 Humphrey Bogart Quotation"The trouble with the world is that it's always one drink behind." "The trouble with Bogart is he thinks he's Bogart." - John Huston "Acting is experience with something sweet behind it." "Himself, he never took too seriously - his work, most seriously. He regarded the somewhat gaudy figure of Bogart the star with amused cynicism; Bogart the actor he held in deep respect." - John Huston "Bogie himself said that dead is dead and life is for the living and you've got to move on - and if you don't, it's self-indulgent and does the dead no good. He said it dishonoured them because if they gave you so little care for your own life, then they didn't leave you with very much." - Lauren Bacall "It's been misspelt a lot. He decided on it. It's not Bog-ey. He signed with an -ie. And that's good enough for me." - On Lauren Bacall: "She's a real Joe. You'll fall in love with her like everybody else." [attributed last words] "I should never have switched from scotch to martinis." "He was a dirty rat, but I loved that man." - Ann Sheridan "They'll nail anyone who ever scratched his ass during the National Anthem." [On the House Un-American Activities Committee] "I came out here with one suit and everybody said I looked like a bum. Twenty years later Marlon Brando came out with only a sweatshirt and the town drooled over him. That shows how much Hollywood has progressed." "A hotdog at the ballpark is better than a steak a the Ritz." Movie Title: The Two Mrs. Carrolls (1947) as Geoffrey Carroll: Geoffrey Carroll : I have a feeling this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful hatred. Movie Title: Sabrina (1954) as Linus Larrabee: Linus Larrabee : Look at me. Joe College, with a touch of arthritis. Linus Larrabee : After all, this is the 20th century, Father. Oliver Larrabee : Twentieth century? Why, I could pick a century out of a hat, blindfolded, and come up with a better one. Linus Larrabee : I wish I were dead with my back broken. David Larrabee : I've been trying to write her a poem. What rhymes with "glass"? Linus Larrabee : Glass... hmm... I know, "alas". Oliver Larrabee : Seems an awfully expensive way just to get a girl out of our hair. Linus Larrabee : What are you talking about? You can't even get a little olive out of a jar! Movie Title: The African Queen (1951) as Charlie Allnut / Charlie: Charlie Allnut : Well I ain't sorry for you no more, ya crazy, psalm-singing, skinny old maid! Charlie : We can't do that! Rose : How do you know? You never tried it. Charlie : Well, yeah, but I never tried shooting myself in the head neither. Charlie Allnut : I don't know why the Germans would want this God-forsaken place. Rose Sayer : God has not forsaken this place, Mr. Allnut, as my brother's presence here bears witness. Charlie Allnut : How'd you like it? Rose Sayer : Like it? Charlie Allnut : White water rapids! Rose Sayer : I never dreamed... Charlie Allnut : I don't blame you for being scared - not one bit. Nobody with good sense ain't scared of white water... Rose Sayer : I never dreamed that any mere physical experience could be so stimulating! Movie Title: The Big Sleep (1946) as Marlowe / Philip Marlowe: Carmen Sternwood : You're not very tall are you? Philip Marlowe : Well, I, uh, I try to be. Eddie Mars : Convenient, the door being open when you didn't have a key, eh? Philip Marlowe : Yeah, wasn't it. By the way, how'd you happen to have one? Eddie Mars : Is that any of your business? Philip Marlowe : I could make it my business. Eddie Mars : I could make your business mine. Philip Marlowe : Oh, you wouldn't like it. The pay's too small. General Sternwood : Do you like orchids? Philip Marlowe : Not particularly. General Sternwood : Ugh. Nasty things. Their flesh is too much like the flesh of men, and their perfume has the rotten sweetness of corruption. Philip Marlowe : Oh, Eddie, you don't have anybody watching me, do you? Tailing me in a gray Plymouth coupe, maybe? Eddie Mars : No, why should I? Philip Marlowe : Well, I can't imagine, unless you're worried about where I am all the time. Eddie Mars : I don't like you that well. Vivian : How did you find her? Marlowe : I didn't find her. Vivian : Well then how did you-... Marlowe : I haven't been here, you haven't seen me, and she hasn't been out of the house all evening. Vivian : So you do get up, I was beginning to think you worked in bed like Marcel Proust. Marlowe : Who's he? Vivian : You wouldn't know him, a French writer. Marlowe : Come into my boudoir. Vivian : Speaking of horses, I like to play them myself. But I like to see them workout a little first, see if they're front runners or comefrom behind, find out what their whole card is, what makes them run. Marlowe : Find out mine? Vivian : I think so. Marlowe : Go ahead. Vivian : I'd say you don't like to be rated. You like to get out in front, open up a little lead, take a little breather in the backstretch, and then come home free. Marlowe : You don't like to be rated yourself. Vivian : I haven't met anyone yet that can do it. Any suggestions? Marlowe : Well, I can't tell till I've seen you over a distance of ground. You've got a touch of class, but I don't know how, how far you can go. Vivian : A lot depends on who's in the saddle. Vivian : You go too far, Marlowe. Marlowe : Those are harsh words to throw at a man, especially when he's walking out of your bedroom. Marlowe : You know what he'll do when he comes back? Beat my teeth out, then kick me in the stomach for mumbling. Vivian : You've forgotten one thing - me. Philip Marlowe : What's wrong with you? Vivian : Nothing you can't fix. General Sternwood : How do you like your brandy, sir? Philip Marlowe : In a glass. Philip Marlowe : She tried to sit in my lap while I was standing up. Vivian : I don't like your manners. Marlowe : And I'm not crazy about yours. I didn't ask to see you. I don't mind if you don't like my manners, I don't like them myself. They are pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings. I don't mind your ritzing me drinking your lunch out of a bottle. But don't waste your time trying to cross-examine me. Philip Marlowe : My, my, my! Such a lot of guns around town and so few brains! You know, you're the second guy I've met today that seems to think a gat in the hand means the world by the tail. Vivian : Why did you have to go on? Marlowe : Too many people told me to stop. Philip Marlowe : You made a mistake. Mrs. Rutledge didn't want to see me. Norris : I'm sorry, sir. I make many mistakes. Philip Marlowe : Hmm. General Sternwood : What does that mean? Philip Marlowe : It means, hmm. General Sternwood : You knew him too? Philip Marlowe : Yes, in the old days, when he used to run rum out of Mexico and I was on the other side. We used to swap shots between drinks, or drinks between shots, whichever you like. General Sternwood : My respects to you, sir. Few men ever swapped more than one shot with Sean Regan. Philip Marlowe : I know he was a good man at whatever he did. No one was more pleased than I when I heard you had taken him on as your... whatever he was. Philip Marlowe : Thanks for the drink, General. General Sternwood : I enjoyed your drink as much as you did, sir. Norris : Are you attempting to tell me my duties, sir? Philip Marlowe : No, just having fun trying to guess what they are. Vivian : Do you always think you can handle people like, uh, trained seals? Philip Marlowe : Uh-huh. I usually get away with it too. Vivian : How nice for you. [in a bookstore] Philip Marlowe : You do sell books, hmm? Agnes Lowzier : What do those look like, grapefruit? Philip Marlowe : Well, from here they look like books. [making a prank phone call] Philip Marlowe : What can I do for you? I can do what? Where? Oh, no, I wouldn't like that. Neither would my daughter. Philip Marlowe : You wanna tell me now? Vivian : Tell you what? Philip Marlowe : What it is you're trying to find out. You know, it's a funny thing. You're trying to find out what your father hired me to find out, and I'm trying to find out why you want to find out. Vivian : You could go on forever, couldn't you? Anyway it'll give us something to talk about next time we meet. Philip Marlowe : Among other things. Taxi Driver : If you can use me again sometime, call this number. Philip Marlowe : Day and night? Taxi Driver : Uh, night's better. I work during the day. Eddie Mars : Your story didn't sound quite right. Philip Marlowe : Oh, that's too bad. You got a better one? Eddie Mars : Maybe I can find one. Philip Marlowe : Did I hurt you much, sugar? Agnes Lowzier : You and every other man I've ever met. Philip Marlowe : How'd you happen to pick out this place? Vivian : Maybe I wanted to hold your hand. Philip Marlowe : Oh, that can be arranged. Philip Marlowe : You the guy that's been tailing me? Harry Jones : Yeah, the name's Jones. Harry Jones. I want to see you. Philip Marlowe : Swell. Did you want to see those guys jump me? Harry Jones : I didn't care one way or the other. Philip Marlowe : You could've yelled for help. Harry Jones : If a guy's playing a hand, I let him play it. I'm no kibitzer. Philip Marlowe : You got brains Agnes Lowzier : Is Harry there? Philip Marlowe : Yeah, yeah, he's here. Agnes Lowzier : Put him on, will you? Philip Marlowe : He can't talk to you. Agnes Lowzier : Why? Philip Marlowe : Because he's dead. Agnes Lowzier : Well, so long, copper. Wish me luck. I got a raw deal. Philip Marlowe : Yeah, your kind always does. Philip Marlowe : What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen a gun before? What do you want me to do, count three like they do in the movies? Philip Marlowe : Let me do the talking, angel. I don't know yet what I'm going to tell them. It'll be pretty close to the truth. Philip Marlowe : You ought to wean her. She's old enough. Movie Title: All Through the Night (1942) as Alfred "Gloves" Donahue: Barney : Say, chief, can't I get away just long enough to give my girl a quick hello? Alfred "Gloves" Donahue : No, stick around, will ya? Starchie : What are you so nervous about? She'll keep! Barney : That's what you think. I can't take a chance. The fleet's in and she's defense-minded! Alfred "Gloves" Donahue : Say, there's more here than meets the FBI. Alfred "Gloves" Donahue : I start out the evening with a nice poker game in view and wind up in Central Park playing Cowboys and Indians. Now I don't know where I am. How about that! Me, in the middle of New York City, lost in the woods. [Gloves and Ebbing are in a boat filled with explosives] Franz Ebbing : You're not afraid to die, are you? Alfred "Gloves" Donahue : I don't mind dying, but I hate to be divided up into small pieces.

Frank McCloud : One Rocco more or less isn't worth dying for! Movie Title: Knock on Any Door (1949) as Andrew Morton: Andrew Morton : Until we do away with the type of neighborhood that produced this boy, ten will spring up to take his place, a hundred, a thousand.

