Dr. Ray Stantz

 * Personally, I liked the University. They gave us money and facilities, we didn't have to produce anything! You've never been out of college! You don't know what it's like out there! I've worked in the private sector. They expect results.

Winston Zeddemore

 * Ah, If there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say.
 * [last line]  I love this town!

Dialogue

 * Librarian Alice: I don't remember seeing any legs, but it definitely had arms, because it reached out for me.
 * Ray Stantz: [happily] Arms? I can't wait to get a look at this thing!
 * Peter Venkman: Alice, I'm going to ask you a couple of standard questions, okay? Have you or any of your family been diagnosed schizophrenic? Mentally incompetent?
 * Librarian Alice: My uncle thought he was St. Jerome.
 * Peter Venkman: I'd call that a big yes. Uh, are you habitually using drugs, stimulants, alcohol?
 * Librarian Alice: No.
 * Peter Venkman: No, no. Just asking. Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?
 * Library Administrator: [disturbed] (What?) What has that got to do with it?
 * Peter Venkman: Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

 * Dana Barrett: That's the bedroom, but nothing ever happened in there.
 * Peter Venkman: (Really?) What a crime.

 * [the Ghostbusters wait for an elevator]
 * Hotel Guest: What are you supposed to be, some kind of a cosmonaut?
 * Peter Venkman: [chuckles] No, we're exterminators. Somebody saw a cockroach up on 12th.
 * Hotel Guest: That's gotta be some cockroach.
 * Peter Venkman: Bite your head off, man.
 * Ray Stantz: Going up?
 * Hotel Guest: (No, thanks.) I'll take the next one.
 * [inside the elevator]
 * Ray Stantz: You know, it's just occurred to me. We really haven't had a completely successful test of this equipment.
 * Egon Spengler: I blame myself.
 * Peter Venkman: So do I.
 * Ray Stantz: Well, no sense in worrying about it now.
 * Peter Venkman: Why worry? Each one of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.
 * Ray Stantz: Yep. (We can agree on that.) Well, let's get ready. Switch me on.
 * [Egon turns on Ray's proton pack, and he and Peter back away from Ray uneasily]

 * [the Ghostbusters cause a chandelier to fall onto a table, destroying both]
 * Ray Stantz: I did that. I did that. That's my fault.
 * Peter Venkman: It's okay, the table broke the fall.
 * Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
 * Peter Venkman: What?
 * Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
 * Peter Venkman: Why?
 * Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
 * Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
 * Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously, and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
 * Ray Stantz: [shocked gasp] Total protonic reversal.
 * Peter Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

 * [The Ghostbusters have just completed a hunt in a hotel]
 * Peter Venkman: We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!
 * Hotel Manager: Did you see it? What was it?
 * Ray Stantz: [holding up the steaming ghost-trap] We got it!
 * Hotel Manager: What is it? Will there be any more of them?
 * Ray Stantz: [coughs] Sir, what you had there was what we referred to as a focused, non-terminal repeating phantasm, or a Class-5 full-roaming vapor. Real nasty one, too.
 * Peter Venkman: And now... [clears his throat] ...let's talk seriously. Now, for the entrapment, [Spengler holds up four fingers behind the Manager] we're gonna have to ask you for four big ones, $4,000 for that, but we are having a special this week on proton charging and storage of the beast, [Spengler holds up one finger] and that's only going to come to $1,000, fortunately.
 * Hotel Manager: $5,000? I had no idea it would be so much; I won't pay it.
 * Peter Venkman: Well, that's all right. We can just put it right back in there.
 * Ray Stantz: Yeah, we certainly can, Dr. Venkman.
 * Hotel Manager: No, no, no, no! All right. Anything.
 * Peter Venkman: [smiling] Thank you.
 * Ray Stantz: Thank you. Hope we can help you again. [to the hotel guests] Coming through! One Class-5 full-roaming vapor. Move 'em out!

 * [Walter Peck, an EPA agent, is visiting the Ghostbusters]
 * Peter Venkman: Can I help you?
 * Walter Peck: I'm Walter Peck, I'm with the Environmental Protection... [Venkman shakes hands with Peck and still has Ectoplasm on his hands] ...Agency, the third district.
 * Peter Venkman: [wipes the Ectoplasm on Peck's Suit] Great, how's it going down there?
 * Walter Peck: Are you Peter Venkman?
 * Peter Venkman: Yes, I'm... Dr. Venkman.
 * Walter Peck: Exactly, what are you a doctor of, Mr. Venkman?
 * Peter Venkman: Well, I have a PhD in Parapsychology and Psychology.
 * Walter Peck: I see. And now, you catch ghosts.
 * Peter Venkman: Yeah, you can say that.
 * Walter Peck: And how many ghosts have you caught, Mr. Venkman?
 * Peter Venkman: I'm not at liberty to say.
 * Walter Peck: And where do you put these ghosts, once you catch them?
 * Peter Venkman: Into a storage facility.
 * Walter Peck: And would the storage facility be located on these premises?
 * Peter Venkman: Yes.
 * Walter Peck: And may I see this storage facility?
 * Peter Venkman: No.
 * Walter Peck: And why not, Mr. Venkman?
 * Peter Venkman: Because you did not use the magic word.
 * Walter Peck: What is the magic word, Mr. Venkman?
 * Peter Venkman: "Please."
 * Walter Peck: May I please see the [chuckles] storage facility, Mr. Venkman?
 * Peter Venkman: Why do you want to see the storage facility?
 * Walter Peck: Well, because I'm curious. I want to know more about what you do here. Frankly, there have been a lot of wild stories in the media and we want to assess for any possible environmental impact from your operation. For instance, the presence of noxious, possibly hazardous waste chemicals in your basement. Now you either show me what is down there, or I come back with a court order.
 * Peter Venkman: You go get a court order, and I'll sue your ass for wrongful prosecution.
 * Walter Peck: You can have it your way, Mr. Venkman.

 * [While in jail, the Ghostbusters are studying the blueprints of Dana's apartment building and uncover some startling facts]
 * Winston Zeddemore: Hey, guard! Look, I wanna make a phone call. Yeah, I just work with these guys, but I wasn't even there!
 * Egon Spengler: The structure of this roof cap is exactly like the kind of telemetry tracker that NASA uses to identify dead pulsars in deep space.
 * Ray Stantz: Cold-riveted girders...with cores of pure selenium.
 * Peter Venkman: [to jailbirds suddenly looking over the blueprints] Everybody getting this so far? So what? I guess they just don't make them like they used to, huh?
 * Ray Stantz: [slaps Venkman up the head] No! Nobody ever made them like this! I mean, the architect was either a certified genius or an authentic wacko!
 * Peter Venkman: Ray, for a moment, pretend that I don't know anything about metallurgy, engineering, or physics, and just tell me what the hell is going on.
 * Ray Stantz: You never studied. The whole building is a huge super-conductive antenna that was designed and built expressly for the purpose of pulling in and concentrating spiritual turbulence. Your girlfriend lives in the corner penthouse of Spook Central.
 * Peter Venkman: She's not my girlfriend. I find her interesting because she's a client and because she sleeps above her covers. Four feet above her covers. She barks, she drools, she claws--
 * Egon Spengler: It's not the girl, Peter, it's the building. Something terrible is about to enter our world, and this building is obviously the door. The architect's name was Ivo Shandor. I found it in Tobin's Spirit Guide. He was also a doctor. Performed a lot of unnecessary surgery. And then in 1920, he started a secret society.
 * Peter Venkman: Let me guess: Gozer worshippers?
 * Egon Spengler: Right.
 * Peter Venkman: [to Stantz, mockingly] "No studying."
 * Egon Spengler: After the First World War, Shandor decided that society was too sick to survive. [notices more jailbirds listening in] And he wasn't alone; he had close to a thousand followers when he died. They conducted rituals up on the roof, bizarre rituals intended to bring about the end of the world, and now, it looks like it may actually happen.
 * Peter Venkman: [singing] ♪ So be good, for goodness' sake! Whoa! Somebody's coming! Somebody's coming! ♪
 * Ray Stantz: We have to get out of here. We've gotta find a judge or something.
 * Winston Zeddemore: Hey, wait a minute! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hold it! Now, are we actually gonna go before a federal judge and say that some moldy Babylonian god is gonna drop in on Central Park West and start tearing up the city?!
 * Egon Spengler: Sumerian, not Babylonian.
 * Peter Venkman: Yeah, big difference.
 * Winston Zeddemore: [sighs, fed up] No offense, but I gotta get my own lawyer.
 * Guard: Okay, Ghostbusters, the Mayor wants to see you guys. Whole island's going crazy, let's go.
 * Peter Venkman: I gotta split, the Mayor wants to rap with me about some things.

