Quotes 

• Genevieve : One thing I know for sure. A person can't sneeze in this town without somebody offering them a handkerchief.

• Sonny Crawford : Say, I hear Duane joined the Army.

  Genevieve : Good place for him too.

  Sonny Crawford : Oh, he was just holding that bottle. He didn't mean to hit me with it.

  Genevieve : That boy always had meaness in him. Of course, Jacy's just the kind of girl that brings out the meaness in a man. She's just like her grandmother. Oh, I hadn't ought to talk about them, anyhow. We was all good friends once. Dan roughnecked with Gene Farrow. He and Lois, they used to live in this little one-room place over the newspaper office. Lois couldn't afford a flour sack, much less a mink. I've always had a soft spot for her, though. Yeah, I wondered a lot of times what would've happened if Dan made the strikes that Gene made. They offered that rig to him first. Dan Morgan never took a chance in his life.

  Sonny Crawford : Don't you wish y'all had made it?

  Genevieve : Sure, I wish we made it.

• Genevieve : That boy's always had meanness in him. Jacy's the kind of girl that brings out the meanness in a man.

• Genevieve : I hope you ain't down in the mouth about Charlene.

  Sonny Crawford : I ain't blue about her.

  Genevieve : She doesn't have a good disposition. What are you blue about then?

  Sonny Crawford : Ain't nobody to go with in this town. Jacy's the only pretty girl in school and Duane's got her.

  Genevieve : You know, I'd call that his tough luck.

• Genevieve : One thing I know for sure, a person can't sneeze in this town without somebody offering them a handkerchief.

  Sonny Crawford : What cha mean?

  Genevieve : Nothin'. It's an awful small town for any kind of carrying on.
