![]() Quentin Tarantino Quotation(at MTV Movie Awards 1994) as he won Best Picture for _Pulp Fiction (1994)_ ) "Pop quiz, hotshot: you go to the awards ceremonies all year long; you keep losing to Movie Title: Forrest Gump! It's really annoying the hell out of you - what do you do? You go to the MTV Awards!" (after "rival" director Guy Ritchie married Madonna) "I guess I'll have to marry Elvis Presley to get even." "If I've made it a little easier for artists to work in violence, great! I've accomplished something." "When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them 'no, I went to films.'" (on using surfing music when hating the surfing culture) "It's like surf music, I've always like loved that but, for me, I don't know what surf music has to do with surf boards. To me, it just sounds like rock and roll, even Morricone music. It sounds like rock and roll Spaghetti Western music, so that's how I kind of laid it in." "Movies are my religion and God is my patron. I'm lucky enough to be in the position where I don't make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie, I want it to be everything to me; like I would die for it." "First off, I've always thought of the black suits as mine, so I don't think of them as Agent Smiths, I think of them as Reservoir Dogs with less cool sunglasses. The similarities between the fight sequences never occured to me until I had a director's screening and Luc Besson turned up with Keanu Reeves as his guest. I watched Keanu watching and suddenly I felt it." - on the comparison between Kill Bill's group fight and Neo v's 100 Agent Smiths "Sure, Kill Bill's a violent movie. But it's a Tarantino movie. You don't go to see Metallica and ask the fuckers to turn the music down" - on media criticisms of violence in his movies "What if a kid goes to school after seeing Kill Bill and starts slicing up other kids? You know, I'll take that chance! Violent films don't turn children into violent people. They may turn them into violent filmmakers but that's another matter altogether" - on media criticisms of violence in his movies "If you're a film fan, collecting video is sort of like marijuana. Laser discs, they're definitely cocaine. Film prints are heroin, all right? You're shooting smack when you start collecting film prints. So, I kinda got into it in a big way, and I've got a pretty nice collection I'm real proud of." - On collecting movies. (On how to take the violence in Kill Bill: Vol 1. (Re: The final duel with Lucy Liu)) "It's supposed to be kind of amusing and poetic at the same time. And also just a teeny-tiny bit solemn. When you see her head, it's funny. And then her line, "that really was a Hattori Hanzo sword.," that's funny. But then, the next shot is not funny, when she tips over and Meiko Kaji is singing about revenge on the soundtrack. So, it's all together. Funny. Solemn. Beautiful. Gross. All at the same time." "Going into a videostore and going through the videos, looking at every title they have, trying to find some old spaghetti western, that's gone." - on becoming famous "I have an idea for a Godzilla movie that I've always wanted to do. The whole idea of Godzilla's role in Tokyo, where he's always battling these other monsters, saving humanity time and again- wouldn't Godzilla become God? It would be called Living Under the Rule of Godzilla. This is what society is like when a big fucking green lizard rules your world." Whe I was on the View, Barbara Walters was asking me about the blood and stuff, and I said, 'Well, you know, that's a staple of Japanese cinema. And then she came back,'But this is America'. And I go, 'I don't make movies for America. I make movies for planet Earth'. (while talking about Kill Bill) When I was directing "ER," I didn't want to stand out. Everyone else is wearing all that crap. I wanted to fit in. I didn't want to be the odd man out. I wanted to be inside, not on the outside. When I was directing the "ER" thing, the emergency room guys wore the green scrubs. I wore those for a few days. Then, I wore the blue scrubs which were the surgeons' for a few days. When I wore the nurse's pink scrubs, though, that's when I became a hero on the set. The nurses didn't think I was going to throw in with them. I ended the episode, the last two days, wearing the nurses scrubs. When I walked on the set all the nurses applauded me. They were like, "Oh my God, he's so cool!" - on directing the ER episode Motherhood. Movie Title: Sleep with Me (1994) as Sid: Sid : You want subversion on a massive level. You know what one of the greatest fucking scripts ever written in the history of Hollywood is? Top Gun. Duane : Oh, come on. Sid : Top Gun is fucking great. What is Top Gun? You think it's a story about a bunch of fighter pilots. Duane : It's about a bunch of guys waving their dicks around. Sid : It is a story about a man's struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun is about, man. You've got Maverick, all right? He's on the edge, man. He's right on the fucking line, all right? And you've got Iceman, and all his crew. They're gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they're saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways. Duane : What about Kelly McGillis? Sid : Kelly McGillis, she's heterosexuality. She's saying: no, no, no, no, no, no, go the normal way, play by the rules, go the normal way. They're saying no, go the gay way, be the gay way, go for the gay way, all right? That is what's going on throughout that whole movie... He goes to her house, all right? It looks like they're going to have sex, you know, they're just kind of sitting back, he's takin' a shower and everything. They don't have sex. He gets on the motorcycle, drives away. She's like, "What the fuck, what the fuck is going on here?" Next scene, next scene you see her, she's in the elevator, she is dressed like a guy. She's got the cap on, she's got the aviator glasses, she's wearing the same jacket that the Iceman wears. She is, okay, this is how I gotta get this guy, this guy's going towards the gay way, I gotta bring him back, I gotta bring him back from the gay way, so I'll do that through subterfuge, I'm gonna dress like a man. All right? That is how she approaches it. Okay, now let me just ask you - I'm gonna digress for two seconds here. I met this girl Amy here, she's like floating around here and everything. Now, she just got divorced, right? All right, but the REAL ending of the movie is when they fight the MIGs at the end, all right? Because he has passed over into the gay way. They are this gay fighting fucking force, all right? And they're beating the Russians, the gays are beating the Russians. And it's over, and they fucking land, and Iceman's been trying to get Maverick the entire time, and finally, he's got him, all right? And what is the last fucking line that they have together? They're all hugging and kissing and happy with each other, and Ice comes up to Maverick, and he says, "Man, you can ride my tail, anytime!" And what does Maverick say? "You can ride mine!" Swordfight! Swordfight! Fuckin' A, man! Movie Title: From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) as Richie: Richie : The Ranger's taking a piss. Why don't I just go there, blow his head off and get outta here. Pete Bottoms : Don't do that! Look, you asked me to act natural, and I'm acting as natural - in fact, under the circumstances, I think I ought get a fuckin' Academy Award for how natural I'm acting. [Richard day-dreaming] Kate : Richie, would you do me a favor and eat my pussy for me... please? Richie : Uhh... sure. Kate : What's going on? Richie : We're having a wet bikini contest, and you just won. Richie : Where are my glasses? Seth : They broke when you fell. Richie : Oh, fuck, Seth, that's my only pair! Seth : Don't worry about it, we'll get you some glasses. Richie : Whatdya mean, don't worry about it. Of course I'm gonna worry about it, I can't fuckin' see. Seth : When we get to El Rey, I'll take care of it. Richie : Yeah, like a Mexican hole-in-the-wall's gonna have my fuckin' prescription. Seth : Shit, I been to bars make this place look like a fuckin' 4-H club. Richie : I gotta say I'm with Jacob on this. I been to some fucked up places in my time, but that place is fucked up. Seth : Now, is my shit together, or is my shit together? Richie : Your shit is forever together! Kate : Where are we going? Richie : Mexico. Kate : What's in Mexico? Richie : Mexicans. Richie : Shit, I started to get worried. Where the fuck ya been? Seth : Sight seein'. Richie : What'd ya see? Seth : Cops. Richie : I told you he said help us. Pete Bottoms : [screaming in pain] I never said help us! Seth : Well that doesn't matter now, because you got about three seconds to fucking live! Richie : "How's your hand, Rich?" It hurts like a fucking son of a bitch, thanks for asking, Seth! Movie Title: Little Nicky (2000) as Deacon: Deacon : The Lord loves you, and the Lord loves you. [to Nicky] Deacon : You make the Lord very nervous. Movie Title: Alias (2001) as McKenas Cole: McKenas Cole : Dear person... beating up my men... McKenas Cole : Oh, wow, that was a moderately clever retort. McKenas Cole : [to Sydney] Now, I know I'm not the subtlest guy when it comes to women and I probably said something insanely inappropriate, because you told me if I ever talked to you again, you'd break my kneecaps. Which just made me love you. McKenas Cole : I am now standing in Sloan's... tastefully minimalistic office. McKenas Cole : Welcome, miss Thorne. The work you'll be doing for us requires a certain commitment. Sydney : Of course. McKenas Cole : Who this man is, is not important. What is important is this knife on the table. Use it. Kill this unimportant man. Movie Title: Pulp Fiction (1994) as Jimmie / Jimmie Dimmick: [Jules, Vincent and Jimmie are drinking coffee in Jimmie's kitchen] Jules Winnfield : Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit! Usually, me and Vince would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice, but he springs this serious GOURMET shit on us! What flavor is this? Jimmie Dimmick : Knock it off, Julie. Jules Winnfield : [pause] What? Jimmie Dimmick : I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SHIT. Me, I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I wanjt to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead nigger in my garage. Jules