 * Walter Peck: I am Walter Peck, sir, and I'm prepared to make a full report. These men are consummate snowball artists. They use sensitive nerve gases to induce hallucinations. People think they're seeing ghosts, and they call these bozos, who conveniently show up to deal with the problem with a fake electronic light show.
 * Ray Stantz: Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here.
 * Walter Peck: They caused an explosion!
 * Mayor: Is this true?
 * Venkman: Yes, it's true. This man has no dick.
 * Walter Peck: Jeez! [charges at Venkman; everybody tries to pull them apart]
 * Police Sergeant: Break it up! Hey, break this up! Break it up!
 * Walter Peck: Alright, alright, alright!
 * Peter Venkman: Well, that's what I heard!
 * Mayor: This is City Hall! Now what am I gonna do here, John? What is this?
 * Fire Commissioner: All I know is that was no light show we saw this morning. I've seen every kind of combustion known to man, but this beats the Hell out of me.
 * Police Commissioner: The walls in the 53rd Precinct were bleeding. How do you explain that?
 * Archbishop: [enters City Hall] Good afternoon, gentlemen.
 * Mayor: Oh... Your Eminence. [kisses Archbishop's ring]
 * Archbishop: How are you, Lenny?
 * Mayor Lenny: You're looking good, Mike. [gives Mike a friendly tap] We're in a real fix, here. What do you think I should do?
 * Archbishop (Mike): Lenny, officially, the Church will not take any position on the religious implications of these phenomena. Personally, Lenny, I think it's a sign from God. But don't quote me on that.
 * Peter Venkman: I think that's a smart move, Mike.
 * Mayor Lenny: Now, I'm not gonna call a press conference and tell everyone to start praying.
 * Winston Zeddemore: I'm, uh, Winston Zeddemore, your Honor. I've only been with the company for a couple of weeks, but I gotta tell you: these things are real. Since I joined these men, I have seen shit that'll turn you white!
 * Peter Venkman: Well, you can believe Mr. Pecker...
 * Walter Peck: My name is "Peck."
 * Peter Venkman: ...or you could accept the fact that this city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
 * Mayor Lenny: What do you mean, "biblical"?
 * Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor. Real Wrath-of-God type stuff!
 * Peter Venkman: Exactly.
 * Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
 * Egon Spengler: 40 years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes!
 * Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
 * Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!
 * Mayor Lenny: ENOUGH, I get the point! And what if you're wrong?
 * Peter Venkman: If I'm wrong, nothing happens! We go to jail; peacefully, quietly. We'll enjoy it! But if I'm right, and we can stop this thing... Lenny, you will have saved the lives of [faces lights up] millions of registered voters. [Mayor slightly smiles and the Archbishop of New York smiles and nods in agreement]
 * Walter Peck: I don't believe you're seriously considering listening to these men.
 * Mayor: [contemplates; to officers while pointing at Peck] Get him outta here.
 * Peter Venkman: [smirks] Bye. [an officer tries to escort him out of the room]
 * Walter Peck: I'll fix you, Venkman. I'm gonna fix you!
 * Peter Venkman: I'm gonna get you a nice fruit basket. [thumbs at Peck; to Ray] I'm gonna miss him!
 * Walter Peck: All right, all right! [leaves the room on his own]
 * Mayor Lenny: [to Ghostbusters] We got work to do. Now what do you need from me?

 * [Gozer materializes in front of the Ghostbusters in the form of a woman.]
 * Egon Spengler: It's Gozer.
 * Peter Venkman: I thought Gozer was a man.
 * Egon Spengler: It can be anything it wants.
 * Ray Stantz: Gozer the Gozerian? Good evening. As a duly-designated representative of the City, County and State of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin, or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.
 * Peter Venkman: That oughta do it. Thanks very much, Ray.
 * Gozer the Gozerian: Are you a god?
 * Ray Stantz: [looks at Venkman, who nods] No.
 * Gozer the Gozerian: Then... DIIIIIIIIE! [sends the Ghostbusters sprawling with lightning bolts]
 * Winston Zeddemore: Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES!" [Ray then nods his head]

 * Peter Venkman: All right. This chick is toast!
 * [The Ghostbusters form a line and slowly, confidently advance on Gozer.]
 * Peter Venkman: Got your stick?
 * Ray, Egon, Winston: [together] Holdin'!
 * Peter Venkman: Heat 'em up!
 * Ray, Egon, Winston: [together] Smokin'!
 * Peter Venkman: Make 'em haaard!
 * Ray, Egon, Winston: [together] Ready!
 * Peter Venkman: Let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown.

 * Gozer the Gozerian: Sub-creatures! Gozer the Gozerian, Gozer the Destructor, Volgus Zildrohar, the Traveler has come! Choose and perish!
 * Ray Stantz: What do you mean, choose? We don't understand.
 * Gozer the Gozerian: Choose! Choose the form of the Destructor!
 * Peter Venkman: Oh, I get it! I get it. Oh! Very cute. [to the others] "Whatever we think of." If we think of J. Edgar Hoover, J. Edgar Hoover will appear and destroy us, okay? So, empty your heads. Empty your heads. Don't think of anything. We've only got one shot at this.
 * Gozer the Gozerian: The choice is made!
 * Peter Venkman: Whoa! Ho-ho--! Whoa!
 * Gozer the Gozerian: The Traveler has come!
 * Peter Venkman: Nobody "choosed" anything! [turns to Egon] Did you choose anything?
 * Egon Spengler: No.
 * Peter Venkman: [to Winston] Did you?
 * Winston Zeddemore: My mind is totally blank.
 * Peter Venkman: I didn't choose anything! [All three slowly turn to confront Ray]
 * Ray Stantz: I couldn't help it. It just popped in there.
 * Peter Venkman: [sternly] What? What just popped in there?
 * Ray Stantz: I-- I-I tried to think--
 * Egon Spengler: [alarmed] LOOK! [They all look over one side of the roof]
 * Ray Stantz: No! It can't be!
 * Peter Venkman: What is it?
 * Ray Stantz: It can't be!
 * Peter Venkman: What did you do, Ray?
 * Winston Zeddemore: Oh, shit!
 * [They all see a giant cubic white head topped with a sailor hat]
 * Ray Stantz: [resigned] It's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
 * [the Ghostbusters watch the gigantic form of Mr. Stay-Puft stomping towards them]
 * Peter Venkman: Well, there's something you don't see every day.
 * Ray Stantz: I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood, something that could never, ever possibly destroy us: Mr. Stay-Puft.
 * Peter Venkman: Nice thinkin', Ray.
 * Ray Stantz: We used to roast Stay Puft Marshmallows, by the fire at Camp Waconda. [feeling as if he's about to cry]
 * Peter Venkman: Ray has gone bye-bye, Egon. What have you got left?
 * Egon Spengler: Sorry, Venkman. I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.
 * [the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man growls at the Ghostbusters]
 * Winston Zeddemore: [stunned] Oh, no.
 * Peter Venkman: Mother pus-bucket. [Mr. Stay Puft growls and crushes a church] Nobody steps on a church in my town!
 * Ray Stantz: 1...2...3... Roast 'im! [he and the other Ghostbusters set Mr. Stay Puft on fire, and he starts climbing the building]
 * Peter Venkman: Whoa! [he and the other Ghostbusters hide]
 * Ray Stantz: Funny, us going out like this: Killed by a 100-foot Marshmallow Man.
 * Peter Venkman: We've been going about this all wrong. This Mr. Stay-Puft is okay. He's a sailor, he's in New York. If we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble.
 * [Mr. Stay-Puft continues climbing building]
 * Egon Spengler: I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways. We could reverse the particle flow through the gate.
 * Ray Stantz: How?
 * Egon Spengler: [reluctantly] We'll cross the streams.
 * Peter Venkman: Excuse me, Egon, you said crossing the streams was bad.
 * Ray Stantz: Cross the streams.
 * Peter Venkman: You're gonna endanger us, you're gonna endanger our client. The nice lady who paid us in advance before she became a dog.
 * Egon Spengler: Not necessarily. There's definitely a very slim chance we'll survive. [team ponders]
 * Peter Venkman: I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it! Let's do it!
 * Winston Zeddemore: This job is definitely not worth $11,500 a year!

Everyone wants to be found. taglines

Bob Harris

 * [repeated line] For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.
 * I don't get that close to the glass until I'm on the floor.
 * You want more mysterious? I'll just try and think, "Where the hell's the whiskey?"
 * My Japanese is getting better. We started speaking English.
 * Which one's burgundy?
 * My bathroom is messier than yours.
 * Charlotte, I'm down in the lobby and I'm leaving now. Um, I was calling to see if you still have my jacket. If you could you bring it down, but you're not there, so this is good-bye, and, uh... So, I guess, good-bye and enjoy my jacket which you stole from me.
 * Aren't you gonna say, "Have a good fright?"

