Alley Thug: All right, you want it in the chest, or the head?
Joe Hallenbeck: Yeah, that's what your wife said.
Alley Thug: Hey, would you stop with the wife shit?
Joe Hallenbeck: Ask me how fat she is.
Alley Thug: Fuck you, man! How fat is she?
Joe Hallenbeck: She's so fat I had to roll her in flour and look for the wet spot. Motherfucker, if you wanna fuck her you gotta slap her thigh and ride the wave in. Now I'm not saying she's fat, her high school picture was an aerial photograph. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
| Joe Hallenbeck: This is the '90s. You don't just go around punching people. You have to say something cool first. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
| Jimmy Dix: I figure you gotta be the dumbest guy in the world, Joe. You're trying the save the life of the man who ruined your career, and avenge the death of the guy that fucked your wife. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Joe Hallenbeck: Leather pants.
Jimmy Dix: Yeah.
Joe Hallenbeck: What's something like that run?
Jimmy Dix: Six-fifty.
Joe Hallenbeck: Six hundred and fifty dollars?
Jimmy Dix: Yeah.
Joe Hallenbeck: They're pants.
Jimmy Dix: Yeah.
Joe Hallenbeck: You wear them?
Jimmy Dix: YES.
Joe Hallenbeck: They don't, like, have a TV in them or something?
Jimmy Dix: Nope.
Joe Hallenbeck: I am very old. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Milo: Can we get a formal introduction?
Joe Hallenbeck: Who gives a fuck? You're the bad guy, right?
Milo: I am the bad guy.
Joe Hallenbeck: And I'm supposed to be trembling with fear, something like that?
Milo: Something like that.
Joe Hallenbeck: Fine, I'll start trembling in a minute. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
[Jimmy is being approached by a bunch of goons]
Jimmy Dix: Right now, I'm trying to figure out which one of you looks the most like my dick. If you got something to say, say it. Otherwise get the fuck outta here. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Jimmy Dix: Maybe I could take your daughter horseback riding. How old is she?
Joe Hallenbeck: She's 13, and if you even look at her funny I'm gonna shove an umbrella up your ass and open it. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Joe Hallenbeck: You don't think the cops can help you?
Cory: Sure, after I'm dead they'll perform the autopsy. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
| Darian Hallenbeck: What the hell is that number on the back of your head? What is that, like a license plate in case someone tries to steal it? (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
| Jimmy Dix: [to himself] Okay, what would Joe do at a time like this? He'd kill everybody and smoke some cigarettes. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
[Joe Hallenbeck wakes up in his car and stares at his grubby reflection in the mirror]
Joe Hallenbeck: Nobody likes you. Everybody hates you. You're gonna lose. Smile, you fuck. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Jimmy Dix: Man, you couldn't protect a cup of warm piss.
[throws ice at Joe]
Joe Hallenbeck: Why don't you just go ahead and hit me?
Jimmy Dix: Excuse me?
Joe Hallenbeck: Come on, chicken shit. Bust me in the chops. You don't think an old guy like me could hurt ya, do ya Jimmy?
Jimmy Dix: So now you know my name?
Joe Hallenbeck: James Alexander Dix. Quarterback for the L.A. Stallions, '89-'90. Banned from the league on gambling charges, allegations of drug abuse. Another tragic tale of wasted youth.
Jimmy Dix: [stands up from his chair] Now you're starting to piss me off.
Joe Hallenbeck: It's about fuckin' time. I'm Joe Hallenbeck.
Joe Hallenbeck: [Joe reaches out his hand, Jimmy slaps it] I'm a private detective.
Jimmy Dix: You're like a fuckin' lowlife to me.
Joe Hallenbeck: At least I didn't shit my talent away on coke.
[Jimmy tries to punch Joe, who subsequently blocks his punch and pushes him on the ground]
Joe Hallenbeck: [noticing his spilled whiskey] I spilled my warm cup of piss. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
McCoskey: Good morning, gentlemen. Is there a problem?
Milo: Yes, officer. As a matter of fact there is a problem. Apparently there are too many bullets in this gun.
[uses the gun to kill the officer] (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
| Mike Mathews: [about Cory] She's hot, Joe. She rates a three on my finger scale. That means I'd cut off three of my fingers if God would let me fuck her. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
[Joe has just found out that Mike was sleeping with his wife]
Mike Mathews: Look Joe, it just happened.
