Great Lines from The Hunter


My favorites have to be:

"Violets are blue. Roses are red. There's no school today because Teeeeachers, deeeeaaaad."
"I'm not gonna kill the teacher, I'm gonna kill Papa."

"Alright Bernardo. Time to come home." and that line leads to one of the coolest on foot chase scenes in film.

THAT was one cheesy scene!! At the time of me writing this, I am in between searching on youtube for a clip, it is friggin hilarious just remembering it. The way that guy basically just pokes his head into the classroom screaming while making a weird face and she just freaks out, its so B-movie ish.

In the first scene in the movie, McQueen goes into a bar looking for a suspect (Levar Burton). Burton is tipped off and tries to get out by the back door, where McQueen is waiting for him:

McQueen: "Tommy Price? My name is Thorson - Ralph Thorson. My friends call me Papa, but you can call me Mr. Thorson. Now, it's a hot day and I'm tired, and I don't feel like chasing you around. Do we understand each other? Can I put this (his gun) away?"

Burton: "Frankly, Mr. Thorson, I'd be tickled pink."

That's about how it went, more or less.
