PHONE RINGS
I'LL GET IT!
I GOT IT! Hello.
You packed? We're outta here tonight.
I have to ask Darryl if I can go.
You mean you haven't asked him yet?
Thelma, for Christ's sake!
Is he your husband or your father?
It's just two days, for God's sake.
Say you're goin' with me. I'm havin' a nervous breakdown.
Darryl already thinks you're crazy.
Are you at work? 'No, the Playboy Mansion(!)' Call you right back.
Darryl?
DARRYL?
HONEY, BETTER HURRY UP!
TV ON IN BACKGROUND
Goddammit, Thelma!
Don't holler like that.
Shit!
I told you I can't stand it when you holler in the mornin'.
I'm sorry. I just didn't want you to be late. Thank you.
Hon?
What?
Uh...
have a good day at work today.
Uh-huh.
Jeez!
Thank you, no.
Hon?
What?
You want anything special for dinner?
No, Thelma. I don't give a shit what we have for dinner.
I may not make it home for dinner. You know how Fridays are.
Funny how so many people want to buy a carpet on Friday night.
You'd think they'd wanna forget about it for the weekend.
Well, then, it's a good thing you're not regional manager...and I AM.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
For Christ's sake...
Jesus!
Goddammit, Homer! I gotta get to work!
Don't need this bullshit in the morning.
For Christ's sake...
I want you outta here by five.
No, three. Get outta here by three.
SCREECH OF TYRES
PHONE RINGS Good mornin'. 'Is Louise there?'
Why, yes, she is. Is this Thelma?
When are you runnin' away with me? Not this weekend. What did he say?
What time are you pickin' me up? 'All right! Around two.'
OK. What kinda stuff do I bring?
Warm stuff, I guess. Might get cold at night. I'm bringin' everything.
I will too, then. 'Steal Darryl's fishin' stuff.' I don't know how to fish.
Darryl does it. How hard can it be?
I'll see you in a bit.
OK. All right, bye.

BEEPS CAR HORN
Hey! Hey!
We don't need the lantern. The place has electricity. OK.
I'll take it just it case. Of what?
There's a psycho killer loose
who cuts the electricity off and has to come in and kill us.
Then a lantern'll be REAL handy(!)
Maybe we should tow your car behind in case he steals the spark plugs.
We'd have to. That thing barely makes it down the driveway.
Careful. Careful. ..Everythin' in?
Yeah. There.
Here you go. Ah - be careful!
Smile.
Wooh! Wooh! See you later!
Sit down.
Oh, Louise...
will you take care of this gun? What d'you bring THAT for? Come on.
Psycho killers, bears, snakes...
I just don't know how to use it. Put it away. Put it in my purse.
Thelma, good Lord!
So whose place is this again? It's Bob's, the day manager's.
He's gettin' a divorce and his wife's gettin' this place so he's lettin' all his friends use it.
I never been out of town without Darryl.
How come Darryl let you go?
Cos I didn't ask him.
Shit, Thelma. Why, he's gonna KILL you!
Well, he'd never let me go.
Won't let me do a thing that's fun.
Wants me to hang around the house while he's out doin' God knows what.
Well, you get what you settle for.
I left him a note.
LOUISE SHRIEKS WITH LAUGHTER
I left him stuff to microwave.
# Children laugh, children cry
# They're the ones who will survive
# Will they know we've sold
# Nature's gift in return for gold?
# I don't like what I see now
# I don't like where we're goin'
# I don't like anything! #
Thelma! What?
# You and I
# We're getting older now
# You and I
# We'll show them
# If we don't show them how...
# I wanna know
# Is there any hope
for me and you? #
Thelma, what are you doin'?
Smokin'.
Hey, I'm Louise.
Can't we just stop somewhere for a minute?
We won't make the cabin till dark as it is.
Then what difference would it make if we stopped?
OK. But it'll be a quick stop. OK!
Ah!
# He said he'd pick me up at eight
# Take me into town, baby,
for a date
# I'm still waitin' here
# And it's a half past two
# And I don't wanna love you
# But I do. #
I haven't seen a place like this since I left Texas. In't this fun?
# Took me to that place With the little dance floor
# Said you'd never been in there before... #
You all want a drink? Um...no thanks.
A Wild Turkey straight up and a coke back, please. Thelma!
Is this my vacation or isn't it?
God, you're as bad as Darryl.
Sorry. I'm not used to seein' you this way. You're usually so...sedate.
I've had it up to my ass with sedate!
You said you and me was gonna
let our hair down. Well, look out,
cos my hair is comin' down.
All right. I changed my mind.
I'm gonna have a margarita
and a shot of Cuervo on the side.
All right!
# I don't wanna love you but I do. # Hey!
What're you dolls doin' in a place like this?
Well... Mindin' our own business.
Louise is mad at her boyfriend...
We just wanted something to eat.
Came to the right place. They got good chilli.
Harlan, you botherin' them? Just bein' friendly.
You're TOO friendly.
Hey, your name's Harlan?
I got a uncle named Harlan. If he's a funny uncle, then he and I got somethin' in common.
Don't mean to be rude but I gotta talk to my friend in private.
Oh, I didn't mean to bother you.
It's hard not to notice such pretty ladies.
You'd better dance with me before you leave. Sure. That'd be fun.
# I've seen girls look at you... #
That wasn't very nice. He was hittin' on you.
Oh, so what if he was?
Your years of waitin' on tables has made you jaded. Maybe.
Relax. You make me nervous. All right!
# Oo-oo-oo
# Aa-aa-oo. #
Woo-oo!
# I woke up in the motel I didn't know what to do
# I turned the TV on... # That's a good band.
Wonder if Darryl's home. Wonder if Jimmy's back.
Tell him to get lost. Ditch your no-good husband.
Huh? Huh?
This one's on Harlan.
Thanks!
Jimmy'll come in off the road,
you won't be there, he'll freak and call you a hundred times.
By Monday, he'll be kissin' the ground you walk on. Exactly.
In the meantime, you said we were gonna have some fun. All right. OK.
# If they knew what we were up to They wouldn't let us in
# Lyin' in love is like original sin... #
All right?
(All right.) Let's dance. All right.
# I woke up in the motel I didn't know what to do
# I turned the TV on
And wrote a letter to you... #
Thelma. That's your name? Thelma?
What're you doin'? You just follow me.
# Since I left California, baby Things have gotten worse
# And the land of opportunity For me is just a curse
# It's drivin' me away...
# Drive me to lookin' for a Cadillac
With Tennessee plates
# The songs they wrote us
# When she was seventeen... #
You got some great moves, honey.
# Anyway, he wouldn't care Hell, he gave 'em to his friends! #
Here we go!
# Hell, now baby
# You're lookin' so fine