Joe Hallenbeck: Sure, sure, it just happened. Could happen to anybody. It was an accident, right? You tripped, fell on the floor and accidently stuck your dick into my wife. "Oops, I'm sorry, Mrs. H, I guess this just isn't my week". (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
[Joe Hallenbeck is talking to a puppet on his hand]
Joe Hallenbeck: [speaking as puppet] Why did Mr. Milo cross the road?
Joe Hallenbeck: I don't know. Why?
Joe Hallenbeck: [speaking as puppet] Because his dick was stuck in the chicken. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Alley Thug: Wrong place, wrong time. Nothing personal.
Joe Hallenbeck: That's what you think. Last night I fucked your wife.
Alley Thug: Oh you did, hah? How'd you know it was my wife?
Joe Hallenbeck: She said her husband was a big pimp lookin' motherfucker with a hat.
Alley Thug: Oh, you're real cool for somebody who's about to take a bullet.
Joe Hallenbeck: After fucking your wife I'll take two. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Jimmy Dix: It ain't right.
Joe Hallenbeck: No, it ain't right.
[sighs]
Joe Hallenbeck: This ain't no game, flash. Real guns, real bullets. It's dangerous.
Jimmy Dix: Danger's my middle name.
Joe Hallenbeck: Mine's Cornelius. You tell anybody, I'll kill you.
Jimmy Dix: You ever watch "Soul Train"?
Joe Hallenbeck: Shut the fuck up. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Lieutenant Benjamin Bessalo: There's a new invention out. It's called the razor.
Joe Hallenbeck: Too risky, I might start thinkin' about you and slash my wrists. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Milo: You think you are so fucking cool, don't you? You think you are so fucking cool. But just once, I would like to hear you scream in pain...
Joe Hallenbeck: Play some rap music. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Joe Hallenbeck: Where are you goin'?
Jimmy Dix: To the bathroom, okay. You wanna come? The doc said I shouldn't lift anything heavy.
Joe Hallenbeck: No, I'll pass. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Jimmy Dix: She gets evidence to use against 'em, right?
Joe Hallenbeck: That's right.
Jimmy Dix: So now we have the evidence.
Joe Hallenbeck: What we got, Junior, is Marcone and Baynard by the nuts and that is why I love America. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Scrabble Man: Drop the gun, Hallenbeck.
[takes Joe's gun and tosses it]
Scrabble Man: Bit late for a stroll, don't you think?
Joe Hallenbeck: Yeah, you girls oughta be gettin' home.
Jimmy Dix: Yeah, streetlights are on.
Jake: Shut up fuckface.
Joe Hallenbeck: I'm fuckface, he's asshole.
[Jimmy smiles sarcastically, in agreement]
Scrabble Man: Jake?
[Jake punches Joe in the face]
Scrabble Man: Advise Rodney Dangerfield here of the situation. Perhaps we can dispense with the fun and games now, yes?
Joe Hallenbeck: You want the envelope, right?
Scrabble Man: The envelope, very smart. See Jake, here is a man who knows when a situation is untenable.
Joe Hallenbeck: Good word.
Scrabble Man: You like that word? And you do have that envelope, don't you?
Joe Hallenbeck: Better give up, Jimmy. We're dealin' with a couple of geniuses here.
[Jake punches Joe in the face]
Jimmy Dix: Hey man, just leave him the fuck alone.
[Jake kicks Jimmy in the groin]
Scrabble Man: Leave him alone? Yeah, sure Jimmy. Whatever you say. Jake here takes his job with a certain exuberance.
Jimmy Dix: Shit, we're being beat up by the inventor of scrabble.
Scrabble Man: He's in a good mood, Jake. Kick 'em again.
Joe Hallenbeck: All right. You want the envelope the hooker had, right?
Jimmy Dix: She wasn't a hooker, Joe.
Joe Hallenbeck: Shut the fuck up. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Joe Hallenbeck: Hey flash, rescue attempt?
Jimmy Dix: Blow me.
Milo: You must be James.
Jimmy Dix: [sarcastically] James?
Joe Hallenbeck: He does that with everybody. He calls me Joseph.
Milo: I trust you're alone.
Jimmy Dix: No, I got the fuckin' Vienna Boys Choir with me. What, is everybody stupid around here?
[thug slams his head into car bonnet]
Joe Hallenbeck: Just you, kid. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Jimmy Dix: What, you don't believe in love?
Joe Hallenbeck: Yeah, I believe in love; I also believe in cancer.
