 Al Pacino QuotationMovie Title: S1m0ne (2002) as Viktor: [to a group of reporters] Viktor : Simone appears only when I want her to appear. Viktor : I made her. Elaine : No, Viktor. She made YOU. Viktor : Do you know why I, Viktor Taransky, two-time Academy Award nominated director... Elaine : Viktor, that was short subjects. Viktor : ...overseeing the most cherished movie project of my entire career, am walking around with -- look, look, look -- pockets full of these... things? Elaine : Well, I have a feeling you're gonna tell me. Viktor : I'm gonna tell ya why. Because Miss Nicola Anders, supermodel with a SAG card, has it written in her contract that all cherry Mike and Ike's be removed from her candy dish, along with strict instructions that any room she walks into must have seven packs of cigarettes waiting for her, three of them open. That there be a personal Jacuzzi within eighty paces of her dressing room, and that any time she travels, her nanny must fly with her, first class. Elaine : So? What's wrong with that? Viktor : Elaine, she doesn't have children. Viktor : You know, it's easier to fool a hundred thousand people than just one. Viktor : She's indestructible. Viktor : Our ability to manufacture fraud now exceeds our ability to detect it. Viktor : Creative differences? The difference is, you're not creative. Movie Title: Two Bits (1995) as Gitano Sabatoni: Gitano Sabatoni : Ohhh... you stopped wanting. Ahhh, not needing. Gennaro : What's the difference? Gitano Sabatoni : Hey, it's all the difference in the world. Your belly needs. Your heart wants. That's the difference. Gitano Sabatoni : Can you see my house? Gennaro : Huh? Gitano Sabatoni : The house God is building for me. Is it finished yet? Gennaro : You can't really call it a house Grandpa. It's more like a palace. Gitano Sabatoni : Ahhh, really? Wh-What's it made of? Gennaro : It's made of gold. Gitano Sabatoni : Nah. Made of bricks. You see when you're born... God starts building a house for you in heaven. And every time you do a good deed, he puts a brick on your house. And when you do a bad deed, he takes a brick off. So, since I did more good in my life than bad, I think maybe my house almost finished. Gitano Sabatoni : Ohhh. I suffered enough without dyin', maybe I'm gonna die without suffering. Movie Title: Insomnia (2002) as Dormer: Dormer : You don't get it do you Finch? You're my job. You're what I'm paid to do. You're about as mysterious to me as a blocked toilet is to a fucking plumber. Reasons for doing what you did? Who gives a fuck? [Last line] Dormer : Let me sleep. Dormer : This guy crossed the line and didn't even blink. Dormer : Are you trying to impress me Finch? Because it ain't gonna work. Dormer : Randy, this whole thing you're doing, you know, this "fuck the world" act. Now that might work with your mama. It might even work with a couple of these local cops, who have known you long enough to figure you're too dumb ever to kill anyone without leaving a couple of witnesses and a signed confession. Ain't gonna work with me, because I know things, you understand? I know you beat your girlfriend. I know she was seeing somebody else. Somebody she might have even gone to see after she walked out on you Friday night. Now, you're gonna tell us who that somebody might be? Or are you so fucking stupid, you're going to leave yourself as the last person to see Kay Connell alive? [Going through the menu in a restaurant] Hap Eckhart : We got the Halibut Calabrese, the Halibut Olympian. Dormer : Keep going. Hap Eckhart : Halibut Cajun style. Dormer : I can't wait to see what they got for dessert. Det. Ellie Burr : So, I'm gonna just take you guys over to the lodge, and... Dormer : Just take us to the station. Det. Ellie Burr : Right. We need to get started. Most homicides are solved by work done in the first 72 hours. Dormer : Well, it's 48 hours. We're a day behind. But who's counting? Dormer : You shouldn't knock misdemeanors. Det. Ellie Burr : Oh, but it's small stuff. It gets so boring. Dormer : It's all about small stuff. You know, small lies, small mistakes. People give themselves away, same in misdemeanors as they do on murder cases. It's just human nature. Aren't you gonna write that down? Dormer : We better find out where this came from. Det. Ellie Burr : I tried. Mrs. Connell doesn't know, her friends didn't know. Dormer : Have you tried the jewelry stores? Small things, remember? The second you're about to dismiss something, think about it. Look at it again. Det. Ellie Burr : Want me to write that down? Dormer : No, I'll remember it. Movie Title: Frankie and Johnny (1991) as Johnny: Frankie : Why are you doing this? Johnny : Everything I want is in this room. Johnny : Now, there's a man and a woman. He's a cook. She's a waitress. Now, they meet and they don't connect. Only, she noticed him. He could feel it. And he noticed her. And they both knew it was going to happen. They made love, and for maybe one whole night, they forgot the 10 million things that make people think, I don't love this person, I don't like this person, I don't know this- Instead, it was perfect, and they were perfect. And that's all there was to know about. Only now, she's beginning to forget all that, and pretty soon he's going to forget it too. [doorbell rings] Tim : Are you expecting someone? Frankie : No. [doorbell rings again] Frankie : Hello, who is it? Johnny : Frankie? Frankie : Johnny? Tim : Ooh, I just got goosebumps. Movie Title: Cruising (1980) as Steve Burns: Nancy Gates : Why don't you want me anymore? Steve Burns : What I'm doing is affecting me. Movie Title: The Insider (1999) as Lowell Bergman: Lowell Bergman : You'd better look into it, because I'm getting two things: pissed off and curious. Mike Wallace : Who are these people? Lowell Bergman : Ordinary people under extraordinary pressure, Mike. What the hell do you expect? Grace and consistency? Jeffrey Wigand : I have to put my family's welfare on the line here, my friend! And what are you puttin' up? You're puttin' up words! Lowell Bergman : Words? While you've been dickin' around at some fucking company golf tournaments, I been out in the world, giving my word and backing it up with action. Jeffrey Wigand : I'm just a commodity to you, aren't I? I could be anything. Right? Anything worth putting on between commercials. Lowell Bergman : To a network, probably, we're all commodities. To me? You are not a commodity. What you are is important. Mike Wallace : In the real world, when you get to where I am, there are other considerations. Lowell Bergman : Like