Quotes 

• Jeff : Give me the key.

  Red : Mister...

  Jeff : Don't "mister" me you son of a bitch. My wife is locked up in a hole in your fucking barn, and if you don't give me the key, I'm gonna blow your fucking head off!

• Red : You're a tough man to get a hold of, Jeffery.

  Jeff : What do you want?

  Red : It's not what I want, it's what you want, and how bad you want it. 'Cause it's gonna cost you. Can't show it to you right now, but it's about 5'5", 115 pounds, three or four of that just pure tit. Nice curly brown hair, upstairs and down. Interested?

• Red Barr : Now, before you get any half-baked ideas about calling in the cavalry, just remember we're gonna be watching you every step of the way. And we'll be listening to our police scanners. And if we see anything unusual, an unmarked car or truck, or if we see you talking to anyone who even remotely smells like a cop... well, you can just keep your fucking money, Jeff, and I'll keep your wife. And I'll mail you pieces of her from time to time.

• Red : [Jeff forces Red and his family to get into the cellar]  You better remember this, fella cuz no matter where you go...

  Jeff : You fuck!

  [kicks him in the face, sending him falling down the cellar] 

• Jeff : [Answering a ringing payphone after collecting the ransom money]  It's me.

  Red Barr : No shit, I can see that.

• Jeff : [Managing to get Red to pull over]  Hey, man!

  Red Barr : What the hell you doin', buddy?

  Jeff : I was trying to get you to pull over, didn't you see me?

  Red Barr : Yeah.

  Jeff : Well...? Never mind. Listen, I'm looking for my wife.

  Red Barr : What?

  Jeff : My wife, where is she?

  Red Barr : How should I know where your wife is?

  Jeff : I'm the guy with the jeep. You gave my wife a ride, you were supposed to drop her off at Belle's Diner.

  Red Barr : Not me, sorry.

  [Starts walking away] 

  Jeff : What do you mean "sorry"? This was like a half hour ago, you don't remember?

  Red Barr : Look, I don't know how to tell you this, but I've never seen you before in my life!

• Jeff : [Jeff is starting to panic looking for his wife - he looks inside the window of Red's truck]  Amy? Amy are you in there?

  Red Barr : Look mister, I dunno what you want...

  Jeff : I want my wife back, is what I want!

• Arleen : [Jeff is holding a gun at Red and his family]  Warren, what's going on?

  Red : I don't know, Arleen. Just stay calm.

  Jeff Taylor : Your husband is a murderer and a kidnapper is what's going on!

• Red : [Looking at the engine bay of Jeff's jeep which has broken down]  Y'know, it used to be you give these things a kick and a holler, and they start right up. Now they've got computers and chips...

  Jeff : It *is* a new car.

  Red : Y'know, that could be it. You've been riding this thing pretty hard? 'Coz they tend to overheat when they're new.

  Jeff : [Sheepishly]  Yeah, a little... .

• Jeff : [On a payphone]  When do I see my wife?

  Red Barr : Soon enough Jeff. Just start walkin'.

• Red : [about to lock Amy into a freezer in the basement to die]  Aww c'mon baby, it's not as bad as it sounds. It'll take you about 10 minutes to suck all that air out, then you probably won't even feel it!

• Red : Look, I don't mean to butt in, but maybe you've confused my truck with somebody else's.

  Jeff : Go to hell, you son of a bitch!

• Red : This guy comes out no where forces me off the road starts yelling and holler ring about his missing wife I swear I've never seen him before.

• Billy, Gang Member : Y'know, none of this would've happened if you'd gotten that jerk the same time as his wife.

  Red : Wouldn't get in the fucken truck! I suppose you just pick up a gun and chase him out into the desert? Fucken idiot!

• Red : [Red is with his gang and has just revealed Amy wrapped in a bag and she's not responsive]  Dead? Must've died from the exhaust. Suicide!

  [laughs] 

  Red : Couldn't be any cleaner than that now, could ya?