Dialogue

 * Director: [in Japanese] Mr. Bob-san, you are relaxing in your study. On the table is a bottle of Suntory whiskey. Got it? Look slowly, with feeling, at the camera, and say it gently – say it as if you were speaking to an old friend. Just like Bogie in Casablanca, "Here's looking at you, kid" – Suntory time.
 * Ms. Kawasaki: Umm. He want you to turn, looking at camera. Okay?
 * Bob: That's all he said?
 * Ms. Kawasaki: Yes. Turn to camera.
 * Bob: All right. Does he want me to turn from the right, or turn from the left?
 * Ms. Kawasaki: [to director, in Japanese] Uh, umm. He's ready now. He just wants to know if he's supposed to turn from the left or turn from the right when the camera rolls. What should I tell him?
 * Director: [in Japanese] What difference does it make! Makes no difference! Don't have time for that! Got it, Bob-san? Just psych yourself up, and quick! Look straight at the camera. At the camera. And slowly. With passion. Straight at the camera. And in your eyes there's... passion. Got it?
 * Ms. Kawasaki: [to Bob] Right side. And with intensity. Okay?
 * Bob: Is that everything? It seemed like he said quite a bit more than that.
 * Director: [to Bob, in Japanese] Listen, listen. This isn't just about whiskey. Understand? Imagine you're talking to an old friend. Gently. The emotions bubble up from the bottom of your heart. And don't forget, psych yourself up!
 * Ms. Kawasaki: Like an old friend. And, into the camera.
 * Bob: Okay.
 * Director: [in Japanese] Got it? You love whiskey. It's Suntory time. Okay?
 * Bob: Okay.

 * Premium Fantasy woman: Mr. Kazu sent me- premium fantasy. My stockings. Lip them. Lip my stockings. Yes, please, lip them.
 * Bob: What?
 * Premium Fantasy woman: Lip them. Hey! Lip my stocking!
 * Bob: Hey? Lip them? Lip them? What?

 * Stills Photographer: Are you drinking, no?
 * Bob: Am I drinking? As soon as I'm done.

 * Stills Photographer: You know 007?
 * Bob: He drinks martinis, but all right.

 * Charlotte: So, what are you doing here?
 * Bob: Uh, a couple of things. Taking a break from my wife, forgetting my son's birthday. And, uh, getting paid two million dollars to endorse a whiskey when I could be doing a play somewhere.
 * Charlotte: Oh.
 * Bob: But the good news is, the whiskey works. [Charlotte laughs] What are you doing?
 * Charlotte: My husband's a photographer, so he's here working. I wasn't doing anything so I came along. And we have some friends that live here.
 * Bob: How long you've been married? [lights Charlotte's cigarette]
 * Charlotte: Oh, thank you. Two years.
 * Bob: Try twenty-five.
 * Charlotte: You're probably just having a mid-life crisis. Did you buy a Porsche yet?
 * Bob: You know, I was thinking about buying a Porsche.
 * Charlotte: Twenty-five years. That's, uh, well it's impressive.
 * Bob: Well you figure, you sleep one-third of your life, that knocks out eight years of marriage right there. So you're, y'know, down to sixteen and change. You know you're just a teenager, at marriage; you can drive it but there's still the occasional accident.
 * Charlotte: [laughs] Yeah.
 * Bob: What do you do?
 * Charlotte: I'm not sure yet, actually. I just graduated last spring.
 * Bob: What did you study?
 * Charlotte: Philosophy.
 * Bob: Yeah, there's a good buck in that racket.
 * Charlotte: Well, so far it's pro bono.
 * Bob: Well, I'm sure you'll figure out the angles.
 * Charlotte: Yeah. I hope your Porsche works out. Cheers to that, huh?
 * Bob: Cheers to that.

 * Kelly: John, John. You are my favorite photographer.
 * John: Ohhh...
 * Kelly: No, you are. I only want you to shoot me. It's true. [both laugh] Oh my God, I have the worst B.O. right now. I'm sorry.

 * Kelly: Listen, I'm under Evelyn Waugh. Shh. Okay?
 * John: Okay, yeah!
 * Kelly: Okay, arigato. [to Charlotte] Aarigato.
 * John: [laughing] Moshi moshi!
 * [Kelly walks away]
 * Charlotte: Evelyn Waugh?
 * John: What?
 * Charlotte: Evelyn Waugh was a man.
 * John: [shocked] Oh, c'mon, she's nice. What? You know-- You know, not everyone went to Yale. Its just a pseudonym, for Christ's sake.
 * Charlotte: Why do you have to defend her?
 * John: Well... why do you have to point out how stupid everybody is all the time?
 * Charlotte: I thought it was funny. Forget it.

 * Kelly: [being interviewed] You know, I guess the reason why I like Japan the best out of all Asian countries is because I really feel close to, um, Buddhism. I really feel-- I really believe in reincarnation. That's part of what drew me to Midnight Velocity as well because although Keanu dies, he eventually gets reincarnated. So, there's hope. There's hope in reincarnation, I think.
 * Reporter: What was it like working with Keanu Reeves?
 * Kelly: He was always so-- He was always, you know, giving me ideas and, you know, really helpful. He made me feel really comfortable, so-- And we both have two dogs, and we both live in L.A.; so we have all these different things in common. So, you know, we both really like Mexican food and yoga and karate!
 * [reporters laugh]

 * Kelly: Everybody is always, like, "Kelly, you are anorexic." And I'm, like, "No, I'm not!" I eat so much junk food, you wouldn't believe it! Just because I have a high metabolism.
 * John: Because I thought you were anorexic too.
 * Kelly: Everybody does. Everybody thinks that.
 * John: Yeah, 'cause you look so--
 * Kelly: Thank you! I know, but it's-- I mean, I eat whatever. I have a really high metabolism. Yeah. But, um-- My dad was an anorexic.
 * Charlotte: [sarcastically] Really?
 * Kelly: He, um, fought on the American side of the Bay of Pigs in Cuba. He was taken prisoner and the whole time he was there they tortured him about food. Every day they told him they put poison in the food. So, they would always make themselves throw up after every meal.
 * John: That's horrible!

 * Charlotte: You ever switch seats?
 * Bob: Uh, I like this one. If I fall, someone will notice.
 * Charlotte: Yeah. So, you having a nice time?
 * Bob: Can you keep a secret? I'm trying to organize a prison break. I need like, what, an accomplice. We have to first get out of this bar, then the hotel, then the city, and then the country. Are you in or you out?
 * Charlotte: I'm in.
 * Bob: Good.
 * Charlotte: I'll go pack my stuff.
 * Bob: Get your coat.
 * Charlotte: See ya. [walks away]
 * Bob: I hope you've had enough to drink. It's gonna take courage.

 * Charlotte: How long are you here for?
 * Bob: I'll be in the bar the rest of the week.

 * [Bob is wearing an orange camouflage t-shirt]
 * Charlotte: You really are having a mid-life crisis.
 * Bob: Really? I was afraid of that. I kept telling myself that I just wanted to be ready in case we go to war tonight.

 * Bob: I was feeling tight in the shoulders and neck, so I called down and had a Shiatsu massage in my room.
 * Charlotte: Mmh, that's nice!
 * Bob: And the tightness has completely disappeared and been replaced by unbelievable pain.
 * Charlotte: Yeah. I'm in pain, I got my foot banged up. Wanna see it?
 * Bob: [to Chef, sarcastically] How do you say no? Oh, my gosh! When did you do this?
 * Charlotte: I did it the other day. It hurts, y'know?
 * Bob: Didn't you feel any pain?
 * Charlotte: Yeah, it really hurt.
 * Bob: That toe is almost dead. I think I got to take you to a doctor. You can't just put that back in the shoe. Well, you either go to a doctor or you leave it here. [regarding Chef] He's smiling. You like that idea? See they love black toe in this country.

 * Charlotte: You know, the first time I saw you, you were wearing a tuxedo at the bar. You were very dashing. I liked the mascara.
 * Bob: [shakes his head] But the first time I saw you was in the elevator.
 * Charlotte: Really?
 * Bob: You don't remember?
 * Charlotte: Mmm, I guess you do kind of blend in here, huh? Did I scowl at you?
 * Bob: No, you smiled.
 * Charlotte: I did?
 * Bob: Yes, it was a complete accident. A freak. I haven't seen it since. Just that one time.

 * Charlotte: Why do they switch the r's and the l's here?
 * Bob: Uh, for yuks. You know? Just to mix it up. They have to amuse themselves, 'cause we're not making them laugh.
 * Charlotte: Let's never come here again because it will never be as much fun.
 * Bob: Whatever you say. You're the boss.

 * [Bob and Charlotte are lying on the bed]
 * Charlotte: I'm stuck. Does it get easier.
 * Bob: No. Yes. It gets easier.
 * Charlotte: Oh yeah? Look at you.
 * Bob: Thanks. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.
 * Charlotte: Yeah. I just don't know what I'm supposed to be, you know. I tried being a writer, but I hate what I write. I tried taking pictures, but they were so mediocre. You know, every girl goes through a photography phase. You know, like horses... taking dumb pictures of your feet.
 * Bob: You'll figure that out. I'm not worried about you. Keep writing.
 * Charlotte: But I'm so mean.
 * Bob: Mean's okay.
 * Charlotte: Yeah? What about marriage, does that get easier?
 * Bob: That's hard. We used to have a lot of fun. Lydia would come with me when I made the movies, and we would laugh about it all. Now she doesn't want to leave the kids, and she doesn't need me to be there. The kids miss me, but they're fine. It gets a whole lot more complicated when you have kids.
 * Charlotte: It's scary.
 * Bob: The most terrifying day of your life is the day the first one is born.
 * Charlotte: Nobody ever tells you that.
 * Bob: Your life, as you know it... is gone, never to return. But they learn how to walk, and they learn how to talk and you wanna be with them. And they turn out to be the most delightful people you will ever meet in your life.
 * Charlotte: [beginning to fall asleep] Hmm, that's nice.
 * Bob: Where'd you grow up?
 * Charlotte: Um, I grew up in New York, and I moved to Los Angeles when John and I got married. But it's so different there.
 * Bob: Yeah, I know.
 * Charlotte: John thinks I'm so snotty.
 * Bob: [chuckles] You're not hopeless.