what? Corporate responsibility? What, are we talking celebrity here? Mike Wallace : I'm not talking celebrity, vanity, CBS. I'm talking about when you're nearer the end of your life than the beginning. Now, what do you think you think about then? The future? In the future I'm going to do this? Become that? What future? No. What you think is "How will I be regarded in the end?" After I'm gone. Now, along the way I suppose I made some minor impact. I did Iran-Gate and the Ayatollah, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Saddam, Sadat, etcetera, etcetera. I showed them thieves in suits. I've spent a lifetime building all that. But history only remembers most what you did last. And should that be fronting a segment that allowed a tobacco giant to crash this network? Does it give someone at my time of life pause? Yeah. Bergman's wife : You won. Lowell Bergman : Yeah. What did I win? Lowell Bergman : You pay me to go get guys like Wigand, to draw him out. To get him to trust us, to get him to go on television. I do. I deliver him. He sits. He talks. He violates his own fucking confidentiality agreement. And he's only the key witness in the biggest public health reform issue, maybe the biggest, most-expensive corporate-malfeasance case in U.S. history. And Jeffrey Wigand, who's out on a limb, does he go on television and tell the truth? Yes. Is it newsworthy? Yes. Are we gonna air it? Of course not. Why? Because he's not telling the truth? No. Because he is telling the truth. That's why we're not going to air it. And the more truth he tells, the worse it gets! Don Hewitt : The news division has been vilified in The New York Times, in print, on television, for caving to corporate interests! The New York Times ran a blow by blow of what we talked about behind closed doors! You fucked us! Lowell Bergman : No, you fucked you! Don't invert stuff! Big Tobacco tried to smear Wigand, you bought it. The Wall Street Journal, here, not exactly a bastion of anti-capitalist sentiment, refutes Big Tobacco's smear campaign as the lowest form of character assassination! And now, even now, when every word of what Wigand has said on our show is printed, the entire deposition of his testimony in a court of law in the State of Mississippi, the cat totally out of the bag, you're still standing here debating! Don, what the hell else do you need? Don Hewitt : Mike, you tell him. Mike Wallace : You fucked up, Don. Lowell Bergman : What do I tell the next source when the next tough story comes along, huh? 'Hang in with us, you'll be ok maybe'? What got broken here doesn't go back together. Lowell Bergman : I fought for you and I still fight for you! Jeffrey Wigand : You fought for me? You manipulated me! Into where I am now - staring at the Brown & Williamson building, it's all dark except for the tenth floor. That's the legal department, that's where they fuck with my life! Lowell Bergman : Jeffrey, where are you going with this? Where are you going? (Pause) You are important to a lot of people, Jeffrey. You think about that, and you think about them. (Pause) I'm all out of heroes, man. Guys like you are in short supply. Jeffrey Wigand : Yeah, guys like you, too. Lowell Bergman : I am trying to defend you, man. Jeffrey Wigand : Well I hope you improve your batting average. Jeffrey Wigand : How did a radical journalist from Ramparts Magazine end up at CBS? Lowell Bergman : I still do the tough stories. 60 Minutes reaches a lot of people. Lowell Bergman : I'm Lowell Bergmann, I'm from 60 Minutes. You know, you take the 60 Minutes out of that sentence, nobody returns your phone call. Richard Scruggs : I'd be lying to you if I did not tell you how important it was in a court of public opinion. Lowell Bergman : And I'd be lying if I did not tell, I'm about out of moves, Dick. Jeffrey Wigand : I can't seem to find the criteria to decide. I've still got a decision to make without being resolved in my own mind. Lowell Bergman : Maybe things have changed. Jeffrey Wigand : What's changed? Lowell Bergman : You mean since this morning? Jeffrey Wigand : No, I mean since whenever. Lowell Bergman : What does this guy have to say that threatens these people? Mike Wallace : Well, it isn't that cigarrettes are bad for you. Lowell Bergman : Hardly new news. Mike Wallace : No shit. Lowell Bergman : We've got a guy who wants to talk, but is constrained. What if he were compelled to talk? Mike Wallace : Oh good, torture. [Lowell got nervous when Jeff wont answer the phone] Lowell Bergman : Tell him this, the exact same words: "Get in the fucking phone!" The Hotel Worker: I can't say that. Lowell Bergman : Yes, you can. Tell him to get on the fucking phone! The Hotel Worker: He wants me to say to you: "Get on the... fucking phone!" Movie Title: Any Given Sunday (1999) as Tony D'Amato: Tony D'Amato : On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is - can you win or lose like a man? Tony D'Amato : I dont know what to say really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. All comes down to today, and either, we heal as a team, or we're gonna crumble. Inch by inch, play by play. Until we're finished. Tony D'Amato : We're in hell right now gentlemen. Believe me. And we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell... one inch at a time. Tony D'Amato : Now I can't do it for ya, I'm too old. I look around, I see these young faces and I think, I mean, I've made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I've pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who's ever loved me. And lately, I cant even stand the face I see in the mirror. Tony D'Amato : That's what a leader's about: sacrifice. The times he's gotta sacrifice because he's gotta lead, by example. Not by fear and not by self-pity. Tony D'Amato : You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying! Tony D'Amato : You're a goddamn quarterback! You know what that means? It's the top spot, kid. It's the guy who takes the fall. It's the guy everybody's looking at first - the leader of a team - who will support you when they understand you. Who will break their ribs and their noses and their necks for you, because they believe. 