    Brian: To some people, that's more important.

    Dom: ...That your car?

    Dom: [turning to Brian] Smoke him.

  • [Dominic breaks up a fight between Vince and Brian]

    Dom: [checks Brian's wallet] Brian Earl Spilner. Sounds like a serial killer. Is that what you are? Don't come around here again.

    Brian: Pinkslip for what? The Jetta?

    Jesse: Yeah.

    Brian: You can't bet your dad's car.

    Jesse: It's all right. I ain't losin'. This fool is running a Honda 2000. I'll win. Then me and my dad can roll together when he gets out of prison. It's all good.

    [nods to his imaginary audience]

    Aron Ralston: [as himself] Hey. Hi. Oh, gosh, it's... It's a real pleasure to be here. Thank you. Thank you! Heh. Eh-heh. Em... Hey, can I say hi to my mom and dad?

    [as Stephenson]

    Aron Ralston: Mom and Dad! Mustn't forget Mom and Dad. Right, Aron?

    [as himself]

    Aron Ralston: Yeah, that's right. Eh... Hey, Mom. I'm really sorry I didn't answer the phone the other night. If I had, I would have told you where I was going, and then... Well, I probably wouldn't be here right now.

    [as Stephenson]

    Aron Ralston: That's for sure! But like I always say... your supreme selfishness is our gain. Thank you, Aron. Anyone else you'd like to say hi to?

    [as himself]

    Aron Ralston: Ehm... Well, Brion at work.

    Brian: Hi, Aron!

    Aron Ralston: [as himself] Hey! Eh... I probably won't be making it into work today.

    [Stephenson-Aron and the audience laughs]

    Aron Ralston: [as Stephenson] Get a load of this guy! Oh, wait. Hold on... We've got a question coming in from another Aron in Loser Canyon, Utah! Aron asks...

    [as caller]

    Aron Ralston: Am I right in thinking that even if Brion from work notifies the police, they'll put a 24-hour hold on it before they file a Missing Persons report? Which means you won't become officially missing until midday Wednesday, at the earliest?

    [as himself]

    Aron Ralston: Yeah. You're right on the money there, Aron.

    [the audience laughs]

    Aron Ralston: Which means, I'll probably be dead by then.

    [the audience laughs again]

    Aron Ralston: [as Stephenson] Aron from Loser Canyon, Utah. How do you know so much?

    [as caller]

    Aron Ralston: Well, I'll tell you how I know so much. I volunteer for the rescue service. You see, I'm something of a... well, a big fucking hard hero.

    [the audience laughs]

    Aron Ralston: And I can do everything on my own, you see?

    [as Stephenson]

    Aron Ralston: I do see! Now... Is it true that despite, or maybe because you're a big fucking hard hero... you didn't tell anyone where you were going?

    [as himself]

    Aron Ralston: Yeah. That's absolutely correct.

    [as Stephenson]

    Aron Ralston: Anyone...?

    [as himself, shaking his head]

    Aron Ralston: Anyone.

    [as Stephenson]

    Aron Ralston: Oops...

    [the audience laughs]

    Aron Ralston: [silently repeats] Oops. Oops.

    Brian: You're bluffing!

    ZeBadDee: Try me, you spineless slime-spreader!

  • [Dylan is looking at the buttons on the train, and sees one marked with a spring]

    Dylan: Hey, maybe this is some kind of anti-spring device.

    [he presses button. Brian is catapulted upwards]

    Brian: I can fly!

    [looks down]

    Brian: No, I can't.

    Dylan: Or maybe it's an ejector seat.

  • [raising their glasses in a toast]

  • Andrew: What do you need a fake I.D. for?

    Brian: So I can vote.

  • Andrew: Look, you guys keep up your talking and Vernon's gonna come right in here. I got a meet this Saturday and I'm not gonna miss it on account of you boneheads.

    Bender: Oh, and wouldn't that be a bite, huh? Missing a whole wrestling meet!

    Andrew: You wouldn't know anything about it, faggot! You never competed in your whole life!

    Bender: Oh, I know. I feel all empty inside because of it. I have such a deep admiration for guys who roll around on the floor with other guys.

    Andrew: Ah, you'd never make it. You don't have any goals.

    Bender: Oh, but I do!

    Andrew: Yeah?

    Bender: I wanna be just... like... you. I figure all I need is a lobotomy and some tights!

    Brian: You wear tights?