Slim : I forgot too - maybe I can do something, its been a long day and I'm thirsty. [surveys club patrons] Steve : Picked him out yet? Slim : You don't mind do you? Steve : You're thirsty, go ahead. If I get tired of waiting, I'll be back at that hotel. Slim : All right [starts moving through tables] Slim : What are you trying to do, guess her weight? Steve : She's heftier that you think. [lays down fainted woman he has been carrying] Steve : Better loosen her clothes. Slim : You've been doing all right. [stops him from loosening clothes] Slim : Maybe you'd better look after her husband. Steve : He's not going to run out on me. Slim : Neither is she. Movie Title: The Enforcer (1951) as D.A. Martin Ferguson: [Albert Mendoza is about to be freed and Ferguson decides to show him pictures of his victims as a farewell present] D.A. Martin Ferguson : You think you can shut people up by killing them, but you're wrong. Maybe not in the courtroom but they'll be talkin' to you, Mendoza! At night when you're trying to sleep! [Ferguson has just saved the sole survivor of Mendoza's killings, Angela Vetto, from being killed, just before Mendoza is about to be set free. He recalls Rico's description of Mendoza's first killing which Angela had witnessed saying that she was, "Starin' at him with her big blue eyes!"] D.A. Martin Ferguson : C'mon, Miss Vetto. I want to see the look on Mendoza's face when he looks into those big blue eyes. [Rico is convinced that Mendoza has escaped from prison, so Ferguson takes him down to Mendoza's cell.] Joseph Rico: (After looking in) He's smiling at me... (looks in again) Mendoza, call them off! I ain't gonna say nothin! D.A. Martin Ferguson : Rico! You're gonna talk! Do you hear me? It took 4 years to put him in that cell and when he walks out, he's going to the chair, and you're gonna put him there! Movie Title: The Harder They Fall (1956) as Eddie Willis: Reporter: What gives, Eddie? I looked up Toro in the book. There's no record of him in South America. Eddie Willis : He knocked out thirty-eight guys in a row. None of them went over three rounds. You believe that one and I'll tell you another. First Reporter: Can be box? Eddie Willis : No Gene Tunney. Second Reporter: Can he punch? Eddie Willis : Not like Jack Dempsey. Third Reporter: Well, what's he got besides just being big? Eddie Willis : He's got an iron jaw and a cast-iron stomach. Not a man alive can hurt him. [Willis tells Toro to throw his fight with Buddy Brannen to avoid getting hurt] Toro Moreno: I don't know, I don't know. What would people think of me? Eddie Willis : What do you care what a bunch of bloodthirsty, screaming people think of you? Did you ever get a look at their faces? They pay a few lousy bucks hoping to see a man get killed. To hell with them! Think of yourself. Get your money and get out of this rotten business. Movie Title: The Caine Mutiny (1954) as Lt. Commander Philip Francis Queeg / Captain Queeg: Captain Queeg : Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers... Lt. Commander Philip Francis Queeg : Mr. Maryk, you may tell the crew for me that there are four ways of doing things aboard my ship: The right way, the wrong way, the Navy way, and my way. They do things my way, and we'll get along. Captain Queeg : Get that red-headed fellow over there, that one there! Lt. Keith : Sir, it's impossible to tell which one is red-headed. They're all wearing their helmets. Captain Queeg : Keith - you're an idiot! Captain Queeg : This is the captain speaking. Some misguided sailors on this ship still think they can pull a fast one on me. Well they're very much mistaken. Since you've taken this course the innocent will be punished with the guilty. There will be no liberty for any member of this crew for three months. I will not be made a fool of. Do you hear me. Movie Title: Casablanca (1942) as Rick: [denying an official of the German National Bank entrance to the casino] Rick : Your cash is good at the bar. Banker: What? Do you know who I am? Rick : I do. You're lucky the bar's open to you. Ugarte : Heh, you know, watching you just now with the Deutsche Bank, one would think you've been doing this all your life. Rick : Oh, what makes you think I haven't? Ugarte : Oh, n-n-n-nothing, but when you first came to Casablanca, I thought... Rick : You thought what? Ugarte : Hm, what right do I have to think, huh? Captain Renault : In 1935, you ran guns to Ethiopia. In 1936, you fought in Spain, on the Loyalist side. Rick : I got well paid for it on both occasions. Captain Renault : The winning side would have paid you much better. Captain Renault : Rick, there are many exit visas sold in this café, but we know that you've never sold one. That is the reason we permit you to remain open. Rick : Oh? I thought it was because I let you win at roulette. Captain Renault : That is another reason. Annina : Monsieur Rick, what kind of a man is Captain Renault? Rick : Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so. Ilsa : Play it once, Sam. For old times' sake. Sam : [lying] I don't know what you mean, Miss Elsa. Ilsa : Play it, Sam. Play "As Time Goes By." Sam : [lying] Oh, I can't remember it, Miss Elsa. I'm a little rusty on it. Ilsa : I'll hum it for you. Da-dy-da-dy-da-dum, da-dy-da-dee-da-dum... [Sam begins playing] Ilsa : Sing it, Sam. Sam : [singing] You must remember this / A kiss is still a kiss / A sigh is just a sigh / The fundamental things apply / As time goes by. / And when two lovers woo, / They still say, "I love you" / On that you can rely / No matter what the future brings-... Rick : [rushing up] Sam, I thought I told you never to play-... [Sees Ilsa. Sam closes the piano and rolls it away] Ilsa : I wasn't sure you were the same. Let's see, the last time we met... Rick : Was La Belle Aurora. Ilsa : How nice, you remembered. But of course, that was the day the Germans marched into Paris. Rick : Not an easy day to forget? Ilsa : No. Rick : I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue. Rick : Tell me, who was it you left me for? Was it Laszlo, or were there others in between? Or - aren't you the kind that tells? Rick : Don't you sometimes wonder if it's worth all this? I mean what you're fighting for. Victor Laszlo : You might as well question why we breathe. If we stop breathing, we'll die. If we stop fighting our enemies, the world will die. Rick : Well, what of it? It'll be out of its misery. Victor Laszlo : You know how you sound, Mr. Blaine? Like a man who's trying to convince himself of something he doesn't believe in his heart. Ilsa : A franc for your thoughts. Rick : In America they'd bring only a penny, and, huh, I guess that's about all they're worth. Ilsa : Well, I'm willing to be overcharged. Tell me. Rick : Well, I was wondering... Ilsa : Yes? Rick : Why I'm so lucky. Why I should find you waiting for me to come along. Ilsa : Why there is no other man in my life? Rick : Uh-huh. Ilsa : That's easy: there was. And he's dead. Major Strasser : Are you one of those people who cannot imagine the Germans in their beloved Paris? Rick : It's not particularly my beloved Paris. Heinz : Can you imagine us in London? Rick : When you get there, ask me! Captain Renault : Hmmh! Diplomatist! Major Strasser : How about New York? Rick : Well there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade. [Rick and Renault discussing Victor Laszlo's chances of escaping Casablanca] Captain Renault : This is the end of the chase. Rick : Twenty thousand francs says it isn't. Captain Renault : Is that a serious offer? Rick : I just paid out twenty. I'd like to get it back. Captain Renault : Make it ten. I'm only a poor corrupt official. [Ugarte sells exit visas] Ugarte : You despise me, don't you? Rick : If I gave you any thought I probably would. Ugarte : Rick, think of all the poor devils who can't meet Renault's price. I get it for them for half. Is that so... parasitic? Rick : I don't mind a parasite. I object to a cut-rate one. Yvonne : Where were you last night? Rick : That's so long ago, I don't remember. Yvonne : Will I see you tonight? Rick : I never make plans that far ahead. [Annina is contemplating Renault's offer of exit visas for sex] Annina : Oh, monsieur, you are a man. If somone loved you very much, so that your happiness was the only thing that she wanted in the world, but she did a bad thing to make certain of it, could you forgive her? Rick : Nobody ever loved me that much. Annina : And he never knew, and the girl kept this bad thing locked in her heart? That would be all right, wouldn't it? Rick : You want my advice? Annina : Oh, yes, please. Rick : Go back to Bulgaria. Captain Renault : What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca? Rick : My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters. Captain Renault : The waters? What waters? We're in the desert. Rick : I was misinformed. Rick : I stick my neck out for nobody. Major Strasser : What is your nationality? Rick : I'm a drunkard. Captain Renault : That makes Rick a citizen of the world. Victor Laszlo : I know a good deal more about you than you suspect. I know, for instance, that you're in love with a woman. It is perhaps a strange circumstance that we both should be in love with the same woman. The first evening I came to this café, I knew there was something between you and Ilsa. Since no one is to blame, I - I demand no explanation. I ask only one thing. You won't give me the letters of transit: all right, but I want my wife to be safe. I ask you as a favor, to use the letters to take her away from Casablanca. Rick : You love her that much? Victor Laszlo : Apparently you think of me only as the leader of a cause. Well, I'm also a human being. Yes, I love her that much. [Of Victor Laszlo, who wants to escape from Casablanca] Captain Renault : No matter how clever he is, he still needs an exit visa... or I should say two? Rick : Why two? Captain Renault : He is traveling with a lady. Rick : He'll take one. Captain Renault : I think not. I have seen the lady. Captain Renault : My dear Ricky, you overestimate the influence of the Gestapo. I don't interfere with them and they don't interfere with me. In Casablanca I am master of my fate! I am... Police Officer: Major Strasser is here, sir! Rick : You were saying? Captain Renault : Excuse me. Rick : I congratulate you. Victor Laszlo : What for? Rick : Your work. Victor Laszlo : I try. Rick : We all try. You succeed. Rick : You know what I want to hear. Sam : [lying] No, I don't. Rick : You played it for her, you can play it for me! Sam : [lying] Well, I don't think I can remember... Rick : If she can stand it, I can! Play it! Rick : Who are you really, and what were you before? What did you do, and what did you think, huh? Rick : Here's looking at you, kid. Rick : How can you close me up? On what grounds? Captain Renault : I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here! [A croupier hands Renault a pile of money] Croupier : Your winnings, sir. Captain Renault : [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much. [aloud] Captain Renault : Everybody