Quotes
-
Tom Reagan : All in all not a bad guy - if looks, brains and personality don't count.
Verna : You better hope they don't.
-
Verna : Maybe that's why I like you, Tom. I've never met anyone who made being a son of a bitch such a point of pride.
-
Verna : What're you chewin' over?
Tom Reagan : Dream I had once. I was walkin' in the woods, I don't know why. Wind came up and blew me hat off.
Verna : And you chased it, right? You ran and ran, finally caught up to it and you picked it up. But it wasn't a hat anymore and it changed into something else, something wonderful.
Tom Reagan : Nah, it stayed a hat and no, I didn't chase it. Nothing more foolish than a man chasin' his hat.
-
Verna : I thought you said you didn't care about Leo no more.
Tom Reagan : I said we're through. That's not the same thing.
-
Verna : You think you've raised hell.
Tom Reagan : Sister, when I've raised hell, you'll know it!

Verna : Shouldn't you be doing your job?
Tom Reagan : Intimidating helpless women is my job.
Verna : Then go find one, and intimidate her.
-
Verna : Leo's got the right idea. I like him, he's honest and he's got a heart.
Tom Reagan : Then it's true what they say. Opposites attract.
-
Verna : Why don't we just pick up and leave town? There's nothing keeping you here. I know there's nothing keeping me.
Tom Reagan : What about Bernie?
Verna : He could go with us.
Tom Reagan : You, me and Bernie; where would we go, Verna? Niagara Falls?
-
Verna : That's not why you came, either.
Tom Reagan : Tell me why I came.
Verna : [seductively] The oldest reason there is.
Tom Reagan : There are friendlier places to drink.
-
Verna : What did you tell Leo?
Tom Reagan : I told him you were a tramp and he should dump you.

Verna : That's you all over, Tom. A lie and no heart.
-
Tom Reagan : Miss me?
Verna : Drop dead!
-
Verna : You're a pathetic rumhead!
Tom Reagan : And I love you, angel!
-
Verna : What you doing?
Tom Reagan : Walking...
Verna : Don't let on any more than you have to.
Tom Reagan : ...in the rain.
-
Verna : I guess we both double-crossed Leo. He's well rid of us both. The two of us Tom, we're about bad enough to deserve each other.
Tom Reagan : Are we?
Verna : We're a couple of heels, Tom. Yes we are.
