Thelma & Louise Quotes

Louise: [as Harlan is starting to rape Thelma, Louise puts a gun to the back of his head] You let her go, you fuckin' asshole, or I'm gonna splatter your ugly face all over this nice car!
Harlan: [letting Thelma go, as Louise presses the gun harder into his neck] All right, hey, hey, hey, just calm down. We were just having a little fun, that's all.

Louise: Looks like you got a real fucked-up idea of fun.
[the two women back away several steps]
Louise: Turn around. In the future, when a woman's crying like that, she isn't having any fun!
Harlan: [the women turn and walk away] Bitch! I shoulda gone ahead and fucked her!
Louise: What did you say?

Harlan: I said suck my cock.
Louise: [Louise shoots him]
Thelma: Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Louise: Get the car.
Thelma: Oh, Jesus Christ. Louise, you shot him. Oh, my God.
Louise: Get the car.
Louise: [looking down at Harlan, in a soft

but angry voice] You watch your mouth, buddy!

Louise: I think I fucked up. I think I got us in a situation where we both could get killed. Damn, I don't know why I just didn't go to the police right away.
Thelma: You know why. You already said.
Louise: What'd I say again?
Thelma: Nobody'd believe us. We'd still get in trouble, we'd still have our lives

ruined. You know what else?
Louise: What?
Thelma: That guy was hurting me. If you hadn't come out when you did, he would've hurt me a lot worse. And probably nothing would've happened to him 'cause everybody did see me dancin' with him all night. They would've made out like I'd asked for it. My life would've been ruined a whole lot worse than it is

now. At least now I'm havin' some fun. And I'm not sorry that son of a bitch is dead. I'm just sorry it was you that did it and not me.

[with a cliff in front of them and cops behind them]
Thelma: OK, then, listen. Let's not get caught.
Louise: What are you talkin' about?
Thelma: Let's keep goin'!
Louise: What d'you mean?
Thelma: Go.
[Thelma nods ahead of them]

Louise: You sure?
Thelma: Yeah. Yeah.
[they hug and kiss, then Louise steps on the gas; Arkansas State Police Investigator Hal Slocumb starts to chase their car on foot]
Max: Hey!

Louise: You remember when we first met?
Jimmy: Yeah.
Louise: What happened? Tell me what you said.
Jimmy: I said you had a nice pair of eyes.
Louise: And what did I say? Do you remember?
Jimmy: Yeah, you shut 'em. Asked me if I knew what color they were.

Louise: And what'd you say?
Jimmy: I didn't know.
Louise: [she covers his eyes] Jimmy, what color are my eyes?
Jimmy: They're brown.

Louise: Thelma, listen up, now. If you even think he knows, I mean, even if you're not sure, I want you to hang up, you understand?
Thelma: [dials the number]
Darryl: [exchanges looks with police, then answers phone] Hello.
Thelma: Darryl, it's me.
Darryl: [with forced cheer] Thelma,

hello!
Thelma: [hangs up] He knows.

Thelma: [shouting wildly as she runs back to the car] Driiive, Louise! Drive! Drive the car! Come on. Go! Go! Go go go go go!
Louise: What happened?
[Thelma holds up money]
Louise: You robbed the store? You robbed the goddamn store?
Thelma: Well, we needed the money.
Louise: Oh!

Thelma: It's not like I killed anybody, for God's sake!
Louise: Thelma!
Thelma: I'm sorry, we needed the money, now we have it.
Louise: Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit, Thelma!
Thelma: Louise. Louise.
Louise: Oh, shit!
Thelma: Come on,

get a grip. Drive us to goddamn Mexico, will you?
Louise: Okay. Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Well, how... How'd you... I mean, what'd you say?
Thelma: Well, I just waltzed on in there and I said...
[cut to surveillance video of Thelma robbing the store as watched by Hal, Max, and Darryl]

Thelma: Hey Louise, better slow down. I'd just die if we get caught over a speeding ticket.
Louise: You know, for the first time in my life I wish this car wasn't green.
Thelma: Are you sure we should be driving like this? I mean, in broad daylight and everything?
Louise: No we shouldn't, but I want to put

some distance between us and
[shouts]
Louise: the scene of our last goddamn crime!
[they both laugh and scream with joy]
Thelma: Oh, man! You wouldn't have believed it. It was like I'd been doin' it all my life. I mean, nobody would believe it.
Louise: Think you found your callin'?
Thelma:

Maybe. Maybe. The call of the wild!
[gets up in her seat as both scream and laugh]
Louise: You are disturbed!
Thelma: Yeah, I believe I am.