out at once! Rick : Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine. Rick : And remember, this gun is pointed right at your heart. Captain Renault : That is my least vulnerable spot. [Last line] Rick : Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Rick : Last night we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for both of us. Well, I've done a lot of it since then, and it all adds up to one thing: you're getting on that plane with Victor where you belong. Ilsa : But, Richard, no, I... I... Rick : Now, you've got to listen to me! You have any idea what you'd have to look forward to if you stayed here? Nine chances out of ten, we'd both wind up in a concentration camp. Isn't that true, Louie? Captain Renault : I'm afraid Major Strasser would insist. Ilsa : You're saying this only to make me go. Rick : I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. Ilsa : But what about us? Rick : We'll always have Paris. We didn't have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night. Ilsa : When I said I would never leave you. Rick : And you never will. But I've got a job to do, too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Now, now... Here's looking at you kid. Rick : How long was it we had, honey? Ilsa : I didn't count the days. Rick : Well, I did. Every one of them. Mostly, I remember the last one, the wild finish. A guy standing on a station platform in the rain, with a comical look on his face, because his insides have been kicked out. [Ugarte gives exit visas to Rick for safe keeping] Ugarte : Rick, I hope you're more impressed with me, now? Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll share my luck with your roulette wheel. [Starts to walk away] Rick : [stands up. Ugarte stops] Just a moment. I heard a rumor those two German couriers were carrying letter of transit. Ugarte : Huh? Oh, huh, I heard that rumor too. Poor devils. Rick : You're right, Ugarte. I am a little more impressed with you. [Rick exits casino] Rick : I don't like disturbances in my place. [to the German officer] Rick : Either lay off politics, or get out. Rick : You'll excuse me, gentlemen. Your business is politics, mine is running a saloon. Captain Renault : I've often speculated why you don't return to America. Did you abscond with the church funds? Run off with a senator's wife? I like to think you killed a man. It's the Romantic in me. Rick : It was a combination of all three. Rick : [getting drunk] First they take Ugarte and then she walks in. Well, I guess that's the way it goes... one out and one in. Ugarte : Too bad about those two German couriers, wasn't it? Rick : They got a lucky break. Yesterday they were just two German clerks. Today they're the "Honored Dead". Ugarte : You are a very cynical person, Rick, if you'll forgive me for saying so. Rick : [shortly] I forgive you. Sam : Boss, ain't you going to bed? Rick : Not right now. Sam : Ain't you planning on going to bed in the near future? Rick : No. Sam : You ever going to bed? Rick : No! Sam : Well, I ain't sleepy either. Yvonne : [Yvonne is drunk] Give me another. Rick : Sascha, she's had enough. Yvonne : Don't listen to him, Sascha. Fill it up! Sascha : Yvonne, I loff you, but he pays me. Ugarte : Well, Rick, after tonight, I'll be through with the whole business and I am leaving finally this Casablanca. Rick : Who did you bribe for your visa? Renault or yourself? Ugarte : Myself. I found myself much more reasonable. Movie Title: Beat the Devil (1953) as Billy Dannreuther: Billy Dannreuther : The only thing standing between you and a watery grave is your wits, and that's not my idea of adequate protection. Ahmed : Your demands are very great, under the circumstances. Billy Dannreuther : Why shouldn't they be? Fat Gut's my best friend, and I will not betray him cheaply. Petersen : You mean Mrs. Chelm is an unqualified liar? Billy Dannreuther : Well, let's say she uses her imagination rather than her memory. O'Hara : I come from a culture which is so much older than yours. In my country, a child of 6 years old is older in his heart than you'll be at, at 60. Billy Dannreuther : It smokes, it drinks, it philisophizes... at this rate I'll be 60 before you get to the point. Movie Title: We're No Angels (1955) as Joseph: Joseph : We came here to rob them and that's what we're gonna do - beat their heads in, gouge their eyes out, slash their throats. Soon as we wash the dishes. Albert : Even the girl herself called us angels. Joseph : We're no angels. Albert : What if she knows his handwriting? Joseph : If you got a beautiful note like this, would you bother comparing signatures? Albert : No. It'd have to be signed by a girl, though. Movie Title: Thank Your Lucky Stars (1943) as Humphrey Bogart: Humphrey Bogart : [after an effort at being tough has no effect whatsoever] Hey, I must be losing my touch! Movie Title: Dead Reckoning (1947) as Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock: Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock : You know, the trouble with women is they ask too many questions. They should spend all their time just being beautiful. Coral 'Dusty' Chandler : And let the men do the worrying. Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock : Yeah. You know, I've been thinking: women ought to come capsule-sized, about four inches high. When a man goes out of an evening, he just puts her in his pocket and takes her along with him, and that way he knows exactly where she is. He gets to his favorite restaurant, he puts her on the table and lets her run around among the coffee cups while he swaps a few lies with his pals... Coral 'Dusty' Chandler : Why... Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock : Without danger of interruption. And when it comes that time of the evening when he wants her full-sized and beautiful, he just waves his hand and there she is, full-sized. Coral 'Dusty' Chandler : Why, that's the most conceited statement I've ever heard. Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock : But if she starts to interrupt, he just shrinks her back to pocket-size and puts her away. Coral 'Dusty' Chandler : I understand. What you're saying is: women are made to be loved. Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock : Is THAT what I'm saying? Coral 'Dusty' Chandler : Yes, it's a confession. A woman may drive you out of your mind, but you wouldn't trust her, and because you couldn't put her in your pocket, you get all mixed up. Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock : I'm the brass-knucks-in-the-teeth-to-dance-time type. Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock : You know, you do awful good. I came here to - but go ahead. Put Christmas in your eyes and keep your voice low. Tell me about paradise and all the things I'm missing. I haven't had a good laugh since before Johnny was murdered. Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock : Say, when you get on again as a professor at some college, and I'm back running my cabs in St. Louis, send me up a problem in algebra once in a while, will you? Sergeant Johnny Drake : Blonde or brunette? Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock : Redhead in a sloppy joe sweater. Sergeant Johnny Drake : I think you're a great guy, too, Rip, if that's what this conversation's about. Even in the U.S.A., this world. Captain Warren 'Rip' Murdock : Johnny, why don't you get rid of the grief you got for that blonde, whoever she is? Every mile we go, you sweat worse with the same pain. Didn't I tell you all females are the same with their faces washed? Movie Title: The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) as Fred C. Dobbs / Dobbs: Dobbs : Can you help a fellow American down on his luck? Dobbs : Nobody puts one over on Fred C. Dobbs! Dobbs : How much is 35,000 dollars times three? 105,000 dollars? I'll bet you 105,000 dollars that you go to sleep before I do. Howard : We've wounded this mountain. It's our duty to close her wounds. It's the least we can do to show our gratitude for all the wealth she's given us. If you guys don't want to help me, I'll do it alone. Bob Curtin : You talk about that mountain like it was a real woman. Fred C. Dobbs : She's been a lot better to me than any woman I ever knew. Keep your shirt on, old-timer. Sure, I'll help ya. Dobbs : You two guys musta been born in a revival meeting. Dobbs : Conscience. What a thing! If you believe you got a conscience it'll pester you to death. But if you don't believe you got one, what could it do t'ya? Makes me sick, all this talking and fussing about nonsense. Fred C. Dobbs : What a town. Tampico. Bob Curtin : You said it, brother. If I just could get me a job that would buy me passage, I'd shake it's dust off my feet soon enough, you bet. Fred C. Dobbs : You know, if I was a native, I'd get me a can of shoe polish and I'd be in business. They'd never let a gringo. You can sit on a bench 'till you're three-quarters starved, you can beg from another gringo, you can even commit burglary. You try shining shoes in the street, selling lemonade out of bucket, and your hash is settled. You'll never get another job from an American. Bob Curtin : Yeah, and the natives would hound and pester you to death. Fred C. Dobbs : Some town to be broke in. Bob Curtain : What town isn't? Fred C. Dobbs : I think I'll go to sleep and dream about piles of gold getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Fred C. Dobbs : This is the country where the nuggets of gold are just crying out for you to take them out of the ground and make 'em shine in coins on the fingers and necks of swell dames. Fred C. Dobbs : Hey, if there was gold in them mountains, how long would it have been there? Millions and millions of years, wouldn't it? What's our hurry? A couple of days, more or less, ain't gonna make a difference. Bob Curtin : Remember what you said back in Tampico about having to carry that old man on our backs? Fred C. Dobbs : That was when I took him for an ordinary human being, not part goat. Fred C. Dobbs : Any more lip out of you and I'll haul off and let you have it. If you know what's good for you, you won't monkey around with Fred C. Dobbs! Fred C. Dobbs : Why am I elected to go to the village? Why me instead of you and Curtin? Oh, don't think I don't see through that. You two've thrown in against me! The two days I'd be gone would give you plenty of time to discover where my goods are, wouldn't it? Howard : If you feel along those lines, why don't you take your goods with you? Fred C. Dobbs : And run the risk of having them taken from me by bandits? Howard : If you was to run into bandits, you'd be out of luck anyway. They'd kill you for the shoes on your feet. Fred C. Dobbs : Oh, so that's it. Everything's clear now. You're hoping bandits will get me. That would save you a lot of trouble, wouldn't it? And your consciences wouldn't bother you, neither! Bob Curtin : Wouldn't it be better, the way things are, to separate tomorrow, or even tonight? Fred