Thelma & Louise Women and Femininity Quotes

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

Quote #4

THELMA: You wanna step into the trunk, please?

PATROLMAN: Please, I have a wife and kids. Please!

THELMA: You do? Well, you're lucky. You be sweet to 'em. Especially your wife. My husband wasn't sweet to me, look how I turned out.

One of our favorite moments in the film. Blame Darryl—why not? To Thelma's credit, she is very polite about asking the cop to get into his trunk. How many male criminals can we give such props to?

Quote #5

TRUCKER: You women are crazy!

LOUISE: You got that right.

THELMA: We think you should apologize.

Is asking for an apology instead of fulfilling a stranger's sexual fantasies really that crazy? No wonder Thelma and Louise feel like they have to become outlaws in order to live free lives.

Quote #6

THELMA: Damn. I hate that! I hate bein' called a beaver, don't you?

We can think of a few others names we hate being called, too.