 * Lydia: [over the phone] Is this a bad time?
 * Bob: No, it's always a good time.
 * Lydia Harris: The burgundy carpet is out of stock. It's going to take twelve weeks. Did you like any of the other colors?
 * Bob: Whatever you like. I'm just completely lost.
 * Lydia Harris: It's just carpet.
 * Bob: That's not what I'm talking about.
 * Lydia Harris: What are you talking about?
 * Bob: I don't know. I just want to... get healthy. I would like to start taking better care of myself. I'd like to start eating healthier – I don't want all that pasta. I would like to start eating like Japanese food.
 * Lydia Harris: [icily] Well, why don't you just stay there and you can have it every day?
 * [Pause]
 * Bob: How are the kids doing?
 * Lydia Harris: They're fine. They miss their father, but they are getting used to not seeing you. Do I need to worry about you, Bob?
 * Bob: Only if you want to.

 * [during lunch after Charlotte caught Bob sleeping with the female jazz singer]
 * Charlotte: Well, I guess she's more around your age. You guys could talk about things in common, like growing up in the fifties. Maybe she liked the movies you did in the seventies when you were still making them.
 * Bob: Wasn't there anyone else around to lavish you with attention?

 * Charlotte: That was the worst lunch.
 * Bob: So bad. What kind of restaurant makes you cook your own food?
 * Charlotte: When are you leaving.
 * Bob: Tomorrow.
 * Charlotte: I'll miss you.

 * Bob: I don't want to leave.
 * Charlotte: Then don't. Stay here with me. We'll start a jazz band.

Hanshan

Hanshan (c.730? – c.850?) was a legendary figure associated with a collection of poems from the Chinese Tang Dynasty in the Taoist and Chan tradition. No one knows who he was, or when he lived and died. In the Buddhist tradition, Hanshan and his sidekick Shide are honored as emanations of the bodhisattvas Mañjuśrī and Samantabhadra, respectively. In Japanese and Chinese paintings, Hanshan is often depicted together with Shide or with Fenggan, another monk with legendary attributes.

Quotes
I sat silently, bathed in the full moon's light. I counted there ten thousand shapes, None with substance save the moon's own glow. The pristine mind is empty as the moon, I thought, and like the moon, freely shines. By what I knew of moon I knew the mind, Each mirror to each, profound as stone.
 * Once, my back wedded to the solid cliff,
 * Encounters With Cold Mountain, tr. Peter Stambler (Foreign Languages Press, Beijing, 1996)

They say, "Han-shan is an idiot." "Am I really an idiot:" I reflect. But my reflections fail to solve the question: for I myself do not know who the self is, And how can others know who I am?
 * All the people in the Kuo-ch'ing monastery—
 * Translated by D. T. Suzuki
 * Note: This poem, translated by D. T. Suzuki, is not a complete Han-shan poem. It is lines 3–8 of a 14 line poem, numbered 271 by Red Pine.

Cold Mountain Transcendental Poetry

 * Cold Mountain Transcendental Poetry by the T'ang Zen poet, Han-shan (2005, 2011), tr. Wandering Poet, ISBN 978-0-6151-6006-1 ISBN 0615160069 LOC Number 2007937840

Even the Seven Treasures cannot compare A cold moon rises through the pines Layer upon layer of bright clouds How many towering peaks? How many wandering miles? The valley streams run clear Happiness forever!
 * There is a Precious Mountain

Here lives an idle man In the daytime wandering over green mountains At night coming home to sleep by the cliff Swiftly springs and autumns pass But my mind is at peace, clear and free By now I need nothing to lean on To be still as the waters of the autumn river
 * Among a thousand clouds and ten thousand streams

Cold Mountain says it all Monkeys scream, the valley fog is cold My door blends with the color of the peaks I gather leaves and thatch a hut among the pines Dig a pond and lead a trickle from the brook Long ago I left the world behind Eating ferns I pass the years in peace
 * I dreamed a place where I have come to dwell

It's peaceful to be cut off from the busy world I use dry grass for cushions in my mountain home My only light is the round moon My bed is the rock beside the green pool Tigers and deer are my companions I delight in this happy peaceful life Forever beyond the world of men
 * Cold Mountain is hidden in white clouds

Already it seems like ages Wandering free I roam the woods and streams Lingering to watch things be themselves Men don't come this far into the mountains Where white clouds gather and billow Dry grass makes a comfortable mattress The blue sky is a fine quilt Happy to pillow my head on the rock I leave heaven and earth to endless change
 * I settled at Cold Mountain long ago

Until the mist and rainbows disappeared I followed the emerald stream Explored a thousand tiers of green cliffs In the morning my spirit rests among white clouds At night a bright moon floats in the sky '''I am free of the busy world There is not a doubt in my heart or a worry to disturb my mind'''
 * Today I sat before the cliff

When you live alone you have no worries When you leave the doors open no one bothers you The bubbling stream runs forever In the cave a clay pot boils over a fire on the ground A wandering breeze stirs the fragrant pines When hungry I eat one simple meal And lean against the rock in complete harmony
 * When you live on Cold Mountain long enough the autumns pass quickly

Among the mist and vines and caves The wilderness is boundless My companions are lazy white clouds There are roads but they do not reach the world My mind has come to rest and nothing can stir my thought On a bed of rock I sit alone in the night While a round moon climbs up Cold Mountain
 * I'm happy in the every day Way

Wandering free with no concerns Every day I find food for this old body There's leisure for thinking, nothing to do Often I carry an ancient book Sometimes I climb a rock pavilion To look down a thousand foot precipice Overhead are swirling clouds A cold moon chilly cold My body feels like a flying crane
 * I love the joy of mountains

Blue green vistas locked in white clouds The mist makes my bandana wet Dew coats my grass cape My feet climb in straw sandals My hand holds an old wooden stick When I gaze down again on the dusty world It has become a land of phantoms and dreams to me
 * Tier on tier of beautiful mountains and streams

Climbers are all afraid The moon shines on clear water twinkle twinkle Wind rustles the tall grass Plum trees flower in the snow Bare twisted trees have clouds for foliage A touch of rain brings it all alive Unless you see clearly do not approach
 * How wonderful is Cold Mountain

Roads to Cold Mountain are many and never ending The valleys are long and deep, the peaks piled high The streams are wide, the grass is thick The moss is slippery though there is no rain The pines sigh though there is no wind Who can escape the snares of the world And come to sit with me among the white clouds?
 * Climb the steep Cold Mountain way

I've lived by eating mountain fruits What is there to worry about? Life passes according to karma The months pass like a flowing stream Days and nights like sparks from flint Heaven and earth endlessly change While I sit happily among these cliffs
 * Since I retired to Cold Mountain

Roads do not go through Summer arrives yet the ice has not melted Though the sun is out it's foggy and dim How did I arrive here? My mind and yours are not the same When our minds are one You will be here too
 * People ask the way to Cold Mountain

The cloud road disappears The mountains are tall and steep The streams are wide and still Green mountains ahead and behind White clouds to east and west If you want to find the cloud road Seek it within
 * When people look for the road in the clouds

Note: The following three poems are examples of Han-shan's three word per line poems. They are literal translations, word for word, and illustrate a simple childlike side of the old poet:

Cold wind feet Not need fan Ice cold through Moon shines bright Mist covers everything Sit all alone One old man
 * Tiers of mountains

Ice freezes rock Mountains are green Snow is white Sun shines bright Every thing melt Every thing warm Warms old man
 * Cold Mountain cold

Forever not change I live alone Beyond life death
 * Cold Mountain Son

Note: The following two playful five word per line poems are also literal translations.

Thoughts somewhat far gone gone Clouds circle mountain soft soft Wind through valley swish swish Ape in tree bounce bounce Bird in forest chirp chirp Time turns hair gray gray Winter is here sad sad
 * Often sit alone happy happy

Cold cold ice cold cliff Chirp chirp often many birds Lone lone no sign people Swish swish wind blow face Gentle gentle snow settle head Day day no see sun Year year no see spring
 * Remote remote Cold Mountain road

A robe of clouds, rainbows for tassels The fragrant forest is the place to live The road has been long and difficult With a heart full of doubt and regret A life has passed and nothing has been accomplished Others call it failure I stand alone devoted to this Cold Mountain life
 * Someone sits in a mountain vale

Cold Mountain is guaranteed forever A light wind blows softly in the pines The sound is good when you are close One old man sits beneath the trees Reading Lao Tzu and Huang Ti, mumbling I could not find the world if I searched ten years I've forgotten the road by which I came Lao-tzu, quietly perusing. Ten years not returning, I forgot the way I had come.
 * If you want a peaceful place to dwell
 * Variant, lines 5–8:
 * Under a tree I'm reading
 * Translated by Katsuki Sekida

Ten thousand tiers of dangerous cliffs The stone bridge is slippery with green moss Cloud after cloud keeps flying by Waterfalls hang like ribbons of silk The moon shines down on the bright pool I climb the highest peak once more To wait where the lone crane flies
 * The higher the trail the steeper it grows

The valleys and streams are cold and damp Sitting quietly is beautiful The cliffs are lost in mist and fog I rest happily in this place At dusk the tree shadows are low I look into my mind A white lotus emerges from the dark mud
 * I sit cross-legged on the rock

Face haggard, hair white, I'm happy to still live in the mountains A cloth covered phantom watching the years flow by Why envy people with clever ways of living?
 * Old and sick, more than one hundred years

Am I who I am? Or am I not? Pondering these questions, I sit Leaning against the cliff while the years go by And the green grass grows up between my feet And the red dust settles on my head Then men of the world come and thinking me dead Bring offerings of wine and fruit
 * Do I have a body? Or have I none?