C. Dobbs : That would suit you fine, wouldn't it? Bob Curtin : Why me more than you? Fred C. Dobbs : So you could fall on me from behind, sneak up and shoot me in the back. Bob Curtin : All right, I'll go first. Fred C. Dobbs : And wait for me on the trail to ambush me? [first lines] Dobbs : Say buddy, will you stake a fellow Am... Movie Title: Dark Passage (1947) as Vincent Parry: Vincent Parry : I don't feel chatty. Cabby : Some fares like to talk. Vincent Parry : Well I don't. Cabby : You always that way? Vincent Parry : Yep. That's why I don't have many friends. Cabby : Where do you want to go to? Vincent Parry : Might as well make it the police station. Cabby : Don't be like that. You're doing alright. You're doing fine. Vincent Parry : If it was easy for you to spot me, it'll be easy for others. Cabby : That's where you're wrong. Unless you'd be happier back in Quentin. Vincent Parry : Yeah, sure. That's why they send us up there. To make us happy. George Fellsinger : Madge framed you. Madge wanted to hook you, and when she found she couldn't have you, she framed you, sent you up for life. We both know that. Vincent Parry : My attorney couldn't shake her story. Maybe someday she'll get run over or something. George Fellsinger : That's what I pray for every night. Vincent Parry : I'm hiding. Detective : From what? Vincent Parry : My wife, my friends, my family, everybody. Detective : Now, it can't be as bad as all that. Vincent Parry : Well, I tell you what you do. You go up there and spend seven years with my wife, and then if you're still in your right mind, come back down here and tell me about it. Baker : I always had a good head for figures. Vincent Parry : My only interest in your head is how easy it'll crack open. Movie Title: The Maltese Falcon (1941) as Spade / Sam Spade: Sam Spade : I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble. Brigid O'Shaughnessy : I haven't lived a good life. I've been bad, worse than you could know. Sam Spade : You know, that's good, because if you actually were as innocent as you pretend to be, we'd never get anywhere. Wilmer Cook : Keep on riding me and they're gonna be picking iron out of your liver. Sam Spade : The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter, eh? Sam Spade : Ten thousand? We were talking about a lot more money than this. Kasper Gutman : Yes, sir, we were, but this is genuine coin of the realm. With a dollar of this, you can buy ten dollars of talk. Sam Spade : Haven't you tried to buy my loyalty with money and nothing else? Brigid O'Shaughnessy : What else is there I can buy you with? Spade : When a man's partner is killed, he's supposed to do something about it. It doesn't make any difference what you thought of him. He was your partner and you're supposed to do something about it. And it happens we're in the detective business. Well, when one of your organization gets killed, it's-it's bad business to let the killer get away with it, bad all around, bad for every detective everywhere. Spade : We didn't believe your story, Mrs. O'Shaughnessy, we believed your 200 dollars. I mean you paid us more than if you had been telling us the truth, and enough more to make it alright. Sam Spade : My guess might be excellent or it might be crummy, but Mrs. Spade didn't raise any children dippy enough to make guesses in front of a district attorney, and an assistant district attorney, and a stenographer. Sam Spade : When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it. Joel Cairo : You always have a very smooth explanation... Sam Spade : What do you want me to do, learn to stutter? Spade : I hope you're not letting yourself be influenced by the guns these pocket edition desperados are waving around, because I've practiced taking guns from these boys before so we'll have no trouble there. Sam Spade : You killed Miles and you're going over for it. [Last lines; Polhaus picks up the falcon] Detective Tom Polhaus : Heavy. What is it? Sam Spade : The, uh, stuff that dreams are made of. Detective Tom Polhaus : Huh? Sam Spade : I hope they don't hang you, precious, by that sweet neck. Yes, angel, I'm gonna send you over. The chances are you'll get off with life. That means if you're a good girl, you'll be out in 20 years. I'll be waiting for you. If they hang you, I'll always remember you. Brigid O'Shaughnessy : He has a wife and three children in England. Sam Spade : They usually do, though not always in England. Brigid O'Shaughnessy : Mr. Archer was so alive yesterday, so solid and hearty... Sam Spade : Stop it. He knew what he was doing. Those are the chances we take. Brigid O'Shaughnessy : Was he married? Sam Spade : Yeah, with ten thousand insurance, no children, and a wife that didn't like him. Brigid O'Shaughnessy : Help me. Sam Spade : You won't need much of anybody's help. You're good. Chiefly your eyes, I think, and that throb you get in your voice when you say things like 'Be generous, Mr. Spade.' Brigid O'Shaughnessy : I deserve that. But the lie was in the way I said it, not at all in what I said. It's my own fault if you can't believe me now. Sam Spade : Ah, now you are dangerous. Brigid O'Shaughnessy : I do know he always went heavily armed, and that he never went to sleep without covering the floor around his bed with crumpled newspapers, so that nobody could come silently into his room. Sam Spade : You picked a nice sort of a playmate. Brigid O'Shaughnessy : Only that sort could have helped me, if he'd been loyal. Joel Cairo : I am prepared