Hallie Martin Quotes in The Electric Horseman (1979)

Hallie Martin: I've been to the rodeo. Twice.

Sonny Steele: Did you stay for the rattlesnake round up?

Hallie Martin: Yes. I stayed. Right till the end. I saw the whole thing.

Sonny Steele: They don't have one. How're you gonna round up a rattlesnake?

Hallie Martin: I'm just trying to be pleasant. You get so worked up about everything.

Sonny Steele: What have I got to be worked up about? I've only got a stole horse; everybody except the Coast Guard is after me; I've got nothin' but miles of open country to cross; and now I'm carrying a crazy woman around wearin' shoes from Bloomingbirds who thinks she's seen a rattlesnake round up.

Hallie Martin: Mr. Steele, why were you 45 minutes late to the press confrence?

Sonny Steele: Well, I'd like to aplogize for that. I was giving mouth to mouth resuscitation to a bottle of tequila. And, we lost her too.

Hallie Martin: You're all bent. Are you sick?

Sonny Steele: Nope. Just bent.

Sonny: Ever? How old are you?

Hallie Martin: Okay, I respect your position. I don't understand it, but I respect it. A lot of famous people hated publicity: Albert Schweitzer. Franco... Albert Schweitzer.

Sonny Steele: I ain't carrying it. And you can't carry it.

Hallie Martin: The hell I can't. I've carried this stuff a lot of times.

Sonny Steele: Where? Up the escalator at Bloomingtons, or Bloomingbirds or where ever the hell it is?

Hallie Martin: Bloomingdales!

Hallie Martin: They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Hallie Martin: Did we like each other?

Hallie Martin: What are you gonna do tomorrow, Sonny?
