I'm going home - I'll take you - I have a car - I'll follow you
"Cherry -- make it two..."
In the movie Body Heat, I like the way the character Ned Racine orders things.
To the bartender:
"Bourbon, any kind, on the rocks..."
To the snow cone vendor:
"Cherry, make it two."
Kathleen Turner in the role of Matty Walker seems distant, and commanding; solemn, disillusioned.
As Ned Racine, William Hurt is the lord of understatement -- his lines are laid down deadpan, with unmatched diffidence.
"This is the only joint in Pinehaven."
Beneath the exteriors of both these characters waits desire, an implied challenge. ...
[excerpt - script] - I think I'll get out of here now. I'm going home.
RACINE
I'll take you.
MATTY
I have a car.
-- I'll follow you. I want to see the chimes.
-- You want to see the chimes.
-- I want to hear them.
(looks at him) -- That's all. If I let you, then that's all.
-- I'm not looking for trouble.
[Body Heat, screenplay written by Lawrence Kasdan]
Bourbon any kind on the rocks
