? Holly: I don't know.

Kit: [after suggesting they crunch their hands with a rock] That way, we'd never forget what happened today. Holly: But it would hurt. Kit: Well, that's the point, stupid. Holly: Don't call me stupid. Kit: OK, but I'm gonna keep it for a souvenir - or maybe one that's lighter.

Kit: You know Holly, well, she means an awful lot to me, sir...Look, I got a lot of respect for her, too, sir. That's about as good a one as I know to tell ya. Mr. Sargis: Well, it's not good enough...I don't want you to hang around any more. I don't want to see you again. Do you understand? You're something.

Holly: Listen, maybe we ought to tell somebody about this. Kit: You said that once already. Too late now. Holly: Why? Kit: They're not gonna listen to me. You either. Are you kidding? Holly: Suppose the neighbors heard the noise? Kit: Wouldn't be funny. Listen, uh, I'll be back after a while. Oh, uh, you want to call the police, that's fine. Just won't be so hot for me.