Wait, Louise, I'm gonna come with you.
Ho! Round...and round.
I don't feel so good. What's wrong?

Oh, thanks.
I think I feel a little better.
You feel pretty good to me too. Hey!
You know that? I need to keep walkin'.
Where d'you think YOU'RE goin', huh?
I'm goin' back inside. No, no. Harlan! What?
Stop!
Stop it. Thelma, listen to me.
I'm not gonna hurt you, OK?
I just wanna kiss you. No. Come on.
Come on.
Damn, you are gorgeous! Let me go.
You are a gorgeous woman. I'm married. I'm married too.
I don't feel good. I been sick. Aw!
Ugh! I said I'm not gonna hurt you.
Relax. Stop it, please! I mean it!
Don't! Louise is gonna wonder where I am.
Fuck Louise. Hey!
Never fuckin' hit me! Fuckin' bitch!
Please!
You hear me? Don't hurt me, please! You shut up!
Shut the fuck up! Shut up! Please! Please don't hurt me, Harlan.
Bitch! Don't hurt me!
No! Let her go. Get the fuck outta here.
Ah!
Let her go or I'll splatter your face all over this car.
THELMA SOBS
Hey, calm down.
We were just havin' some fun. You got a fucked-up idea of fun.
Come on. Come on.
THELMA CONTINUES TO SOB
Turn around.
In the future,
when a woman's cryin' like that,
she ain't havin' any fun!
Come on.
OK? Bitch! I should've gone ahead and fucked her.
What did you say? I said, "Suck...my...cock."
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Get the car. Oh, Jesus Christ! Louise, you shot him.
Oh, my God! Get the car.
(You watch your mouth, buddy!)
SCREECH OF TYRES
Louise!
Come on!
HORNS BLARE
Watch it, you fuckin' assholes!
HORNS BLARE
Louise?
Louise, where are we goin'?
I don't know. Just shut up so I can think.
Shouldn't we, uh...go to the cops?
I think we oughtta tell the police.
Tell 'em what?
I don't know. Just tell 'em what happened. Which part?
All of it. That he was rapin' me...
People saw you dancin' with him all night.
Who's gonna believe that? Goddamn it, pull over!

THELMA WHIMPERS
Thelma?
Huh?
Thelma, I'm gonna... I'm gonna, um...
I'm gonna stop someplace for a cup of coffee just for a second
and then I'm gonna get it together and... figure out then what to do.
Everything's gonna be fine, all right? Everything's gonna be... All right? Uh-huh.
Now's not the time to panic. If we panic now, we're done for.
Nobody saw it. Nobody knows it was us.
So we're still...OK.
We just have to figure out what we're gonna do next.
Figure out...what we're gonna do.
I'll say one thing - this is some vacation.
This is real fun(!) If you weren't so concerned with having fun,
we wouldn't be here right now.
What is THAT supposed to mean? It just means shut up.
So this is all MY fault, is it?

POLICE OFFICER: Stand away from the line, please.
< It's secured until further notice.
< That's the order.
Could you identify 'em if you saw 'em again? Hell, I told you, yeah.
But those two weren't the type to pull a thing like this. Well,
what makes you so sure?
If waitin' tables don't make you an expert on human nature, nothin' will.
I knew Harlan'd end up buyin' it in the parkin' lot. Should've happened sooner. Who do you think did it?
His wife's the one I HOPE did it.
Do you have any ideas or don't you?
Well, if I had to guess,
some old gal or her husband.
Wasn't either one of those two.
The small one with the tidy hairdo left a huge tip.
Well... What? You didn't notice what kind of car they were drivin'?
It's a nightclub, not a drive-in.
I don't follow the customers out to the parkin' lot. Go on home.
You kept me here all night to ask me the same old question over and over?
Ain't you gonna offer me an itty-bitty little drink?
Behave yourself! Oh!
Neither of those two was the murderin' type, Hal.

