Quotes 

• Duane : I thought you hated Jacy.

  Ruth Popper : I don't hold grudges for 30 years! She was just a girl then.

• Duane : I don't know why we're even talkin' about this.

  Ruth Popper : Because, the oil business has gone belly up and there's nothin' for you to do but sleep with every woman you can find.

• Duane : I doubt she'd even remember me, Ruth.

  Ruth Popper : You remember her, don't you? Why should her memory be worst than yours?

  Duane : Oh, I just meant we weren't friends any more.

  Ruth Popper : I think you'd rather go pick on footloose wives than help a woman you used to love.

• Duane : Why is Sonny living in your trailer? Why do you think you can live with someone who's crazy?

  Ruth Popper : Sonny's a very mild person. And he loved me once. I would have been dead long ago if Sonny hadn't loved me. I think it's my place to take him in.

  Duane : You're gettin' awfully Christian in your old age.