Winnfield : Oh, Jimmie, don't even worry about that... Jimmie Dimmick : No, let me ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you see a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage?" Jules Winnfield : Jimmie, you know I ain't seen no... Jimmie Dimmick : Did you see a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage?" Jules Winnfield : [pause] No. I didn't. Jimmie Dimmick : You know WHY you didn't see that sign? Jules Winnfield : Why? Jimmie Dimmick : 'Cause it ain't there, 'cause storing dead niggers ain't my fucking business, that's why! Jimmie : I'm gonna get fuckin' divorced. No marriage counselling, no trial separation, I'm gonna get fuckin' divorced. Jimmie : I can't believe this is the same car. The Wolf : Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet. The Wolf : You guys look like... What do they look like, Jimmie? Jimmie : Dorks. They look like a couple of dorks. Jules : Ha-ha-ha. They're your clothes, motherfucker. Movie Title: Four Rooms (1995) as Chester: Chester : Like my old grand daddy used to say, "The less a man makes declarative statements, the less apt he is to look foolish in retrospect." Chester : This is Cristal! Everything else is just piss! Chester : Ted, what do you think of that tasty beverage? Ted the Bellhop : It's quite good sir. Chester : No, no, no! It's *Fucking* good. Now let's do that again. Ted, what do you think of that tasty beverage? Ted the Bellhop : It's *Fucking* good sir! [Leo is on the phone with his wife] Leo: Yes, it's my job. Yes, it's my fucking job, you know that. He wanted to stay out late. I can't fucking - I went to the Monkey Bar, all right? Don't yell at me - I'm not yelling. I'm not yelling. You're the one that's fucking yelling! Fuck! Don't hang up on me! Ellen, please don't hang up on me. Please don't hang up on me. Goddamn it, I swear to fucking God, if you hang up on me, that fuckin' call better be genuine, 'cause I'm gonna get a fuckin' divorce! Norman : Yo, Leo? Leo: FUCK! Chester : Another fucking "Honeymooners" going on in there. [Leo tosses throws down his cellphone and begins throwing things around in a violent tantrum] Leo: Fuckin' shit, man! Man, what the fuck is wrong with this fuckin' bitch, man? I'm gonna take the fuckin' car, I'm gonna drive up to fuckin' Mulholland, I am gonna fuckin' drag her fuckin' ass and throw it down Benedict fuckin' Canyon, man! Norman : You still married, man? Leo: Yeah. I don't fuckin' know any more, I swear to Christ, Norman. I fuckin' swear to God. What the fuck is wrong? I treat this fuckin' bitch like a queen, you know that, man! Chester : I know that. Leo: So I had a little fuckin' too much to drink. It's fuckin' New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve. I can't fuckin' drive home. Okay, Ellen, I'm sorry, I'm fuckin' sorry about that. What am I gonna do? Get in a fuckin' car and go run over six or seven fuckin' kids? That'd be really fuckin' nice! Man, what the fuck is the matter with this bitch? FUCK! [Leo suddenly notices all of the items sitting at the bar] Leo: What the fuck is all this? Ted the Bellhop : Block of wood, bucket of ice and a hatchet, sir. Leo: Get the fuck outta here. Chester, talk to me. Norman? Chester : We now return you to "The Man From Rio" already in progress. Leo: Oh, my fucking dick is hard already. Tell me, Norman, you're gonna do this shit. Norman : (laughs) I am gonna do it. Leo: Oh, you are my fucking hero. Chester : Let me explain what we're talking about here. Ted the Bellhop : No, sir, you don't have to explain anything to me. Whatever constitutes a good time as far as you guys are concerned, well, that's your business. Chester : Well, no, it's your business, too, Ted, because we want you to take part. Ted: Take part in what, sir? Leo: Chester, your way of breaking the news to him gently is scaring the fuck outta him. Chester : You think so? Angela : Just spit it out. Chester : Okay, you might be right. Okay, here we go, here we go, okay. Thing is, Ted, first off, there's nothing homosexual about what we want you to do. I mean, I was thinking you might be thinking we want you to do some like, weird sex thing, like suck us off, pee on us, shit like that, you know. Nothing! Nothing could be further from the truth! Movie Title: Reservoir Dogs (1992) as Mr. Brown: Mr. Brown : O.K., let me tell you what Like a Virgin's about. It's all about this cooze who's a regular fuck machine, I'm talking morning, day, night, afternoon, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick. Mr. Blue : How many dicks is that? Mr. White : A lot. Mr. Brown : Then one day she meets this John Holmes motherfucker and it's like, whoa baby, I mean this cat is like Charles Bronson in the Great Escape, he's digging tunnels. Now, she's gettin' the serious dick action and she's feeling something she ain't felt since forever. Pain. Pain. It hurts her. It shouldn't hurt her, you know her pussy should be Bubble Yum by now, but when this cat fucks her it hurts. It hurts just like it did the first time. You see the pain is reminding a fuck machine what it once was like to be a virgin. Hence, "Like a virgin." Mr. Brown : Mr. Brown? That sounds too much like Mr. Shit. |