to pay five thousand dollars for the figure's return. Do you have it? Sam Spade : No. Joel Cairo : But if it isn't here, why did you risk serious injury to prevent my searching for it? Sam Spade : Why should I sit around here and let people come in and stick me up? Joel Cairo : But certainly it is only natural that I try to save the owner such a considerable expense if possible. Sam Spade : People lose teeth talking like that. If you want to hang around, you'll be polite. Joel Cairo : I certainly wish you would have invented a more reasonable story. I felt distinctly like an idiot repeating it. Sam Spade : Don't worry about the story's goofiness. A sensible one would have had us all in the cooler. Sam Spade : All we've got is that maybe you love me and maybe I love you. Brigid O'Shaughnessy : You know whether you love me or not. Sam Spade : Maybe I do. I'll have some rotten nights after I've sent you over, but that'll pass. Sam Spade : You're a good man, sister. Sam Spade : Haven't you anything better to do than to keep popping in here early every morning and asking a lot of fool questions? Lt. Dundy : And gettin' a lot of lyin' answers! Sam Spade : Take it easy. Sam Spade : Here. [hands him Wilmer's guns] Sam Spade : You shouldn't let him go around with these on him, he might get himself hurt. Kasper Gutman : Well, well, what's this? Sam Spade : A crippled newsie took 'em away from him. I made him give 'em back. Sam Spade : You gotta convince me that you know what this is all about, that you aren't just fiddling around hoping it'll all... come out right in the end! Movie Title: In a Lonely Place (1950) as Dixon Steele: Mildred Atkinson : Before I started to go to work at Paul's, I used to think that actors made up their own lines. Dixon Steele : When they get to be big stars, they usually do. Dixon Steele : Nobody can call me the things he did. Laurel Gray : A blind, knuckle-headed squirrel. That's REAL bad. Dixon Steele : There's no sacrifice too great for a chance at immortality. Dixon Steele : I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me. Frances Randolph : Remember how I used to read to you? Dixon Steele : Uh huh. Since then, I've learned to read by myself. Dixon Steele : Go ahead and get some sleep and we'll have dinner together tonight. Laurel Gray : We'll have dinner tonight. But not together. Dixon Steele : It was his story against mine, but of course, I told my story better. Actress in Convertible : Dix Steele ! How are you? Don't you remember me? Dixon Steele : Sorry, can't say that I do. Actress in Convertible : You wrote the last picture I did...at Columbia Dixon Steele : Oh, I make it a point to never see pictures I write. [referring to the book Dixon is supposed to adapt into a screenplay] Mildred Atkinson : Oh I think it'll make a dreamy picture, Mr. Steele. What I call an epic. Dixon Steele : And what do you call an epic? Mildred Atkinson : Well, you know - a picture that's REAL long and has lots of things going on. Movie Title: The Barefoot Contessa (1954) as Harry Dawes: Harry Dawes : "Life, every now and then, behaves as though it had seen too many bad movies, when everything fits too well - the beginning, the middle, the end - from fade-in to fade-out." Movie Title: Deadline - U.S.A. (1952) as Ed Hutcheson: [Hutcheson looks at a picture of ex-wife Nora's boyfriend] Ed Hutcheson : I don't like him. I'll think of a reason later. Ed Hutcheson : It's not enough any more to give 'em just news. They want comics, contests, puzzles. They want to know how to bake a cake, win friends, and influence the future. Ergo, horoscopes, tips on the horses, interpretation of dreams so they can win on the numbers lottery. And, if they accidentally stumble on the first page... news! [last line] Ed Hutcheson : That's the press, baby. The press! And there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing! Ed Hutcheson : A profession is a performance for public good. That's why newspaper work is a profession Ed Hutcheson : About this wanting to be a reporter, don't ever change your mind. It may not be the oldest profession, but it's the best. Movie Title: The Petrified Forest (1936) as Duke Mantee: [Talking about signing his $5,000.00 life insurance policy over to Gabby.] Mrs. Edith Chisholm : You're in love with her, aren't you? Alan Squier : Yes, I suppose I am. And not unreasonably. She has heroic stuff in her. She may be one of the immortal women of France. Another Joan of Arc, George Sand, Madame Curie, or Du Barry. I want to show her that I believe in her, and how else can I do it? Living, I'm worth nothing to her. Dead, I can buy her the tallest cathedrals, golden vineyards, and dancing in the streets. One well-directed bullet will accomplish all that, and it'll earn a measure of reflected glory for him that fired it and him that stopped it. This document will be my ticket to immortality. It'll inspire people to say of me, "There was an artist who died before his time." Will you do it, Duke? Duke Mantee : I'll be glad to. Movie Title: High Sierra (1941) as Roy Earle: Roy Earle : I wouldn't give you two cents for a dame without a temper. Movie Title: The Roaring Twenties (1939) as George Halley / George Hally: Eddie Bartlett : You always said you were going to take real good care of me, didn't you George? George Halley : Wait a minute Eddie, I can explain! Eddie Bartlett : Here's one rap you ain't gonna beat! [fires twice] George Hally : I always say, when you got a job to do, get somebody else to do it. |