'Cause you make them believe. That's a quarterback. Tony D'Amato : "It's TV, it changed everything, changed the way we think forever. I mean the first time they stopped the game to cut away to some fucking commercial that was the end of it. Because it was our concentration that mattered, not theirs, not some fruitcake selling cereal." Tony D'Amato : If you're gonna be a loser, raise your hand. IF you're gonna act like a pussy, raise your hand. [Julian Washington stands up and raises his hand] Tony D'Amato : What the hell are you doing, J? Julian Washington : Well, I didn't want you to be the only pussy with your hand up, so I thought I'd help you out. Tony D'Amato : I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. And I know, if I'm gonna have any life any more it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that's what living is, the six inches in front of your face. Now I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think ya going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him. That's a team gentlemen, and either, we heal as a team, or we will die as individuals. That's football guys, that's all it is. Now what are you gonna do. Movie Title: Serpico (1973) as Frank Serpico: Frank Serpico : The reality is that we do not wash our own laundry -- it just gets dirtier. Frank Serpico : I'm a marked man in this department. For what? District Attorney Tauber : I've already arranged a transfer for ya'. Frank Serpico : To where? China? Tom Keough : Now I ain't sayin' who. They just said ya'... ya' couldn't be trusted, you know? Frank Serpico : 'Cause I don't take money, right? Tom Keough : Frank, let's face it. Who can trust a cop who don't take money? [Given a detective's gold badge.] Frank Serpico : What's this for? For bein' an honest cop? Hmm? Or for being stupid enough to get shot in the face? Gun shop owner: That gun takes a 14 shot clip. You expecting an army? Frank Serpico : No. Just a division. Movie Title: The Godfather: Part III (1990) as Michael Corleone: Michael Corleone : Just when I thought that I was out they pull me back in. [narrating letter to his children at opening of movie] Michael Corleone : "The only wealth in this world is children. More than all the money, power on the earth." Michael Corleone : Never hate your enemies. It affects your judgment. Michael Corleone : Never let anyone know what you are thinking. Michael Corleone : When they come... they come at what you love. Don Altobello : Treachery is everywhere. Michael Corleone : You still have your fingers on the strings, even now. Michael Corleone : Your enemies always get strong on what you leave behind. Michael Corleone : The higher I go, the crookeder it becomes. Michael Corleone : He'd better be careful. It's dangerous to be a honest man. Michael Corleone : Kay, I had a very different destiny planned for us. Michael Corleone : Do you still fear me Kay? Kay Corleone : I don't fear you Michael, I just dread you. Michael Corleone : I swear on the lives of my children, give me one last chance to redeem myself and I will sin no more. Don Lucchesi : It's not personal. It's business. Michael Corleone : Very well. You want to do business with me. I will do business with you. Connie : Now they'll fear you. Michael. Michael Corleone : Maybe they should fear YOU! Johnny Fontaine : It's your favorite song, Michael, where you going? Michael Corleone : I'm just gonna go into the kitchen and listen to some Tony Bennett records. Vincent Mancini : Well you tell him from me, that he can live, or he can die. Michael Corleone : Vincent, will you SHUT UP! Michael Corleone : [To Mary] I would burn in hell to keep you safe. Michael Corleone : Nephew, from this moment on, call yourself Vincent Corleone. Vincent Mancini : I am your son. Command me in all things. Michael Corleone : Give up my daughter. That is the price you pay for the life you choose. Movie Title: Dick Tracy (1990) as Big Boy Caprice: Big Boy Caprice : Around me, if a girl don't wear fur, she don't wear nuttin'. Breathless Mahoney : Well, I look good both ways. Big Boy Caprice : You get behind me, we all profit; you challenge me, we all go down! There was one Napoleon, one Washington, one me! Big Boy Caprice : All right, that's enough. I want this no-face character dead and I want Tracy dead. What's the matter, you bums forgotten how to kill people? Have you no sense of pride in what you do? No sense of duty, no sense of destiny? I'm looking for generals; what have I got? Foot soldiers! I want Dick Tracy dead! Big Boy Caprice : Wait a minute! Wait. Wait. I'm having a thought. Oh yes. Oh yes. I'm going to have a thought. It's coming. It's coming.... It's gone. Big Boy Caprice : Dick, Dick, I want to... I want to... crush your little head! No! No! I didn't mean that! I'm sorry! Big Boy Caprice : Don't tell me about my boys messing up the Tracy rub-out. They were being tested, they flunked. Now they're just flunkies, like you! I don't care if Tracy puts one and one together, you're still working for me. You're on my side. You're not out! You're NOT out! Whey you are dead, then you are out! You are mine, I own you! Big Boy Caprice : You know, Dick. You mind if I call you "Dick"? My associates here would very much like to see you have a little accident. But I tell 'em, no. I'll take care of Tracy myself, I tell 'em. You know why? I want you on my side! (takes out a wad of cash) And let me tell you what my side is. My side is a lifetime of action and adventure with no clock to punch. It's treating that gal of yours 100%. She should be treated like a princess. Protected like a baby. Dick Tracy : You gonna put ALL that money down there? Big Boy Caprice : Fifteen thousand clams. It's a deal. Welcome to new waters, Dick! We're gonna run one hell of a ship with you aboard. There's a big world up there, and it's up for sale. All of it. All we gotta do is to make sure that the people know I'm the one big enough to run it. Dick Tracy : And that you are guilty of attempting to bribe an officer of the law. Big Boy Caprice : You dumb dick! Big Boy Caprice : [after a former gangster ally's car explodes with him in it] Very upsetting. Big Boy Caprice : Look what you did to your pretty tuxedo. Lips Manless: Big Boy, ain't we pals? Ain't we pals Big Boy? Big Boy Caprice : No pals in this business, Lips. You taught me that. Big Boy Caprice : You're dirty, Lips. You need a bath. Lips Manless: Not *the bath*, Big Boy.

That was seven years ago. Michael Corleone : I know. I'm trying, darling. Kay Corleone : Oh, Michael. Michael, you are blind. It wasn't a miscarriage. It was an abortion. An abortion, Michael. Just like our marriage is an abortion. Something that's unholy and evil. I didn't want your son, Michael! I wouldn't bring another one of you sons into this world! It was an abortion, Michael! It was a son Michael! A son! And I had it killed because this must all end! [Michael's eyes begin to bulge] Kay Corleone : I know now that it's over. I knew it then.

