McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971)

Shelley Duvall: Ida Coyle

Quotes 

• Constance Miller : See, the thing is, it don't mean nothing. You never know, you might even get to like it. I mean, you managed it with Bart, didn't you? Eh?

  Constance Miller : You really are small, aren't you. Just like me. I'll get a few pins.

  Ida : But with him I had to. It was my duty.

  Constance Miller : Turn around. It weren't your duty, lda. You did it to pay for your bed and board. And you do this to pay for your bed and board, too! Only, you get to keep a little extra for yourself and you don't have to ask nobody for nothing. Just more honest in my mind.

• Ida : Well, It just hurts so much. I guess maybe I'm - small?

  Constance Miller : No, you've just got to learn to relax, that's all.

  Constance Miller : I think that maybe this will do. Stand up, take your top off. You've got to take your mind off it, think of something else. Yeah? Look at a wall. Count the roses in the wallpaper.
