Quotes 

• Zandy Allan : Tony Gallo, huh? You finally got somebody to go to the bushes with you.

  Maria Cordova : Shit on you. I died when you married that woman.

  Zandy Allan : You're gonna look real funny over there at your wedding with a black eye. And that's where you're heading, chica.

• Zandy Allan : You was the first woman I ever had.

  Hannah Lund : There's not doubt about that, Zander. Alexander.

• Maria Cordova : I don't think she knows about us, though.

  Zandy Allan : That's not too hard to understand, since there's nothing to know.

  Maria Cordova : Yeah, well, I could tell her about all them times you tried to pick up my skirts.

  Zandy Allan : When I was a young buck, I used to pick up a lot of things. My Pa used to have a black calf I used to pick up for awhile. So, I wouldn't feel too special if I was you.

• Zandy Allan : You got a baby?

  Hannah Lund : No. Thank God!

  Zandy Allan : Thank God? What the hell do you think you're here for? My pleasure? I got these.

  [holds up his hand] 

  Zandy Allan : The five sisters. They've been pleasure enough for me until now. I made it clear to you what I wanted.

• Zandy Allan : Answer me: are you with child?

  Hannah Lund : This last month I've been so frightened.

  Zandy Allan : Of my son?

  Hannah Lund : Of the rape child. Rape children are simpleminded. Almost always.

• Zandy Allan : They all get what they want and I don't.

• Hannah Lund : I hope you find a friend.

  Zandy Allan : Friend? A friend is one who keeps their part of the bargain. You want a friend in me? Give me the sums I asked for.

• Zandy Allan : You cut your hair just to spite me, didn't you.

  Hannah Lund : I didn't cut it! I curled it with two nails.

  Zandy Allan : You're a hateful woman, you know that! You're just hateful!

• Street Girl : Hello, cowboys. Want to go to heaven for a buck? Upside, downside, your pleasure.

  Zandy Allan : I don't want to argue with you. Go on.

  Street Girl : It don't look like you're getting it elsewhere.

• Zandy Allan : I told you what my way of life was. I got no taste to change either.

  Hannah Lund : Everything has changed. You did it. You answered my letters.

• Zandy Allan : It's rough where I live. No roads. No neighbors. I eat deer meat and beans. I spend all I make on cattle. That's my style. I got no mind to change. I work seven day a week. And I expect a woman that I marry to do the same. Comfort my bed at night.

• Hannah Lund : You put a hand on me and you'll have to kill me. As God as my witness, I will not be raped again.

  Zandy Allan : That wasn't no rape! I paid my money for you! That wasn't no rape!

  Hannah Lund : Wasn't it?

• Hannah Lund : Wait.

  Zandy Allan : Wait? Why, hell, I spoke you straight. I married you! Give me that! Damn you! I got the right!

• Hannah Lund : I won't lose it.

  Zandy Allan : What if you do? Cause you're old and you're worn out. I asked you right at first if you could have any. You said you could. So, I give you a chance. All I want is what every man wants.