    Andrew: No, I don't wear tights. I wear the required uniform.

    Brian: Tights.

    Andrew: [short pause] Shut up!

  • Brian: Are you gonna be, like, a shopping bag lady? You know, like, sit in alleyways and, like, talk to buildings and wear men's shoes and that kinda thing?

  • Brian: You fucked my girlfriend, dude!

    Pete: One time... for a week.

  • [Last Barman poem]

    Brian: I am the last barman poet / I see America drinking the fabulous cocktails I make / Americans getting stinky on something I stir or shake / The sex on the beach / The schnapps made from peach / The velvet hammer / The Alabama slammer. / I make things with juice and froth / The pink squirrel / The three-toed sloth. / I make drinks so sweet and snazzy / The iced tea / The kamakazi / The orgasm / The death spasm / The Singapore sling / The dingaling. / America you've just been devoted to every flavor I got / But if you want to got loaded / Why don't you just order a shot? / Bar is open.

  • Brian: Days get shorter and shorter, nights longer and longer, before you know it, your life is just one long night with a few comatose daylight hours.

  • Bonnie: Please, I don't want to end it this way.

    Brian: Jesus, everything ends badly, otherwise it wouldn't end.

    Uncle Pat: No! No!

    Eleanor: Why? I am a bitch.

  • [Flanagan's advice to his unborn child:]

    Brian: If Jordan gives birth to a fine Irish son / There will be Cocktails and Dreams for him one day to run / A business that will yield the financial windfall / To be franchised in every suburban shopping mall. / If a daughter arrives to bless our clan / I guess the shit will finally hit the fan / But this I shall promise thee / I'll never let her marry a guy like me. / Still if our child is the naughtiest of girls or the wildest of young men / I swear I'll be the best dad I can / And never ever get spooked again.

  • Brian: You're offering me a job?

  • [Jordan has returned to her father's Park Avenue penthouse to find Brian arguing with him]

  • [first lines]

    Brian: Come on, put it to the floor! Come on! Let's go!

  • Brian: You don't need to put your P in a V right now.

    Peter Bretter: No, I need to B my L on someone's T's.

  • Brian: You gotta get your shit together, man.

    Peter Bretter: I'm trying to. It's so hard here. Brian, everywhere I look I'm reminded of her, okay? Like, she got me this, okay because I would always leave my cereal boxes open, and the cereal would get stale, and so one day I came home, and she had this waiting for me, because it keeps my cereal fresh. And now I have the freshest cereal.

  • Brian: Look. Liz and I, we think the world of Sarah. We think she's great. But, and I'm just being honest here, every time she would come over to our house, she always acted, you know, like a... like a little bitch. Okay, okay, okay, pump the brakes.

    Peter Bretter: Dating Sarah is not like dating Liz, okay? Sarah is better than Liz!

    Brian: You really want to have this conversation? Do you really want to have this conversation?

    Peter Bretter: Yes.

    Brian: [screaming] She is the mother of my unborn child!

    Peter Bretter: [to Anne and her friend] I want to have sexual activity with either of you

    [Anne begins laughing]

    Peter Bretter: I just came out of a five year relationship so I'm not looking for anything serious, just sexual activity.

    Brian: Pump the brakes.

    Peter Bretter: [to Anne's friend] You wanna come home with me

    [to Anne]

    Peter Bretter: You wanna come home with me?

    Ann at the Bar: [laughing] You're cracking me up!

  • Brian: Waste not, want not.

    Johnny: And other clichés.

    Brian: But a cliché is full of truth, otherwise it wouldn't be a cliché.

    Johnny: Which is in itself a cliché.

  • Brian: What are you doing here?

    Johnny: Well, I was standing over *there*, but that didn't seem to be working out for me, so I moved over here, but this one isn't much better.

