Quotes 

• Jason Alexander : I've never flown in a plane before.

  Lyric : Sometimes you don't need a plane to fly.

• Jason Alexander : [after he and Lyric travel to the bayou]  Damn, it's quiet out here! I should've brought my radio.

  Lyric : [Smiling]  No, it's not quiet. It's full of music. Just listen.

• Jason Alexander : Ghosts. I guess everyone lives with them. Some good, some bad. But memories won't let you forget. They have a way of boomeranging, changing a life forever.

• Jason Alexander : Hi, um, Jason. I'm Jason Alexander.

  Lyric : That's very nice to know, Jason. Now, can I have my keys? My brother does need his truck and I do need to get to work.

  Jason Alexander : [Giving the car keys]  Where do you work?

  Lyric : [Chuckles]  Why, you looking for a job?

  Jason Alexander : No, I just thought maybe, you know, one night we could get together...

  Lyric : Well... If it's meant to be, you'll find me.

  [Smiling] 

• Jason Alexander : If you wanted a man to take you to some place special, where would that place be?

  Gloria : You met somebody.

  Jason Alexander : [Chuckles]  I didn't say all that.

  Gloria : What's she like?

  Jason Alexander : Damn!

  [Both laughing] 

  Jason Alexander : Female intuition. Can't get a take on her, you know. One minute, she's dissing me, giving me a hard time and the next minute, she's showing me things I ain't never seen before.

• Jason Alexander : Beautiful night, ain't it?

  Lyric : [Rolling eyes]  Magical.

  Jason Alexander : Damn, you're cold. You always this difficult?

  Lyric : Can't you find somebody else to harass?

  Jason Alexander : Harass? I thought I was being charming.

  Lyric : Wrong.

  Jason Alexander : Come on, let me give you a ride.

  Lyric : Look, I don't know you, okay? For all I know, you're a gangster. And I don't ride with no gangsters.

  Jason Alexander : Yo, I ain't no gangster. I got a job. You know what I'm saying? No drugs. No guns. I sell TVs all day long. I sold you one, as a matter of fact. I wear this corny uniform, eat fried chicken almost every day, because my mama works at Frenchy's. I have nightmares that I'm gonna grow wings and cluck like a chicken! I ask you, is that the life of a gangster?

  Lyric : [Cannot contain her smile] 

  Jason Alexander : You smile.

  Lyric : [Stop smiling]  So?

• Jason Alexander : So... I guess you come here a lot.

  Lyric : Best place in town to watch the sunset.

  [Pointing at the sunset] 

  Lyric : Look at that.

  Jason Alexander : I ain't never really watched the sun set before.

  Jason Alexander : [When walking Lyric back home]  So tell me something. When can we get together again? 'Cause, you know, I was thinking that maybe we could just...

  Lyric : [Putting her fingers on Jason's lips]  Surprise me.

• Jason Alexander : This round's on me.

  Lyric : Jason, what are you doing?

  Jason Alexander : You said, "Surprise me."

  Lyric : Well, I didn't mean for you to go steal no bus!

  Jason Alexander : This bus belongs to us for the day. My man hooked this up. Come on. I'm gonna take you to a special place.

  Lyric : [Still confused while entering the bus]  I don't know about this. Jason, you sure about this?

• Jason Alexander : Well, don't be scared. You scared? I'll take care.

  Lyric : I can take care of myself just fine, thank you.

  Jason Alexander : Yeah, but I'll take care of you better.

  Lyric : Oh, you think so?

  Jason Alexander : I know it.

• Jason Alexander : [sigh]  You'll stay with me?

  Lyric : [Smiling]  Yeah.

  Jason Alexander : I'm so tired. I just wanna sleep without nightmares tonight.

• Joshua Alexander : Why are you still talking about her? What is this? You fuckin' putting her above me? You're putting her above me, man!

  Jason Alexander : Josh, no, man!

  Joshua Alexander : What about me?

  Jason Alexander : What about you? You know, I've spent my whole fuckin' life for you! Josh, I can't do that no more, man.

  Joshua Alexander : Oh, I'm tired of you telling me I'm fucking up, man! Shit. 'Cause I took care of this. Fuck you, man!

  Jason Alexander : You took this, then you're fucked up! This shit is fucked up! I'm tired of your shit, Josh! I don't need this no more!

  Joshua Alexander : I don't need you! I don't need you!

  Jason Alexander : I don't give a fuck talking about you, Josh! Don't make me do this again, nigger.

  [Pointing his gun to Joshua] 

  Jason Alexander : Come on, Josh, let her go. Don't make me do this again, man.

  Joshua Alexander : She's taking you away from me, man!

  [Clicking his gun, pointed to Lyric's chest] 

  Joshua Alexander : She's taking you away from me! Isn't she taking you away from me? Well, I ain't got nothing.

  Jason Alexander : But, I love you, man.

  Joshua Alexander : I ain't got nothing man?

  [Accidentally shoots Lyric] 

  Joshua Alexander : I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it.

  [Pulling Jason's gun to his face] 

  Joshua Alexander : Shoot me. Shoot me.
