Leo: Yeah okay, so you went from the funeral, to the cementary, to the market?

Warren: I did.

Leo: It took you 3 hours to get home, that sure is a hell of a long time to spend in the market.

Warren: Are you asking me or telling me?

DA: Warren, you did agree to anwser questions.

Warren: He's not asking questions, he's making charges.

Leo: Well?

Warren: I went for a walk.

Leo: Oh, you went for a walk. Why?

Warren: I was upset. I felt bad.

Leo: What for?

Warren: When someone dies you know maybe you feel different, but I don't, I feel bad.

Leo: Yeah, even about this girl you told us about...the bad person, no morals, bad manners.

(Leo paces around room)

Leo: Warren, you ever been arrested?

Warren: No.

Leo: You ever be taken to juvy court? For breaking your neighbors window and throwing a dead animal inside, a cat.

Warren: I was 12 years old, stupid thing to do but I was angry, I'd been punished.

Leo: Oh yeah, you were punished, for hurting the neighbors daughter, you cut her with a knife.

Warren: That was a accident!

Leo: Do you like hurting girls, Warren?

Warren: I don't have to anwser that...(Warren snaps and jumps up out of his chair and says again to the DA " he's not asking questions, he's making chargers"

Leo: When's the last time you made it with a girl, Warren?

Warren: That's none of your business!

Leo: Last week? Last month? Last year?

Warren: I refuse to anwser.

Leo: Never! You've never made it with a girl! Girls don't want anything to do with you, but you get back at them don't you? Betty, Karen, and god knows how many more!

Warren: I won't listen to your flith!

(Leo pulls Warren's masterbating toy out of desk..Warren won't look after he sees it)

Leo: Warren, what's this? You recognize this, Warren? What's it made for, huh Warren? What's it used for? What's the matter? Cat got your tounge? It's for jacking off!

(Leo pulls out pictures of the two dead girls Warren killed, and Warren refuses to look)

Leo: I also got some pictures, you know the girls in these pictures? Look at them Warren! Look at them Warren! Look at them Warren!

(Leo grabs the back of Warren's head and pushes it down to the desk to force him to look)

Laurie: Don't I know you?

Warren: Do you?

Laurie: Haven't we met before?

Warren: Have we?

"I hate quiche, and cole slaw makes me sick." or something similar. the woman in the cafeteria is like, "Why did you buy it?"

Or how about the whole thing when McCann goes into the basement and interrogates the night guy about the blood samples, but the night guy thinks he's about to get busted for sampling the high-quality "stuff" the night before. McCann is like, "What the hell are you talking about?"

I love the way Warren's lawyer acts. "There's always the insanity plea. We work out a little routine..." That actor always plays drunk-like guys.

Yeah, I love the "it's for jacking off!" line. For some reason, Kessler has decided that masturbation leads to serial murder...But anyway, great movie. I haven't seen it in a few years but it's definitely one of Bronson's better ones. A real guilty pleasure.

My favourite line is "Jerry I not a nice person. I'm a mean selfish sonofabitch. I you want a story I want a killer and what I want comes first!

[–] Jay_Trotter 19 years ago

Laurie: My father's gonna kill you!

Warren: Oh on, he's not. I know where he's at.

Laurie: That was him on the phone, he'll be here any second.

Warren: Oh yeah, well I guess I better hurry up.

[–] haleysuzanne 19 years ago

Any line from "Pedro" is awesome.

[–] ed56 19 years ago

I liked the scene where Bronson reads the diary of the first victim to warren where she reffering to a creep.
Charlie turns to Warren and says: "You know who this guy is? I'll give you a hint: It's you!"

[–] martyates77 19 years ago

Me and my friends used to watch this all the time. Its hilarous and as somebody already said a real guilty pleasure. When he gets shot at the end check out the continuity error with Warrens parting.

The jacking off machine scene is great, great detective work from badger Bronson.

There is that line where Warren says something like 'Youre dads a pig, your moms a whore'. Not funny lines but the delivery is class. As is 'i stick it in your a$$, thats what i love'

I gotta buy this film right now. not seen it for ages.

Imagine the future, woke up with a scream, i was buying some feelings, from a vending machine

"No, Warren, I'm saying that you will be able to walk out of a crazy house alive. But they will carry you out of a gas chamber dead."

[–] paul_johnr 19 years ago

Does that face Bronson makes at the sex toy count as a line?

[–] AlbertTheFlasher 19 years ago

That should go under "best facial expressions in this movie." Another one would be that cocky smile Warren gives to Bronson as he is being handcuffed in his apartment.

[–] KeiraVatt 19 years ago

WARREN: "I'm SICK! You can't punish me for BE-ING SICK!"

Some cause happiness wherever they go; others WHENEVER they go.

[–] paul_johnr 19 years ago

"No we won't."

Line of the decade!

[–] anfinke 18 years ago

It's not just the line but during the interogation scene the two "theatre girls" (witnesses) overhear Warren answer the question about whether they were his type. It shows the girls as he says "No", and the tall one (who liked him) looks so disappointed. It's kind of funny to watch.

I agree......anything by "Pedro".

[–] Jay_Trotter 18 years ago

The Pedro stuff was classic.

Laurie: Hello

Warren: Hey baby, how you been. You are beautiful. I love you.

Laurie: fakes being a operator and hangs up.

The 2nd call went some like this, where Laurie tries to get Pedro to meet her so McCann can get him.

Warren: Don't fool with me bitch.

Laurie: I thought you loved me.

Warren: I'd love to stick it to you that's what I'd love. Your father's a pig! Your Mother's a whore!

[–] AlbertTheFlasher 18 years ago

And just before Warren hangs up, he says to Laurie: "I wouldn't piss on the best part of you if you was on your knees begging for it!"

That was a nasty line.

[–] ka_t_ia 18 years ago

"don´t do anything I would do better" ," I´m a mean , selfish son of a bitch " , " I just wanna ... that´s what I love " , "so many girls you crazy son of a bitch (or something like that)... no we won´t !!!

Call me Pedro...

[–] mcfly-31 18 years ago

Eilbacher plugging her nose to sound like a recording, bwahhahah!

And "My names Pedro. That means Peter. I got the biggest one you ever seen." And of course my friends and I repeated to girls "Peeeah latta na ponoche" in the school yard the next Monday.

Also notice as the credits roll how all the actors are just staring at each other motionless with the dead body now lying in the street.

[–] bassguitarman 17 years ago

Now the whole world knows how much of a dirty *beep* you are! Be seeing you Mr. Kessler!

[–] MonteCarloMan 17 years ago

...."likewise, Mr. Stacy". (C.Bronson)

[–] kcfan-3 17 years ago

"You'll hear from me! You and the whole *beep* world!"

"No we won't"

BANG!

Classic.

Not on the rug, man....

[–] MonteCarloMan 17 years ago

Detective Zager; "Leo, every case is a poker hand; a good hand you stay, bad hand you fold". Bronson; "Your telling me your gonna fold-well, I'm gonna stay. He's our man captain and I'm gonna get him!"