  • Johnny: Has nobody not told you, Brian, that you've got this kind of gleeful preoccupation with the future? I wouldn't even mind, but you don't even have a fuckin' future, I don't have a future. Nobody has a future. The party's over. Take a look around you man, it's all breaking up. Are you not familiar with the book of Revelations of St. John, the final book of the Bible prophesying the apocalypse?... He forced everyone to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead so that no one shall be able to buy or sell unless he has the mark, which is the name of the beast, or the number of his name, and the number of the beast is 6-6-6... What can such a specific prophecy mean? What is the mark? Well the mark, Brian, is the barcode, the ubiquitous barcode that you'll find on every bog roll and packet of johnnies and every poxy pork pie, and every fuckin' barcode is divided into two parts by three markers, and those three markers are always represented by the number 6. 6-6-6! Now what does it say? No one shall be able to buy or sell without that mark. And now what they're planning to do in order to eradicate all credit card fraud and in order to precipitate a totally cashless society, what they're planning to do, what they've already tested on the American troops, they're going to subcutaneously laser tattoo that mark onto your right hand, or onto your forehead. They're going to replace plastic with flesh. Fact! In the same book of Revelations when the seven seals are broken open on the day of judgment and the seven angels blow the trumpets, when the third angel blows her bugle, wormwood will fall from the sky, wormwood will poison a third part of all the waters and a third part of all the land and many many many people will die! Now do you know what the Russian translation for wormwood is?... Chernobyl! Fact. On August the 18th, 1999, the planets of our solar system are gonna line up into the shape of a cross... They're gonna line up in the signs of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, and Scorpio, which just happen to correspond to the four beasts of the apocalypse, as mentioned in the book of Daniel, another fuckin' fact! Do you want me to go on? The end of the world is nigh, Brian, the game is up!

    Brian: I don't believe that. Life can't just come to a stop.

    Johnny: All right, I'm not saying that life will end or the world will end, or the universe will cease to exist. But man will cease to exist! Just like the dinosaurs passed into extinction, the same thing will happen to us! We're not fuckin' important! We're just a crap idea!

  • Johnny: And what is it what goes on in this postmodern gas chamber?

    Brian: Nothing. It's empty.

    Johnny: So what is it you guard, then?

    Brian: Space.

    Johnny: You're guarding space? That's stupid, isn't it? Because someone could break in there and steal all the fuckin' space and you wouldn't know it's gone, would you?

    Brian: Good point.

  • Johnny: Look, if you take the whole of time and represent it by one year, were only in the first few moments of the first of January. There's a long way to go. Only now were not going to spout extra limbs and wings and fins because evolution itself is evolving. When it comes, the apocalypse itself will be part of the process of that leap of evolution.

    Brian: Yeah, well. Whatever happens mankind will not cease to exist

    Johnny: We must! By the very definition of apocalypse, mankind must cease to exist, at least in a material form.

    Brian: What do you mean, in a material form?

    Johnny: We will evolve.

    Brian: What into?

    Johnny: We'll evolve into something that transcends matter, into a species of pure thought. Are you with me?

    Brian: Yeah... like a ghost

    Johnny: Not like a fucking ghost you big girl's blouse! Into something thats well beyond our comprehension. Into a universal consciousness. Into God. Who is by the same principle that time is.

    Brian: You don't believe in God

    Johnny: Of course I believe in God

  • Brian: Would you like a mint?

    Johnny: Is this a new policy? Ply the culprit with menthol?

  • Brian: Yes, it is a boring job. Bloody boring, actually. But all you can see is the tip of the iceberg, the present, the tedious here and now. What you're incapable of seeing is the rest of time, the rest of the iceberg, past and the future - my future - which is a very interesting place to be. The good thing about this job is that it gives me time and space to contemplate the future at my leisure, whilst the city sleeps, free from the cacophonous curiosity of the hoi polloi. So, you see, it's not a boring job. And I'm not boring either.

  • Brian: I'm not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly!

    Girl: Only the true Messiah denies His divinity.

    Brian: What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right! I am the Messiah!

    Followers: He is! He is the Messiah!

    Brian: Now, fuck off!

    [silence]

    Arthur: How shall we fuck off, O Lord?

  • Brian: Please, please, please listen! I've got one or two things to say.

    The Crowd: Tell us! Tell us both of them!

    Brian: Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't NEED to follow ME, You don't NEED to follow ANYBODY! You've got to think for your selves! You're ALL individuals!

    The Crowd: Yes! We're all individuals!

  • Ex-Leper: Okay, sir, my final offer: half a shekel for an old ex-leper?

    Brian: Did you say "ex-leper"?

    Ex-Leper: That's right, sir, 16 years behind a veil and proud of it, sir.

    Brian: Well, what happened?

    Ex-Leper: Oh, cured, sir.

    Brian: Cured?

    Ex-Leper: Yes sir, bloody miracle, sir. Bless you!

    Brian: Who cured you?