RADIO: 'The Dow Jones has dropped today...'
We're gonna need money. Thelma, how much money d'you have on you?
What?
I'm gonna stop at the next town,
get a motel room and figure out what to do.
OK.
Wait, I'm lookin'.
61 dollars.
Shit!
41 dollars.
We'll need more money.
What're you doin'? Why are you unpackin'? You said we was just gonna take a nap.
I'm figurin' out what to do.
Well...
..when you figure it out, just wake me up.
What the hell's wrong with you? Wh...what's THAT supposed to mean?
Why're you acting like this? What?
'Scuse me for not knowing how to act when you blow somebody away(!)
You could help me try and figure out what to do, all right?
I suggested going to the police but you didn't like that. Frankly, I'm out of ideas.
Given enough time, they'll come to us.
THELMA SOBS
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm not ready to go to jail yet.
Uh, why don't you...um...
go out to the pool and take a swim?
All right? I'll figure out what to do.
Jimmy, this is Louise.
Look, I've been tryin' to call you.
'Louise? Hey, baby.'
Hey.
'Where the hell are you at? Are you all right?' I'm fine.
How're you? 'You sound kinda funny.'
I AM funny. I'm real funny.
'You in town? This sounds long distance.'
No, I'm outta town.
I'm in deep shit. Deep shit, Arkansas.
Louise, tell me what the hell's goin' on.
I come back, nobody knows where you are.
Is Thelma with you? 'Listen, Jimmy,'
I have about $6,700 in the bank.
I know you can't get it out...
but I need that money.
Can you...wire me the $6,700 and I'll pay you back?
What the fuck is goin' on here? Listen, uh...
..something real bad has happened...
..and I can't tell you what.
Just that I did it
and I can't undo it.
'Will you help me? Please?'
Yeah. Yeah, baby. Course I can.
'But why can't I bring it to you?'
SHE SOBS
Jimmy...
..do you love me?
Uh...
'Yeah.' Never mind, never mind.
'Yeah.' Look, just, uh...
..just wire it to Western Union in Oklahoma City, OK?
'THAT'S where you're at.' Not yet.
You'll need to know which office to go to. OK.
I'll call you back in an hour.

# Many miles to go before I die. #
Thelma! Ah! Shit, Thelma! What? Get in the car. OK.
# We can never know about tomorrow
# But still we have to choose Which way to go
# You and I are standing At the crossroads... #
Even if they didn't do it, they were most likely witnesses.
Put out an APB and see what we get back. All right.
Any reason to believe they've left the state? That's certainly possible.
'Hell, why don't we go ahead and let the Bureau in on this?'
Louise, don't get mad, but where're we goin'?
Oklahoma City. Jimmy'll wire me some money...
Jimmy? Did you tell him? Was he mad?
No, I didn't tell him.
Darryl's mad as a hornet and...
when you call him,
you gotta not tell him anythin' about this. Sound real normal.
I called the asshole at four in the morning. Wasn't even home.
What's he got to be mad about? I'm the one should be mad.
Thelma,
I'm goin' to Mexico. I can make it
in two and a half days
but I'm gonna have to haul ass.
Are you up to this?
I gotta know. This isn't a game.
I'm in deep shit and I gotta know what you're gonna do.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't know what you're askin'.
Don't start flakin' out on me.
Every time we get in trouble, you just get blank
or plead insanity or some shit.
Not this time. This time, things have changed. Everythin's changed.
But I'm goin' to Mexico. I'm goin'.

RINGING TONE
Louise! 'That's how you answer the phone?' I thought I'd missed you.
I-I got it. I was afraid I couldn't get a cheque cashed on Saturday.
Who did it? 'Doug Randall.' You didn't tell him what it was for?
No, I told him I was buyin' a car.
That's real good. Where do I go?
It's a place called the Vagabond Motel.
It's at 1921 North, East 23rd.
It's under...Peaches.
What?
That's the code word. I miss you, Peaches.
Thanks, Jimmy. I appreciate it.
Ma'am, wouldn't you rather have a large, economy size?
No. No, that's OK.
What're YOU lookin' at?
Hey...I want you to call Darryl.
Call him? Say you're havin' a ball. You'll be home tomorrow. Will I be?
I don't know. I won't.
Ah! The newspaper.

Thelma! Where in hell are you?
Um... I'm, uh...with Louise.
We're...in the mountains, fishin'.
Have you lost your mind? Is that it?
I leave for work and you take leave of your senses? Calm down, please.
Don't get so mad. I can explain, OK? See, Louise, uh...
Hold on.

We're gonna stay there and fish and stuff.
We'll be home tomorrow. You'll be back today.
Get your butt back here now. Goddammit!

