Quotes
-
Harry : You must resign yourself to being extraordinary.
-
Harry : [to Neal] You have no right acclaim to their fences and their grass. You're special cat. You are the big cat, destined to wander forever, spreading your... 'sunshine' onto the lives of those of us with less.
-
Harry : Give me your shoe! I want to kiss the ground you walk on!
-
Harry : Sometimes a little distraction's ... a good thing.
-
Harry : [to Neal] Come on, it's Christmas time. Have a drink with your pathetic lonely loser piece of crap friend for christ sakes.
-
Neal Cassady : She still thinks you're a creep, man.
Harry : It doesn't matter, it doesn't even matter one bit. Sure, she's got good taste. I am a creep. Hell, you know that, I know that, it's good that she knows that. Get things out in the open, start with honesty, that's what my old man said before he took off.
-
Harry : Cherry Mary's liable to strut through that door and blow your happily ever after all to hell before you even get a taste of it. You want it, don't you?
Neal Cassady : What?
Harry : The wild stuff. You talk a good game about the picket fences and the honey at home, but when the seven deadly sins start lining up at your door step and you see that little lady lust all dressed in black.
Neal Cassady : What're you? The devil?
Harry : It's in your eyes, brother. It's in your soul. You are meant to roam the plains live off the fat of the land. Or the lamb. This other crap. It's just dreamin'.
Neal Cassady : Screw you, man.
Harry : I'm just lookin' and reportin' what I see.
-
Neal Cassady : Do you make this up as you go?
Harry : It's a rule, Neal.
Neal Cassady : There'll be no anarchy on this felt.
-
Harry : I think we need some road under us.
-
Harry : Is that not what we needed? Movement! The only thing that keeps us on this Earth! Did you know that, girls? They ever teach you that in, uh, astronomy or physics or geology? Did they teach you that the only thing that's keeping us from flying off into nowhere is spinning.
Neal Cassady : That's right, man. Spinning like tops. We're spun out! We have absolutely nothing to worry about. Yeah! The time is now, and now is all we have.
-
Harry : You have re-found your lost love. And will soon be starting a job, a day job. Thus, uh, living your dream life that you've been waxing on about.
Neal Cassady : Woody wagon, two-car garage... the whole deal.
Harry : Holy shit.
Neal Cassady : Yeah.
Harry : This is good. This is great. This is harmonious. Coincidental. Symbiotic. Freaky.
-
Neal Cassady : It's a metaphor, man. I was just saying every man, every woman, for that matter wants a person to love, who loves them and a roof over their head when it rains.
Harry : Of course, but what does that have to do with the fenced in, happily ever after. Look, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I know you, Cassady couldn't live that. That'd be death for you. You'd atrophy and die.