They are better for you than sutras Hang them up where you can see them Read them and read them again
 * If your house has Cold Mountain poems

Cold Mountain: 100 Poems by the T'ang Poet Han-shan

 * Cold Mountain: 100 Poems by the T'ang Poet Han-shan (1970), tr. Burton Watson, Columbia University Press, ISBN 0-231-03450-4.

T'ien T'ai: what more is there to say? Monkeys cry where valley mists are cold My grass gate blends with the color of the crags I pick leaves to thatch a hut among the pines Scoop out a pond and lead a runnel from the spring By now I am used to doing without the world Picking ferns I pass the years that are left
 * I divined and chose a distant place to dwell

Among mist-wrapped vines and rocky caves Here in the wilderness I am completely free With my friends, the white clouds, idling forever There are roads, but they do not reach the world Since I am mindless, who can rouse my thoughts On a bed of stone I sit, alone in the night While a round moon climbs up Cold Mountain
 * As for me, I delight in the every day Way

Their blue-green haze locked in clouds! Mists brush my thin cap with moisture Dew wets my coat of plaited straw On my feet I wear pilgrim's sandals My hand holds a stick of old rattan Though I look down again on the dusty world What is that land of dreams to me?
 * Story on Story of wonderful hills and streams

Cold Mountain? There is no road that goes through. Even in summer the ice doesn't melt; Though the sun comes out, the fog is blinding. How can you hope to get there by aping me? Your heart and mine are not alike. If your heart were the same as mine, Then you could journey to the very center!
 * People ask the way to Cold Mountain.

I read books, I sang songs of history, And today I've come home to Cold Mountain To pillow my head on the stream and wash my ears.
 * I brewed potions in a vain search for life everlasting,

Cold Mountain is good for a long stay The breeze blowing through the dark pines Sounds better the closer you come And under the trees a white haired man Mumbles over his Taoist texts Ten years now he hasn't gone home He's even forgotten the road he came by
 * If you're looking for a place to rest

They're better for you than sutra reading! Write them out and paste them on a screen Where you can glance over them from time to time
 * Do you have the poems of Han-shan in your house?

Disputed
The great Dao, all amid joy, is reborn. In a joyous state, ruler and subject accord, In a joyous home, father and son get along. If brothers increase their joy, the world will flourish. If husband and wife have joy, it's worthy of song. What guest and host can bear a lack of joy? Both high and low, in joy, lose their woe before long. Ha ha ha.
 * Worry for others— it does no good in the end.
 * Translated by Mary Jacob
 * Note: It is unlikely that this poem, translated by Mary Jacob, is authored by Han-shan. In comparing it with every poem in the corpus it will be found that there is not a close match. Moreover, neither the language nor the content of this poem is that of Han-shan. Most importantly, this poem does not have the appropriate number of lines for a Han-shan poem. Jacob's poem has 9 lines; there is not a single example of a 9 line poem in all of Han-shan's poetry. All of Han-shan's poems are 4, 8, 10 or 14 lines, with a few that have more than 14. Further, Jacob's poem has an odd number of lines; there is not a single example of a poem with an odd number of lines in all of Han-shan's poetry. Finally, the 9th and final line in Jacob's poem has the words “ha ha ha.” Not a single Han-shan poem has those words as a final line. Perhaps someone is having a joke?

Get Shorty

Get Shorty is a 1995 film starring John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Rene Russo and Danny DeVito about Chili Palmer, a small-time loanshark from Miami, who is sent to claim an unpaid loan but then moves into the movie business.
 * Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Written by Scott Frank, based on the novel by Elmore Leonard.

Attitude plays a part (taglines)

Chili Palmer

 * Don't worry. I'm not going to say anything more than I have to, if that.
 * I don't think the producer has to do much, outside of maybe knowing a writer.
 * Listen, Touch of Evil's playing near my hotel. You wanna go check it out, watch Charlton Heston play a Mexican?
 * Look at me, Leo. I wouldn't think you're that dumb, leave over three hundred grand in the closet, underneath the extra blanket, but I guess you are.
 * You know, Welles didn't even wanna do that one. Some studio made him do it. He owed 'em one and all his own movies lost money. But, hey, sometimes that's when you do your best work, you got a gun to your head.
 * Rough business, this movie business. I may have to go back to loan sharking for a rest.
 * Hey, Bear, look at me. Tell your boss I don't ever want to see him again. He made a deal with Harry and a deal's a deal.
 * I mean I could see myself in movies Robert De Niro had been in. Or I could maybe do an Al Pacino movie, play a hard-on. But I couldn't see myself in ones, like say the one where the three guys get stuck with a baby. They don't know how to take care of it and you see these big grown-up assholes acting cute.
 * Harry, look at me. You're trying to tell me you fucked up without sounding stupid, and that's hard to do.

Harry Zimm

 * I produce feature motion pictures, no TV. You mentioned Grotesque? That happened to be Grotesque Part Two that Karen Flores was in. She starred in all three of my Slime Creatures releases you might have seen.
 * That's half a movie, with holes in it. Maybe forty minutes of screen time. You don't even have a girl, a female lead, and on top of that, there's no one to sympathize with. You don't have a good guy.
 * A blockbuster. But quality. No mutants or maniacs. This one's gonna be my Driving Miss Daisy.
 * Every day, same time, they come down here and have breakfast. He has the egg white omelet; she has the banana pancakes. He sits facing west so he can see his billboard. She faces east so she has an excuse to wear the shades.
 * Anyway, Murray has this shrink, who also happens to be Martin's personal trainer's shrink. Murray gives the shrink the script and the shrink gives it to Martin's trainer who reads it to Martin while they work out, and Martin flips. Loves it.
 * What she did not say was, 'I just loved the way the director moved the camera so much it made me fuckin' seasick.' All she cared about was that look. All she remembered was that look. And why do we remember things in movies? Because we can see them. So keep this fuckin' camera down here on the ground and shoot this scene, so we can see what the fuck is goin' on, before I get someone over sixteen to fuckin' shoot it for you!
 * Man's in town two days, thinks he's David O. fucking Selznick.

Karen Flores

 * When I came upstairs, you stayed to finish your drink. I told you to turn off the TV when you were through. Come to think of it, I also told you you could sleep in the maid's room.
 * I spent all day crawling out of a grave. The costumer kept bitching 'cause I was ripping my nylons.
 * I know I'm better than what I've been doing the last ten years, walking around in fuck-me pumps and a tank top, waiting till it's time to scream.
 * Yeah, well Martin is known for his flipping. He flips over a script, and when the time comes to make a deal, he flips out.
 * "It" didn't slip away, Martin. You did when you went off to fuck Nicki in the middle of my birthday party.
 * Movie stars never pick up the check. They have no idea what things cost. Most of them don't know their zip code and a lot don't even know their own phone number.

Ray Barboni

 * Chili Palmer. Chilly outside. Chili inside.  It's a regular fuckin' chili-fest.  Hey, waiter, give Mr. Chili Pepper a big fuckin' bowl of chili!
 * Yeah well, I hope you drive better than you fucking spell, jack-off. My name is Barboni, not Barbone, okay!
 * You cut straight hair here or just fags?

Martin Weir

 * I'm glad you rejected me ten years ago when I auditioned for Eddie Solomon, the pedophile clown in Birthday Boy. Had I gotten the part. I might've gotten typecast.

Dialogue

 * Chili: So what're you tellin' me, you're never gonna go to sleep again?
 * Tommy: No, I said I'm never goin' to bed. There's a difference. See, the article says most people die in their beds. I figure long as I stay outta bed, I'm safe.

 * Ray "Bones": You got a miss. Leo Devoe. Guy's six weeks over.
 * Chili: He died.
 * Ray "Bones": How'd you know he died, he tell you?
 * Chili: Yes, Ray, he told me he was dead.

 * Ray "Bones": Momo is dead, which means that everything that he had now belongs to Jimmy Capp, including you, which also means when I speak, I'm speaking for Jimmy — e.g. from now on you start showing me the proper fucking respect.
 * Chili: "e.g." means "for example." I think what you want to say is "i.e."
 * Ray "Bones": Bullshit. That's short for "ergo."
 * Chili: Ask your man.
 * Mob Guy: To best of my knowledge, "e.g." means "for example."
 * Ray "Bones": e.g., i.e., fuck you! The point is this, is that when I say jump, you say "okay." Okay?

