Great Quotes
This wonderful film had some great quotes. Some favorites:
Sully: "There are women in this town I could hang out with that would be cheaper than you!"
Rub: "Yeah, but they wouldn't be your friend."
Miss Beryl: "You're wearing a tie! You're not in trouble with the police again, are you?
Sully: "Not unless you've blown the whistle on my parking tickets."
Miss Beryl (smiling mischievously): "I ought to -- there's probably a reward!"
Big-Shot Business Guy: "We could never have done all this without Clive. You must be very proud of your son."
Miss Beryl: "Actually, he's not really my son; they switched bassinets in the hospital."
(pregnant pause)
Clive to Big-Shot (with sh*t-eating grin): "She's just kidding."
[But if you happened to notice the photo of Miss Beryl's late husband on top of her bureau, you might have seen a certain uncanny resemblance.]
Peter: "Oh God, I'm a member of Greenpeace and I just helped poison a dog."
Sully: "Well, for one thing, it isn't poison. And for another, you didn't help much."
Sully is driving his truck along the sidewalk when crazed cop Philip Seymour Hoffman screeches to a stop in front of him, leaps out of the cop car, aims his gun at Sully's head and bellows "Get out of the truck! Now!" Sully turns to his son in the passenger seat and says:
"This is where a smart guy would get out of the truck."
Sully, going into jail, says to son Peter: "Hey, look after Wirf, will you...and Miss Beryl? Oh..and take care of Rub's jelly doughnuts."
Peter: "It's not going to be easy being you, is it."
Sully (with a wry smile): "Don't expect too much of yourself at the beginning. I couldn't do everything at first either."
Sully limps through the snow to make up with his friend Rub who is sitting on the cement steps of his tiny little house. Sully sits next to him, pauses a moment, then says:
"Well I wouldn't sit here too long. Your dick'll freeze to the top of the step."
[Unfortunately, the last time I saw this was on network where they censored it, and I can't remember Rub's response.]
and finally,
Sully's lawyer friend Wirf, hobbles into the bar on crutches after losing big at last night's poker game and with great indignation, accuses: "You'd keep my leg, wouldn't you!"
Sully (unimpressed): "You don't need a leg, you need a parrot!"