Darryl, you're my husband, not my father.
That does it. That Louise is nothin' but a bad influence.
If you're not back here by tonight...
Thelma...
..well, then, I just don't wanna say.
Darryl?
Thelma?
Go fuck yourself!
Oh, that's good. That's just sweet.
Sorry. Shit! ..Darlin'!
Are you all right? Yeah. Did I cause that? No. You're OK? Uh-huh.
Is there somethin' I can do for you? No. It's OK. Mm?
Crazy!
GUY MESSES WITH HARMONICA
'Scuse me, ma'am. Can I ask where you're headin'?
I'm tryin' to get back to school
and I'm kinda stuck here. So I was thinkin' if you're goin' my way
or... I think we're goin' to Oklahoma City.
Perfect. But I'm not sure. I'd appreciate it much.
Uh...it's really not up to me. It's not my car.
Um...we'd have to ask my friend
but she'd probably say no. She's a little bit uptight.
Maybe it's not a good idea. Thank you.
I mean, I CAN ask. Wouldn't hurt. Well, no. Wouldn't hurt.
Hi. Here she comes. Louise...
this young man's on his way back to school
and since we're goin' in the same direction, we could give him a ride.
It's probably not a good idea.
Louise! No, probably not.
Y'all have a good day. Drive safe.
Louise!
Did you see how polite he is? He's real sweet. Thelma...
What?
SQUEAL OF TYRES
Good luck.
CAR HORNS BLARE
Fill her up. Sure wish we could've brought him with us.
What did Darryl have to say?
"OK, Thelma. I just wanted to make sure YOU was all right.
"I hope you're havin' fun. You deserve it for puttin' up with me. I love you."
So...how long before we're in goddamn Mexico?
I just didn't think it would hurt to give somebody a ride.
Did you see his butt?
Darryl don't have a cute butt.
You could park a car in the shadow of HIS ass.
I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood for company right now.
Take this map. Find all the secondary roads to Mexico from Oklahoma City.
I think we should stay off the interstate.
TRAIN WHISTLE
We can get on this road and head for Dallas...
No, I don't wanna go through Texas.
Wait -
you wanna go to Mexico from Oklahoma but you don't wanna go through Texas?!
Thelma, you know how I feel about Texas.
We're runnin' for our lives. Can't you make an exception?
Look at this map. The only thing between Oklahoma and Mexico is Texas.
Either find another way or give me
the goddamn map and I WILL!
Understand? No, I don't. You never told me what happened to you there.
You shoot off a guy's hat with his pants down,
Texas is NOT the place you wanna get caught. Trust me.
I won't talk about this any more.

DINER GOES QUIET
APPEALING WHINE
All right. All right, Thelma, all right.
OK.
The other night, a man was murdered at the Silver Bullet. He was shot.
And we have some witnesses that saw a 1966 T-bird convertible
leavin' the scene. Sort of speedin' away.
That vehicle is registered to Louise Sawyer
and we have reason to believe that your wife was the other occupant of that car.
What?
WHAT?
WHAT? Excuse me,
you're standin' in your pizza.
SQUELCH!
Oh, shit!
Miss Thelma, why ain't you got kids?
God gives you somethin' special,
you oughtta pass it on.
Darryl - that's my husband... Darryl? Yeah.
He says he's not ready.
Too much of a kid himself.
Prides himself on bein' infantile.
He's got a lot to be proud of. Louise thinks he's a pig.
I KNOW he's a pig! Did you get married real young?
Well, I guess 18's kinda young
but...
TRUCK HORN BLARES
..we'd been goin' out four years when we got married. How long?
Four years. I never been with anybody but Darryl. Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, if you don't mind me sayin' so, he sounds like a real asshole.
It's OK.
He IS an asshole. I just let it slide.
You better slow down, Miss Louise. That's a cop up ahead. (Oh, shit!)
You got too many parkin' tickets?
We'll take you to Oklahoma City then you'd best be on your way. OK.
Prints on the trunk of the car match Thelma Dickinson's. Strange!
Her husband says a gun is missing.
She took a lot of stuff. Looks like she planned' bein' gone a while.
Strange thing is, her husband says she'd never touch that gun.
He got it for her cos he's out late a lot
but he said she'd never touch it.
Couldn't shoot it. Just kept it in a drawer.
What gun was it? 38. Where are they?
They were goin' to a cabin and never showed up.
RUMBLE OF THUNDER
All right, listen up, you two.
I'm gonna go in and you two better say your goodbyes. Understand? Huh?
OK.
Hi. Hi. I'm here to pick up a money order for Louise Sawyer.
There's nothing.
Could you try a codeword - Peaches?
Did I hear somebody say Peaches? God! Jimmy.
That's the secret word. Show the lady what she's won.
What are you doin' here? I just came to see YOU, baby.
Can I have another room, please? Put it on my, uh...credit card.
Thelma, get your foot down.
Look who's here. Oh, shit!
Hi, stranger. What're you doin' here?
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies. Good answer. Same goes double for me.
Who's the cowboy? This here's J.D. He's...
He's gone. We're just givin' him a ride.
Louise said he'd have to go... That's what I'm doin'. He's gone.
Have a good trip. OK. Thank you.
Yup, that's him goin'.
I love watchin' him go. Thelma kinda took to him.
< I got you a room, Thelma. You can take a nice, cold shower.
You know me, Jimmy - a wild woman!
That's our future.
What're you gonna tell him?
Nothin'. I'm not gonna tell him a thing.
I can't make him more
of an accessory than he already is.
You are so sweet to him. Imagine not wantin' to drag him into this.
I didn't ask him to come. He just loves a chase, is all.
He's sure got his work cut out for him now. Thelma, put a lid on it!
Now...
I want you to just... You guard that money. OK.
If there's any problem, call me in room 211.
OK.
I won't wait up.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Want a drink? No.
Why not tell me what's goin' on?
I'm not gonna tell you what's goin on.
Someday soon you'll understand why I can't.
Can I ask you one thing? Maybe.
Are you in love with somebody else? Something to do with another man?
No, it's not anything like that.
Then what is it? Are you just gonna leave for fuckin' ever?
Huh? D'you fuckin' kill somebody(?)
Start this shit and I'm outta here.
I'm sorry.
Sit down. I wanna give you something. I'm fine right here.
I wanna give you something. Give it to me here.
Here.
Why don't you try it on?
You didn't see THAT one coming, did you? Why, Jimmy?
Why now? ..Try not to get too excited, Louise(!)
I just flew across two states with that ring in my fuckin' hand
and, uh...you know I hate to fly.
You came all this way because you thought I was with somebody else.
No, that's not why I came.
I don't wanna lose you and I get the feeling you're gonna split -
permanently. That's not a good reason to get married.
I thought that's what you wanted.
I did.
But not like this.

