 Robert Forster Quotation[talking about luck in the movie business]: "I'm not sure how a guy wins or loses in this business, but somebody's got to come along and make you lucky.You can't do it yourself." [talking about his character in Jackie Brown]: "This is the great noir hero.If Humphrey Bogart or Robert Mitchum were around today, they'd be playing that role." [talking about the rules to succeed in Hollywood]: "Step No. 1 is you've got to have a good attitude, Step No. 2 is accept all things, deliver excellence to whatever is offered, give it your best shot. And rule No. 3 is never quit. It's not over till it's over." [talking about Quentin Tarantino and his relashionship with the cast]:"This guy is very smart, and he's great to his actors. He wants them to be great. He keeps the stuff fresh. When he gave me the script he knew I hadn't had a big part like this in twenty-five years and he said, "Here, read this, and don't put any pressure on yourself. Just prepare the way you normally prepare." And I said, "Oh, what a liberating thing." This guy is totally secure. He doesn't seem to be worried about anything. He's as good a guy as I have ever worked with. He screened movies once a week for his crew. One of them was Movie Title: American Perfekt, a recent indie film I did.The last week of production he threatened to screen it for the crew and I said to him, "Listen, there's a tiny bit of 'adult content' in this, so I don't want to hear any catcalls. I don't know if it this is the right thing to screen." He got on the walkie-talkie and said "Hey, anybody who wants to see Forster naked come on in!" [talking about his comeback and the comparison with John Travolta's career turn in Pulp Fiction]:"If I get ten percent of John Travolta's bounce, I will be thrilled." [when asked about the reason why Tarantino likes to revive the careers of actors who the show business have written off]: "He grew fond of people. He told me that he loved Pam Grier when he was a kid and I guess he saw Movie Title: Alligator and Movie Title: The Banker all those pictures that I worked on during those years and apparently he said, 'I like this guy and one of these days I'm going to use him.'" Movie Title: Satan's Princess (1990) as Cherney: Cherney : I don't know anymore what I'm saying. I don't know if I'm walking into walls or what. Fourteen years a cop and I never been so scared. Movie Title: Point of Seduction: Body Chemistry III (1994) as Bob Sibley: Bob Sibley : A woman is not in jeopardy unless the threat comes from a man. Movie Title: Me, Myself & Irene (2000) as Colonel Partington: Colonel Partington : Charlie, why didn't you take a vacation when Layla left? Charlie Baileygates : Why... why would I? Wives leaves their husbands everyday in this country... It's no reason to short change the department... it's not like I had the flue!... Movie Title: Like Mike (2002) as Coach Wagner: Calvin Cambridge : Did I come here to play, or did I come just for a show? Coach Wagner : You were only here tonight to increase attendance, not to play. Movie Title: The Black Hole (1979) as Dan Holland / Holland: Lieutenant Charles Pizer : We'd be better off without you and Maximilian trying to knock heads. V.I.N.CENT : I can handle that thing. Lieutenant Charles Pizer : Well, far be it from you to admit there isn't anything you can't handle. V.I.N.CENT : There are three basic types, Mr. Pizer: The Wills, the Won'ts, and the Can'ts. The Wills accomplish everything, the Won'ts oppose everything, and the Can'ts won't try anything. Dan Holland : Well, do us all a favor, V.I.N.CENT, and try to be a Can't, especially where that monster is concerned. We need you, not another corkscrew. Kate McCrae : Alex, I will not have yo throw your life away for this! Durant : He can do it, Kate. I know he can. Kate McCrae : Oh God, Alex! Durant : There's an entirely different universe beyond that black hole. A point where time and space as we know it no longer exists. We will be the first to see it, to explore it, to experience it! [Palomino] Booth : Damn it all, Dan! If we wait for Alex, we may be too late! Don't you see? He's hypnotized by that man! Holland : V.I.N.CENT! V.I.N.CENT : Yes, Captain? Holland : Tell Kate I want her back here fast, with or without Alex. Tell