Quotes

Desert Hearts

Edit
  • Vivian: I wouldn't know what to do.
  • Cay: You can start by putting the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door.
  • Buck: [to Cay regarding her number of female visitors] How you get all that traffic with no equipment is beyond me!
  • [last lines]
  • Vivian: Come with me. Ride with me to the next station.
  • Cay: What are we gonna get settled in 40 minutes?
  • Vivian: I'll talk fast.
  • Cay: Send me a postcard when you get there. What is it you want?
  • Vivian: Another 40 minutes with you.
  • Vivian: Can I be honest with you, Frances?
  • Frances: It's a dyin' art, so be my guest.
  • Vivian: I won't take off my robe.
  • Cay: Well, we all have to draw the line somewhere.
  • Vivian: [of her marriage] It drowned in still waters.
  • Frances: He reached in and put a string of lights around my heart.
  • Cay: Come on. I'm used to this.
  • Vivian: Well, I'm not!
  • Cay: Listen, you're just visiting the way I live. I guess it would suit you find to hide in that hotel room until your train leaves.
  • Vivian: Oh, then let's hire a float. You are so insistent on making everyone think the way you do!
  • Cay: Oh, yeah. You're making real headway in that department!
  • Vivian: You have no fear, no confusion, and so self-assured. Are you trying to be some liberal idealist trying to change the world?
  • Cay: I don't act that way to change the world. I act that way so that the goddamn world won't change me!
  • Vivian: [while kissing Cay] I don't usually feel this way at 11 o'clock in the morning.
  • Cay: Take your hands out of your pockets and come here.
  • Cay: I want you to open the door.
  • Vivian: And I want you to leave me alone.
  • Cay: I can't! Honest.
  • Cay: Vivian, we have to get out of here, you know. Stand up. Take a walk. Have a Coke. Window shop?
  • Vivian: My only clear memory is arriving. The rest is a blur. An absolute blur.
  • Cay: Can't you find something better to do?
  • Walter: Not since you came onto the scene!
  • Frances: Button yourself up. The professor doesn't want to see your business popping through. Where are your pants?
  • Gwen: Long time no see, Miz Parker.
  • Frances: [disdainfully] I'm handlin' it.
  • Cay: [after Vivian breaks away from a passionate kiss] We don't have to stop.
  • Vivian: I do.
  • Cay: Where did you learn to kiss like that?
  • Vivian: I don't know where that came from. It's back where it belongs, and I don't want to talk about it anymore. Take me back.
  • Cay: [tries to look through the rain on the windshield] I can't see a thing!
  • Vivian: I'll take my chances. Just drive.
  • [to Vivian while playing two slot machines]
  • Hungarian Gambler: You don't play, you can't win.
  • Cay: [to Vivian] Roll it all the way down
  • Vivian: [to Cay] I've never felt this way before.
  • Silver: I'm in a "can't keep my hands off him" phase.
  • Cay: Did you invite me over to, ah, watch the show?
