Whats your favorite line in this film?


Mine has to be for some strange reason when aitch says 'Don, the steak was enourmas, size of it couldn't finish it' and also 'Handsome *beep* weren't he? Bloody Adonis!' Both these lines make me wet myslef with laughter and I'm not quite sure! But then again I mental.

Which will it be? Lets get decadent.

Gal: I'm just going to have to turn this opportunity down.

Don: No, you're just going to have to turn this opportunity yes.

Excellent.

reply

Myriad of funny and vulgar lines, but the one that absolutely killed me was when Gal was on the phone and said, "Say my name."in that pained, vulnerable, confidential way.

...........Hate is the essence of weakness in the human mind...........

reply

When Don asks Gal "Are you happy here?"

You JUST know that he won't be for much longer...........

I also love the scene when Don talks to himself in the mirror:- "Shouldn't have told him that.........."

And Teddy Bass's line after the heist:- "Gentlemen! You're all *beep*

Minds are like parachutes.
They only function when they're open.

Mine has got to be when he is smoking on the plane
and the guy sat behind him asks him to put his cigarrette out
"Whats that Sancho! you want me to stub this out on your eyeball"

quality character

reply

i reccomend the film "The Wackness"


Ben Kingsley turns another good performance as a pot smoking Shrink
has some really memorable lines in this film too for example

"Try to f_ck a black girl, i never had the chance to at college"

reply

Mine will always be...

"As far as the job, it's a piece of piss. A monkey could do it, (snickers) that's what I thought of you."

I dunno if it's the line or the way Kingsley put it, but it gets me everytime.

reply

Some of the best lines are already mentioned here, particularly the "I'm a good listener" speech. But for me it has to be-

"What? Your just going to stand there? Your just going to stand there like Porky Pig?"

"I find this astonishing your amazing this is astounding. Repeat."

"You'll be there, YOUR MR ROUNDTREE!"
"No!"
"YES ROUNDTREE!"
"No!"
"YES GROVESNOR!"

And in a non-Don related line "stare at the back of your own fvcking head".

Oh and last but not least after Don has flipped out at Gal's implication that he only came to Spain for Jackie

"It's not what your Saying! It what's your not saying! insinuendos! You really demonstrating some whopping great ego, my friend! I'd keep that in check if I were you because that sort of big headedness CAN BE A RIGHT TURN OFF!! (I love the idea of Don advising someone on how to behave in social situations)

Starts kicking the kitchen

"FVCKING HELL FVCKING HELL!! I'd like to leave, now. Call me a taxi."

"I used to work in an office. When I was seventeen. Does that surprise you?"

"What, that you were seventeen?"


"They still meet up every Tuesday just off the Old Kent Road. The Wednesday wank they call it."


"You hunking spunk-bubble."


I can't remember the dialogue now, but the scene at the end in which Aitch is talking about monkeys with the Beatles haircut has me in stitches. "... and, apparently, they're very happy with it."




Who's next?

reply

"If I cared, Gal"

"If I facking, cared"

"If I gave a solitary fack, about Don Logan"













"Get out of the facking car"

reply

When Teddy is questioning Gal in the "Where's Don, Gal?" exchange, Gal just blurts out "I'm not into this no more, Ted".
I think his character is summarised in that line.


Don't believe everything you think.

reply

Now eat your sausage

reply

"I gotta change my shirt, it's sticking to me. I'm sweating like a *beep*

What made it funnier is it's the first thing you hear Don say.

reply

WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT? THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD. WELL DONT, STARE AT THE BACK OF YOUR OWN *beep* HEAD.

MY SHIRTS STICKING TO ME, IM SWEATING LIKE A *beep*

ID BE USELESS. USELESS? I WOULD BE. IN WHAT WAY? IN EVERY *beep* WAY. WHY ARE YOU SWEARING, IM NOT SWEARING.

I KNOW A BLOKE, WHO KNOWS A BLOKE, WHO KNOWS A BLOKE, WHO KNOWS A BLOKE. NOW U KNOW THIS BLOKE, THIS IS A BLOKE YOU KNOW.


AMAZING DIALOGUE

reply

"I love her with all my heart."

By the time Sexy Beast came out I had been a fan of Ray Winstone for several years. I first saw him in Ladybird, Ladybird at the Chicago Film Festival in the early 90s. His talent for playing tough and troubled men was well established. Sexy Beast called for a different kind of tough guy: not a raging mad man like Don Logan, or a quieter, more disturbing tough guy like Teddy Bess, but a retired criminal who has found and won the heart of the love of his life. He is a man of honor who did his time without ratting out his partners in crime. His role, while not as flashy as Ben Kingsly's nor as menacing as Ian McShane's, calls for deeper complexity. Mr. Winstone succeeds with flying colors. There are so many wonderful moments of perfection in his portrayal that I am still entertained and impressed after many, many viewings of this wonderful film.

Hat's off to Ray Winstone.

It's a bath, innit?

"So this is a Spanish villa, is it?"

"Yeah. Do you fancy a tour?"

"No, I'll have a look in a minute when I have a p_iss".

reply

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to turn the offer down"
"I'm *beep* sorry, your going to have to turn the offer yes"

reply

'whaaa...what's that sancho?'