Jimmy Dix: What, they're both diseases?
Joe Hallenbeck: Yeah, something like that. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Joe Hallenbeck: [Joe doesn't like the music being played at the strip club where Cory works] This the only kind of music they play in this joint?
Cory: Mm-hm.
Joe Hallenbeck: I hate this funk shit. I'll have to charge you extra.
Cory: What did you expect?
Joe Hallenbeck: The Four Freshmen. Pat Boone.
Cory: What are you, my father?
Joe Hallenbeck: Yeah, I'm your father. Go put some clothes on.
Cory: You're hilarious.
[Gets up to leave]
Cory: Go stick your head in that speaker. You'll be screaming, "Play that funky music, white boy!"
Joe Hallenbeck: The screaming part, I believe. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Joe Hallenbeck: Hey, you got a car here? Hey! You got a car?
Pool Owner: Yeah.
Joe Hallenbeck: Give me the keys.
Pool Owner: No way.
Joe Hallenbeck: [Holds his gun to Darian's head] Give me the keys or I shoot the kid. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Jimmy Dix: [Jimmy has just survived being thrown off an overpass and is now trying to calm startled motorists] It's okay. It's okay, folks. It's okay. It's okay. Thank you. Thank you. Danger is my middle name. Don't try this at home, folks. I'm a trained professional. There's me, and there's Super Dave.
[Passes out] (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Joe Hallenbeck: [Joe is convinced Sarah is hiding anther man in their bedroom closet] That door stays shut. What I'm going to do is count to three. Then I'm going to put a bullet in that door.
Sarah Hallenbeck: Jesus.
Joe Hallenbeck: You can stop me any time by telling the truth.
[Cocks gun]
Joe Hallenbeck: One...
Sarah Hallenbeck: Call your shrink, Joe! Call him and tell him that you're fucking losing it!
Joe Hallenbeck: The truth is a beautiful thing. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Mike Mathews: [Mike is trying to offer Joe a case] So listen, I'm booked. You got plans?
Joe Hallenbeck: I'm thinking about somking some cigarettes.
Mike Mathews: Could you postpone?
Joe Hallenbeck: These are pretty good cigarettes. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Jimmy Dix: Hey, man. You ever play ball? You've got a good build.
Joe Hallenbeck: What are you, a fag?
Jimmy Dix: No, I'm just trying to break the ice.
Joe Hallenbeck: I like ice. Leave it the fuck alone.
Jimmy Dix: Oh, you're a lot of fun to be with. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
[On pulling up to Joe Hallenbeck's home]
Jimmy Dix: Wow, an actual house. I was expecting a cave with like skulls and shit. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
[Joe gets to his office, after waking up next to a dead squirrel a bunch of kids threw in his car]
Mike Matthews: What'd you do last night?
Joe Hallenbeck: I think I fucked a squirrel to death, and don't remember. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Jimmy Dix: It's called a vocabulary. You got one of those?
Joe Hallenbeck: Sorry, my subscription to JUGGS magazine ran out. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Jimmy Dix: Come one, Cory, let's go.
Cory: Wait, I gotta wait for Hallenbeck.
Jimmy Dix: Are you in some kind of trouble?
Cory: It's nothing serious, let's just wait for Hallenbeck.
Jimmy Dix: Is there some guy bothering you?
Cory: Seriously, let's just wait for Hallenbeck.
Jimmy Dix: Hallenbeck's a bum. What's he gonna do, light a match and breathe on the guy? (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Joe Hallenbeck: Can I have a cigarette?
Chet: A cigarette? Yeah sure.
[gives him one]
Joe Hallenbeck: Got a light?
Chet: Yeah, got a light.
[pretends to give him a light and punches him instead]
Chet: Hey baby I thought you were tough. See Pablo, he's no sweat!
Joe Hallenbeck: I seem to have dropped my cigarette. May I have another?
Chet: [hesitates] Sure, sure thing buddy.
[gives him another cigarette]
Joe Hallenbeck: I'm gonna need a light. You touch me again, I'll kill ya. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Jimmy Dix: I'm saying again for the cheap seats, Lieutenant. I DON'T KNOW WHERE JOE HALLENBECK IS! That's my fucking statement! Write it down and shove it up your ass.
Lieutenant Benjamin Bessalo: I could nail you for obstruction.
Jimmy Dix: You couldn't nail a two dollar whore. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Jimmy Dix: Hey, ugly! Looks like our evidence got blown up. I think we might have to get some more.
