Johnny: In time, you'll see that this is the best thing.
Loretta: In time, you'll drop dead and I'll come to your funeral in a red dress.

Rose: Now he's going to play that damn Vicki Carr record, and when he comes to bed he won't touch me.

Ronny: I love you.
Loretta: *slaps him twice* Snap out of it!

Rose: I just want you to know that no matter what you do, you're still gonna die.
Cosmo: Thank you, Rose.

Rose: Have I been a good wife?
Cosmo: Yeah.
Rose: I want you to stop seeing her.
Cosmo: *rises, slams his hand on the table, sits down* Okay.

Cosmo: There are three kinds of pipe. There's aluminum, which is garbage. There's bronze, which is pretty good, unless something goes wrong. And something always goes wrong. Then, there's copper, which is the only pipe I use. It costs money. It costs money because it saves money.

Ronny: I'm no friggin' monument to justice! I lost my hand! I lost my bride!Johnny has his hand! Johnny has his bride! You want me to take my heartache, put it away and forget?

Ronny: You ruined my life.
Loretta: That's impossible! It was ruined when I got here! You ruined my life!

Rose: Why do men chase women?
Johnny: Well, there's a Bible story... God... God took a rib from Adam and made Eve. Now maybe men chase women to get the rib back. When God took the rib, he left a big hole there, where there used to be something. And the women have that. Now maybe, just maybe, a man isn't complete as a man without a woman.
Rose: *frustrated* Why would a man need more than one woman?
Johnny: I don't know. Maybe because he fears death.
Rose: That's it! That's the reason!
Johnny: I don't know.
Rose: No! That's it! Thank you! Thank you for answering my question!

Ronny: You're gonna marry my brother? Why you wanna sell your life short? Playing it safe is just about the most dangerous thing a woman like you could do. You waited for the right man the first time, why didn't you wait for the right man again?
Loretta: He didn't come!
Ronny: I'm here!
Loretta: You're late!

Loretta: I'm getting married.
Cosmo: Again?
Loretta: Yeah.
Cosmo: You did this once before, it didn't work out.
Loretta: The guy died!
