Hud Bannon: Happens to everybody. Horses, dogs, men. Nobody gets out of life alive.
Homer Bannon: You don't care about people Hud. You don't give a damn about 'em. Oh, you got all that charm goin' for ya. And it makes the youngsters want to be like ya. That's the shame of it because you don't value anything. You don't respect nothing. You keep no check on your appetites at all. You live just for yourself. And that makes you not fit to live with.
Homer Bannon: It don't take long to kill things, not like it takes to grow.
Hud Bannon: I'll remember you, honey. You're the one that got away.
Lonnie Bannon: It's a lonely old night isn't it?
Hud Bannon: Ain't they all?
Hud Bannon: You don't look out for yourself, the only helping hand you'll ever get is when they lower the box.
Lonnie Bannon: I wouldn't mind driving her the long way home.
Hud Bannon: You ought to take a crack at that. Get all the good you can out of seventeen 'cause it sure wears out in one hell of a hurry.
Lonnie Bannon: Probably you think I'm a jerk.
Hud Bannon: You don't care what I think.
Lonnie Bannon: This probably gonna hand you a big laugh, but I do.
Hud Bannon: You have another little drink and I'll have another little drink. Then maybe we can work up some real family feeling here.
Homer Bannon: Hud, how'd a man like you come to be a son to me?
Hud Bannon: You're half native already. I've never seen you in a pair of shoes since you have work here.
Alma Brown: I wore'em once. I think to get married in. White satin pumps. I don't have'em anymore or the man either.
Hud Bannon: I'll do anything to make you trade him.
Alma Brown: No thanks. I've done my time with one cold-blooded bastard, I'm not looking for another.
Hud Bannon: Too late, honey, you already found him.
Hud Bannon: The only question I ever ask any woman is "What time is your husband coming home?"
Alma Brown: I go in for those prize contests. "How Shinette shampoo changed my life" in 20 words or less. They give free trips to Europe but I end up with the fountain pens and the Japanese binoculars.
Hud Bannon: They're letting ladies in free tonight Alma, you just might qualify.
