Chiles Stanton : What if I told you I was never Miss Dallas?
Beau Hutton : Well I'll probably like you even more. Were you?
Chiles Stanton : I almost was.
Beau Hutton : What happened?
Chiles Stanton : I choked. Like always. They asked me what my stance on global warming was and all I could think of was a planet in a big old sweater my Grandma used to make me.
Beau Hutton : I'm sure that'll keep the world nice and warm.
Chiles Stanton : Do you still like me?
Beau Hutton : I still like you.
Chiles Stanton : I'm serious, Beau.
Beau Hutton : I still like you.
Chiles Stanton : I'm not what I seem.
Beau Hutton : Oh maybe that's what I like about you. D'you ever think of that? You know maybe that's what makes you different from all those other pretty pennies out there.
[they kiss]

Chiles Stanton : [singing] ... whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away.
[she sees Beau on the doorway]
Chiles Stanton : Oh hi Beau.
Beau Hutton : Ever be here to wish me good luck?
Chiles Stanton : I'm on board. I'm playing three songs tonight.
Beau Hutton : Says who?
Chiles Stanton : Says James Canter, that's who.
Beau Hutton : Bullshit.
Chiles Stanton : Bulltrue. I happen to be in consideration as an opening act for Miss Kelly Canter. James, my new manager, booked me this gig as a rehearsal. Not that I need it. I've been waiting for this moment since I was four year old.
Beau Hutton : Last time I saw you sing, you froze up like an ice cube.
Chiles Stanton : That was seven and a half months ago. And it was just that one time. I'm not playing county fairs anymore. I'm much more seasoned.
Beau Hutton : You don't have any songs. You can't even play the guitar.
Chiles Stanton : I've been writing songs. I got a whole bunch of them right over there.
[points at her dresser]
Beau Hutton : [reads the titles of the lyrics] Little Heartbreaker, Summer Girl, Rinky Dinky Town... these aren't songs, these are rides at Disneyland.
Chiles Stanton : [sings mockingly] I've got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns...

Reporter : Chiles, who is your idol?
Chiles Stanton : Kelly Canter and Jesus Christ.
Beau Hutton : [to Kelly] You and Jesus Christ, who would have thought?
Kelly Canter : They love her.

Beau's Mother : So you're opening for the looney tunes? They need to lock that one up and throw away the key.
Beau Hutton : She's not crazy.
-
Chiles Stanton : Dallas is gonna be canceled isn't it? She's crazy.
Beau Hutton : She's not crazy. She's the only honest one here. Why are you here Chiles?
Chiles Stanton : Uhm.
Beau Hutton : I'm tired.
[closes the door]
Chiles Stanton : Wait.
[blocked the door]
Beau Hutton : Wait what? You wanna come in?
Chiles Stanton : Stop it.
Beau Hutton : Fine.
Chiles Stanton : Wait. Don't... don't make me say it.
Beau Hutton : Say what?
Chiles Stanton : You're being very rude right now.
Beau Hutton : Tell me what you want.
Chiles Stanton : Nothing.
[They kiss]

Kelly Canter : I loved that baby too, Beau. I was sadder than anyone when I lost it. I can't change my past, you know? I can't change how much I drink. I'm stronger than all of us, you know?
Beau Hutton : I know.
Kelly Canter : I'm gonna give them one hell of a show.

Beau Hutton : What are you looking at?
[takes papers from Chiles' hands]
Beau Hutton : When did General MacArthur return to the Phillipines?
Chiles Stanton : 1946.
Beau Hutton : What does "amorous" means?
Chiles Stanton : Having a propensity for falling in love.
Beau Hutton : [laughing] What the hell are these things?
Chiles Stanton : Well... as a woman in this industry, people have a habit of thinking I'm some kind of ignoramous. And my pageant training doesn't exactly help things, so I have to overcompensate. I don't want people to think I'm some dumb beauty queen.
Beau Hutton : I never called you a dumb beauty queen. I'm serious, anybody that says "ignoramous" so casually... that's not dumb at all.
Beau's Bandmate : Ugh. Why don't y'all sleep together and get this over with?
-
Beau Hutton : [they're riding on a train] So, what do you think?
Kelly Canter : I think I'm Kelly Canter and I'm breaking the law!

James Canter : Where the hell were you when she had a bottle of vodka in her dressing room?
Beau Hutton : I was on stage.
James Canter : You were on stage! Jesus Christ, don't you have any tricks up your sleeve?