Tom Hagen : He'll try Panama next. Michael Corleone : Panama won't take him. Not for a million, not for ten million. Michael Corleone : I don't feel I have to wipe everybody out, Tom. Just my enemies. Michael Corleone : I know it was you Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart! Michael Corleone : There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Michael Corleone : I'll change; I'll change. I've learned that I have the strength to change. Michael Corleone : If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can kill anyone. [About the unrest in Cuba] Michael Corleone : I saw a strange thing today. Some rebels were being arrested. One of them pulled the pin on a grenade. He took himself and the captain of the command with him. Now, soldiers are paid to fight; the rebels aren't. Hyman Roth : What does that tell you? Michael Corleone : It means they could win. Michael Corleone : Hyman Roth has been dying from the same heart attack for the last twenty years.

Tom Hagen : Mikey, after three and a half months... Michael : WHY CAN'T YOU GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER ANY MORE? WAS IT A BOY? [Kay is threatening to take the children away] Michael : Don't you know that I would use all of my power to prevent something like that from happening? Michael Corleone : C'mon Frankie... my father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected Hyman Roth. Frank Pentangeli : Your father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected Hyman Roth... but he never *trusted* Hyman Roth! Michael : I don't want anything to happen to him while my mother's alive.

God must have been a fuckin' genius. The hair... They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls... just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips... and when they touched, yours were like... that first swallow of wine... after you just crossed the desert. Tits. Hoo-hah! Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya, like secret searchlights. Mmm. Legs. I don't care if they're Greek columns... or secondhand Steinways. What's between 'em... passport to heaven. I need a drink. Yes, Mr Sims, there's only two syllables in this whole wide world worth hearing: pussy. Hah! Are you listenin' to me, son? I'm givin' ya pearls here. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : [shouting] I'm in the dark, here! Lt. Col. Frank Slade : HOO-HAH! Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Well, gentlemen, when the shit hits the fan, some guys run and some guys stay. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Oh, uh, Charlie - about your little problem - there are two kinds of people in this world: those who stand up and face the music, and those who run for cover. Cover is better.

Save your body language for the bimbi. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Out of order, I show you out of order. You don't know what out of order is, Mr. Trask. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too fuckin' blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place! Out of order? Who the hell do you think you're talkin' to? I've been around, you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But there isn't nothin' like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that. You think you're merely sending this splendid foot soldier back home to Oregon with his tail between his legs, but I say you are... executin' his soul! And why? Because he's not a Bairdman. Bairdmen. You hurt this boy, you're gonna be Baird bums, the lot of ya. And Harry, Jimmy, Trent, wherever you are out there, FUCK YOU TOO! Randy : You wanta know the truth? Lt. Col. Frank Slade : You got a handle on that, do you, Randy? Randy : He was an asshole before. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Whoo-ah! Randy : Now all he is is a blind asshole. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Whoo-ah. Randy : Hey, God's a funny guy. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : God doth have a sense of humor. Randy : Maybe God thinks some people don't deserve to see. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Whoo-ah. Hah! Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Tickets. Money. Speech. Old Washington joke... from my days with Lyndon. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Just call me Frank. Call me Mr. Slade. Call me... Colonel, if you must, just don't call me 'Sir'. Charlie Simms : All right. Colonel. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : You sharpshootin' me, punk? Is that what you're doin'? Don't you sharpshoot me! You'll give me forty. Then you're gonna give me forty more. Then you're gonna pull K.P., the grease pit! I'll rub your NOSE in enlisted men's CRUD till you don't know WHICH END IS UP! YOU UNDERSTAND? Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Your father pedals car telephones at a 300 percent markup. Your mother works on heavy commission at a camera store. Graduated to it from espresso machines. Hah! [pause] Lt. Col. Frank Slade : What are you, dying of some wasting disease? Charlie Simms : No, I'm right - I'm right here. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : I know exactly where your body is. What I'm looking for is some indication of a brain. Too much football without a helmet? Hah! Lyndon's line on Gerry Ford. Deputy debriefer, Paris, peace talks, '68. Snagged a silver star and a silver bar. Threw me into G-2. Charlie Simms : G-2? Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Intelligence. Of which you have none. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Can't believe they're my blood. I.Q. of sloths and the manners of banshees. He's a mechanic, she's a homemaker. He knows as much about cars as a beauty queen, and she bakes cookies, taste like wing nuts. As for the tots, they're twits. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : I don't know if Charlie's silence here today is right or wrong; I'm not a judge or jury. But I can tell you this: he won't sell anybody out to buy his future! Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Haven't you heard? CONSCIENCE is daihed. Charlie Simms : No, I haven't heard. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Well, then, take the fuckin' WAX outta your ears! GROW UP! It's fuck your buddy. Cheat on your wife. Call your mother on Mother's Day. Charlie, it's all shit. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Uh-oh, we got a moron here. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : How's your skin, son? Charlie Simms : My skin, sir? Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Oh, for Christ's sake. Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Touch me again, I'll kill ya, you little son-of-a-bitch! I touch you. Understand? Lt. Col. Frank Slade : Clear them little bottles off. And when I get off the phone here, call up Hyman and tell him I want it wall to wall with John Daniels. Charlie Simms : Don't you mean Jack Daniels? Lt. Col. Frank Slade : He may be Jack to you son, but when you've known him as long as I have... that's a joke. Movie Title: Heat (1995) as Vincent Hanna: Vincent Hanna : I don't know how to do anything else. Neil McCauley : Neither do I. Vincent Hanna : I don't much want to either. Neil McCauley : Neither do I. Vincent Hanna : I say what I mean, and I do what I say. Richard Torena : I could get killed for telling you this shit. Vincent Hanna : You could get killed walking your doggie! Vincent Hanna : You know, we are sitting here, you and I, like a couple of regular fellas. You do what you do, and I do what I gotta do. And now that we've been face to face, if I'm there and I gotta put you away, I won't like it. But I tell you, if it's between you and some poor bastard whose wife you're gonna turn into a widow, brother, you are going down. Neil McCauley : There is a flip side to that coin. What if you do got me boxed in and I gotta put you down? Cause no matter what, you will not get in my way. We've been face to face, yeah. But I will not hesitate. Not for a second. Vincent Hanna : It's like you said. All I am is what I'm going after. Vincent Hanna : So you never wanted a regular type life? Neil McCauley : What the fuck is that? Barbeques and ballgames? Vincent Hanna : My life's a disaster zone. I got a stepdaughter so fucked up because her real father's this large-type asshole. I got a wife, we're passing each other on the down-slope of a marriage - my third - because I spend all my time chasing guys like you around the block. That's my life. Neil McCauley : A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner." Now, if you're on me and you gotta move when I move, how do you expect to keep a... a marriage? Vincent Hanna : Once it escalated into a murder one beef for all of 'em after they killed the first two guards, they didn't hesitate. Popped guard number three because... what difference does it make? Why leave a living witness? Vincent Hanna : I'm angry. I'm very angry, Ralph. You know, you can ball my wife if she wants you to. You can lounge around here on her sofa, in her ex-husband's dead-tech, post-modernistic bullshit house if you want to. But you do not get to watch my fucking television set! Alan Marciano : Why'd I get mixed up with that bitch? Vincent Hanna : Cause she's got a great ass... and you got your head all the way up it! Vincent Hanna : I gotta hold on to my angst. I preserve it because I need it. It keeps me sharp, on the edge, where I gotta be. Justine Hanna : But you have to be present like a normal guy some of the time. That's sharing. This is not sharing, this is leftovers. Vincent Hanna : Alright, so what I should do is, uhm, come home and say "Hi Honey, guess what? I walked into this house today where this junkie asshole just fried his baby in a microwave because it was crying too loud, so let me share that with you." Vincent Hanna : Who? Who? What are you, a fucking owl? Justine Hanna : In a way, you're a party to this. Vincent Hanna : Oh yeah, I made Ralph fuck you because it makes me feel good. Albert Torena : Where's your empathy, brother? It's a substance abuse problem. Vincent Hanna : Empathy was yesterday. Today, you're wasting my motherfucking time. Vincent Hanna : When these guys walk out the door of whatever score they're gonna take next, they're gonna have the surprise of a lifetime. Vincent Hanna : Ferocious, aren't I? When I think of asses, a woman's ass, something comes out of me. Vincent Hanna : You saw a guy on the street, who's an ex-con? Richard: That's right Vincent Hanna : Well, I am over-fucking-whelmed. Movie Title: City Hall (1996) as Mayor John Pappas: Mayor John Pappas : Leslie, I'm going to speak at the little boy's funeral. James Bone's funeral. Advisor: I think that's a blueprint for trouble, sir. Mayor John Pappas : I don't care. It's the right thing to do; I'm going to do it. Leslie Christos : I don't think you'll be welcome there, Mr. Mayor. Mayor John Pappas : Well, they've got me anyway. Mayor John Pappas : I was warned not to come here. I was warned. They warned me, "Don't stand behind that coffin." But why should I heed such a warning, when a heartbeat is silent and a child lies dead? "Don't stand behind" this coffin. That boy was as pure and as innocent as the driven snow. But I must stand here, because I have not given you what you should have. Until we can walk abroad and recreate ourselves; until we can stroll along the streets like boulevards; congregate in parks free from fear, our families mingling, our children laughing, our hearts joined - until that day we have no city. You can label me a failure until that day. The first and perhaps only great mayor was Greek. He was Pericles of Athens, and he lived some 2500 years ago, and he said, "All things good on this Earth flow into the City, because of the City's greatness." Well, we were great once. Can we not be great again? Now, I put that question to James Bone, and there's only silence. Yet could not something pass from this sweet youth to me? Could he not empower me to find in myself the strength to have the knowledge to summon up the courage to accomplish this seemingly insurmountable task of making a city livable? Just livable. There was a palace that was a city. It was a PALACE! It was a PALACE and it CAN BE A PALACE AGAIN! A PALACE, in which there is no king or queen, or dukes or earls or princes, but subjects all: subjects beholden to each other, to make a better place to live. Is that too much to ask? Audience: No! Mayor John Pappas : Are we asking too much for this? Audience: No! Mayor John Pappas : Is it beyond our reach? Some Audience Members: No! Mayor John Pappas : Because if it is, then we are nothing but sheep being herded to the final SLAUGHTERHOUSE! I will not go down, THAT WAY! [The audience begins shouting approval] Mayor John Pappas : I choose to FIGHT BACK! I choose to RISE, not fall! I choose to LIVE, not die! And I know, I know that what's within me is also WITHIN YOU. Audience Member: Amen! Mayor John Pappas : That's why I ask you now to join me. Join me, RISE UP with me, RISE UP on the wings of this slain angel. [Audience members begin shouting "Yes" at every pause] Mayor