 * Chili: What is this?
 * Attendant: An Oldsmobile Silhouette.
 * Chili: I reserved a Cadillac.
 * Attendant: Yeah, well, this one's the Cadillac of minivans.

 * Chili: Harry Zimm, how you doing? I'm Chili Palmer.
 * Harry: Jesus, if I have a heart attack, I hope you know what to do.
 * Chili: Where you been, Harry?
 * Harry: Have we met? I don't recall.
 * Chili: We just did. I told you my name's Chili Palmer.

 * Chili: Harry, look at me.
 * Harry: I'm looking at you.
 * Chili: I want you to keep looking right here, okay?
 * Harry: That's what I'm doing.

 * Chili: Martin Weir. He played the mob guy that turned snitch in "The Cyclone".
 * Harry: One of his best parts.
 * Chili: No, his best part was the cripple gay guy that climbed Mt. Whitney.
 * Harry: "Ride the Clouds". Good picture.

 * Chili: So you're thinking what if I was to put you next to my dry cleaner. Ask him if he wants to invest his money in a movie.
 * Harry: That, or I'm thinking what if some tragic accident were to befall the widow Saffrin...
 * Chili: I'm not gonna pop her, Harry.
 * Harry: Just a thought.

 * Bo Catlett: There's nothin' to know. You have an idea. You write down what you wanna say. Then you get somebody to add in the commas and shit where they belong, if you aren't positive yourself. Maybe fix up the spelling where you have some tricky words, although I've seen scripts where I know words weren't spelled right and there was hardly any commas in it at all. So I don't think it's too important. Anyway, you come to the last page you write in 'Fade out' and that's the end. You're done.
 * Chili: That's all there is to it? Then what the fuck do I need you for?

 * Chili: You have a piece of a movie. That's all. You don't have a piece of Harry. He told you we're doing another movie first and that's the way it's gonna be.
 * Ronnie: Excuse me. But who the fuck are you?
 * Chili: I'm the one telling you how it is. That's not too hard to figure out, is it?

 * Chili: Hey... Karen. How ya' doin'?
 * Karen: What're you doing here?
 * Chili: I wanted to come by, apologize for coming into your house like I did last night.
 * Karen: Lemme get this straight, you broke in again to apologize for breaking in before?
 * Chili: No, no... you let the patio door open. You gotta stop doin' that, all the nice things you got around here.

 * Chili: You read Harry's new one? He says it's the best thing he's ever read.
 * Karen: He must mean after "Slime Creature 3".

 * Chili: I was never much into it. All that bullshit having to do with respect. It's bad enough having to treat those guys like they're your heroes, having to smile when they make some stupid remark they think's real funny.
 * Karen: And you think the movie business is any different?

 * Doris: What a spectacular view.
 * Harry: Yeah, lovely. Last night I watched two guys carjack a Camaro down on the corner of Argyle there.

 * Chili: Martin, look at me.
 * Martin: I'm looking at you.
 * Chili: No. I want you to look at me the way I'm looking at you. Put it in your eyes — "You're mine, asshole." — without saying it.
 * Martin: Like this? [looks]
 * Chili: What you're telling me, you're tired? You wanna go to bed?
 * Martin: Wait. How about this? [looks]
 * Chili: Now you're squinting like you need glasses. Look at me. I'm thinking, "You're mine. I fuckin' own you." What I'm not doing is feeling anything about it one way or the other. You understand? You're not a person to me. You're a name in my collection book, a guy owes me money. That's all.
 * Martin: How about this? [looks]
 * Chili: That's not bad.
 * Martin: That's what I think of you, asshole. Nothing.
 * Chili: I believe it.

 * Cabbie: You ever want to go to the beach, here's the freeway you take we're coming to.
 * Ray "Bones": I live in Miami and you want to show me a fuckin' beach? The sun ever come out here, or you have this smog all the time?
 * Cabbie: They say the smog's the reason we have such beautiful sunsets.

 * Escobar: Now why would you do that? Put the money in a locker?
 * Bo Catlett: Because there were a zillion DEA guys hanging around the terminal.
 * Escobar: A zillion, huh? That's a lot.

 * Ronnie: The man you're standin' on happens to belong to me and my partner, bro.
 * Ray "Bones": Well, this piece of shit owes me money.
 * Ronnie: Hey, get in line.
 * Ray "Bones": Yeah, but I don't like waiting in lines.
 * Ronnie: Tough shit, bro. This ain't Miami. You want something, you gotta talk to me.
 * Ray "Bones": No, no, no. Fuck you. fuckball. I mean, L.A is an open city, and I don't think I have to get permission from nobody for nothing.
 * Ronnie: Oh really? Well, I just closed it.

 * Bear: You see the paper?
 * Bo Catlett: I seen it, but I don't believe it. Says Harry shot Ronnie five times. Four to the chest and one through his foot.
 * Bear: His foot. Jeez, poor Ronnie...

 * Chili: What kinda food they serve at this Ivy place anyway?
 * Karen: Continental, but it doesn't matter. Martin won't order from the menu.
 * Chili: Why not?
 * Karen: Because a movie star can never order straight from the menu. They have to think of something they have to have that isn't on the menu.

 * Chili: You don't need that. You want to sit down and talk, it's fine with me. Get this straightened out. How'd you get in here?
 * Ray "Bones": I told them I was you. I acted real stupid and they believed me.

 * Ray "Bones": That man, he's got no respect for us.
 * Jimmy: No, he's got no respect for you!

Let me just start by saying that nobody's on the line just yet, but what I'm about to show you is risky and extremely dangerous. If that doesn't sound like your particular brand of vodka, help yourself to as much food as you'd like, have a safe journey, no hard feelings. Otherwise, come with me.

Linus Caldwell

 * [Exposing Frank's criminal past to Benedict while pretending to be from the Nevada Gaming Commission] Apparently, he's got a record longer than my... well, it's long.

Reuben Tishkoff

 * You guys are pros. The best. I'm sure you can make it out of the casino. Of course, lest we forget, once you're out the front door, you're still in the middle of the fucking desert!
 * [After Danny and his crew shows up at his door] Did you guys get a group rate or something?

Basher

 * [With another crew, attempts to rob a vault. As he steps inside, the alarm goes off] Oh, leave it out! You tossers! You had one job to do!!

 * A pinch is a device which creates, like, a cardiac arrest for any broadband electrical circuitry. Better yet a pinch is a bomb - now, but without the bomb. See, when a nuclear weapon detonates, it unleashes an electromagnetic pulse which shuts down any power source within its blast radius. Now that tends not to matter in most cases, because the nuclear weapon usually destroys anything you might need power for anyway. But a pinch creates a similar electromagnetic pulse, but without the fuss of mass destruction and death. So instead of Hiroshima, you'd be getting the 17th Century.

 * [scolding Linus for leaving the van when he was instructed to stay] You stupid bastard!

 * Window or aisle, boys? Yeah, we're in deep shit!

Dialogue

 * Rusty: You'd need at least a dozen guys doing a combination of cons.
 * Danny: Like what, do you think?
 * Rusty: Off the top of my head, I'd say you're looking at a Boesky, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros and a Leon Spinks, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald, ever. Where do you think you’re going to get the money to back this?
 * Danny: We hit these three casinos, we get our bankroll. Benedict's got a long list of enemies.
 * Rusty: Enemies with loose cash and nothing to lose? [pauses, then nods] Ah...Reuben.
 * Danny: Reuben.