her why. [After first seeing the black hole] Lieutenant Charles Pizer : Every time I see one of those things I expect to spot some guy dressed in red with horns and a pitchfork. Dan Holland : It's a monster, all right. V.I.N.CENT : A rip in the very fabric of space and time. [V.I.N.CENT's tether breaks while repairing the ship] Kate McCrae : Dan! The tether's broken! Lieutenant Charles Pizer : I'm going after him! Dan Holland : Stay at your post, Charlie. Lieutenant Charles Pizer : What the hell are you made of? What if it was one of us out there? Dan Holland : V.I.N.CENT is one of us. Harry Booth : If Reinhart has anti-gravity strong enough to hold us here, I figure he's got enough to pull away. Lieutenant Charles Pizer : So? Harry Booth : "So?" So why not take this ship and Reinhart back home? Dan Holland : That's a long shot you're talking, Harry. Harry Booth : Oh, come on! You've got two scientific wizards here who could figure out the computers, and possibly even reprogram the robots. And the three of us can handle Reinhart and that pet monster of his. I tell ya... we could all be heroes. Dan Holland : We could also be dead. Harry Booth : No sense leaving the story of a lifetime untold, Captain. Dan Holland : I'm afraid there is, Harry. [pointing to the black hole] Dan Holland : And it's staring straight at us right now. Movie Title: Peacemaker (1990) as Yates: Yates : Be it ever so rat-infested, there's no place like home. Movie Title: Jackie Brown (1997) as Max Cherry: Max Cherry : Half a million dollars will always be missed. Max Cherry : Is white guilt supposed to make me forget that I run a business? Max Cherry : I'll bet, besides maybe an afro, you look exactly how you did at 29. Jackie Brown : Well, my ass aint the same. Max Cherry : Bigger? Jackie Brown : Yeah. Max Cherry : Aint nothin' wrong with that! Ordell Robbie : This you and me talking, is this like a lawyer-client thing, and you can't repeat nothing I tell you? Max Cherry : You're not my client until you get busted and I bond you out. Ordell Robbie : Well, if we ain't got no - what's that shit called? - confidentiality, why should I tell you a thing? Max Cherry : Because you want me to know what a slick guy you are. You got stewardesses bringing you fifty grand. Ordell Robbie : Now why would a stewardess be bringing me fifty grand? Max Cherry : Now you want me to speculate on what you do. My guess is you're in the drug business, except the money's moving the wrong way. Whatever you're into, you seem to be getting away with it, so more power to you. Winston : I don't have to know what I'm doing, just so long as you know. Max Cherry : I think I do. Good enough? Winston : You bet. Ordell Robbie : My money's in that office, right? If she start giving me some bullshit about it ain't there, and we got to go someplace else and get it, I'm gonna shoot you in the head then and there. Then I'm gonna shoot that bitch in the kneecaps, find out where my goddamn money is. She gonna tell me too. Hey, look at me when I'm talking to you, motherfucker. You listen: we go in there, and that nigger Winston or anybody else is in there, you the first motherfucker to get shot. You understand? Max Cherry : Yeah. Ordell Robbie : There ain't nothing you want to tell me before we get out of this car, is there? Max Cherry : No. Ordell Robbie : Last chance, motherfucker. You sure? [Max nods] Ordell Robbie : You better be, motherfucker. All right, let's roll. Max Cherry : I'm 56 years old. I can't blame anybody else for something I did. Max Cherry : Jackie wants to give it to you herself, she wants to collect her ten percent. She also wants to explain why she had to hang on to it. Ordell Robbie : Oh, and I want to hear that shit! Max Cherry : Winston found you. Ordell Robbie : How the fuck did he find me? Max Cherry : That's what Winston does. He finds people who don't want to be found. Ordell Robbie : What the fuck you doin' knockin on the door like the goddamn police? You wanna die? Max Cherry : I thought you might be asleep. Ordell Robbie : You keep fuckin' with me, you're gonna be asleep forever. Max Cherry : If you've got time, you think you can find out where he's staying? Winston : Cops can't locate him, huh? Max Cherry : They don't have your winning personality. |
