Panther Quote

Marie Jouvet: Ah, you've just passed the hotel.
Taxi Driver: Yes, ma'am.
Marie Jouvet: But that's where I wanted to go.
Taxi Driver: You see that car following us?
Marie Jouvet: Oh, what about it?
Taxi Driver: Well, the two men in that car suggested I drop you off at another address.
Marie Jouvet: What are you talking about?
Taxi Driver: Actually it was more like a threat than a suggestion.
Marie Jouvet: They threatened you?
Taxi Driver: Well, one of them showed me his brand new gun.
Marie Jouvet: But who are they?
Taxi Driver: Look, I know you'll think I'm not on the ball, but I neglected to get their names.
Marie Jouvet: You realise this is kidnapping?
Taxi Driver: Yeah. Well, I have to be honest with you. I couldn't come up with an alternative.
Marie Jouvet: You can go to prison for life for kidnapping.
Taxi Driver: Lady, the gun he showed me was a .38 Magnum.
Marie Jouvet: I don't know anything about guns.
Taxi Driver: Well, that gun makes enormous holes in things. I had a choice of kidnapping you, and getting shot with that gun. And to be perfectly frank, I would look terrible and feel worse with an enormous hole in me.