Louise?
No, Thelma, it's me. ..Surprise!
I was out there thinkin', "I know I'm supposed to be gone an' all but...
"you know."
I'm not havin' turd's luck gettin' a ride out in this rain.
I was just thinkin' about you...
Oh, this...this is crazy.
I'm gonna get out of your hair, OK?
Well...wait. Wait.
Where're you goin'?
Uh, I dunno.
You know - nowhere.
You think I'm happy? You ain't the only one with dreams that don't work out.
We get what we settle for. You don't love me any more.
Oh, I DO love you.
But I think it's time to just...
..let go of the old mistakes.
Just chalk it up to...
..bad timin'.
I think it's time to let go.
No. I can't...
Oh. Oh. ..C'mon. Aw, you're too...
C'mon. All right.
Here we go. C'mon.
Well, don't... Just leave it there.
All right, all right. C'mon.
Ow! God, what you...?
This is unfair advantage. You got too much metal goin' here.
Wanna lighten the load a little bit?
There.
I think that's better. What do you think? Yeah. Yeah.
Ugh!
Take me, break me, make me mad! Watch your head. My head's fine.
Who are you, anyway? Uh...
I'm the great and powerful Oz. Who do YOU wanna be? Tell me.
I know you're not just some
schoolboy. Tell me. Just some guy.
Whose parole officer's havin' a fit right now.
What? Parole officer? Are you a criminal?
No. No, not no more, Thelma.
Besides bustin' parole, I haven't done a thing.
What did you do?
I'm a robber. You're a bank robber? Nope. No.
I don't rob no banks. C'mon.
What d'you rob?
Well, let's see.
Since I ended up here,
I robbed a gas station, a couple of convenience stores, liquor stores.
Oh, my God!
How?
OK. First you pick your place.
Then I watch it for a little while,
waitin' for that right moment to make my move. You gotta know - that shit cannot be taught.
Then, uh...I don't wanna talk about this.
C'mon.
All right.
Then I...waltz right on in.
I just kinda waltz on in and I say,
"Ladies, gentlemen, let's see who wins a prize for keepin' their cool. Everybody down on the floor.
"Nobody loses their head, then nobody loses their head. You, sir.
"Take that cash and put it in that bag and you got some story to tell your friends.
"If not, you got a tag on your toe."
Simple as that. Then I just slip on out...
..and, uh...get the hell out of Dodge.
Yeah.
My goodness. You're sure gentlemanly about it.
I believe that done properly, armed robbery doesn't have to be a totally unpleasant experience.
What? You're a real, live outlaw, aren't you?
I may be an outlaw, darlin', but you're the one stealin' my heart.
Oh, smooth! Oh! Oh! Oh, you're smooth!
Isn't he? I guess you're right. How d'you get that way? Mm?
You remember when we first met?
Yeah.
Tell me what you said. I said you had a nice pair of eyes.
And what did I say? D'you remember?
You shut 'em. Asked me if I knew what colour they were.
And what did you say?
I didn't know.
Jimmy, what colour are my eyes?
They're brown.
(Wait. ..Wait.)
Uh!
CLATTER OF CROCKERY
Uh! Uh! Oh!
Y'all want some more coffee?
Thank you.
I don't know what's goin' on with you or what happened or what y'all did
but I'm not gonna tell anybody anything and I'm not gonna say that I saw you.
OK?
Did you take some kinda pill makes you say all the right stuff?
Yeah. I'm chokin' on it.
You don't want me to go with you?
I think it's probably not a real good idea right now
but I'll, uh...catch up with you later. On down the road.
Well...
my taxi's here.
So, uh... why don't you just keep that?
OK? ..Thanks.
I just want you to be happy.
I AM happy, sweetie. Happy as I can be.
All right.
Why don't you give old Jimmy a kiss goodbye?
And, uh...I'll be gettin' outta here.
C'mere, "old Jimmy".
# ..For the truth in your heart
# Is never, never, never far away Oh, baby
# I wanna tell you something
# And I'd walk for a thousand miles
# To the edge of every sea
# And I'd try - oh, yes, I'd try
# I can't untie you. #
I'll be seein' you, Louise. Mm-hmm.
# I lo-o-ove you! #
You have a safe trip.
It's a good thing he left when he did.
We thought we were gonna have to put out a fire!
WAITRESS GIGGLES
Hi-i.
What happened to your hair? Nothin'. Got messed up.
Thelma, what's wrong with you? Nothin'. Why? Do I seem different?
Now you mention it, you seem like you're crazy or you're on drugs.
Well, I'm not on drugs
but I might be CRAZY!
Thelma, what happened?
What happened? J.D. came back. Oh, God!
Oh, no. I just can't believe it. No!
Oh, my God, it's like...
I finally understand what the fuss is about. It's another ball game.
Oh, darlin', I'm so happy for you.
That's great.
You finally got laid properly. That's so sweet.
Where is he now? He's takin' a shower.
You left him alone in the room?
Where's the money? Oh, my God, Thelma, where's the money? It's on the bed table. It's OK!
It's on the night stand. It's OK!
Oh!
Oh, goddammit! I've never been lucky, not one time!
Shit!
That son of a bitch burgled me. I don't believe it!
I don't BELIEVE it!
Louise...
..you OK?
Louise...
(I'm sorry - I mean it.)
Louise, it's OK.
It's OK.
No, Thelma, it's not OK.
It's definitely not OK.
None of this is OK!
I mean, what are we gonna do for money? Huh?
How are we gonna get gas?
Trade on our good looks?!
I mean...
Oh, God, Thelma, it's not OK.
LOUISE SOBS
Louise,
you listen to me. Don't you worry about it.
You hear me?
C'mon. Stand up!
Louise, just don't you worry about it. You hear?
C'mon.
Come on, dammit!
Get your stuff and let's get outta here. Move!
Jesus Christ! C'mon. C'mon!
Oh, take your bags - God!
C'mon. Here we go.