Joe Hallenbeck: Just won't let go, huh? You're like a dog with a frisbee. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
[Hallenbeck and Dix are trying to tell the bodyguards in a car about a bomb]
Joe Hallenbeck: Now what are you doing?
Jimmy Dix: I'm drawing them a picture.
Joe Hallenbeck: What's that?
Jimmy Dix: It's a bomb.
Joe Hallenbeck: It doesn't look like a bomb, it looks like an apple with lines coming out of it. What are they gonna say, "don't open the briefcase, it's full of fresh fruit"?
Jimmy Dix: Do you want to draw the damn thing?
[Dix shows Hallenbeck the draw of a bomb with "bom" written below]
Jimmy Dix: Happy?
Joe Hallenbeck: Are you kidding me?
Jimmy Dix: [shows the drawing to the bodyguards] Always criticizing my shit. I can't do nothing right.
Jimmy Dix: [the bodyguards shoot at them] Oh, shit!
Joe Hallenbeck: I forgot to tell you. "Bom" means "fuck you" in Polish.
Jimmy Dix: Hey, that's not funny, man. I almost bought it there!
Joe Hallenbeck: Tragic loss to the art world, let me tell ya. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Jimmy Dix: You don't like women much do ya Joe.
Joe Hallenbeck: [about his wife] At least I liked the guy she was fuckin'. He was my best friend.
Jimmy Dix: Nah man, he was a scumbag private detective.
Joe Hallenbeck: All private detectives are scumbags.
Jimmy Dix: Yeah, but that scumbag tried to get you killed.
Joe Hallenbeck: Yeah well, friends can't be perfect. I wish that water wasn't wet, I wish the sky wasn't blue and I wish that I didn't still love my wife. Ahh, life sucks!
[reaches for a glass of wine] (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Joe Hallenbeck: [Joe just found out that Mathews was having an affair with his wife] Head or gut, Mike?
Mike Mathews: Joe, how long have we been friends?
Joe Hallenbeck: I'd say roughly until you started banging my wife. Head or gut?
Mike Mathews: [sighs] Gut.
Joe Hallenbeck: [punches Mike in the gut] Got that address for me?
Mike Mathews: [out of breath] Huh?
Joe Hallenbeck: The surveillance job.
Mike Mathews: [still out of breath] You still want the job?
Joe Hallenbeck: 500 bucks is 500 bucks, Mike.
Mike Mathews: [gives Joe a picture of Cory] Yeah, I guess you're right.
Joe Hallenbeck: [looking at the picture] Cory, huh? You throw a shot into her too?
[Mike leaves]
Joe Hallenbeck: [to his neighbor's dog who keeps coming into his yard] Get the fuck out of here, go shit in your own yard. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
[Joe and Jimmy arrive at the stadium and see Marcone's car]
Jimmy Dix: Hey, that's Marcone's car.
Joe Hallenbeck: Come on!
Jimmy Dix: [pulls out his keys and scratches the car] I've always wanted to do that.
Joe Hallenbeck: You should've shit on it. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Sarah Hallenbeck: [arguing; justifying her infidelity] You were never around. You know what? Fuck you, Joe. I was lonely!
Joe Hallenbeck: Buy a dog. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
| Milo: Excuse me, but did any of you stupid shits bother to frisk this FUCK? He could be a God damned cop. Frisk him please. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone: I got them all in my hip pocket, except Senator Calvin Baynard. I tried to bribe that son of a bitch. He gave it back because it wasn't enough.
Joe Hallenbeck: What's he want?
Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone: Six million. Or he'll go straight to the police. It'll just be cheaper to kill that son of a bitch.
Joe Hallenbeck: Taking off a senator is ballsy, even for an asshole like you.
Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone: You said it, Joe-boy. That's why we'll frame you for the senator's murder. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone: Give him the key or I'll have you kneecapped.
Jimmy Dix: Whoops.
[Jimmy throws a "Shredder" shotgun shell into the fireplace]
Jimmy Dix: Look like nobody gets the money. That's one of those new plastic keys.
Sheldon 'Shelly' Marcone: Get the god damn key!
Jimmy Dix: [to Joe] The kind that shred.
Joe Hallenbeck: Darian, get down! (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Harp: Hey, last time I saw you drink straight Vodka was 'cause you just cheated on Corey.
Jimmy Dix: Yeah why don't you pour me another. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
Jimmy Dix: Nowadays all I do is lose friends, drink, and nail anything with a heartbeat.
