## Dialogue

    Evelyn Kelcher: Peggy, I don't mean to be intrusive, but are you having problems with Charlie?
    Peggy Sue: A lot of things are confusing right now, Charlie is just one of them.
    Evelyn Kelcher: Is Charlie pressuring you into doing things you don't think you should be doing?
    Peggy Sue: What do you mean?
    Evelyn Kelcher: Peggy, you know what a penis is? Stay away from it!
    Peggy Sue: I am a grown woman with a life time of experience that you can't understand.
    Charlie Bodell: Yeah, girls mature faster than guys.
    Michael Fitzsimmons: So are you going to marry Mr. Blue Impala and graze around with all the other sheep for the rest of your life?
    Peggy Sue: No... I already did that.
    Michael Fitzsimmons: But we had heat, baby. Passion! Fire! We owe it to ourselves to fuse together, at least one more time.
    Peggy Sue: Oh, that's a good line. You are gonna be a terrific writer.
    Michael Fitzsimmons: You think so?
    Peggy Sue: Yeah.
    Peggy Sue: We had one glorious night together, someday you'll remember and write about it.
    Michael Fitzsimmons: Yeah, I can dig that. Bittersweet perfection. Dogs of lust on leashes of memory.
    Evelyn Kelcher: What's the matter, have you and Charlie had a fight?
    Peggy Sue: Yes.
    Evelyn Kelcher: What about?
    Peggy Sue: House payments.
    Peggy Sue: Then you think time travel is possible for people?
    Richard Norvik: Yes. It's absolutely possible for people, for dogs, for cancan girls.
    Peggy Sue: Oh, then I'm not crazy.
    Richard Norvik: Well, I really don't know if you're crazy. I know most people think I am.
    Richard Norvik: [about time travel] I would be very careful about this if I were you. What if you fall into the hands of some madman with plans to manipulate your brain?
    Peggy Sue: Well, that's why I was getting a divorce!
    Peggy Sue: It's funny. It's really funny. You bought an Edsel.
    Jack Kelcher: Young lady, what's the matter with you? Are you drunk?
    Peggy Sue: Uh, just a little. I had a tough day.
    Peggy Sue: Grandpa, if you had a chance to go back and do it all differently, what would you have changed?
    Barney Alvorg: Well, I would have taken better care of my teeth.
