Bennie Quotes in Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974)

Bennie: [as he keeps shooting a man he has already killed] Why? Because it feels so goddamn good!

Bennie: You guys are definitely on my shit list!

Bennie: Listen. The church cuts off the feet, fingers, any other goddamn thing from the saints, don't they? Well, what the hell? Alfredo's our saint. He's the saint of our money, and I'm gonna borrow a piece of him.

Bennie: I've been no place I wanna go back to, that's for damn sure.

Bennie: I can smell shit 100 miles away... sometimes closer.

Bennie: There ain't nothing sacred about a hole in the ground or the man that's in it. Or you. Or me.

Bennie: Nobody loses all the time.

Bennie: You wanna stay here with him?

Bennie: [after a shootout] Am I still gonna get paid?

Sappensly: [pulling out a gun] Yeah, you'll get paid.

Bennie: Come on, Al. We're going home.

Bennie: Hell, I wasn't trying to hit them, you know

Elita: I know you weren't.

Bennie: I used to shoot a lot of pistols when I was in the army.

Elita: You're a nice gringo. You didn't have a thing to do in the army anyways.

Bennie: You'd be surprised, honey.

El Jefe: Please, drink with me. I am a very happy man.

Bennie: Nah, I've got nothing to celebrate.

Bennie: Don't you look at me with your Goddamn fucking eyes!

Bennie: [i'll have] a double bourbon with a champagne back, none of your tijano bullshit, and fuck off.

Bennie: I'm gonna nail you, somewhere I'm gonna nail you. You're up there. You're up there you son of a... I'm gonna find you. Damn your eyes! Lemme see that big station wagon.

Bennie: I've killed people... and worse, a whole lot worse.

Bennie: You ought to be drunk in Fresno, California. This place is a palace.

[in a driving airplane]

Martin: We're gonna crash!

Bennie: But we haven't even taken off yet!

Bennie: This is Vuk. He's into electricity.

Martin: Electricity? But there's nothing wrong with that.

[Vuk is electrocuted and falls to the ground]

Bennie: Yup. There is now.

[Katja knocks Bennie to the ground with her I.V. stand]

Katja Wielaard: You still had that one coming, you idiot! Nobody, and certainly no fatso with a hood, can tell me what to do! Fat bastard! Filthy, retarded...

[Bennie shoots Katja, she falls to the ground]

Bennie: I'm not fat.

[Peter's outrageously stupid plan to get Koen out of prison has gone awry]

Peter: I didn't count on the dog.

Bennie: Shut up!

Milo: That's Vuk, my cousin. He's pretty good with electricity. For that meat ball paradise of yours; he can link up stuff.

Bennie: I don't need your Fuck.

Peter: [explaining his plan] Okay. Bennie, this is you.

[takes a thick bottle]

Bennie: [looks at Peter angrily]

Peter: [takes a thin bottle] Then eh... this is you. Okay. During visiting hours you sign in, and then the guards take you to Koen. And Koen is located here, in the middle of the square. In the meantime, we place a crane worker in one of the alleys next to the prison. And when we place the crane so that it, at its maximum height, makes a 45 degree angle, together with that pole, we shoot a grappling hook with a bungee chord and a heavy cable. And that we attach to this pole. So the only thing you'll need to to is grab hold of Koen and cut the chord...

[demonstrates with the bottles]

Peter: And at an open area nearby we have placed some mattresses, where you'll land. And the car's there too, so we can drive straight back to the Netherlands.

Martin: [laughs at the hilariously stupid idea]

Bennie: Fine. We'll do it.

Martin: Bennie, what we don't understand is that this guy's only had some parking tickets and for that he's in the best secured prison of Belgium.

Bennie: Life ain't fair.

Bennie: [Koen is robbing a bank] It's Koen. He's at the bank, having some trouble filling in his deposit form.

[Koen talks to Katja in the middle of a car chase; Bennie is driving]

Koen Mast: What's your name?

Katja Wielaard: Katja.

Koen Mast: You said something about a funeral?

Katja Wielaard: That's the funeral of a girl who committed suicide because of a broken heart.

Bennie: [driving] Hello!

Koen Mast: What's that girl's name?

Katja Wielaard: Katja.

Bennie: Could you quit that yapping? I'm trying to concentrate here, okay!

Martin: [about Koen] Bennie, he murdered five women! And raped them!

Bennie: [about the rapes] Jees man, they didn't feel a thing. They were dead already.

[Bennie talks to Dr. John, who is treating a moaning man]

Bennie: Hey. Hey, you. My father just told me he's been given up. And you say you can't do anything.

Dr. John: Not much. I'm afraid Mr. Mast is no longer a candidate for an organ donation.

Bennie: Come again?

Dr. John: Mr. Mast has a very poor condition and is already at an old age...

Bennie: Because he's had a tough life! I'd like to see you at that age!

[to the moaning man]

Bennie: When do you ever shut up, man! I'm talking to the doctor!

Dr. John: You don't understand. There just aren't enough donors.

Bennie: I can get a few accidentally run-over homeless bums here within an hour.

Dr. John: [laughs nervously] The donor must be of the same blood type, preferably a relative...

Bennie: [kicks the moaning man] *I* am a relative.

Bennie: [pulls the Moroccan mom from her car] Keys!

[mom nods]

Bennie: Keys! Ke-heys!

[she nods again]

Bennie: Keys!

[Moroccan dad gives the keys]

Tetro: You stay away from me, got it?

Bennie: Whatever you say, Angie...

Tetro: Angie is dead. My name is Tetro.

Josefina: JOSE!

[throws Jose's violin on the road, where it gets crushed by a car]

Jose: NOOOO!

Tetro: Those two love each other very much.

Bennie: That's love?

[from trailer]

Carlo: What has happened to our family?

Bennie: Rivalry.

[from trailer]

Bennie: [referring to Tetro's play] So what was it about?

Tetro: Rivalry.

Bennie: You're writing the story of our father...

[from trailer]

Tetro: Why'd you find me?

Bennie: Everything I've loved or been interested in has been because of you. You disappeared, without even an explanation...

Bennie: I've gotta examine them to find out who drilled those holes in their skulls. It probably was some maniac who thought he was cracking a safe!
