Quotes 

• Putter : Is that a boy or a girl?

  Lloyd : Girl, Joan of Arc. She dressed up as a man and led the French in fighting the English. She heard voices, 'stop being a peasant', 'France needs you', 'the truth needs you'. And she won, she beat the English, but then...

  Putter : Then what?

  Lloyd : The French, burnt her, alive!

• Ophelia : You're supposed to be taking your medication! Your father says please give him his pills!

  Lloyd : I haven't had a pill since we left the house, haven't wheezed once.

• Ophelia : [Billie Jean steps out with her hair cut]  Oh my God! Billie Jean, you look...

  Binx : Famous!

  Lloyd : Saint Joan.

• Billie Jean : Everything's just crazy now.

  Lloyd : Sure it is. That's why you gotta be crazier than they are.

• Billie Jean : Lloyd, do you make videos?

  Lloyd : All the time.

  Billie Jean : What about copies?

  Lloyd : I can make as many as you want... You are absolutely right!

  Ophelia : What's she talking about?

  Lloyd : She's gonna answer their call!

• Lloyd : I'm done being your hostage.

  Billie Jean : Fine, I'll see you in jail!

• Lloyd : Tapes are not going to be enough.

  Billie Jean : What do you mean?

  Lloyd : I mean they don't have to give you the money, they'll just hunt you down and catch you. Cops don't have to bargain with you, you don't have anything they want. Unless you offer them a trade.

  [starts tying himself up] 

  Ophelia : Whatever is that boy doing?

  Putter : It's a trick, I saw it on TV.

  Billie Jean : What kind of trade?

  Lloyd : I'm going to be your hostage, then they have to reason with you. I'm your guarantee.

  Putter : Like when you buy a car.

  Ophelia : That's a warranty.

• Binx : [about Lloyd's pills]  What are those, uppers or downers?

  Lloyd : They're for asthma, you want one?

• Billie Jean : You ever been to Vermont?

  Lloyd : Sure, on ski trips.

  Billie Jean : Maybe we should go there tonight, all of us, hitchhike.

  Lloyd : You can't do that, not now, everybody knows you, they want to see you get the money.

  Billie Jean : They want to see us dead, remember Joan of Arc?
