Patti Jean
- [while driving recklessly on the road at night]
- Patti Jean: I swear to God, I can't stand them when they get drunk, and belive me I have learned that you do not want to mess with them when they get that way. You just gotta ride it out until it passes. Besides, if they ain't drunk, they're just dull as hell. I'm glad you came along, cause he was staring to drive me crazy. Hey, you got a cigarette? I left my pack back in my purse back there at the carnival.
- April: I don't smoke.
- Patti Jean: God, I wish I had your discipline. I tried to quit smoking once but I thought, "what the fuck? I'm just gonna die sooner or later anyway." Is your name April? I knew it. You're the one about to be married. Perry told me all about you when we first met this afternoon. I'm Patti Jean. Say, did that son of a bitch make you take an AIDS test before he fucked you? Didn't think so. He said it wasn't cause he's afraid of dying. He just didn't want to be spreading the disease on down the line. Personally, if you ask me, I think he didn't want to die havin' people think he was gay. Cause he's pretty enough to give people that impression. It kind of humiliated me. You wanna talk about humiliation? I know this girl who flies with Savannah, and she told me that when people die on airplanes, what they do is lock 'em in the fucking bathroom before they land. Now I ask you, if that ain't the ultimate humiliation, what is? Ending up your life on a toilet seat, 35,000 feet in the air.
- Patti Jean: So, what color's your living room?
- April: White. But it's not my house, its my parents.
- Patti Jean: Is your bedroom white too?
- April: It's beige with floral print.
- Patti Jean: My whole place down in Texas is wood panel. Never lived in anything but. Except when I lived in Vegas. I was married to my second husband, he was this guy in the Air Force. They put us up at this high-rise condo at Indian Springs that was great. A prefab with a balcony.
