Quotes 

• Jason 'Jake' Rogers : [enters]  Hi. Anna? Anna? Anna! *Anna!*

  Anna Reeves : What's the matter? Oh, I fell asleep.

  [throws her arms around his neck, and kisses him] 

  Anna Reeves : You're early. Hey, you're shaking.

  Jason 'Jake' Rogers : No, look what I have.

  [holds up two bottles of champagne] 

  Anna Reeves : [snickers]  For a whole year?

  Jason 'Jake' Rogers : No, for tonight.

  [sits down on chair] 

  Anna Reeves : You've got the jitters.

  [kneels down next to him on floor] 

  Anna Reeves : Was it bad at home?

  Jason 'Jake' Rogers : No, no worse. Like always.

  [smashes the neck off one of the bottles on the nearest piece of furniture, and as she tries to clean up:] 

  Jason 'Jake' Rogers : I can't take much more of it. Now, how many times did I say that?

  Anna Reeves : Every Saturday night.

  [smiles] 

  Jason 'Jake' Rogers : [Anna pours a drink, takes a sip, then hands it to him, he takes a sip, then puts the drink out of the way]  You're the only woman I ever knew who never has to talk. First thing I ever noticed about you. Even when you were a little girl.

  [Anna gives a vague smile] 

  Jason 'Jake' Rogers : I got a present for you.

  [takes a little box out of his pocket, hands it to her, and she sits there looking at it] 

  Jason 'Jake' Rogers : Well, open it, darling.

  Anna Reeves : [obviously expensive earrings]  How much did they cost?

  [raises her eyebrows] 

  Anna Reeves : Hmm? $500?

  [Jake smirks, then chuckles] 

  Anna Reeves : 800, 900?

  Jason 'Jake' Rogers : Why do you have to know? 2000.

  Anna Reeves : Jake, where am I gonna wear 'em? You keep giving me things like that. They're just gonna sit in my lousy room

  [throws them at Jake] 

  Anna Reeves : in a rotten drawer and I'll stare at 'em!

  Jason 'Jake' Rogers : [sits down next to her]  I didn't marry first, Anna, you did. I didn't marry first, you did!

  [cups her face] 

  Anna Reeves : Oh, Jake, I heard you. Come on, stop talking foolish. Stop talking anything.

  [kisses him] 

• Sheriff Calder : Anna? Where's Bubber?

  Anna Reeves : Well, Lester just came by to see me, Calder. You see, we've known each other since we were kids, and sometimes when he's broke...

  [to Jake:] 

  Anna Reeves : I'm gonna go home and get it.

  Sheriff Calder : [grabs microphone]  Slim... Anna Reeves and Jake Rogers are on their way out here. And I want you to get on their tail and stay on it till I tell you to quit.

  [puts down the mic] 

  Sheriff Calder : You don't have a chance of meeting Bubber, Anna. Not a chance. Where is he?

  Anna Reeves : I don't talk to sheriffs, Calder. You oughta know that.

  Sheriff Calder : [approaches]  Do you know that a fellow was murdered up in Siddonsville today, and Bubber's being accused of it?

  Anna Reeves : Bubba never murdered anybody!

  Sheriff Calder : [nods]  I don't believe he would either, but his fingerprints are all over the body. It'd be a whole lot better if he came in here voluntarily.

  Anna Reeves : And be punished for something he didn't do?
