[edit] Loretta

Snap out of it!
- After Ronny tells her he loves her, she slaps him twice, and says this line. Note: ranked #96 in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema.

That woman didn't leave you, OK. You can't see what you are, and I see everything... You are a wolf!... That woman was a trap for you. She caught you and you couldn't get away. So you, you chewed off your own foot. That was the price you had to pay for your freedom... And now, now you're afraid because you know the big part of you is a wolf that has the courage to bite off its own hand to save itself from the trap of the wrong love. That's why there's been no woman since that wrong woman. OK? You're scared to death of what the wolf would do if you try and make that mistake again!

A person can see where they've messed up in their life, and they can change how they do things, and they can change their Luck. Maybe my nature does draw me to you, but I don't haveta go with that. I can take hold of myself and say yes to some things and no to something that's just gonna ruin everything! I can do that. Otherwise, what is this stupid life that God gave us for what?

Bring me the big knife, so I can cut my throat.
- After Loretta tells him of her impending marriage to his brother.

Come upstairs. I don't care why you come. No, that's not what I mean. Loretta, I love you. Not like they told you love is and I didn't know this either. But love don't make things nice, it ruins everything, it breaks your heart, it makes things a mess. We're not here to make things perfect. Snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. We are here to ruin ourselves and break our hearts and love the wrong people and die! The storybooks are bullshit. Come upstairs with me, baby! Don't try to live your life out to somebody else's idea of sweet happiness. Don't try to live on milk and cookies when what you want is meat! Red meat just like me! It's wolves run with wolves and nothing else! You're a wolf just like me! Come upstairs with me and get in my bed! Come on! Come on! Come on!

Rose: Do you love him, Loretta?

Loretta: Ma, I love him awful.

Rose: Oh, God, that's too bad.

ROSE - No. I think the house is empty. I can't invite you in because I'm married and because I know who I am. You're shaking.

PERRY - I'm a little cold.

ROSE - You're a little boy and you like to be bad.

PERRY - We could go to my apartment. You could see how the other half lives.

ROSE - I'm too old for you.

PERRY - I'm too old for me. That's my predicament.
