Greatest line in the film...


"What can I tell you sir, Mr. Coughlin was a bad man, he could have killed one of my kids. (PAUSE) Well sir you can blame me, I mean I'm the one that shot him."

reply

Its Copeland not Coughlin. Also one of my men not kids.

reply

@SEINFELDbeatFRIENDS Also one of my men...
*kids

reply

No, he said 'one of my kids'.

reply

Way to take the wind out of my sails there bro. Yeah I messed up on Copeland but it is kids, not men.

reply

Must be an English or History teacher!

reply

Actually, he says "kids".

"Mr. Copeland was a bad man.
He was going to kill one of my kids.
Well, sir, you can blame me.
I'm the one that shot him."

reply

"Let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls. Don't ever, argue with the Big Dog. Big Dog is always right!"


"Thanks, guys." "So long, partner."

"Dr. Richard Kimble! There's no way out of here, Richard! The entire building is locked down! Chicago Police think you're a cop killer! They will shoot you on site! Richard! I know you're innocent! I know about Frederick Sykes! I know about Dr. Charles Nichols! He had the keys to your house! No forced entry, Richard! He telephoned. Sykes from your car, Richard! Either I'm lying or I'm gonna shoot you! What do you think!?"

reply

Either I'm lying or I'm gonna shoot you! What do you think!?"


I think if Gerard is lying, he will shoot Kimble.

That line makes no sense. He should have said, "either I'm telling you the truth or I'm going to shoot you!"

reply

He means on one hand he could be lying, that's the risk of turning yourself in. On the other hand, he's just gonna shoot him otherwise if he runs. So it's the worst case scenario of turning yourself in versus running i.e. worst case of each of the two options.
But yeah I had to think about it. Not a very natural line.

reply

" I didn't kill my wife!"
" I don't care!"

Sue

Jackie - Listen to me yall!!!!!
Chris - Oh hell no! Stewardess! Get me another seat!!!

reply

"I didn't think you cared!"

"I don't! (Don't tell anybody, OK?)"

reply

(During the interrogation scene.)


"He took everything from me."





No shirt, no shoes, no SEXY.

reply

Kiss my ass doc!

reply

(After being told that Kimble has jumped off the dam)

Renfro: Holy sh*t...can we go home now?

reply

@kmay144 Pretty much everything Gerard says is a candidate for greatest line, but I love this exchange:

Poole: Care to revise your statement, sir?
Guard: What?
Gerard: Do you want to change your bullshït story, sir?

reply

"Oh. Wow. Gee Whiz. Looky here. You know we're always fascinated when we find leg irons with no legs in them."