DARRYL: Well, c'mon in. Wipe your feet.
We've tapped your phone, in case she calls in.
Will that cost me?
< Excuse me. May I?
That's what it's there for.
We'll have someone here at the house on the phones till we find them.
Don't let on that you know anything.
We wanna know where they are. Yeah.
Do you have a good relationship with your wife?
I...I love Thelma.
I don't intend anything by that, sir. Just a question I have to ask.
Are you close with her? Yeah. I guess.
I mean, I'm about as close as I can be to a nutcase like that.
Yeah, well, if she calls,
just...be gentle. You know, like you're really happy to hear from her.
You really miss her. Women love that shit.
OK, if you say so.
"Women love that shit."
Sorry... >
Oh, cool. Want one of these?
Want anything? ..Here.
DRIVE, LOUISE! DRIVE! DRIVE THE CAR!
Come on!
GO! GO! Go, go, go, go, go, go!
What happened? Did you rob the store?
Did you rob the goddamn store?! Well, we needed the money. It's not like I killed anybody. Thelma!
We needed money. Now we have it. Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Shit, Thelma!
Louise, get a grip. Drive us to goddamn Mexico.
OK. Oh, shit!
Oh, shit! Well, why...? How d'you...? I mean, what did you say?
I just waltzed in there and said...
'It's a robbery. If nobody loses their head, nobody loses their head.
'Simon says lay down on the floor.
'Let's see who'll win a prize for keepin' their cool.
'Sir, take the cash outta that drawer and put it in a paper bag.
'You'll have some story to tell all your friends.
'All right, hurry up. Let's go.
'Ma'am, would you be quiet? Sir, stay there.
'Just get real comfortable.
'Hey, throw in some bottles of Wild Turkey too, will you? Yes, ma'am.
'Thank you. You get down too.
'Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your co-operation. Have a good day.'
Jesus Christ!
Good God!
My Lord!
# I'm fadin' out of sight
# My wheels are leavin' the sand
# Runnin' at the speed of light... #
Hey, Louise, better slow down. I'd just die if we got caught over a speedin' ticket.
For the first time in my life, I wish this car wasn't green.
Should we drive like this? In broad daylight? No.
But I wanna put some distance between us and the scene of our LAST GODDAMN CRIME! WAH!
Man! You wouldn't have believed it.
It was like I'd been doin' it all my life.
Think you've found your callin'? Maybe.
The call of the wild! WOO-OOH! A-A-A-A-AH!
You are disturbed! Yeah.
I believe I am. Woo-ooh!
Thelma - don't you litter.
Oh, shoot. This always happens when you're in a hurry.
Damn! ..You gonna stay drunk all day?
Try to. Oh!
Oh, isn't that nice? Truck drivers are always so nice.
Oh, Lord!
How original(!)
BLASTS HIS HORN
Thank you.
Oh, man! That's disgustin'! He's a fuckin' pig!
What did he go and do that for? They think we like it.
HORN BLASTS
Or it turns us on. Shut up!
James Lennox?
Who wants to know?
Arkansas State Police.
Hi.
Thelma!
BUZZING OF AN INSECT What?
I want you to call Darryl. What for?
I want you to... Huh?
I want you to find out if he knows anything and if he does, hang up
cos that means the police have told him and the phone'll be tapped. Tap the phone?! What?!
Murder one and armed robbery? Murder one? Uh-huh.
We can't say it was self-defence? It wasn't. They don't know that.
I'll say he raped me and you had to shoot him.
Won't work. Why not? Cos there's no physical evidence.
We can't prove that he touched you.
God!
The law is some tricky shit, isn't it?
How do you know about all this stuff, anyway?
What about the robbery? There's no such thing as justifiable robbery.
Drive, Louise, will ya? Where'd you get this? Stole it.
Hi.
HI! ..Huh?
Who's the nut? Mrs Dickinson's husband.
Well, shit twice in the Grand Canyon! God!
Where did you get $6,600 in cash?
Uh, a friend.
A gentleman told us he delivered that amount to Louise Sawyer. You know her?
Uh...yessir. Yeah, I believe she was the woman drivin' the car.
You said he took it to a motel in Oklahoma City. And he met a man there.
He identified you from mug shots.
He also told us that you and Mrs Dickinson seemed "close".
Is that true? Well, sir...
you might say we had a meetin' of the minds. Yeah.
You know these women are wanted in connection with a murder?
Murder? What, Thelma?! Damn!
Did they ever indicate that they might be on the run? You know, sir,
they did seem a little bit jumpy.
You know what? What?
You're irritatin' me. Yeah, me too.
You two boys have a lot in common.
Maybe I should just step out the room.
I got a better idea.
Do you mind if I speak to him alone for a minute? OK.
A-ah...
What? What did I do? Nothin', that's what.
This is a crock of shit, Mr Johnny fuckin' Law.
I got a feelin' about something... Yeah? I just wanna ask your opinion.
Do you think Thelma Dickinson would have committed armed robbery if you hadn't taken all their money?
Get your foot off that table.
Cat got your tongue? No. I... Well, how do you know I took it?
How...?
Don't you fuckin' lie to me!
Two girls out there HAD a chance. Now you've screwed it up for them.
No. Now they're in serious trouble.
I'll hold you partly responsible if anything happens to them. I got no feelin' for you.
Either tell me everything you know
so I've a chance to do them some good
or I'll be all over you like a fly on shit all your life.
Your misery will be my mission in life! Yeah, sure.
OK? Yeah. Sure.
We understand each other? Yeah. OK.
Mr Dickinson? Yeah?
Would you just hang on? I want a word with you. I like your wife.
Come back here!
Hey!
Come back here!
You little shit! I wanna... C'mere! All right. C'mere!
C'mere. C'mon. >
I'll kill him! I'll kill you!
What will it be, ladies? Fill her up. There you go.
Um...
'scuse me, do you have a phone?
Thank you. Thelma, if you think he knows, even if you're not sure,
I want you to hang up. You understand? Yeah.