Harp: Yeah, well, just stay on your side of the bar. (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
[first lines]
Locker Room Kid: Billy Cole. Billy Cole.
Head Coach: The first half stunk! Open the holes up! Get in there like hogs! Like pigs!
Locker Room Kid: Billy Cole. You got a call on line three.
Head Coach: Let's go out there in this half and kick some butt! Let's get out of this town as a winner! I hate Cleveland! (Movie: Last Boy Scout [1991]) | |
| Josh Neff: A lot of people like to say they won't take no for an answer. I just wanted you to know that I'm not one of them; I can be easily discouraged. I *will* take no for an answer. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
| Des McGrath: Group social life has its place, but at a certain point other biological factors come into play. Our bodies weren't really designed for group social life. A certain amount of pairing off was always part of the original plan. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
| Tom Platt: Actually, there's one theory that the environmental movement of our day was sparked by the rerelease of Bambi in the late 1950s. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
Jimmy: There's something deeply ingrained in human biology: women prefer bad over weak and indecisive... and unemployed
Josh Neff: I don't know about that.
Jimmy: You think they do prefer weak, indecisive, and unemployed? (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
[Josh describes Lady and the Tramp]
Josh Neff: [referring to Lady and the Tramp] There is something depressing about it, and it's not really about dogs. Except for some superficial bow-wow stuff at the start, the dogs all represent human types, which is where it gets into real trouble. Lady, the ostensible protagonist, is a fluffy blond Cocker Spaniel with absolutely nothing on her brain. She's great-looking, but - let's be honest - incredibly insipid. Tramp, the love interest, is a smarmy braggart of the most obnoxious kind - an oily jailbird out for a piece of tail, or... whatever he can get.
Charlotte Pingress: Oh, come on.
Josh Neff: No, he's a self-confessed chicken thief, and all-around sleazeball. What's the function of a film of this kind? Essentially as a primer on love and marriage directed at very young people, imprinting on their little psyches the idea that smooth-talking delinquents recently escaped from the local pound are a good match for nice girls from sheltered homes. When in ten years the icky human version of Tramp shows up around the house, their hormones will be racing and no one will understand why. Films like this program women to adore jerks. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
| Des McGrath: Yuppie stands for "young upwardly mobile professional". Nightclub flunkie is not a professional category. I wish we were yuppies. Young, upwardly mobile, professional. Those are *good* things, not bad things. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
Bernie Rafferty: So you don't know anything about this investigation.
Des McGrath: No!... Well, a sort of *acquaintance* of mine who now works in Morgenthau's office approached me, but... I didn't tell him anything.
Bernie Rafferty: You didn't tell me about that.
Des McGrath: I didn't think it was important, it only just happened.
Bernie Rafferty: When?
Des McGrath: Tonight - just now.
Bernie Rafferty: Why did you use the past perfect, then?
Des McGrath: I used the past perfect?
Bernie Rafferty: Yeah: "I was approached." It sounds like a while ago. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
Alice Kinnon: I think it's much better to wait until things happen naturally. Forcing things never works.
Charlotte Pingress: That's not true. Forcing things usually works beautifully. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
Alice Kinnon: That's odd he knew I drank vodka tonics. I never told him.
Des McGrath: It's uncanny.
Alice Kinnon: You mean it's a complete cliché? All women recent college graduates drink vodka tonics, or something like that?
Des McGrath: Well, maybe. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
| Charlotte Pingress: [to Dan] What if in a few years we don't marry some corporate lawyer? What if we marry some meatball, like you? Or not you, personally, but someone with similarly low socioeconomic prospects. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
Des McGrath: Do yuppies even exist? No one says, "I am a yuppie," it's always the other guy who's a yuppie. I think for a group to exist, somebody has to admit to be part of it.
Dan Powers: Of course yuppies exist. Most people would say you two are prime specimens. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
Charlotte Pingress: You're not fit to lick the boots of my real gay friends.
Des McGrath: Well, I don't *want* to lick the boots of your real gay friends. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
| Charlotte Pingress: Anything I did that was wrong, I apologize for. But anything I did that was not wrong, I don't apologize for. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
Josh Neff: Take The Tortoise and the Hare. Okay, the tortoise won one race. Do you think that hare is really going to lose any more races to turtles? Not on your life.
Alice Kinnon: I like that tortoise.
