How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Bonnie and Clyde.
Quote #1
CLYDE: You're worth more than that [being just a pick-up for men]. You're worth a lot more than that. And that's why you come along with me…. You're like me. You want different things. You want something better than being a waitress.
Clyde says this to Bonnie just after she's thrown herself at him and he hasn't responded in kind. His argument to her, at least in the first part of the story, is that the two of them are deserving of special things in life, things they can buy with the money they get when they rob banks.
Quote #2
CLYDE: You listen to me, Miss Bonnie Parker, you listen to me. How would you like to walk into the dining room of the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas wearing a nice silk dress and have everybody waitin' on you…? That ain't enough for you. You got a right to that.
BONNIE: Hey, when did you figure all that up?
CLYDE: The minute I saw you.
BONNIE: Why?
CLYDE: Cause you may be the best damn girl in Texas.
Here, Clyde takes his initial idea further, describing the kind of experience he and Bonnie can have if they just had enough money. He obviously feels that he's worthy of having this experience. And he admits that, as soon as he saw the smart, beautiful Bonnie, he thought she was worthy as well.
Quote #3
BANK TELLER: What money, mister? There ain't no money here.
Clyde hears this from a bank teller on the first bank job he and Bonnie attempt together. He has assumed, of course, that, even during the Great Depression, all banks are filled with money. But, at least in this case, he's very wrong. This is one of many instances in the film where his assumptions do not mesh with reality.
