Bonnie and Clyde Justice Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Bonnie and Clyde.

Quote #4

SINGERS IN FILM: We're in the money.

This is the first line from a song in the movie, Gold Diggers of 1933, which Bonnie, Clyde, and C.W. watch after the three pull a bank heist in which Clyde, panicking, kills a man for the first time. The irony, of course, is that, while they're now "in the money," they're also in a great deal of trouble because Clyde has killed someone. Clyde, especially, now realizes that survival as an outlaw will be a lot tougher than he first assumed.

Quote #5

BONNIE: There's always somebody in the next room or this room or in every other kind of room. Honey, don't you ever just want to be alone with me?

Rather than wearing a silk dress and dining at the Adophus Hotel in Dallas, Bonnie finds herself crowded into hideouts…not only with Clyde but also with C.W., Buck, and Blanche. Increasingly, she's learning that the life she is leading is clearly not the life she signed up for when she first went with Clyde.

Quote #6

CLYDE: Hey, hey, the laws are outside. They're blockin' the driveway.

Another grim reality of life on the run that Bonnie and Clyde didn't figure on initially is the law's constant pursuit. At this point, Clyde notices police cars driving in the driveway where they are staying. Seconds later, a major shoot-out will take place and the gang members will all barely escape with their lives. As the story progresses, the shoot-outs will continue and escalate, suggesting a very different fate for the gang members from the lives of luxury that they initially saw for themselves.
