Best one liner in the film???


There are so many great lines in this film so I'm just gonna throw out a few and see which ones people think are the best.....bearing in mind I've had to use the word 'Feck' instead of, well you know.

"Police, Dickhead."

"Durkin....that's disgusting."

"That wasn't a 'him', it was a fecking 'it'!"

"We need to get bigger guns. BIG FECKING GUNS!

"We had lunch with him!" (it's all in the delivery)

"You'd be paranoid too if you had this Dipsh*t following you!"

"Feck the bonus.".....um hang on, isn't this from......

reply

One of my favs is "Durkin...Shut Up!" at the end of the movie.

reply

Armstrongs rant about the nature of the killer being the devil
"Halleluyah..."
The perfect reply :)

Mercy is the mark of a great man *stab* maybe im just a good man *stab* well im okay

reply

He's eating human hearts for Christ's sake!

reply

Stone feeds a dog chocolate while the owner watches
Stone: You saw him didn't you
Owner: What are you doin?
Stone: I was talking to your secretary

O'donnell: I'm suprised you don't have a grenade launcher
Stone: I couldn't get a permit.

Bond: Ingenious Q, it's a bomb.... but it's also a rucksack.

reply

(Dirkin lists off a load of guns, some of which I cant remember, so I will "improvise")

"M-16, Magnum, SA-80: too fecking SMALL!!!"

reply

The whole movie is pure class so it is.

But I can't add one or even two lines I liked. I am going to add a whole scene that I love, word for word.

*****

[Inside the police station, Thrasher shouts to Stone to get into his office]

Thrasher: "Stone, get your arse in here!!!"

[After Harley Stone enters the office the police chief slams the door shut behind him and proceeds to pick up and show Stone a (modified) 4.45 Magnum that was confiscated from Stone earlier]

Thrasher: What the f@ck's this?!"

Harley Stone [after sitting down]: "Hi Chief, how you doing?"

Thrasher: "Answer the question!"

Harley Stone: "It's a gun!"

Thrasher: "Don't be a smart arse, this isn't funny"

Harley Stone: "I'm not laughing...the killers back"

Thrasher [then looks at the person standing in the corner]: "I thought you said this guy wouldn't be back?!"

Dick Durkin: "Sir, all the evidence and research shows that a serial killer of this type doesn't come back"

Harley Stone: "Who is this?!"

Dick Durkin [goes to shake hands and gets no reaction from Stone]: "Detective Dick Durkin"

Thrasher: "You sure it's him?"

Harley Stone: He ripped her heart out!"

Dick Durkin: "Her heart, what for?"

Harley Stone [in a sarcastic tone]: "Maybe he eats them for breakfast"

Dick Durkin [pulls up a chair and sits down next to Stone]: "This wasn't in the police reports or the news papers!"

Thrasher: "And it's never gonnae be, you got that!. Jesus, if they get wind of this they'll have a field day!"

Dick Durkin: "This changes things. I thought we were dealing with a psychotic, not a psychopath!. And with such incredible strength he must be under extreme mental distress or some kind of stimulant"

Harley Stone: Who is this?!"

Dick Durkin: "I'm curious, how did you know he was going to strike at that club last night?"

Harley Stone: "I didn't"

Dick Durkin: "But you were there before he struck!"

Harley Stone: "SO!"

Dick Durkin: "That's an incredible coincidence"

[Harley Stone then tilts his head over to Durkin and blows a cloud of cigar smoke in his face. Thrasher then shows them a folder.]

Thrasher: "Do you know what this is? it's a medical report, on you!. The doctors say you have Anxiety Neurosis to the point of being paranoid."

Harley Stone: "Doctor's dont know sh_it!"

Thrasher: "How many weapons you carrying besides this cannon?"

Harley Stone: "An MP15!"

Thrasher: "What else?"

Harley Stone: "A Glock 50"

Thrasher: "And?!"

Harley Stone: "An A3 Assault Shotgun"

Thrasher: "If that's not paranoid I dont know what the f@ck is!. I'm surprised you dont have a grenade launcher!"

Harley Stone: "Couldn't get a permit!"

[Dick Durkin laughs]

Thrasher: "THIS ISN'T FUNNY!!"

Harley Stone: "I just want to be ready!"

Thrasher: "Ready for what?. You can't even find the bastard, let alone shoot him"

Harley Stone: "I can find him"

Thrasher: "Look, if you know so much about this fella how come we have a corpse with her heart ripped out, and you are up alleyways shooting at water rats?!"

[Harley Stone then leans over and grabs Durkin by the tie and pulls him towards him]

Harley Stone: "Have you been following me?!"

Thrasher: "Damn right he has!. Paranoid people with guns are a menace to society"

[Harley Stone, while still holding Dick Durkin by the tie, then pulls Durkin towards the desk the Chief is sitting at]

Harley Stone: "You'd be paranoid too, if you had a dipsh_it like this following you!"

Thrasher: "This dipsh_it happens to be an expert on serial killers"

[Harley Stone then stands up and leans over the desk to get closer to the chief]

Harley Stone: "If he's such an expert, then what the f@ck is he following me for?!"

[Thrasher then hands Stone his badge]

Thrasher: "You are offically off suspension!. But if you f@ck up again, I'll have your arse shipped to the worst hell hole on this planet!"

Harley Stone: "Worse than this place?!"

Thrasher: "And there's a condition Stone, my condition!. He goes with you."

[Stone takes a quick glance at Durkin]

Harley Stone: "I work alone"

Thrasher: "You work with who I say, or you don't work at all!. Cos as far as I'm concerned you're just another crazy with a gun!"

[Harley Stone then opens the chief's cigar box on the table and grabs a handful of cigars leaving about two in the box and holds them up to Thrasher's face]

Harley Stone: "Your concern for my welfare is touching!"

Thrasher: "Get the f@ck out of my office!"


"Death heals the wounds of life."

reply

I'm reminded of a thrash metal guitarist named Jim Durkin.

"Does the chief know your'e down here?"

When Harley has Durkin wired up on so much coffee and chocolate, he goes down to the weapons room and goes nuts. The officer asks, "What the H**l is he on?" and Harley responds, "Chocolate". lol

I just watched this movie for the first time tonight. I must say I laughed my ass off.

The scene I found the most memorable, was when the chief found Harley and Durkin standing in the police lobby, with auto shotguns, both looking like complete wrecks. Hilarious.

This guy just doesn't think he is Satan, I'm inclined to think he is...

reply

"Police, dickhead." This is the best one-liner I think I've ever seen in a film. It's hilariously bad. It's made even greater by the fact that the main character is whipping out a BADGE in the dog's face, after which it calms down.
