• Victoria Snelling : Everyone wants to be a movie star!

  Corky : Look, lady, I like the movies and all and I see you're being serious, you know, but, that's not a real life for me, you know.

• Corky : Guys - can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em.

  [laughs] 

  Victoria Snelling : Yeah, you can say that again.

• Victoria Snelling : [trying to make a phone call while the cab's radio's blasting]  Will you hold on a second please? Miss - would you please, uh, just turn the music off?

  Corky : [condescendingly turning it off]  Sure, Mom.

  Victoria Snelling : Thank you.

• Corky : I'm real particular, you know, and I'm also patient enough. I mean, at least I hope I am. Cause, you know, I don't know, maybe you got to wait awhile, you know. Cause, like, maybe it's not so easy to find like the exact, right guy, you know. Like, the one guy, you know.

  Victoria Snelling : Another mechanic, maybe? Huh?

  Corky : Hell, I don't care what he does. Just as long as he loves me, right - with his soul. You know, takes me for who I am.

• Victoria Snelling : Driving at night doesn't seem to bother you.

  Corky : Why should it?

  Victoria Snelling : For me it's a big problem. I have night blindness.

  Corky : Is that something that happens when you get old?

  Victoria Snelling : No. No, actually it isn't. It has nothing to do with age. I've had it all my life.

• Corky : I don't always want to be a cab driver.

  Victoria Snelling : What do you really want to be.

  Corky : A mechanic.

  Victoria Snelling : A mechanic?

  Corky : I practically know all there is to know about it. Both my brothers are mechanics. They're older than me; but, you know, cause I'm like a girl and I'm like still kinda young and all, I gotta kinda like work up to it, you know.
