Tony Block: I'm gonna eat your brains and gain your knowledge.
Dr. Dakota Block: Hi, Joe. I'm going to give you a very strong anesthetic, so you won't feel anything during the procedure. These...
[pats the needles in her shirt pocket]
Dr. Dakota Block: ...are my friends. My yellow friend is to take the sting off.
[injects Joe in the arm with the yellow needle]
Dr. Dakota Block: My
blue friend you'll barely feel.
[injects Joe in the arm with the blue needle]
Dr. Dakota Block: That means my yellow friend is already taking effect. See how fast my friends work?
[injects Joe in the arm with the red needle]
Dr. Dakota Block: And after my red-headed friend, you'll never see me again.
[Joe slobbers over himself
and passes out]
Cherry Darling: You're a doctor?
Dr. Dakota Block: Hmm. I was earlier tonight.
Cherry Darling: I always wanted to be a doctor, instead, I can do this.
[Cherry arches her body up in a bridge position]
Cherry Darling: Useless talent number 66. I'm very pliable.
Dr. Dakota Block:
You know, my girlfriend had a theory. She said at some point in your life, you find a use for every useless talent you ever had. It's like connecting the dots.
Cherry Darling: I'm not that optimistic. I feel like I'm sinking down a drain and I can't get out.
Dr. Dakota Block: She'd say, "when you're stuck in that spiral, you reach up".
Cherry Darling: What if there's nothing up there?
Dr. Dakota Block: Just reach up.
The Rapist: I've seen me a lot of weird shit in my day, but I ain't never seen a one-legged stripper. I seen me a stripper with one breast. And I seen me a stripper with twelve toes. I've even seen me a stripper with no brains at all, but I ain't never seen a one-legged stripper. And I've been to Morocco.
Sheriff Hague: Where the hell are you going?
El Wray: I'm going to get Cherry.
Sheriff Hague: Fine, but we're taking my car.
[his car explodes]
Sheriff Hague: [looking back at Wray] I'm riding with you.
[repeated line]
El Wray: That's my jacket. I looked for it for two weeks.
El Wray: Get up. We're leaving.
Cherry Darling: I can't walk.
El Wray: So what? Get up!
Cherry Darling: Motherfucker! Look at me!
[removes blanket to reveal her missing leg]
Cherry Darling: Look at me! I was gonna be a stand-up comedian! Who's gonna laugh now?
El
Wray: Some of the best jokes are about cripples. Let's go.
Cherry Darling: It's not funny. I'm pathetic.
El Wray: Would you stop crying over fucking spilt milk?
Cherry Darling: I have no leg!
[looking frustrated, El Wray rips off a wooden table leg and shoves it in Cherry's stump]
El
Wray: Now you do. What do you think?
The Rapist: [muffled under the mask] Do you like Ava Gardner?
Cherry Darling: Sorry?
The Rapist: [removes his mask] Ava Gardner, do you like her?
Cherry Darling: Yeah, I guess...
The Rapist: I was just thinking that you, uh, kinda look like Ava Gardner a little bit.
[pulls out
his pistol]
The Rapist: You know what this is?
Cherry Darling: A gun...
The Rapist: It's simplicity itself: you see, you point it at what you wanta die, and you pull the little trigger here, and a little bullet comes outta here, and the little bullet hits you
[taps her between the eyes]
The
Rapist: right there! And you know what? You don't look like Ava Gardner no more.
