Answer 1

Perry: It doesn't make sense. I mean what happened. It had nothing to do with the Clutters. They never hurt me. They just happened to be there. I thought Mr. Clutter was a very nice gentleman... I thought so right up to the time I cut his throat.

--------------------------------------...

Perry: I'd like to apologize, but who to.

--------------------------------------...

Perry: It's true! Really true! We're on our way and never coming back. Never! And no regrets.

d**k: For you. You're leaving nothing. What about my old man... and my mother? They'll still be there when my checks start bouncing.

Perry: It's nice the way you think about your folks.

d**k: Yeah! I'm a real thoughtful b*****d.

--------------------------------------...

Perry: When you hit the end of the rope... your muscles lose control. I'm afraid I'll mess myself.

Prison Guard: It's nothing to be ashamed of. They all do it.

--------------------------------------...

d**k: [to Perry, just after arrest] Hey, Buddy, put in a call for that big, ol' Yellow Bird!

--------------------------------------...

d**k: Did you ever hang any paper?

Perry: I couldn't cash a check, even if it was good!

--------------------------------------...

[first lines]

Little girl on bus: 'Scuse me.

--------------------------------------...

Alvin Dewey: Someday, somebody will explain to me the motive of a newspaper. First, you scream, "Find the b******s." Till we find them, you want to get us fired. When we find them, you accuse us of brutality. Before we go into court, you give them a trial by newspaper. When we finally get a conviction, you want to save them by proving they were crazy in the first place.

--------------------------------------...

Reporter: They say Nancy's boyfriend is the prime suspect.

Alvin Dewey: Is that what they say?

Reporter: Well, he was the last one to see them alive.

Alvin Dewey: Except for the killers.

--------------------------------------...

d**k: [to Perry] I'm SICK of it, maps, buried treasure, ALL OF IT! So ship it, burn it, get RID of that ton and a half of garbage! There AIN'T no buried treasure, and even if there WAS, boy, h**l, you can't even swim!

--------------------------------------...

Perry: I despise people who can't control themselves.

--------------------------------------...

Herbert Clutter: Why do you boys want to do this?

d**k: Shut up!

--------------------------------------...

Perry: Do you have any aspirin? They took my aspirin away.

Alvin Dewey: Fellin' bad?

Perry: My legs do.

--------------------------------------...

d**k: Did you see those guys? They coulda robbed us!

Perry: What of?

--------------------------------------...

Perry: That was stupid - stealin' a lousy pack of razor blades! To prove what?

d**k: It's the national pasttime, baby, stealin' and cheatin'. If they ever count every cheatin' wife and tax chiseler, the whole country would be behind prison walls.

--------------------------------------...

d**k: Next move... Mexico. Once we beat it out of the country.

Perry: On what? $43 and a smile and bullshit.

[First use of the word 'bullshit' in a Hollywood film]

d**k: You guessed it, chief. It's the smile that does it. Like it says in the commercials, the family that sticks together lives forever.

--------------------------------------...

Perry: [to himself, looking in a bathroom mirror] Stick 'em up!

Perry: Hey, buddy!

Perry: [realizing he's being watched] How long you been standin' there?

d**k: Long enough to catch your late late show.

--------------------------------------...

d**k: I don't know gold dust from diarrhea!

--------------------------------------...

Perry: [quoting his father] Look at me boy! Take a good look! Cause I'm the last living thing you're ever gonna see!