How d'you...?
Hello, Miss...Miss, uh, Sawyer?
I'm Investigator Hal Slocombe, Arkansas State Police. How ARE you?
Well, I've been better.
'Be careful with that gun.' Yes, I know.
'You girls are in some hot water. Neither one of you hurt?' We're both fine.
'You wanna tell me what happened?'
Sure. Over coffee sometime. I'll buy.
Neither of you is charged with murder yet.
You're just wanted for questionin'.
Though Mrs Dickinson's wanted in Oklahoma for armed robbery.
No kiddin'? We gotta go. I'll call you back.
I don't think you're gonna make it to Mexico.
'I want to help you...' Shit!
That J.D. kid is a little shit.
What?
Thelma, how did they know we're goin' to Mexico? How'd they know?
You told that thievin' little shit where we were goin'? Oh...
I just... Huh? I just told him,
if he ever got to Mexico,
he should look us up. OH! But I...
I asked him not to tell, I mean...
I thought he wouldn't tell anybody. Why? I didn't think he'd tell. Why?
What's HE got to lose, except my life savings? Oh, shit!
Look, I'm sorry. I mean, I... Oh, goddammit, Thelma!
Up until now, nobody knew where we were or where we were goin'.
Now one of the things we had goin' for us is gone!
Look, Thelma, you gotta stop talkin' to people. You gotta stop bein' so open.
We're fugitives now. Right?
Let's behave like that. You're right.
Thank you. OK.

MUSIC: "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" by Marianne Faithful
# The morning sun touched lightly on
# The eyes of Lucy Jordan
# In a white, suburban bedroom
# In a white, suburban town
# As she lay there 'neath the covers
# Dreamin' of a thousand lovers
# Till the world turned to orange
# And the room went spinnin' round
# At the age of 37
# She realised she'd never ride
# Through Paris in a sports car
# With the warm wind in her hair
# So she let the phone keep ringin'
# And she sat there, softly singin'
# The nursery rhymes she'd memorised
# In her daddy's easy chair
# At the age of 37
# She knew she'd found forever
# As she rode along through Paris
# With the warm wind
in her hair... #

Just, uh...the look on his face when you... What?
He...he sure wasn't expectin' THAT.
"Suck my dick!" Pow!
Thelma, it's not funny.
I know.
It happened to you, didn't it?
What? What are you talkin' about?
In Texas. I mean, that's what... that's what happened, isn't it?
You was raped.
Now look, I'm warnin' you.
Just drop it. I'm not gonna talk about that. You understand?
Yes. I won't talk about it. OK. Understand? Yes.
OK, Louise.
It's OK.
POLICE SIREN WAILS
Thelma, we're gettin' pulled over.
Shit! Shit!
What shall we do? I don't know!
We'll play it by ear. Maybe he's just gonna give me a ticket. Ah!
Please, God, don't let us get caught. I'm just gonna pull over.

