Quotes from Gene Hackman movies and TV shows - page 5 of 5

Nicholas Earp: Do you think you're the first person to lose someone? That's what life is all about, loss! But we don't use it as an excuse to destroy ourselves. We go on, all of us.

Hannah Lund: Wait.
Zandy Allan: Wait? Why, hell, I spoke you straight. I married you! Give me that! Damn you! I got the right!

Hannah Lund: I hope you find a friend.
Zandy Allan: Friend? A friend is one who keeps their part of the bargain. You want a friend in me? Give me the sums I asked for.

Zandy Allan: They all get what they want and I don't.

Zandy Allan: You cut your hair just to spite me, didn't you.
Hannah Lund: I didn't cut it! I curled it with two nails.
Zandy Allan: You're a hateful woman, you know that! You're just hateful!

Zandy Allan: Tony Gallo, huh? You finally got somebody to go to the bushes with you.
Maria Cordova: Shit on you. I died when you married that woman.
Zandy Allan: You're gonna look real funny over there at your wedding with a black eye. And that's where you're heading, chica.

Maria Cordova: I don't think she knows about us, though.
Zandy Allan: That's not too hard to understand, since there's nothing to know.
Maria Cordova: Yeah, well, I could tell her about all them times you tried to pick up my skirts.
Zandy Allan: When I was a young buck, I used to pick up a lot of things. My Pa used to have a black calf I used to pick up for awhile. So, I wouldn't feel too special if I was you.

Zandy Allan: You was the first woman I ever had.
Hannah Lund: There's not doubt about that, Zander. Alexander.

Hannah Lund: You put a hand on me and you'll have to kill me. As God as my witness, I will not be raped again.
Zandy Allan: That wasn't no rape! I paid my money for you! That wasn't no rape!
Hannah Lund: Wasn't it?

Zandy Allan: Answer me: are you with child?
Hannah Lund: This last month I've been so frightened.
Zandy Allan: Of my son?
Hannah Lund: Of the rape child. Rape children are simpleminded. Almost always.