    Ex-Leper: Jesus did, sir. I was hopping along, minding my own business, all of a sudden, up he comes, cures me! One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next minute my livelihood's gone. Not so much as a by-your-leave! "You're cured, mate." Bloody do-gooder.

  • Brian: What will they do to me?

    Ben the Prisoner: Oh you'll probably get away with crucifixion.

    Brian: CRUCIFIXION?

    Ben the Prisoner: Yeah, first offense.

  • Ex-Leper: Half a dinare for me bloody life story?

    Brian: There's no pleasing some people.

    Ben the Prisoner: You've had a hard time? I've been here five years, they only hung me the right way up yesterday.

  • Reg: [arriving at Brian's crucifixion] Hello, Sibling Brian.

    Brian: Thank God you've come, Reg.

    Reg: Well, I think I should point out first, Brian, in all fairness, we are not, in fact, the rescue committee. However, I have been asked to read the following prepare statement on behalf of the movement. "We the People's Front of Judea, brackets, officials, end brackets, do hereby convey our sincere fraternal and sisterly greetings to you, Brian, on this, the occasion of your martyrdom. "

    Brian: What?

    Reg: "Your death will stand as a landmark in the continuing struggle to liberate the parent land from the hands of the Roman imperialist aggressors, excluding those concerned with drainage, medicine, roads, housing, education, viniculture and any other Romans contributing to the welfare of Jews of both sexes and hermaphrodites. Signed, on behalf of the P. F. J. , etc. " And I'd just like to add, on a personal note, my own admiration, for what you're doing for us, Brian, on what must be, after all, for you a very difficult time.

  • Mrs. Big Nose: [a crowd is listening to Jesus speak] Don't pick your nose!

    Mr. Big Nose: I wasn't pickin' my nose! I was scratchin' it!

    Mrs. Big Nose: You was pickin' it, while you was talkin' to that lady!

    Mr. Big Nose: I wasn't!

    Mrs. Big Nose: Leave it alone! Give it a rest!

    Stan: Do you mind? I can't 'ear a word he's sayin'!

    Mrs. Big Nose: Don't you 'Do you mind' me! I was talkin' to my 'usband!

    Mr. Big Nose: Don't you swear at my wife!

    Mrs. Big Nose: Don't you call my 'usband 'Big Nose'!

    Stan: Well, he 'as got a big nose!

    Man #1: [trying to hear Jesus] Would you be quiet, please. What was that?

    Stan: I don't know; I was too busy talkin' to 'Big Nose'.

    Man #2: I think it was: 'Blessed are the cheese-makers'!

    Wife: What's so special about the cheese-makers?

    Husband: Well, obviously, it's not meant to be taken literally - it refers to any manufacturer of... dairy products.

    Stan: See? If you 'adn't been goin' on, we'd 'ave 'eard that, 'Big Nose'!

    Mr. Big Nose: Say that once more - I'll smash your bloody face in!

    Stan: Better keep listening; might be a bit about 'Blessed are the Big Noses'.

    Brian: Lay off him!

    Stan: Oh, you're not so bad yourself, conk-face... Where are you two from? 'Nose City'?

    Brian: What do you mean?

    Ben the Prisoner: You must have slipped him a few shekels, eh?

    Ben the Prisoner: Oh, what wouldn't I give to be spat at in the face? I sometimes hang awake at night, dreaming of being spat at in the face.

    Brian: Well it's not exactly friendly, is it? They have me in manacles!

    Ben the Prisoner: Manacles! Ooooh, my idea of heaven, is to be allowed to be put in manacles. Just for a few hours... they must think the sun shines out your ass, sonny.

  • Reg: If you want to join the People's Front of Judea, you have to really hate the Romans.

  • [On the run from Roman soldiers, Brain lands on a public stage prophets. Brian quickly decides to disgues himself as one]

    Brian: [Unsure and stuttering] Don't... pass judgement... on other people, or you might be judged yourself.

    Passer-by: [as if shocked] What?

    Brian: I said, don't pass judgement on others or you might be judged yourself.

    Passer-by: [in small, squeaky voice] Who me? Oh, Thank you very much!

  • Brian: Well, why don't you go and tell him you want to be a leper again?

    Ex-Leper: Uh, I could do that sir, yeah. Yeah, I could do that I suppose. What I was thinking was I was going to ask him if he could make me a bit lame in one leg during the middle of the week. You know, something beggable, but not leprosy, which is a pain in the ass to be blunt and excuse my French, sir.