Hello, Officer. Is there a problem?
You wanna let me see your licence? Right.
Here it is.
Take it out of your wallet, please. Oh, right.
Officer, I told her to slow down. She did. How fast was I goin'?
About 110. Oh. Get out the car, please.
Sure.
Come with me, please. Yes, sir.
This your vehicle? Yes, sir, that is.
Wanna get in the car, please?
Yes, sir. Um...
front or the back?
Front.
You wanna take off your eyewear, please? Yes, sir.
Am I in trouble, Officer? As far as I'm concerned, a lot of trouble.
Hello, this is 9-8...
Get in your car again, please.
Officer, I am so sorry about this,
but would you let go of that?
I do apologise but would you put your hands on the steering wheel?
If you get on that radio,
you'll find out we're wanted
and considered armed and dangerous
and then our plan's just gonna be all shot to hell. Louise,
take his gun.
Take his gun, Louise. Right. I'm real sorry. Excuse me.
Step out of the car, please.
Three days ago, we'd never pull a stunt like this
but if you met my husband, you'd understand.
Put your hands on your head, please.
Louise? What? Shoot the radio. OK.
The POLICE radio, Louise. Sorry.
Got it. Step to the back of the car.
Louise, get the keys. OK.
GUNSHOTS
Thelma, what happened? Wha...? Air holes. Open the trunk.
Oh.
Shit, Thelma. Who'd have thought of it? Step into the trunk, please.
POLICE OFFICER SOBS Please!
I have a wife and kids - please! You're lucky. Be sweet to 'em, specially your wife.
My husband wasn't sweet to me - look how I turned out. Get in.
Oh, wait a second. 'Scuse me.
Officer, could I have your belt, please?
Extra ammo. Good idea. And could I trade glasses with you, maybe?
Thanks.
OK. OK? That it? Uh-huh.
OK.
I'm real sorry. I apologise also.
Go!
You ready? Hit it.
I know it's crazy - I just feel like I've got a knack for this shit.
I believe you do.
Drive like hell.
I can't figure whether these girls are real smart or real, real lucky.
Don't matter. Brains will only get you so far. Luck always runs out.
Louise, are we still goin' to Mexico? Yes.
Then aren't we goin' in the wrong direction?
You take a state policeman, shoot up his car, lock him in the trunk - you get outta the state. I hear ya.
Hup! Hey! Whoa! Whoa!
Don't ding my car!
I think I fucked up.
We're in a situation where we can get killed.
Why didn't I go to the police? You know why. You already said.
What did I say again? Nobody'd believe us.
We'd still get in trouble, have our lives ruined. Know what else?
What? That guy was hurtin' me. He could've hurt me a lot worse.
Everybody saw me dancin' with him. They would've made out like I'd asked for it.
My life would've been a lot worse than it is now. At least now I'm havin' some fun.
I'm not sorry that son of a bitch
is dead.
Just that you did it and not me.
PHONE RINGS
'Hello?' Let me talk to Slocombe.
She wants to talk to you.
Hello, Louise.
Hey. 'How are things goin'?' Weird.
We got a snowball effect happenin'.
You're still there. Mm. 'Somewhere.'
It ain't the middle of nowhere
but we can see it from here.
I swear! Louise, I almost feel like I know you. Well, you don't.
You're gettin' in deeper. It was all an accident.
I believe you. That's what I want everybody to believe.
But it don't LOOK like an accident
and you're not here to tell me about it. I need your help here.
Did Harlan...? 'I don't wanna talk about it.' You wanna come in? 'No.'
Then we'll have to charge you with murder.
'You wanna come out of this alive?'
Words and phrases
keep driftin' through my mind.
Things like, "incarceration", "death by electrocution", "life imprisonment".
So do I wanna come out alive?
I don't know, I...
I think...we're gonna have to think about that.
Louise...
I'll do anything.
I know what's makin' you run. I know what happened to you in Texas.
THELMA CUTS LINE OFF
Come on, Louise.
Don't blow it.
We got it!
Give it to me.
Max, you gotta take me there.
No. I'm the only one she's ever...
There's nothing you can do for me now.
You know what happens - the volume gets turned way up
and these girls could get shot.
What?
Are you gonna give up on me? What d'you mean?
You gonna make a deal with that guy? I mean,
I just wanna know.
Thelma, I'm not makin' any deals.
I'd understand if you was thinkin' about it.
You got somethin' to go back for - Jimmy. Jimmy's not an option.
But, uh...
I don't know. You know, somethin's like...
crossed over in me
and...I can't go back.
I mean... I just couldn't live.
I know. I know what you mean.
We don't wanna end up on the Geraldo Show!
Yeah.
They're...chargin' us with murder.
Ooh! They say we gotta figure out if we wanna come in dead or alive.
Gosh. Didn't he say anything positive?
You awake? Guess you could call it that. My eyes are open.
Me too. ..I feel AWAKE.
Good. ..Wide awake.
I don't remember ever feelin' this awake. Know what I mean? Mm.
Everythin' looks different. You feel like that? Like you've got somethin' to look forward to?
We'll be drinkin' margaritas by the sea, Mamasita.
We can change our names. Live in a hacienda. I'm gonna work at Club Med.
What kinda deal is that cop gonna have to come up with to beat that?
It'd have to be good. Damn good.

Think they saw us?
I don't think so. Better get off, just in case.
You got your seatbelt on?
I am in pursuit. Request assistance...
Shit!
We have the suspects in sight.
Change position!
This whole thing was my fault. Dammit, this wasn't your fault!
Louise, no matter what happens, I'm glad I came with you.
Shit!
Oh, shit!
Right in the middle of the road!
Hold on!
Everything from here on will be shitty. Unbearable, I imagine.
We already lost everythin'. You're so positive(!)
Move left! Go left!
You're a good friend. You too, sweetie. The best.
How d'you like the vacation so far?
I guess I went a little crazy, huh?
You've always been crazy. You just never got to express yourself.
Good drivin'.
Thanks.
AAH! AAH!
Oh, my God! What in hell IS this?
I don't know, I think...
I think it's the goddamn Grand Canyon.
Isn't it beautiful?
Yeah. Somethin' else, all right.

Oh, my God! It looks like the army!
All this for us!
Don't let them shoot those girls. You got guns pointin' at 'em.
The women are armed, Hal. These boys know what they're doin'.
OFFICER OVER LOUD-HAILER: Place your hands in plain view.
Failure to obey will be considered an act of aggression against us.
I repeat, turn your engine off and place your hands in plain view.
What are you doin'? Not givin' up.
Do something! How many times has that woman gotta be fucked over?
Will you pull yourself together?
Don't make me sorry I brought you.
Dammit! I repeat, >
cut your engine off and place your hands in plain view.
OK, listen. Let's not get caught.
What are you talkin' about?
Let's keep goin'.
What d'you mean?
Go!
You sure?
Yeah.
Hit it!
Hey!
# I felt it when the sun came up
this morning
# I knew I could not wait
another day
# Darlin', there is something I must tell you
# Distant voices calling me away
# Until we find a bridge
across forever
# Until this grand illusion Brings us home... #
