I have too many favorite lines from this movie, so I'll just pick one to start:
Dirt in the fuel lines. Just blowed it away!
What are your favorite lines?
OK. I'll go again:
Well, times is hard.
"Ya know, last year down in Duncanville, poor farmers kept you laws away from us with shotguns. You supposed to be protecting them from us and they're protecting us from you. That don't make sense now, do it?"
shareYour advertisin's just dandy. Folks would never guess you don't have a thing to sell!
shareIf that's all you want's a stud service you go on up there to West Dallas and you stay there restayalife.
I coulda got snake bit sleep in' in them woods---and that's the truth!!!
shareI think that one's followed by "I have to take SASS from Miss Bonnie Parker..."
shareFarmer: All I can say is, they did right by me - and I'm bringin' me and a mess of flowers to their funeral.🐭 share
This is a STOLEN 4 cylinder Ford coupe.
It's actually a 4-cylinder Ford coupe. Clyde exclusively stole Fords.

Thanks. I've corrected! I knew it was a Ford, I don't know why I typed it that way!!
I didn't know that part about Clyde only stealing Fords.
Yeah, his favorite model was the Ford V8, which was the fastest car on the road at the time. Coincidentally, it was introduced in 1932, the same year that Bonnie and Clyde embarked on their two-year crime spree. Clyde apparently wrote a letter of appreciation to Henry Ford*, which now hangs in the Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
.
I'm partial to Bonnie's "You know, when we first started out, I though we was really goin' somewhere. But this is it. We're just… goin'." Totally encompasses the whole film for me.
shareWell, I guess some little old lady wasn't so nice!
shareMy favorite line is when Bonnie wakes up on a pulled out back seat of a car and says to Clyde "These accommodations ain't particularly deluxe".
Just a guy in Texas who loves movies.
"Step on it, Velma!" (My grammie's name was Velma.)
shareYou SURE you don't have no peach pies?
shareThey sure made use of that peach motif. Clyde wants peach pies during the grocery store robbery, Buck calls Bonnie a peach when he first meets her, and later Buck asks Blanche and C.W. to fetch him some peach ice cream. It's really too bad that the fruit that Bonnie and Clyde eat at the end before their deaths (symbolizing that this Eve had led this Adam astray) is not a peach but a pear. I heard they were not in season during filming, so they had to settle for a pear. Yuck. I hate pears. Plus, it ruins the motif they were going for.

Ha! Great observations on the peach motif! Yes, too bad they couldn't have used a peach at the end.
Here's 2 more lines of dialog I like:
You ain't never gonna have a minute's peace.
You promise?
Whatever you do son, don't sell that cow!
