Lost Highway: 'You'll never have me'


I swear, the way Patricia Arquette tells Balthazar Getty that he will never have her, after they've just fucked in the dust, towards the end of David Lynch's magnificent fever dream of a movie, is genuinely one of my top five line readings in any film ever made. It would be just for the way she draws out the 'never' in a deeply unsettling way, but in the context of the entire movie, it's the point of the whole damn thing.
