Dialogue

[edit]
Lyle: [finding Michael laying down in the middle of the road] What the fuck are you doing?
Michael: My car broke down.
Lyle: Where? I don't see a car.
Michael: It's just over that ridge.
Lyle: 'Just over that ridge', huh? Well you're one lucky son of a bitch, aren't you? If I hadn't had my brakes just done, I'd be picking your brains out of my radiator. Fuck.
Michael: Look, I hate to ask you this, but do you think you could give me a ride?
Lyle: I don't know. You're not dangerous, are you?
Lyle: I nearly greased your can back there. The least I can do is buy you a beer.
Michael: Thanks but I should get my car, you've done enough already.
Lyle: Now I said I'd help you get your car.
Michael: Really, it's okay.
Lyle: You don't wanna drink with me? I'm not good enough to buy you a beer?
Suzanne: Have you ever been married?
Michael: No.
Suzanne: It does strange things to people.
Truck Driver: [points gun at Michael's head] Does that tickle? 'Cause it won't if I pull the trigger! What the hell are you doing on my truck?
Michael: Sorry boss, I didn't mean to scare 'ya.
Truck Driver: [Smiles and points the gun closer] Do I look scared to you? What the hell are you doing on my truck?
Michael: I was just trying to ditch my old lady.
Truck Driver: You were WHAT?
Michael: Yeah, she caught me in the barn, and I wasn't supposed to be there, and she started sproutin' horns and shit.
Truck Driver: Bullshit. Bullshit. [cocks gun and smiles] Look at that uncontrolled response to bullshit. I hate it when that happens!
Michael: Yeah, I don't like it either, but I had to get the hell out of there.
Truck Driver: So you just climbed up on my truck?
Michael: Yeah.
Truck Driver: That's kind of stupid, isn't it?
Michael: Yeah, well, you haven't met my wife. She's spooky.
Truck Driver: Yeah? Yeah? You're lying to me. Get off my truck. Come on, get off. [truck driver goes back inside his vehicle and offers Michael a lift]
Michael: [Michael climbs off the truck] Oh, man.
Lyle: I knew a guy like you once. Thought he was better than everybody else. That's it ain't it Mike? You think you're better than me, don't you?
Michael: Why don't you just blow me?
Lyle: Ohhh, you think you're real hot shit don't ya Mike? Huh? Well who's got the gun cowboy?
Michael: Is there a problem officer?
Deputy Greytack: Yeah. Looks like we have an attempted homicide on our hands.
Michael: Homicide? What are you talkin' about, it was an accident.
Deputy Greytack: [holds up bullets] Well then how do you explain these...?
Doctor: He's been shot twice in the stomach.
Lyle: Wayne? She got away. The cowboy was here, they got the jump on me.
Wayne: Do you know where they went?
Lyle: Hell, no. How could I? I've been staring at my eyelids for the last hour and a half.
