Rowdy: Shut up!
[threatens to hit her with butt of revolver]
Ginny Grafton: All right, all right, I will!
Kurt: [driving] Great, just great, mastermind. We were just gonna score the stuff and split. What in the hell are we gonna do with this dippy broad?
Ginny Grafton: [outraged] Hey!
Rowdy: Shut up! I didn't know the guy was gonna have a gun! How could I know that?
Kurt: You know, you are stupid, Rowdy. That's what you are, you're just plain *stupid*! You don't get it, do you? Just lickety-split, you're gonna...
Rowdy: Do we waste her?
Ginny Grafton: [yells] No way!
Rowdy: [slaps her on the shoulder] You dont get a vote!
Ginny Grafton: Look, my father will pay a lot for me. He owns the bank. You can't kill me.

Ginny Grafton: [yells] Hey, wait a minute!
Kurt: Stop that!
Ginny Grafton: If you touch me, I swear...!
Rowdy: What? What are you gonna do, huh?
[gets slapped through the face, hard!]
Kurt: Will you knock it off, both of you? Just let me think, all right?

Fraser Sweeney: But you have to take me there. I gotta save Ginny!
Daniel 'Mac' MacDonald: Who the hell do you think you are? The Lone Ranger?
Fraser Sweeney: I know exactly who I am! I'm the feel who's gotten straight A's since the third grade who still can't get a girl to kiss him!

Ginny Grafton: [to the boy photographer] Yo, Fraser! How's my chances of getting a page in the yearbook?
Fraser Sweeney: Great! A cinch...!

[goes on her way]

Ginny Grafton: [sitting upright on bale of hay] You can untie me, you know. I'm not gonna go anywhere.
Rowdy: I don't know. I kinda like you this way.
Ginny Grafton: [plays him] Rowdy... don't...
Rowdy: Don't what?
Ginny Grafton: Don't hurt me...

Kurt: [as he ties her hands behind her back again] You ought not to go around poking unless you wanna get bitten.
Ginny Grafton: I'm sure I don't know what you mean.
Kurt: Rowdy, he ain't none too bright, but he can be real mean when he wants to be. I know you. You're Daddy's little girl, you always... got what you wanted by crawling up into someone's lap. Don't you go fanning Rowdy's flames. 'Cause I ain't turning in no damaged goods. Comprende?

Ginny Grafton: [calls from the bedroom in which she is being held captive] Hello! Excuse me?
Rowdy: [Kurt snapped his fingers, and Rowdy's his obedient dog] What? What?
Ginny Grafton: [still tied up] I have to, you know, use the little girls' room.
Rowdy: Well, don't let me stop you!
[laughs heartily]
Kurt: [calls from outside room] Rowdy!
Rowdy: Just having fun!
[hangs his head in exasperation, then starts untying Ginny]
Ginny Grafton: Thanks, Rowdy. Last night... I had to try to escape, you know, I just wouldn't feel good about myself.
Rowdy: I know...
Ginny Grafton: Rowdy?
Rowdy: Huh?
[she lifts up her head to kiss him]
Kurt: [bursts in] Are you two having fun?
[Rowdy straightens to attention and tries to look proper]
Kurt: Now I don't know what's the matter with you, Missy. I think maybe you're dumber than he is.
Rowdy: Wait now, Kurt! You know I hate when you talk like that.
Kurt: Okay.
[holds up his hand, then pats Rowdy on the shoulder]
Kurt: You're still dumber.
Ginny Grafton: At least he's nice to me. Not a total sleaze like you.
Kurt: [as he unties her hands] Too many people have been nice to you. That's your problem. Now if you gotta take a leak, why don't you go ahead and do it? If not, I'm gonna tie you up myself.
[she stands up and goes off]
Rowdy: Take a leak?
[shakes his head]
Rowdy: She's a girl!

Rowdy: [as Kurt taps a glass of water] Hey, Kurt, what are you doing?
Kurt: Pay attention, okay?
[walks over to the couch where 'unconscious' Ginny lies faking]
Rowdy: Hey...!
[gets shushed]
Ginny Grafton: [Kurt was about to tip the water onto her face] Hey! All right, all right!
[scrambles to her feet]
Rowdy: [surprised] Oh, man!
Kurt: Rowly, she had been faking it since before... Vegas!
Rowdy: She...
[points accusatory finger at Ginny]
Kurt: When are you gonna learn, huh? Chicks play all the angles! All the angles!
[looks back at Ginny:]
Kurt: Ain't that right?
Ginny Grafton: Well, he *hit* me!
Kurt: Good. You were getting on my nerves.
Ginny Grafton: And you hit him every time he gets on your nerves?
[folds her arms]
Rowdy: Yeah, usually.
Ginny Grafton: Good.
[smiles excitedly]
Ginny Grafton: Are we really in California?
[gives a little Bambi jump to the door]
Rowdy: Yeah, yeah! Right on Newport Beach! They got the boardwalk, where they got girls
[wildly imitates scantily-clad girl]
Rowdy: in little string bikinis, and, and, and corn dogs! And they have...
[Kurt glares at him]
Rowdy: frozen bananas?
Kurt: What are you? The welcome wagon?

Rowdy: [relieving himself outdoors] Don't worry about her. I flipped her pretty good. She'll be out for a while.
Kurt: [dripping with sarcasm] Yeah, nice going.
Rowdy: I said I was sorry.
[turns towards Kurt, and he has to jump back out of the way]

Kurt: Well, I'm hungry.
[grabs jacket]
Kurt: Thai food all round?
Ginny Grafton: [runs towards door] Can I come? I promise I won't...
Kurt: [annoyed] Ah, ah! This is not date night!
Ginny Grafton: Please! You don't know Daddy. He's probably gone ballistic by now. I will never get out of the house *again.* I can't leave without seeing Los Angeles. I won't try anything, I promise!
Kurt: [yells] Are you nuts?
[to Rowdy:]
Kurt: Snatch her and she makes out like we're doing her a favor!
Ginny Grafton: Well, can Rowdy and I go for a walk on the beach?
Kurt: No!
Ginny Grafton: Why not?
Kurt: I want the two of you to be sitting right here when I get back!

Rowdy: [tries to make conversation after Kurt has left] Do you want some... Avian or something?
Ginny Grafton: Actually... I feel like I have to take a shower. You know, I feel pretty raunchy.
Rowdy: [idea clearly conjures up images, but he shakes his head] Uh-uh, no. No, no, no, no.
Ginny Grafton: I promise I won't try anything.
Rowdy: You can't take a shower,
[shakes his head]
Rowdy: you can't take a shower. No shower, no.
Ginny Grafton: [smiles slyly, sits down next to his chair] I'll leave the door open so you can hear me.
[her hand rubs over his shoulder]
Rowdy: [almost gives in] Well... No.
[shakes his head, mutters to himself, tries to hold to his decision]
Ginny Grafton: Please?
Rowdy: [sighs] Uh... all right, you throw your clothes out, all right? That way, I know you won't try nothin'.
[she smiles, walks off to the bathroom, and he munches on a packet of potato chips]
