The scream you hear may be your own!  (taglines) Dave Garver You haven't got the faintest idea of what love is, we don't even know each other. Evelyn Draper [menacing Tobie with a pair of scissors] I hope Dave likes what he sees when he gets here. Because that's what he's taking to Hell with him! Dialogue Evelyn Draper: Why didn't you take my call? Dave Garver: Where does it say that I gotta drop what I'm doing and answer the phone every time it rings? Evelyn Draper: Do you know your nostrils flare out into little wings when you're mad? It's kinda cute. Dave Garver: Hello? Sgt. McCallum: Garver! Dave Garver: Yeah. Sgt. McCallum: Sgt McCallum. Sorry to wake you but something has come up. Dave Garver: Yeah I know, she just paid me a visit with a butcher knife. Sgt. McCallum: Why? Because she was released on parole pending further legal action. Dave Garver: When? Sgt. McCallum: A week ago. Dave Garver: Well I sure like the way you broke your ass to let me know about it! Sgt. McCallum: I just found out about it myself. Dave Garver: Who's in charge down there anyway? Sgt. McCallum: Now look you wanna help find her or would you rather just sit there and belly-ache? Dave Garver: All right. Sgt. McCallum: Now exactly what did she say to you? Dave Garver: I told you, she said that she was well and that she was going to Hawaii. Sgt. McCallum: Uh what else? Dave Garver: I already told you. Sgt. McCallum: Well tell me again. Dave Garver: You know Sergeant, you really make lousy conversation! Sgt. McCallum: You make lousy coffee! Evelyn Draper: I should've known you'd never do anything to spoil it. Dave Garver: To spoil what? Evelyn Draper: What we have between us. Dave Garver: We don't have a goddam thing between us. Evelyn Draper: Don't you like me? Dave Garver: You're a nice girl. Evelyn Draper: But who needs nice girls? Dave Garver: I'm kind of hung up on one. Evelyn Draper: And you don't want to complicate your life. Dave Garver: That's exactly right. Evelyn Draper: Well neither do I, but that's no reason we shouldn't sleep together tonight if we feel like it. Dave Garver: There's a little spot in the middle of each day about your size. Tobie Williams: Well there's lots of girls about my size if you're really looking. Dave Garver: I'm not, that's what I'm trying to tell you. Tobie Williams: You mean you've given up girls? Dave Garver: Well I haven't exactly been the monk of the month or anything like that but I have been making an effort. Evelyn Draper: It was funny, I was calling you from that phone booth over there and he was telling me you'd left and I was staring at your car - isn't that funny. Dave Garver: Kind of funny. Dave Garver: Get lost! Evelyn Draper: Yeah, get lost assholes! Man: Hey! People trying to sleep here! Evelyn Draper: People trying to talk here. Man: How'd you like to tell that to the law! Evelyn Draper: HOW'D YOU LIKE TO SCREW YOURSELF?!! Taglines The scream you hear may be your own!
