Quote #4

BONNIE: But you wouldn't have the gumption to use it.

To prove that he's indeed a bank robber, Clyde shows Bonnie his gun. She's immediately drawn to it and for a moment fondles the gun barrel in a very suggestive way. She's definitely aroused, but she wants to see if he can walk the walk as well as talk the talk. He takes up her dare, and their life of crime together begins.

Quote #5

CLYDE: You got something better than being a waitress.

After Clyde rebuffs Bonnie's sexual advances, he says he wants her to come with him because she's like him: she's special and deserves more than a humdrum life as a waitress. While she's frustrated that he didn't live up to his "advertisement" as a sexual partner, she's drawn to his point of view that she should strive for more.

Quote #6

CLYDE: And you go home and you go into your room and you think, "Now, when—and how—am I ever going to get away from this?"

Clyde has amazing insight into Bonnie's life. He has—as they say—her number. She feels that he already knows her and what she wants—a life with more money and more thrills; a life of crime.
