• Carol : You know, you still need some money until you can earn some. You want me to help?

  Sonny : D'I have to fuck for it?

  Carol : Yeah.

• Carol : Now I know why Mother calls you "a natural born whore."

  Sonny : That's not the reason.

• Sonny : How's the husband, Meg?

  Meg : Oh, well, I've traded that old dud in for a new one... since I've seen you.

• Sonny : Come on, Henry. You know half the people in the quarter know me as a whore. No one's gonna give me a straight job.

• Sonny : Hey, Mama. W'don't you just give him some pussy?

  Jewel : Is that any way to talk to your poor mama?

• Sonny : We ALL failures, Mama.

  Jewel : You see, that's easier to say than to live with.

• Henry : All them squares out there, they got just as many problems as you've got.

  Sonny : So you think I should stay, too?

  Henry : No, I... I ain't sayin' that. I'm just... I just... I just want you to understand that if you... if you're goin' to the other side, that-that you're gonna inherit a whole new set of problems. Stayin' or goin' is up to you. I care for you, boy. I just don't want you gettin' in t' anything that you can't handle.

• Gretchen : [having just had sex with Sonny]  Oh, my God. That was... amazin'. You know, you should do that for a livin'. Oh...

  Sonny : I do.

• Sonny : Twenty years ago, my mama used to work here. One day this Texas pimp came in, tried to steal her back to Dallas. She runs in the room, calls my daddy. My daddy runs through that door with this sawed-off shotgun, the pimp sittin' right over here, and my daddy let's this load of double-ought buckshot right past his nose. That pimp was up, out of here, never heard from again. That's the only story my mama ever told me about my daddy.

  Carol : Well, then, what happened to him?

  Sonny : I don't know. I never met him. You know, he just up and left. Mama won't talk abut him. Hell, I don't even know what he looked like.