 * Rusty: I need the reason. And don't say money. Why do this?
 * Danny: Why not do it? [Rusty shakes his head] 'Cause yesterday I walked out of the joint after losing four years of my life and you're cold-decking "Teen Beat" cover boys. [pause] 'Cause the house always wins. Play long enough, you never change the stakes, the house takes you. Unless, when that perfect hand comes along, you bet big, then you take the house.
 * [another pause]
 * Rusty: Been practicing this speech, haven't you?
 * Danny: Little bit. Did I rush it? Felt like I rushed it.
 * Rusty: No, it was good, I liked it. The "Teen Beat" thing was harsh though...I wonder what Reuben will say.
 * [cuts to Reuben's house]
 * Reuben: You're outta your goddamn minds! Are you listening to me? You're, both of you nuts! I know more about casino security than any man alive. I invented it. And it cannot be beaten. They got cameras, they got watchers, they got locks, they got timers, they got vaults. They got enough armed personnel to occupy Paris!...Okay, bad example.
 * Danny: It's never been tried.
 * Reuben: Ho-ho... "It's never been tried." It's been tried. A few guys even came close. You know the three most successful robberies in the history of Vegas?
 * [Flashback]
 * Reuben: [v.o.] Number three, the bronze medal. Pencil neck grabs a lock box at The Horseshoe...
 * [The thief snatches the lockbox, and is almost instantly tackled, the box falling open, spilling cash, which eager customer immediately start grabbing]
 * Reuben: [v.o.] He got two steps closer to the door than any living soul before him.
 * [in the present]
 * Reuben: Second most successful robbery...
 * [another flashback]
 * Reuben: [v.o.] The Flamingo in '71. This guy actually tasted fresh oxygen before they grabbed him.
 * [The thief with a bagful of chips gets within a few feet of the door before clotheslined in the throat with a security guard's baton.]
 * Reuben: [v.o.] Of course, he was breathing out of a hose for the next three weeks. Goddamn hippie.
 * [in the present]
 * Reuben: And the closest any man has ever come to robbing a Las Vegas Casino...
 * [another flashback]
 * Reuben: [v.o.] Was outside of Caesar's in '87. He came... he grabbed...
 * [A man runs out of the casino with an armful of cash. Outside the door, three casino security guards gun him down]
 * Reuben: [v.o.] They conquered.
 * [in the present]
 * Reuben: But what am I saying? You guys are pros. The best. I'm sure you can make it out of the casino. Of course, lest we forget, once you're out the front door, YOU'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING DESERT!
 * Rusty: You're right. [Looks at Danny] He's right.
 * Danny: Reuben, you're right. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs.
 * Rusty: That's exactly what it is, pure ego.
 * Reuben: Yeah, yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah.
 * Rusty: Thank you.
 * Danny: For lunch.
 * Rusty: The Nicoise was delicious.
 * Danny: Sorry we bothered you.
 * Reuben: [shaking hands] Look, we all go way back, and I owe you from the thing with the guy in the place, and I'll never forget it.
 * Danny: That was our pleasure.
 * Rusty: I had never been to Belize.
 * Reuben: [as they are leaving] Give Dominic your addresses. I got some remained furniture I want to send you. Look, just out of curiosity, which casinos did you geniuses pick to rob?
 * Rusty: The Bellagio, The Mirage....
 * Danny: The Bellagio, The Mirage and the MGM Grand.
 * Reuben: [drops his fork] Those are Terry Benedict's casinos.
 * Rusty: Is that right?
 * Danny: That's right.
 * Reuben: You guys... what do you got against Terry Benedict?
 * Danny: What do you have against him, that's the question.
 * Reuben: He torpedoed my casino, muscled me out. Now he's gonna blow it up next month to make way for some gaudy monstrosity! Don't think I don't see what you're doing.
 * Rusty: What are we doing, Reuben?
 * Reuben: You're gonna steal from Terry Benedict, you'd better goddamn KNOW. This sorta thing used to be civilized, you'd hit a guy, he'd whack you, done. But with Benedict... at the end of this, he'd BETTER not know you're involved, not know your names or think you're dead because he'll kill ya, and then he'll go to work on ya.
 * Danny: That's why we have to be very careful. Very precise.
 * Rusty: Hmm, Well-funded.
 * Reuben: Yeah. Ya gotta be NUTS, too. And you're gonna need a crew as NUTS as you are! [pause] Who do ya got in mind?

 * Danny: We'll need Saul.
 * Rusty: He won't do it, got out of the game a year ago.
 * Danny: He get religion?
 * Rusty: Ulcers.
 * Danny: ...You could ask him.
 * Rusty: Hey, I could ask him.
 * [Scene cuts to Saul in Florida retired, placing a bet at the Dog races. After getting his bet tickets, he takes his seat. Rusty, following close behind, walks up to him]
 * Saul: I saw you at the paddock before the second race, outside the men's room when I placed my bet. I saw you before you even got up this morning.
 * Rusty: How you been, Saul?
 * Saul: Never better.
 * Rusty: What's with the orange?
 * Saul: My doctor says I need vitamins.
 * Rusty: So why don't you take vitamins?
 * Saul: You come here to give me a physical?
 * Rusty: Box seats. Come on.
 * [Conversation continues in Box Seat]
 * Saul: So you gonna tell me? Or should I just say "no" and get it over with?
 * Rusty: Saul you're the best there is, you're in Cooperstown. What do you want?
 * Saul: Nothing. I got a duplex now. I got wall-to-wall and a goldfish. I'm seeing a nice lady who works the unmentionables counter at Macy's. I've changed.
 * Rusty: Guys like us don't change Saul. We get old or we get sloppy. We don't change.
 * Saul: Quit conning me.
 * Rusty: [Gestures to the running dogs] Is that your hound way in the rear there?
 * Saul: He breaks late, everyone knows this. So you gonna treat me like a grownup at least? Tell me what the scam is?
 * [Leans over and whispers it to Saul and hands him a plane ticket. Saul stares at the plane ticket, not noticing the dogs crossing the finish line]

 * Danny: [holds up a black wallet] Hello Linus. Whose is this?
 * Linus: Who are you?
 * Danny: A friend of Bobby Caldwell's. [produces a plane ticket and places it down on the table] You're either in or you're out. Right now.
 * Linus: What is it?
 * Danny: It's a plane ticket. A job offer.
 * Linus: You're pretty trusting pretty fast.
 * Danny: Well Bobby has a lot of faith in you.
 * Linus: Fathers are like that. [pauses, Danny is genuinely surprised] Oh he didn't tell you? He didn't want me trading on his name.
 * Danny: You do this job and he'll be trading on yours...You don't, we'll find somebody else who won't be quite as good and you can go back to feeling up stockbrokers. [To waitress] Can you get the check, please? [When Danny turns back, Linus has taken the plane ticket that Danny thought he was still holding] That's the best lift I've seen you make yet.
 * Linus: Las Vegas Huh?
 * Danny: America's playground.

 * Reuben: You're Bobby Caldwell's kid? From Chicago?
 * Linus: Yeah.
 * Reuben: You like it there?
 * Linus: Yeah.
 * Reuben: That's wonderful. Get in the goddamn house.

 * Danny: Gentlemen: the 3000 block of Las Vegas Boulevard. Otherwise known as the Bellagio, the Mirage and the M.G.M. Grand. Together, they're the three most profitable casinos in Las Vegas.....Livingston. [Livingston brings up Casino blueprints] This is the vault at the Bellagio. Located below the Strip, beneath two hundred feet of solid earth. It safeguards every dime that comes through each of the three casinos above it. [pause] And we're going to rob it.
 * Linus: Smash-and-grab job, huh?
 * Rusty: Slightly more complicated than that.
 * Linus: Well, yeah.
 * Danny: This is courtesy of Frank Catton, new Black Jack dealer at the Bellagio. Okay. Bad news first. This place houses a security system which rivals most nuclear missile silos. First: we have to get within the casino cages. Which anybody will tell ya it takes more than a smile. Next: through these doors, each of which requires a different six-digit code changed every twelve hours. Past those lies the elevator, and this is where it gets tricky: the elevator won't move without authorized fingerprint identification...
 * Rusty: Which we can't fake.
 * Danny: And vocal confirmations from both the security system within the Bellagio and the vault below.
 * Rusty: Which we won't get.
 * Danny: Furthermore, the elevator shaft is rigged with motion detectors.
 * Rusty: Meaning if we were to manually override the lift, the shaft's exit would lock down automatically and we'd be trapped.
 * Danny: Now once we get down the shaft, though, then it's a piece of cake: just two more guards with Uzis and the most elaborate vault door ever conceived by man. Any questions?
 * [Yen speaks in Mandarin, basically asking "What about tunneling into the vaults?"]
 * Rusty: No. Tunneling is out. There are sensors monitoring the ground a hundred yards in every direction. If a groundhog were to nest there, they'd know about it. Anyone else?
 * Turk: You said something about good news?
 * Danny: [smiling] The Nevada Gaming Commission stipulates that a casino must hold in reserve enough cash to cover every chip at play on its floor. That means on a week day, by law, it has to carry anywhere between sixty and seventy million dollars in cash and coin. On a weekend, between eighty and ninety million. On a fight night, like the one two weeks from tonight, the night we're going to rob it, at least a hundred and fifty million. Without breaking a sweat. Now there are eleven of us. Each with an equal share. You do the math.
 * [Virgil whistles]
 * Rusty: Exactly.
 * Saul: I have a question: Say we get into the cage, and through the security doors there and down the elevator we can't move, and past the guards with the guns, and into the vault we can't open...
 * Rusty: Without being seen by the cameras.
 * Danny: Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention that.
 * Saul: Yeah well, say we do all that... uh... we're just supposed to walk out of there with a hundred and fifty million dollars in cash on us, without getting stopped?
 * [everyone looks at Danny]
 * Danny: Yeah.
 * Saul: Oh...Okay. [takes a pill to calm his nerves]

 * Linus: I'll tell you: you guys really can pick em. This guy is as smart as he is ruthless. The last guy they caught cheating in here, he not only sent him up for ten years, but he had the bank seize his house and then he bankrupted his...
 * Rusty: His brother-in-law's tractor dealership, I heard.
 * Linus: He doesn't just take out your knees, The guy goes after your livelihood and the livelihood of anybody you ever met.
 * Rusty: You scared?
 * Linus: You suicidal?
 * Rusty: Only in the morning....Now what?
 * Linus: Here comes the girl. She comes down after him if they're in a snit.
 * Rusty: Where does she come from?
 * Linus: The museum up there. She's a curator...oh...here she is...This is the best part of my day. [Tess comes down the stairs and walks past them] ...I still don't know if we can use her yet...actually I haven't even caught her name.
 * Rusty: Tess
 * Linus: Huh?
 * Rusty: Her name is Tess.

