Quotes 

• Little Fauss : I was going faster than I ever went in my whole life, then I fell off.

• Halsy Knox : You know, sometimes when I'm drunk... .. I really think that they're princesses, and then I wake up and they're just pigs.

  Little Fauss : I just figured you like pigs.

• Halsy Knox : [after Little Fauss discovers Rita is pregnant]  Yeah, we couldn't hustle up enough loot to hustle up a doctor soon enough, and now it's too late. And, Hell, I'd marry her like that, except they just caught up with me for not supporting one family, and, Hell, I don't even know if I'm divorced yet. Hell, you know me, I'm not the kinda guy who can just cut out on some girl. And, well, remembering how much in love that you two were, I just kinda figured that I'd step right outta your ways if you thought you might wanna get together and team up again, get something going.

  Little Fauss : You mean comeback and be your tuner, and take a shot at Rita once in awhile, right?

  Halsy Knox : Well... . you have a low mind, Little.

• Halsy Knox : It ain't how you do, babe. It's where you been. Ain't you learned that yet?

  Little Fauss : It's how you do, Halsy.

• Little Fauss : [getting drunk together while broke down on the side of the highway]  Hey, Halsy, you know, just because I don't yak it up all the time, I'm not your pure St. Peter, you know?

  Halsy Knox : You know what? All I say is just talk.

  Little Fauss : Uh, you sure are a great talker, man. You had two chicks in the sack. And stupid me, man, sleeping in the car.

• Little Fauss : What's your hurry? Where are we even going?

  Halsy Knox : Just some other greasy spoon down the road.

  Little Fauss : Yeah, just some other greasy spoon down the road.

• Halsy Knox : Hey, did you ever notice that you can drive all day and all night, and wherever you stop it's the same greasy hamburgers? The same fried eggs served by the same fat waitress. Yeah, it's just like you never went nowhere at all.

  Little Fauss : It's like you never went nowhere.

  Halsy Knox : That's what I just said. That's what I said, dude. It's always the same.

• Little Fauss : Draft's board's got me. I got drafted.

  Halsy Knox : Crash your bike, man. Get reclassified.

  Little Fauss : You mean... . hurt myself on purpose?

  Halsy Knox : That's what I done.

  Little Fauss : Well, I don't feature that.

  Halsy Knox : Except, when you go to wreck yourself a little, you end up wrecking yourself a lot.
