Twister

1996

Dusty: "The Suck Zone". It's the point basically when the twister... sucks you up. That's not the technical term for it, obviously.

(Spotting a tornado) Beltzer: That's no moon, that's a space station!

Rabbit: Uh... yeah, trust me. Rabbit is good, Rabbit is wise.

(about Bill's new fiancee) Bill: She's a... a therapist. Jo: Oh... Yours? Bill: Christ, you couldn't resist, could you? Jo: What? I'm not saying you *need* therapy. Bill: What? Wait, wait, wait, I need therapy? Jo: I didn't say that. I didn't *say* that. Bill: What could I possibly need a therapist for? Huh? You're the doctor, tell me! Jo: I don't know... inability to finish things? Bill: "Inability to finish things"? Jo: Maybe rushing into things you can't quite commit to. Bill: Commitment? Jo: You asked!

Jo: Can I drive? Bill: No! Jo: Then would you? Bill: (noticing truck has drifted off the road and is about to run into a parked vehicle) Whoa!

Dusty: Red meat, we crave sustenance!

(Bill needs Jo's signature on divorce papers) Jo: So you want the papers? Bill: I did drive all the way out here for 'em. Jo: They're signed and ready. Bill: Good, good. Let's see 'em. Jo: Do you need them right this second? Bill: Well, it'd be nice. Jo: What's the urgent urgency? You act like you're getting married. Bill: I am. Jo: (after a shocked pause) Wow. Bill: Yeah. Jo: Is it Melinda? Bill: Melissa. Jo: Wasn't there a Melinda in there somewhere? Bill: No, there's only been Melissa since you. Jo: Boy, not much for browsing are you?

(talking to a psychiatric patient on the phone) Melissa: She didn't marry your penis... Okay, she didn't only marry your penis.

(Crying with fright after a pair of tornadoes spun their truck around a few times) Melissa: When you used to tell me that you chase tornadoes, deep down I thought it was just a metaphor.

(after spotting Jonas being interviewed by a reporter on TV) Jo: He really is in love with himself. I thought it was just a summer thing.

Jo: Where's my truck... ? (the truck crashes back to earth, right in the middle of the road, in front of the truck Melissa is driving) There it is.

Aunt Meg: He didn't keep his part of the bargain. Jo: Which part? Aunt Meg: To spend his life pining for you, and to die miserable and alone.

Jo: Cow. (pause) 'Nother cow. Bill: Actually I think that was the same one.

Bill: Look at what's right in front of you. Jo: What? Bill: Me, Jo.

Melissa: I gotta go Julia, we got cows.

Bill: Why can't we spend a normal day together?

Dusty: Ha Ha! It's the wonders of nature, baby!

Jo: She's nice. Bill: Ha! Jo: Uh oh. She's not nice?

Dusty: The extreme! IT'S THE EXTREME! Bill: Oh, man. Don't start that shit.

Beltzer: Hey, you guys want to wrap this up? Bill: What? Beltzer: Oh, nothing. I was just wondering if you wanted to chase this tornado, or if you guys just wanted to catch the next one. Bill: Shit!

Jo: Have you lost your nerve? Bill: Tighten your seatbelt.

Rabbit: God, Meg, you've got a lot of beef. Where did you get all this beef? Meg Greene: Did you see my cows out front? Rabbit: No. Meg Greene: Oh! Dusty: You slaughter your own cows, Meg, nice.

Dusty: Meg's gravy is famous. It's practically a food group.

(to a terrified Melissa) Dusty: Did you just miss that truck? That's awesome! That's AWESOME!

Jo: You've never seen it miss this house, and miss that house and then come after you!

Dusty: Bill, it's coming! It's headed right for us! Bill: It's already here!

Dusty: He's gonna rue the day he came up against The Extreme, baby. Bill, I'm talkin' imminent rueage.

(Aunt Meg is being loaded into an ambulance) Jo: Is she OK? Paramedic: We'll probably keep her overnight just to be safe. Aunt Meg: Overnight, forget it, I'm all right. Jo: You're going to the hospital. Aunt Meg: OK, I'll go, but I'm gonna drive myself. Rabbit: Honey, your car is in a tree around the corner. Aunt Meg: OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Jo: Debris! We got debris!

(Jonas is watching the doppler) Dr Jonas Miller: Looking good. Looking real good. Okay, about 4 miles down hang a right, deploy and we'll be done. Eddie: Uh, Dr Miller? (Jonas looks up in time to see the twister change direction) Dr Jonas Miller: Shit... shit! It's moving away! God! Eddie: Looks like they're going to intercept. (Jonas spots Bill's team moving in) Dr Jonas Miller: (Over radio) Dammit, Tony, I thought you said this thing was gonna stay on the same heading!

(Watching Meg and Bill approaching a tornado on a video camera) Dusty: They're in the bear cage!

(Seeing Jonas's team arriving after the first tornado wrecks Jo's truck) Rabbit: Hey, the auto club's here.

(Jo is salvaging belongings from her crashed truck and looking at Bill's new truck) Jo: You got full insurance on that truck? Bill: Liability only. Jo: (thoughtfully) Liability only... Jo: It's a very nice truck. Melissa: (smiling) Thank you. Bill: Don't even think about it. (Jo keeps cleaning out her truck) Bill: No way.

(Jo and Bill are trying to hide from the F5 in a barn but see it's full of sharp metal farming implements) Jo: My god, who are these people? Bill: I don't think so!

(Bill and Jo are in the shed hiding from the F5 tornado and bill sees water pipes coming out of the floor) Bill: Here! These pipes go down at least thirty feet, if we anchor to them we might have a chance!

Aunt Meg: (Meg's house has been hit by the tornado. Her dog is still inside) Bill! Can you get Mose for me? I think he's a little shaken up.

Melissa: Uh... it was nice meeting you. Aunt Meg: Likewise. You better run.

Dusty: Fashionably late again, Jonas. Fashionably late again. Gimme kiss baby! (kisses Eddies cheek) Eddie: Get outta here! Dusty: (laughing) Losers move on!

Dusty: Jo's gonna flip when she sees he's back! Bill: I'm not back!

Melissa: Is there an F 5? What would that be like? Jason 'Preacher' Rowe: The finger of god

Jo: Guys, we are NOT invading my aunt!