 * [Rusty approaches Danny in the warehouse where they are constructing a replica of the Bellagio vault]
 * Rusty: We have to talk.
 * Danny: Ok.
 * Rusty: Now!
 * [Rusty and Danny walk outside]
 * Rusty: Tell me this is not about her, or I am walking. I am walking off this job right now.
 * Danny: Who?
 * Rusty: Tess. Terry Benedict. Tell me this is not about screwing the guy who's screwing your wife.
 * Danny: Ex-wife.
 * Rusty: Tell me.
 * Danny: It's not about that. [pause] It's not entirely about that. [Rusty turns away, furious] Russ, do you remember what we said back when we first got into this business. We said we were gonna play the game...
 * Both: Like we had nothing to lose.
 * Danny: Well, I lost something... I lost someone. That's why I'm here.
 * [long pause]
 * Rusty: Okay, here's the problem - now we're stealing two things. And when push comes to shove, and you can't have both, which are you gonna choose? And remember - Tess does not split eleven ways.
 * Danny: Well, if everything goes according to plan, I won't be the one who will have to make that decision...[Pause] So, how did she look?
 * Rusty: She looked good.
 * Danny: Thanks.

 * Tess: You're 30 seconds late. I was about to send out a search... [Looks shocked to see Danny]
 * Danny: Hello Tess.
 * Tess: What are you doing here?
 * Danny: I'm out.
 * Tess: You’re out?
 * Danny: Of prison. You remember the day that I went for cigarettes and didn't come back; you must've noticed.
 * Tess: I don't smoke. Don't sit.
 * Danny: Now, they tell me I paid my debt to society.
 * Tess: Funny, I never got a check.
 * Danny: You're not wearing your ring.
 * Tess: I sold it. I don't have a husband or didn't you get the papers?
 * Danny: My last day inside.
 * Tess: I told you I'd write...Danny, go now before--
 * Danny: What? Benedict? [Waiter walks up to table] How you doing? Whiskey and a whiskey
 * Tess: Danny.
 * Danny: Tess you're doing a great job curating the museum. The Vermeer is quite good. Simple. Vibrant. Although his work definitely fell off as he got older
 * Tess: Remind you of anyone?
 * Danny: And I always confuse Monet and Manet, now which one married his mistress?
 * Tess: Monet.
 * Danny: Right, and then Manet had syphilis.
 * Tess: They also painted occasionally.
 * Danny: [Smiles at Tess] Alright, I'll make this quick. I came here for you. I want to get on with my life. I want you with me.
 * Tess: You're a thief and a liar.
 * Danny: I only lied about being a thief. I don't do that anymore.
 * Tess: Steal.
 * Danny: Lie.
 * Tess: I'm with someone who doesn't have to make that kind of distinction.
 * Danny: No, he's very clear on both.
 * Tess: You know what your problem is?
 * Danny: I only have one?
 * Tess: You've met too many people like you...I'm with Terry now.
 * Danny: Does he make you laugh?
 * Tess: He doesn't make me cry.

 * Tess: See the people you steal things from, they have insurance to compensate them, they get made whole again, I had to leave New York to get away from what happened. How am I gonna get my five years back Danny?
 * Danny: You can't. But what you can do is not throw away another five.
 * Tess: [Cuts him off] You don't know anything.
 * Danny: Tess, Alright you don't love me anymore, you want to make a life with someone else, fine...I'm gonna have to live with that...But not him.
 * Tess: Spoken like a true ex-husband.
 * Danny: I'm not joking Tess.
 * Tess: I'm not laughing Danny...You have to admit there is a bit of a conflict of interest when you give me advice about my love life.
 * Danny: Yes..But that doesn't mean that I'm wrong.
 * Tess: Do you remember what I said to you when we first met?
 * Danny: You said that I better know what I'm doing.
 * Tess: Do you? Now? Because truly you should walk out the door if you don't.
 * Danny: I know what I'm doing.
 * [Terry Benedict walks up]
 * Benedict: What are you doing?
 * Danny: ...Just catching up
 * Tess: Terry, meet my ex-husband.
 * Danny: Danny Ocean.
 * Benedict: Mr. Ocean...
 * [Danny cuts him off]
 * Danny: I'm in your seat.
 * Benedict: Forgive me for being late, a guest required my attention.
 * Tess: That's fine...Danny was walking through the restaurant and spotted me.
 * Benedict: Is that right?
 * Danny: Yeah, imagine the odds.
 * Benedict: "Of all the gin joints in all the world" You recently were released from prison, is that correct?
 * Danny: That's right.
 * Benedict: How does it feel to be out?
 * Danny: About the same.
 * Tess: Danny was just about to--
 * Danny: I just stopped by to say hi to Tess for old times sake.
 * Benedict: Stay and have a drink.
 * Danny: [Simultaneously] I can't.
 * Tess: [Simultaneously] He can't.
 * [Danny and Tess share a brief smile]
 * Benedict: Well, then, I don't imagine we'll be seeing Mr. Ocean anytime soon, right?
 * Danny: You never know.
 * Benedict: I know everything that's happening in my hotels.
 * Danny: So I should put those towels back.
 * Benedict: No, the towels you can keep.
 * [Benedict gently kisses Tess' hand]
 * Danny: Good to see you, Tess.
 * Tess: Take care, Danny.
 * Danny: Terry.
 * Benedict: Danny.

 * Livingston: You've been red-flagged. It means the moment you step on the casino floor, they'll be watching you. Like hawks. Hawks with video cameras.
 * Danny: This is a problem.
 * Rusty: Saul, turn that off, will you?
 * Saul: [in fake accent] I'll turn it off when I'm ready to...
 * Rusty: Saul!
 * Saul: [normal voice] It's off, it's off!
 * Rusty: You have any idea how this happened?
 * Linus: I do. He's been chasing Benedict's girl. The two of them got into an argument two nights ago. [to Danny] I was tailing you.
 * Danny: Who told you to do that?
 * Rusty: I did. I knew you couldn't leave Tess alone.
 * Reuben: Wait a minute, who's Tess?
 * Danny: My wife.
 * Rusty: Ex-wife.
 * Saul: Tess is here?
 * Rusty: I'm sorry. I didn't know if it would sting you, but it did. You're out, Danny.
 * Reuben: He's out?!
 * Rusty: It's that or we shut down right now. His involvement puts us all at risk.
 * Danny: This isn't your call.
 * Rusty: You made it my call. When you put her ahead of us. You made it mine.
 * Danny: This is my job.
 * Rusty: Not anymore.
 * Reuben: But, but... he can't just be out. Who's gonna trigger the vault?
 * [Rusty turns to Linus.]
 * Rusty: Kid, you up for it?
 * Linus:...I can do it.
 * Rusty: Alright, let's go. Places at 7, everyone.
 * Saul: Tess is with Benedict now? She's too tall for him!

 * Rusty: [giving last-minute tips to Linus] You look down, they know you're lying; and up, they know you don't know the truth. Don't use seven words when four will do. Don't shift your weight. Look always at your mark, but don't stare. Be specific, but not memorable. Be funny, but don't make him laugh. He's got to like you, then forget you the moment you've left his side. And for God's sake, whatever you do, don't, under any circumstances—
 * Livingston: [calling from off screen] Rus?
 * Rusty: Yeah?
 * Livingston: Come look at this.
 * Rusty: Sure. [walks away]

 * [Danny and Linus prepare to go down the elevator shaft]
 * Linus: How'd you get here?
 * Danny: Well, if you give a friend a couple million...
 * Linus: But what about Rusty, the whole argument? I mean, what was that about? [Danny laughs] Aww, come on, why couldn't you just tell me, why'd you put me through all this?
 * Danny: Where's the fun in that?

 * Benedict: [on the phone] Who the hell is this?
 * Rusty: The man who's robbing you.
 * Benedict: [To employees] What the hell's going on in the vault?
 * Employee: Nothing, sir. It's all normal.
 * Benedict: Show me. [See's everything is okay] I'm afraid your mistaken.
 * Rusty: Your watching your monitors? Okay, keep watching. [Now monitors show vault being robbed and security knocked out]...In this town, your luck can change just that quickly.

 * Benedict: All right. Now I have complied with your every request, would you agree?
 * Rusty: I would.
 * Benedict: Good, 'cause now I have one of my own: Run and hide, asshole. Run and hide. If you should be picked up next week buying a hundred-thousand dollar sports car in Newport Beach, I am going to be supremely disappointed. Because I want my people to find you, and when they do, rest assured we are not going to hand you over to the police. So my advice to you again is this: run and hide. That is all that I ask. [no response] Hello? [cuts to bar where Rusty's phone is lying on the counter]

 * Rusty: [as Danny walks out of prison in a tux] I hope to God you were the groom.
 * Danny: [looking at Rusty's outfit] Ted Nugent called, he wants his shirt back.

 * [Danny has just gotten out of jail]
 * Danny: Hi.
 * Tess: Hi. We need to get Rusty a girl.
 * Rusty: There's a women's prison down the road.
 * Danny: [noticing Tess is wearing her wedding ring] You said that you sold this.
 * Tess: I said that.
 * Danny: Liar.
 * Tess: Thief.
 * [they kiss]