  • [Brian is explaining why there's a crowd outside their house]

    Brian: They must have just popped by!

    Brian's mother: Popped by? SWARMED by, more like! There's a multitude out there!

  • Brian: You have to be different!

    The Crowd: Yes, we are all different!

    Small lonely voice: I'm not!

  • Brian: You silly sods!

  • Brian: No, no. Please, please please listen. I've got one or two things to say.

    The Crowd: Tell us! Tell us both of them!

    Brian: Look, you've got it all wrong. You don't need to follow me. You don't need to follow anybody! You've got to think for yourselves! You're all individuals!

  • Brian: [in his book] Thousands of years ago, somebody came up with the idea of impermanence of the beauty and inevitability of change. I'm pretty sure they had just been dumped.

    Brian: I had a long time to consider the value of memory, and the idea that just because something doesn't last forever doesn't mean its worth is diminished. Maybe it was just a rationalization - easier on the soul than mourning what might have been - the life unlived. I honestly don't know, but I chose to believe in memory. I chose to believe in her. I chose to believe that the bond was never broken and that we carried each other in our hearts. As a secret singularity. She made me a writer. She made me a man.

    Brian: There would be other loves. Even great loves. But she was right, only one remained perfect.

  • [last lines]

    Brian: I don't know if I'll ever see her again. I don't know if that's a good thing, or a bad one. But I will promise you this. Your favorite story, whatever it might be, was written for one reader.

  • Brian: As little as you want to write when you're happy, that's now much you have to write when you're miserable. Your passions need to go somewhere, and this is the only place left. Your suffering has to be good for something. It's not for me to say if the words were worth the price.

  • [first lines]

    Brian: Some of the best writing in New York won't be found in books, or movies, or plays, but on the benches of Central Park. Read the benches, and you understand.

  • Brian: In New York, you're never more than 20 feet away from someone you know, or someone you're meant to know.

  • Arielle: Just so you know, you're a natural lover. Your body expresses beautifully what's in your heart.

    Brian: I'm just going to write that down...

  • Brian: So you're married?

    Arielle: Ofcourse, what did you think?

    Brian: I thought you were *not* married.

    Arielle: Why would you think that?

    Brian: Why would I *not* think that? For one thing you don't wear a wedding ring.

    Arielle: So American. You need a sign post for everything or you'll completely lose your way.

  • Brian: Your children are amazing.

    Valery: [chuckles] Thank you.

    Brian: Are they real, or are they from a catalogue?

    Valery: Uh, they're from a catalogue.

  • Arielle: [in wine shop] Okay, we'll start very simply. Taste, please, this glass. Is it white or red?

    Brian: [blindfolded] Red.

    Arielle: My God.

    Brian: [removing his blindfold] Ah, really? You gotta be shitting me!

    Arielle: You have the palate of a water buffalo. That is about to change. Replace the blindfold, please. Take a small piece of baguette to cleanse the palate.

    Brian: [scene shifts to a bar] Okay. Please drink from this glass. Is it the Miller High Life, or the Guinness stout?

    Arielle: The Miller High Life.

    Brian: Oh boy.

    Arielle: What?

    [in French]

    Arielle: Fuck!

    Brian: We have a lot of work to do.

    Arielle: I was sure it was Miller High Life.

    Brian: Now please take a buffalo chicken wing to obliterate the palate.

  • Brian: It's one of two things. Or possibly both.

    Arielle: What is?

    Brian: Either no one is immune to your charms, or the world really can surprise you with its grace.

  • Sam: A married French woman, 33 years of age, with two children. You could stop that sentence anywhere along the way, and have reason enough not to be in the relationship.

    Brian: Dad...

    Sam: These are the same French who didn't let us fly over their country on the way to Khadafi.

    Brian: Okay, but it's not her Frenchness that's really bothering you.

    Sam: No, but I can't discuss her marital or parental status, because if I do my pancreas will explode. So instead, I'm dwelling on the relatively benign, but still objectionable issue of her Frenchness.

    Brian: Okay, but...

    Sam: In the war, the French couldn't wait to give up their Jews.

    Brian: Nobody could wait to give up their Jews...

    Sam: Also, they surrendered three times in the same war. Have you any idea how hard that is to do?

    Brian: What does that have to do with anything?

    Sam: Because this is who you're dealing with.

  • Jane: Life is a collection of moments. The idea is to have as many good ones as you can.