John Pappas : We'll rebuild on the soul of this little warrior. We will pick up his standard and RAISE it high! Carry it forward until THIS CITY - YOUR CITY - OUR CITY - HIS CITY - IS A PALACE OF GOD! IS A PALACE OF GOD! I am with you, little James. I am you. Mayor John Pappas : Enough about me, enough about me. What are you going to do tonight, after I'm gone? Kevin Calhoun : Me? Mayor John Pappas : Yeah. Kevin Calhoun : I don't know, I hadn't thought about it. Mayor John Pappas : Well, you're going to get yourself a good meal. You're going to pass up that double cheeseburger from Roy Rogers, wherever it is you go; you're going go to Dominic's, and you're going to get takeout. On me. Get a decent meal there. But before you go to Dominic's, I want you to go to Macy's and get a chair. With legs, and arms. That apartment of yours looks like something that belongs in a homeless file. Oh, then it's off to Crate and Barrel for a knife, a fork, a spoon... oh, and a glass, while you're at it. Kevin Calhoun : Then I'll have to get a dishwasher. Mayor John Pappas : You don't have to wash them, just throw 'em out after you finish eating. It's on me. Get a life! Kevin Calhoun : I've got yours; it's quite enough. [Kevin suggests distancing themselves from a man in trouble] Mayor John Pappas : "Distance"! Distance is something you do to your enemies. It's a thing of the nineties, to make friends extinct. Distance... is the absence of menschkeit! Kevin Calhoun : Translate that for me. Mayor John Pappas : You don't know what menschkeit means? Kevin Calhoun : No, I don't. Mayor John Pappas : Menschkeit, you know... something between men... it's about honor, and character... untranslatable. That's why it's Yiddish. Kevin Calhoun : I didn't know you'd taken up the language. Mayor John Pappas : Abe laid it on me. Kevin Calhoun : Now there's four deaths, they're all connected, and that's all I know, that much I learned - Mayor John Pappas : [interrupting] And that's all I want to know! Kevin Calhoun : I'm just trying to circle the wagons here, John. Mayor John Pappas : Circle the wagons? What do you th - Who do you think you are? Some gumshoe in a dime novel, loose-cannoning around the city? Consorting with known mobsters? Kevin, for God's sakes! [long pause] Mayor John Pappas : You see this desk? This desk belonged to Fiorello La Guardia, "the Little Flower". He was about 5 foot tall, used to read the funny papers to his constituents' children over the radio, and was about the best goddamned mayor this city ever had. You know what La Guardia said? "Why is it, every time you can do some good, the nice people come in and mess you up?" Kevin... be nice, don't mess me up. Mayor John Pappas : Be careful how you judge people, most of all friends. You don't sum up a man's life in one moment. There are no cold answers, are there? There's no simple yes or no. A man's life is not the bricks, it's the mortar, pappy, it's the stuff that lays between, the stuff... the stuff you can't see. I've known Walter my whole life. God, the man is - he's a decent man, he's a good man. Kevin Calhoun : This is tough stuff. This is body bag stuff. You tell me, if there's some other way. Mayor John Pappas : There isn't. The die's been cast; it was cast a long time ago. Go easy: give him a blindfold and have mercy. Walter Stern was a tough man, but he was fair. We give back the same, no? [heading into a press conference] Kevin Calhoun : You look good. Mayor John Pappas : Of course - I'm the mayor. Mayor John Pappas : Lyndon Johnson said, "Everybody will give you ideas on how to get out of trouble cheaply and fast. And they all come down to this: deny your responsibility." John F. Kennedy said, "An error doesn't have to become a mistake, until you refuse to correct it." Mayor John Pappas : You want an answer? Okay, pappy, think of it as colors. There's black, and there's white, and in between is mostly gray. That's us. Now gray is a tough color, because it's not as simple as black and white - and for the media, certainly not as interesting. But... it's what we are. Kevin Calhoun : If I didn't know better, I'd be bursting with admiration. I thought I'd come here and find you on your knees; instead you're ready to turn adversity into triumph. Mayor John Pappas : Oh, it's just a reflex, an old habit of mine. But it's still good to hear you say it... the way you say it, too. "Adversity into triumph." Good to you know still believe in me. Kevin Calhoun : Did I say that? Movie Title: Angels in America (2003) as Roy Cohn: Roy Cohn : I have sex with men. But unlike nearly every other man of whom this is true, I bring the guy I'm screwing to the White House and President Reagan smiles at us and shakes his hand. Roy Cohn : You don't know what all I know. *I* don't know what all I know. Half this shit I make up and I'm still right, learned that in the 50's. Roy Cohn : [on why he wanted Ethel Rosenberg to get the death sentence] I would have pulled the switch if they let me. Why? Because I hate traitors. I HATE communists. Was it legal? FUCK legal. Not nice? Fuck nice. The nation says I'm not nice? FUCK THE NATION. Do you wanna be NICE? Or you wanna be EFFECTIVE? [Ethel Rosenberg walks into the room] Roy Cohn : Aw fuck. Ethel. Ethel Rosenberg : You don't look good, Roy. Roy Cohn : Well, Ethel. I don't feel good. Ethel Rosenberg : But you lost a lot of weight. That suits you. You were heavy back then. Zaftig, mit hips. Roy Cohn : I haven't been that heavy since 1960. We were all heavier back then, before the body thing started. Now I look like a skeleton. They stare. Ethel Rosenberg : The shit's really hit the fan, huh, Roy? Well the fun's just started. Roy Cohn : What is this Ethel, Halloween? You trying to scare me? Well you're wasting your time! I'm scarier than you any day of the week! So beat it, Ethel! Boo! Better dead than red! Somebody trying to shake me up? HAH HAH! From the throne of God in heaven to the belly of hell, you can all fuck yourselves and then go jump in the lake because I'm not afraid of you or death or hell or anything! Ethel Rosenberg : Be seeing you soon, Roy. Julius sends his regards. Roy Cohn : Yeah, well send this to Julius! [Roy flips her the bird] Ethel Rosenberg : You're a very sick man, Roy. Roy Cohn : I have all the time in the world. Ethel Rosenberg : You're immortal. Roy Cohn : I'm immortal. Ethel. I have forced my way into history. I ain't never gonna die. Ethel Rosenberg : History is about to crack wide open. Millenium approaches. Roy Cohn : [under the impression that Belize is the Angel of Death] Let me ask you something, sir. Belize : [going along with it] "Sir"? Roy Cohn : What's it like? After? Belize : After...? Roy Cohn : This misery ends? Belize : Hell or heaven? [Roy indicates "Heaven" through a glance] Belize : Like San Francisco. Roy Cohn : A city. Good. I was worried... it'd be a garden. I hate that shit. Belize : Mmmm. Big city. Overgrown with weeds, but flowering weeds. On every corner a wrecking crew and something new and crooked going up catty corner to that. Windows missing in every edifice like broken teeth, fierce gusts of gritty wind, and a gray high sky full of ravens. Roy Cohn : Isaiah. Belize : Prophet birds, Roy. Piles of trash, but lapidary like rubies and obsidian, and diamond-colored cowspit streamers in the wind. And voting booths. Roy Cohn : And a dragon atop a golden horde. Belize : And everyone in Balencia gowns with red corsages, and big dance palaces full of music and lights and racial impurity and gender confusion. And all the deities are creole, mulatto, brown as the mouths of rivers. Race, taste and history finally overcome. And you ain't there. Roy Cohn : And Heaven? Belize : That was Heaven, Roy. Roy: The fuck it was. Roy Cohn : [Referring to his heart] Tough little muscle. Never bleeds. Roy Cohn : AIDS. Homosexual. Gay. Lesbian. You think these are names that tell you who a person sleeps with, but they don't tell you that. Henry : No? Roy Cohn : No. Like all labels they tell you one thing, and one thing only: Where does an individual so identified fit into the food chain, the pecking order? Not ideology or sexual taste, but something much simpler: clout. Not who I fuck or who fucks me, but who will come to the phone when I call, who owes me favors. This is what a label refers to. Now to someone who does not understand this, a homosexual is what I am because I have sex with men, but really this is wrong. A homosexual is somebody who, in 15 years of trying cannot get a pissant anit-discrimination bill through the city council. A homosexual is somebody who knows nobody and who nobody knows. Who has zero clout. Does this sound like me Henry? Belize : [seeing that Roy appears dead] Is he... Ethel Rosenberg : Mm hmm. Roy Cohn : [rising from his bed] No I'm not! I fooled you, Ethel! I knew it was you the whole time! I can't believe you actually feel for that Mom stuff! I just wanted to see if I could finally, FINALLY, make Ethel Rosenberg sing! I win! [He starts to flatline again] Roy Cohn : Oh... fuck. Movie Title: Scarecrow (1973) as Lion: Lion : Scarecrows are beautiful. Movie Title: Donnie Brasco (1997) as Lefty Ruggiero / Lefty: Lefty : I never hear from my boss until he dies, then my whole life gets turned upside down! Lefty : When they send for you, you go in alive, you come out dead, and it's your best friend that does it. Lefty : How much money did you give that guy? A wiseguy never pays for his drinks. Lefty Ruggiero : Thirty years I'm busting my hump. What have I got? Lefty : I'm a spoke on a wheel. I am, and so are you. Lefty : And listen to me, if Donnie calls... , tell him... if it was gonna be anyone, I'm glad it was him. All right? Lefty : A wise guy's always right even when he's wrong, he's right. Lefty : If anything should happen to me... make sure Annette gets the car. Lefty : There's the boss. And, under him, there's the skipper. You know how this works? Donnie Brasco : Yeah, it's like in the army. Lefty : Bullshit. The army is some guy you don't know telling you to go whack some other guy you don't know. Lefty : I die with you, Donnie. Donnie Brasco : You think I'm a rat...? Lefty : How many times have I had you in my house? If you're a rat, then I'm the biggest mutt in the history of the Mafia. Sonny Black : You know what we do when we find that rat, right, Lefty? Lefty : 'Could be I found him already. [repeated line] Lefty : I think I just shit my pants. Lefty : I got cancer of the prick. Lefty : Whose dat guy? Nicky : That's Donnie, Don da'jeweler. Movie Title: Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) as Ricky Roma: Ricky Roma : How was her crumbcake? Shelley Levene : Hmm? Oh... storebought. Ricky Roma : Fuck her. Ricky Roma : They say that it was so hot in the city today, grown men were walking up to cops on street corners begging them to shoot. [After learning that the Lingk sale has been filed] Ricky Roma : You filed it, that puts me over the fuckin' top, I want my Cadillac. I don't wanna hear no fuckin' shit and I don't give a shit. Lingk puts me over the top. You filed it, it went downtown, now you owe me the car. Ricky Roma : All train compartments smell vaguely of shit. It gets so you don't mind it. That's the worst thing that I can confess. You know how long it took me to get there? A long time. When you die you're going to regret the things you don't do. You think you're queer? I'm going to tell you something: we're all queer. You think you're a thief? So what? You get befuddled by a middle-class morality? Get shut of it. Shut it out. You cheated on your wife? You did it, live with it. You fuck little girls, so be it. There's an absolute morality? Maybe. And then what? If you think there is, then be that thing. Bad people go to hell? I don't think so. If you think that, act that way. A hell exists on earth? Yes. I won't live in it. That's me. You ever take a dump made you feel like you'd just slept for twelve hours? Ricky Roma : WHAT YOU'RE HIRED FOR, is to help us... does that seem clear to you? TO HELP US, not to... FUCK-US-UP... to help those who are going out there to try to earn a living... You fairy. You company man. Ricky Roma : You never open your mouth until you know what the shot is. George Aaronow : When I talk to the police I get nervous. Ricky Roma : Yes. You know who doesn't? George Aaronow : Who? Ricky Roma : Thieves. [Ricky Roma gets a lead from Williamson with a familiar "deadbeat" name] Ricky Roma : "Patel"? Ravadem "Patel" How am I gonna make a livin' on these deadbeats? Where did you get this one from the morgue? Williamson : Look I'm... Ricky Roma : Oh come on, what's the point? What's the fucking point in any case I gotta argue with you, I gotta knock heads with the cops, I'm busting my balls sell your dirt to deadbeats. [waves the Lead] Ricky Roma : Money in the Madras. Ricky Roma : You stupid fucking cunt. Hey, Williamson, I'm talking to you, shithead. You just caused me $6,000. Six thousand dollars, and one Cadillac. That's right. What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it, asshole. You're fucking shit. Where did you learn your trade, you stupid fucking cunt, you idiot? Who ever told you that you could work