Coal Miner's Daughter (1980)
Radio station manager:
You're number fourteen, nationwide!
Loretta Lynn: Hey Doolittle Lynn, who's that sow you got wallowin' in your jeep?
Girl: What'd you call me?
Loretta Lynn: A sow, that's a woman pig!
[after discovering Mooney with a young woman]
Loretta Lynn: I'm warning you Doolittle, I'd better never catch you with trash like that again!
Doolittle: Mr. Webb, me and Loretta are thinkin' about gettin' married, if it's alright with you.
Ted Webb: Go ask Clary.
[Doolittle walks through the house to the kitchen]
Doolittle: Mrs. Webb, me and Loretta is thinkin' about gettin' married tomorrow.
Clara Webb: Go ask Ted.
[Doolittle walks back onto the porch, then back into the house]
Loretta Webb: Doo, Where are you goin'?
Doolittle: Ted says go ask Clary; Clary says go ask Ted; I don't know.
Loretta Webb: Wait 'til they go to bed; then you'll be able to catch them together.
Doolittle: Loretta, I'm leavin' Kentucky. Goin' out west somewhere, find me another job. That damn coal mine about to kill me. There ain't nothin' in Kentucky for me except a chest full of coal dust and being an old man before I'm forty; ask your daddy, he'll tell you.
Loretta: Were you goin' without me?
Doolittle: Just long enough to get the money to send for you.
Loretta: You promised my daddy you wouldn't take me far off.
Doolittle: Darlin' you're goin' to have to decide if you're my wife or his daughter. Besides, you got to go; I love you.
Loretta: You better come up with a better reason than that.
Doolittle: Hop in; I'll run you back up to the house. What are you doin' in this bottom anyway?
Loretta: I came to see the doctor.
Doolittle: What for, you sick?
Loretta: Yeah, I'm sick alright; I'm goin' to have a baby.
Doolittle: [laughing] You know, Loretta, we may have found something you know how to do.
[Doolittle walks out of the door after an argument with Loretta]
Loretta: Doolittle; are you leavin'?
Doolittle: [come back in the house] Naw, Loretta; *I* ain't leavin'.
[Loretta walks up to her parents' house]
Ted: Well, look whose back!
Loretta: Doolittle's done throwed me out.
Clara: Maybe it ain't to late to stop you from ruinin' your life.
Ted: I believe married life is makin' you fat, girl.
Clara: [to herself] Oh, no!
Loretta: I done wrote me a song Betty Sue. Your mama dadgome songwriter now.
Betty Sue Lynn: That's a nice song mama.
Loretta Lynn: Thank you baby
[the morning after the wedding night]
Loretta: This food's cold.
Doolittle: That's 'cause it froze on the way over here from the damn restaurant. You want a hot breakfast, you got to come with me.
Loretta: You think I'm going over there with you and all them folks knowin' what we been doin' in here?
Doolittle: Hell's Bells, Loretta. You think this is somethin' the rest of the world ain't caught onto yet? They don't give a damn.
Lee Dollarhide: [to Doolittle] If you're born in Kentucky you've got three choices; coal mine, moonshine or move it on down the line.
Loretta Lynn: [Loretta is trying out a new song] It goes like this 'It'll be over my dead body, so get out while you can', then it drops down to 'cause you ain't woman enough to take my man!'
Doolittle: Where'd you come up with the idea for that song, Loretta?
Doolittle: [after Loretta's first appearance on the Opry] What we got to do next is; figure out what to do next.
Patsy Cline: People are wantin' to know who you've been sleepin' with to get on the Opry so quick.
Loretta Lynn: Well, I never... who would say such a thing?
Patsy Cline: All those girl singers who've been sleepin' with everybody and *still* ain't got on the Opry.
Patsy Cline: [Loretta and Doolittle are fighting in the parking lot] Get in the car, Loretta! Get in the damn car and drive, Charlie!
Radio station manager: And come off that dumb hillbilly act!
Doolittle: If you knew Loretta, you'd know that ain't no act.
Loretta Lynn: Thank you, honey.
Doolittle: [Doolittle has just tasted Loretta's cooking for the first time] Make many pies, Loretta?
Loretta Lynn: Naw, this is the first one.
Doolittle: How much salt that recipe call for?
Loretta Lynn: Shoot, you don't put salt in a pie! You put in flour and eggs and sugar and... oh no.
Doolittle: Makes sense though; salt and sugar are both white.
