    The Straight Story quotes

    • Alvin Straight: Well, they may be mad. I don't think they're mad enough to want to lose you, or your little problem.

      Crystal: I don't know about that.

      Alvin Straight: Well, of course, neither do I, but a warm bed and a roof sounds a mite better than eating a hot dog on a stick with an old geezer that's travelling on a lawnmower.

    • Alvin Straight: Can I help you, lady?

      Deer Woman: No, you can't help me. No one can help me. I've tried driving with my lights on, I've tried sounding my horn, I scream out the window, I-I roll the window down and bang on the side of the door and play Public Enemy real loud! I have prayed to St. Francis of Assisi, St. Christopher too-what the heck! I've tried everything a person can do, and still, every week, I plow into at least one deer! I have hit thirteen deer in seven weeks driving down this road, mister! And I have to drive down this road! Every day, forty miles back and forth to work! I have to drive to work, and I have to drive home!

      [she looks at the open fields around her]

      Deer Woman: ...Where do they come from?

      [she kneels down and checks the deer's pulse]

      Deer Woman: He's dead.

      [she walks back towards her car]

      Deer Woman: And I love deer!

      [she gets in her car and drives off]
