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 : 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 : 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 : 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.

• Tom Reagan : Rug Daniels is dead.

  Verna : Gee, that's tough.

  Tom Reagan : Don't get hysterical.

• 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.