Lee Dollarhide: [after watching Doolittle drive his Jeep up the side of a hill to win a bet] Damn! That son of a gun Doolittle don't know the meanin' of the word quit.
Ted Webb: He sure went to a lot of trouble to get on top of a pile of nothin'.
Doolittle: Get in and I'll drive you home.
Loretta: I ain't gettin' in that thing. It looks like somethin' for Mars.
Doolittle: Girl, what the hell do you know about Mars? I'll bet you ain't never been outside the mouth of this holler.
Loretta: I know I ain't gettin' in that thing. If you like it so much; you can walk me home.
Doolittle: Oh, Loretta; them pies ain't the only thing salty about you. Wait a minute; I'm comin'.
Loretta Lynn: An' stoppa that growlin'. You sound like a big ol' bar.
Loretta Lynn: I just can't believe I'm sittin' here talkin' to Patsy Cline.
Patsy Cline: You act like you ain't never seen a glamorous country music singer before.
Loretta Lynn: [Doolittle buys Loretta a guitar] Doolittle, I can't play that thing!
Doolittle: Well, most people can't till they learn how, dammit!
Loretta Lynn: [Loretta catches Doo with another woman] Woman, if you want to keep that arm, you better get it off my husband.
Girl at fairgrounds: Who are you telling what?
Loretta Lynn: I don't know who you are, but I know what you are.
Loretta Lynn: Dadgum it, Doo! You never ask me nothing! You just say, "Hey baby, here's the deal, take it or leave it." Well, it's drivin' me crazy, Doo!
Doolittle: Well, hell, then let's go up to the house, call a lawyer and get a divorce. I'm tired of this bullshit.
Loretta Lynn: I don't want no divorce! I just want the dadgum bedroom in the back of the house!
Doolittle: [as Loretta is putting the babies to bed] Baby, I was just thinking... we got an anniversary coming up and I was wondering what kind of anniversary present you wanted.
Loretta Lynn: Hmm... well, I ain't got no wedding ring yet.
Doolittle: Wedding ring! Bullshit!
Loretta & Mooney's child: Ah, bullshit!
Loretta's child: Ah ha ha ha!
Loretta Lynn: [Loretta is trying to practice the guitar but her sons keep interrupting] If you boys don't settle down on this porch I'm gonna have to whup you!
Loretta & Mooney's child: That's right!
Loretta Lynn: I'm gettin' so sick of baloney.
Doolittle: You are? Well, you know what they say about eatin' baloney, don't you?
Loretta Lynn: No, what?
Doolittle: Makes you horny.
Loretta Lynn: What does that mean?
Doolittle: [starts laughing] Are you so dadburn ignorant you don't know what horny means?
Loretta Lynn: No, what does it mean?
Doolittle: I ain't gonna tell you.
Loretta Lynn: [in a radio interview] Shoot, we've been driving so much, I don't know where I am half the time. But it's fun. We sing, and talk, and Doo - that's my husband - he'll get to acting horny.
Speedy West: [shocked] What!
Loretta Lynn: And the more I laugh, the hornier he gets, and then he'll say, "Loretta, spread me up another one of them baloney sandwiches!"
Radio station manager: [later] I don't know where in the hell you think you are, lady, but that kind of smut don't go in this part of the country!
Loretta Lynn: I didn't know it was dirty! I thought "horny" meant cuttin' up and acting silly!
Doolittle: [Doo comes stumbling in drunk] Happy anniversary, darlin'!
Loretta Lynn: Yeah, it looks like you had a happy one. Y'know, Doo, most couples spend their anniversary together.
[notices the guitar]
Loretta Lynn: What's that?
Doolittle: Oh, that's your anniversary present, baby. Happy anniversary.
Loretta Lynn: My anniversary present! Doo, sometimes I think you got a washer missin' in your brain. I can't play that thing!
Patsy Cline: I'll call you on Monday and we'll go shopping. Anything we can't buy, we'll make. Anything we can't make, we'll steal!
Loretta Lynn: [after hearing of Patsy's death] She can't be dead, Doo! We're goin' shopping! Who am I gonna talk to now?
[the Webb children all receive new shoes, Loretta also receives a dress]
Webb child: Hey, how come she gets somethin' extry?
Ted Webb: Cause, your sister's become a young woman.
Webb child: Aww, she ain't no woman, she ain't nothin' but a dadburn kid.
Ted: I aint ever gonna see you again.
Loretta: Yes you will, daddy.
Ted: Maybe, but i aint never gonna see my little girl again.