with men? Williamson : [handing Roma lead cards] I'm giving you three leads... Ricky Roma : Three? I count two. Williamson : There's three leads there. Ricky Roma : "Patel"? Fuck you. Fucking Shiva handed this guy a million dollars, said "Sign the deal!" he wouldn't sign. And the god Vishnu too. Fuck you, John! You know your business, I know mine. Your business is being an asshole. I find out whose fucking cousin you are, I'm going to go to him and figure out a way to have your a - fuck you. Movie Title: The Devil's Advocate (1997) as John Milton: John Milton : A woman's shoulders are the front lines of her mystique, and her neck, if she's alive, has all the mystery of a border town. A no-man's land in that battle between the mind and the body. John Milton : Who, in their right mind Kevin, could possibly deny the twentieth century was entirely mine. Kevin Lomax : "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven", is that it? John Milton : Why not? I'm here on the ground with my nose in it since the whole thing began. I've nurtured every sensation man's been inspired to have. I cared about what he wanted and I never judged him. Why? Because I never rejected him, in spite of all his imperfections. I'm a fan of man. I'm a humanist. Maybe the last humanist. John Milton : Don't get too cocky my boy. No matter how good you are don't ever let them see you coming. That's the gaffe my friend. You gotta keep yourself small. Innocuous. Be the little guy. You know, the nerd... the leper... shit-kickin' surfer. Look at me. [stops and pauses] John Milton : Underestimated from day one. You'd never think I was a master of the universe, now would ya? [In Milton's Penthouse] Kevin Lomax : [quietly] Is there more to it? Eddie Barzoon : Just this room. Kevin Lomax : And a bedroom? Eddie Barzoon : No bedroom. Kevin Lomax : Where does he sleep? Eddie Barzoon : Who said he sleeps? Kevin Lomax : Where does he fuck? John Milton : [coming up to them] Everywhere. John Milton : Are we negotiating? Kevin Lomax : Always. John Milton : Let me give you a little inside information about God. God likes to watch. He's a prankster. Think about it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift, and then what does He do, I swear for His own amusement, his own private, cosmic gag reel, He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. Look but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, don't swallow. Ahaha. And while you're jumpin' from one foot to the next, what is he doing? He's laughin' His sick, fuckin' ass off. He's a tight-ass. He's a sadist. He's an absentee landlord. Worship that? Never. John Milton : Freedom, baby... is never having to say you're sorry. John Milton : Guilt is like a bag of fuckin' bricks. All ya gotta do is set it down. Kevin Lomax : What about love? John Milton : Overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate. John Milton : The worst vice is advice. John Milton : Vanity, definitely my favorite sin. John Milton : You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire; you build egos the size of cathedrals; fiber-optically connect the world to every eager impulse; grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green, gold-plated fantasies, until every human becomes an aspiring emperor, becomes his own God... and where can you go from there? John Milton : Free will, it is a bitch. John Milton : Look at me - underestimated from Day One. You'd never think I was a master of the universe, now, would you? John Milton : I'm the hand up Mona Lisa's skirt. I'm a surprise, Kevin. They don't see me coming: that's what you're missing. John Milton : It's your wife, man. She's sick, she needs you... she's got to come first. Ah, wait a minute, wait a minute. You mean the possibility of leaving this case has never even entered you mind? Kevin Lomax : You know what scares me? I quit the case, she gets better... and I hate her for it. I don't want to resent her, John, I've got a winner here. I've got to nail this fucker down, do it fast, and put it behind me. Just get it done. Then - then. - put all my energy into her. John Milton : I stand corrected. John Milton : And as we're straddling from one deal to the next, who's got his eye on the planet, as the air thickens, the water sours, and even the bees' honey takes on the metallic taste of radioactivity? And it just keeps coming, faster and faster. There's no chance to think, to prepare; it's buy futures, sell futures, when there is no future. John Milton : Free will. It's like butterfly wings: once touched, they never get off the ground. No, I only set the stage. You pull your own strings. Kevin Lomax : What are you? John Milton : Oh, I have so many names... Kevin Lomax : Satan. John Milton : Call me Dad. John Milton : [chanting in Latin] Diabole vertses en un veses. Diabole vertses en un veses. [continues chant in English] John Milton : The virtue of the devil is in his loins. Kevin Lomax : In the Bible you loose. We're destined to lose dad. John Milton : Well consider the source son. Kevin Lomax : Lose? I don't lose! I win! I'm a lawyer, that's my job, that's what I do! John Milton : I rest my case. John Milton : Your vanity is well-placed. Your son will sit at the head of all tables. Kevin Lomax : The Anti-Christ? John Milton : [laughing] Whatever... John Milton : What about you? Your family, you gotta miss 'em. [Mary Ann shakes her head no] John Milton : No? Mary Ann Lomax : I told Kevin the only thing worse than not having a father was having mine. John Milton : I can relate. I can, believe me. Kevin Lomax : God damnit, what did you do to my wife? John Milton : Well, on a scale of one to ten... ten being the most depraved act of sexual theatre know to man... one being your average Friday night run-through at the Lomaxes' household... I'd say, not to be immodest, Mary Ann and I got it on at about... seven. John Milton : There's this beautiful girl just fucked me forty ways from Sunday... we're done, she's walking to the bathroom, she's trying to walk, she turns... she looks... it's me. Not the Trojan army just fucked her. Little ol' me. She gets this look on her face like: "How the hell did that happen?" John Milton : Are we treating you good. Kevin Lomax : Yeah, everything's been great. John Milton : We treat you with kindness, that's our secret [grins] Movie Title: The Godfather (1972) as Michael: Michael : My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator. Kay Adams : Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed. Michael : Oh. Who's being naive, Kay? Michael : That's my family, Kay. It's not me.
