Thelma & Louise Criminality Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Thelma & Louise.

Quote #4

LOUISE: Well, I figure if you take a state policeman, shoot up his car, take his gun and lock him in the trunk, it's best to just get on out of the state if you can.

We're gonna have to agree with that, Louise. How do you feel about the way Thelma handled the situation with the cop, anyway?

Quote #5

HAL: Hey! Don't let them shoot those girls. This is too much. They got guns pointing at them!

MAX: These women are armed, Hal. This is standard. Now, calm down. These boys know what they're doing.

Hal and Max have completely different perspectives on the situation in the final scene of the film. How come we don't feel comforted by the "standard" procedure? What does Hal know that Max doesn't?