Josh Neff: So do I. But if you were a betting person, would you say, "That tortoise won against the hare; in future races I'm backing him"? No. That race was almost certainly a fluke and afterwards the tortoise is still a tortoise, and the hare a hare. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
Dan Powers: You know, Alice, except for politics, we've got a lot in common: We're both pretty serious, and, I think, respect each other's bases for judgment. Occasionally I get reactionary thoughts, too.
Alice Kinnon: I'm not reactionary.
Dan Powers: Well, aesthetically.
Alice Kinnon: Oh, well - *aesthetically*. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
Alice Kinnon: If when making love, the man... *spurts*... outside the woman, does that count as sexual intercourse?
Tom Platt: "Spurts"?
Alice Kinnon: If it... *squirts* outside, without getting in... does that count as losing your virginity?
Tom Platt: No part of the man got in at any time?
Alice Kinnon: I don't think so.
Tom Platt: I think part has to get in to be considered sexual intercourse.
Alice Kinnon: So then I was a virgin. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
| Des McGrath: You know that Shakespearean admonition, "To thine own self be true"? It's premised on the idea that "thine own self" is something pretty good, being true to which is commendable. But what if "thine own self" is not so good? What if it's pretty bad? Would it be better, in that case, *not* to be true to thine own self?... See, that's my situation. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
Alice Kinnon: I love the company! They've been so great to us there.
Dan Powers: Well, I don't know; we were exploited. But they were nice about it... (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
| Dan Powers: Reincarnation - life after death - mumbo-jumbo of all kinds has been highly commercial throughout the history of book publishing. The first printed book... was the Bible. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
Josh Neff: Disco will never be over. It will always live in our minds and hearts. Something like this, that was this big, and this important, and this great, will never die. Oh, for a few years - maybe many years - it'll be considered passé and ridiculous. It will be misrepresented and caricatured and sneered at, or - worse - completely ignored. People will laugh about John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, white polyester suits and platform shoes and people going like *this*
[strikes disco pose]
Josh Neff: , but we had nothing to do with those things and still loved disco. Those who didn't understand will never understand: disco was much more, and much better, than all that. Disco was too great, and too much fun, to be gone forever! It's got to come back someday. I just hope it will be in our own lifetimes.
[Des, Charlotte, Dan, and Van stare at Josh like he's crazy]
Josh Neff: ...Sorry, I've got a job interview this afternoon and I was just trying to get revved up, but... most of what I said, I, um... believe. (Movie: Last Days of Disco [1998]) | |
Nicholas Garrigan: Why are you doing this?
Djonjo: Frankly, I don't know. You deserve to die. But dead, you can do nothing. Alive, you might just be able to redeem yourself.
Nicholas Garrigan: I don't understand.
Djonjo: I am tired of hatred, Doctor Garrigan. This country is drowning in it. We deserve better... Go home. Tell the world the truth about Amin. They will believe you; you are a white man. (Movie: Last King of Scotland [2006]) | |
Nicholas Garrigan: I didn't want him to die though.
Idi Amin: But you did it. Why? You want to know why?
Nicholas Garrigan: Yes.
Idi Amin: You did it because you love me. (Movie: Last King of Scotland [2006]) | |
Idi Amin: I want you to tell me what to do.
Nicholas Garrigan: You want ME to tell YOU what to do?
Idi Amin: Yes, you are my advisor. You are the only one I can trust in here. You should have told me not to throw the Asians out, in the first place.
Nicholas Garrigan: I DID!
Idi Amin: But you did not persuade me, Nicholas. You did not persuade me! (Movie: Last King of Scotland [2006]) | |
Idi Amin: You see. You are a doctor and a philosopher. Yes, I do have a good life now. Please, please. Sit here. I come from a very poor family, I think you should know this. My father left me when I was a child. The British Army; became my home. They took me as a cleaner, in the kitchens, cleaning pots. They used to beat me.
[imitating British]
Idi Amin: "Beat this wall, Amin." "Dig the latreen, Amin." And now, here I am. The President of Uganda. And who put me here, huh? It was the British. (Movie: Last King of Scotland [2006]) | |
Idi Amin: Before I forget, I need to ask you a favor.
Nicholas Garrigan: Anything.
Idi Amin: I will be in Libya next week, and I need you to attend a meeting in my place.
Nicholas Garrigan: What kind of meeting?
Idi Amin: A simple matter of taste and common sense. I cannot think of anyone better than you. (Movie: Last King of Scotland [2006]) | |