    Brian: See, I was taught that there are no free lunches. That one day, the rent comes due, the other shoe drops and you suffer a thousand fold.

    Jane: Who raised you?

    Brian: Jews.

  • Sam: [arriving at restaurant] Your mother's standing.

    Brian: I know.

    Arlene: They have no folding chairs here.

    Sam: It's The Carlyle, Arlene.

    [to Arielle]

    Sam: You know when we first met, she only sent back entrées. Now it's chairs.

  • Brian: In my culture, if we didn't have things to judge harshly, we wouldn't know what to do all day.

  • Arielle: I'm sad. It was the beginning.

    Brian: Of what?

    Arielle: Belief.

  • Brian: Till then, then.

  • Arielle: A 5 to 7 relationship is a relationship outside of marriage.

    Brian: Seriously, the french actually block out time for that?

    Arielle: No.

    Brian: 1 to 3 lunch, 3 to 5 conference call, 5 to 7 commit adultery.

    Arielle: Look...

    Brian: Do you set aside time to break other commandments? Do you cover at 9:30? Worship false idols from 10 to noon?

  • Brian: Arielle, you're older than I am, you're wiser I'm sure and you've seen much more of the world. And you're beautiful, and elegant, and smart, and funny, and interesting, and you feel like family which is wonderful.

    Arielle: Are you seriously telling me that the "but" is coming at the end of this sentence?

  • Brian: Sometimes, life is... really something.

    Arielle: Maybe you should write fortune cookies.

  • Brian: [Arielle and Arlene kiss goodbye] Look at that dad, she fucked her twice.

  • Brian: America is alive, okay and you have a somewhat downbeat world view.

    Arielle: No, I don't. And prove it.

    Brian: Prove what?

    Arielle: That America is still alive.

    Brian: Look around.

    Arielle: They don't seem particularly alive to me. Prove it.

    Brian: Alright.

    [He kisses her]

  • Arielle: [talking about her husband's lover] One Day, I will stand next to her at his funeral.

    Brian: Is that gonna be anytime soon?

  • Arielle: Always look the person in the eye when you touch glasses.

    Brian: I know. 7 years of bad luck.

    Arielle: Bad luck? That's the american version?

    Brian: Yes. What's the french?

    Arielle: 7 years of bad sex.

    Brian: Good lord.

    Arielle: I think that tells you everything you need to know about our two cultures.

    Brian: Yes. Yours is very optimistic. I mean a lot of people after, like, year 5 of bad sex, they'd give up; but you guys really hang in there.

  • Arielle: Can no american watch a film without popcorn?

    Brian: That's right.

    Arielle: Do you chomp popcorn when you read literature?

    Brian: [nods side to side] I eat sunflower seeds and I spit the shells into a little cup.

  • Brian: Dad, the meaning of the verb "baiser" which used to mean to kiss has changed a bit over the years.

    Sam: It has?

    Brian: Yes.

    Sam: What does it mean now?

    Brian: [whispers] It means to fuck.

    Sam: Oh god!

    [to Arielle]

    Sam: Pardon my french.

  • Brian: Je t'aime... Just for the record.

  • Jane: Get your head right. Get your head right right now because you're about to have the most important conversation of your life. And it's not just your future here. It's mine too. So can you do it? Can you put the French lady out of your mind for nine seconds? Please. Just stick out your hand. Say, 'How do you do, sir?' like a normal human being. So you can have the career that you have always dreamed of... or are you just gonna blow it and incinerate and dissolve like a Kleenex in a fat man's sneeze? Is your head right? Is your head right? Is *your head* right?

    Brian: You're much crazier than I'am.

  • Brian: [thinking] Brian Bloom. I believe I'm expected. What? Don't say that. Brian Bloom. Invited guest. No, no, no, that's silly.

    [door opens]

    Brian: Hi! Uh... Brian Bloom reporting for dinner.

  • Mr. Solomon: Come in, but take off shoes.

    Brian: You're wearin' yours.

    Mr. Solomon: It's my house.

  • Brian: First of all to understand what happened to killer, you gotta understand who killer the dog was. Now killer was born to a three-legged bitch of a mother. He was always ashamed of this, man. And then right after that he's adopted by this man, Tito Liebowitz he's a small time gun runner and a rotweiler fight promoter. So he puts killer into training. They see killer's good. He is damn good. But then he had the fight of his life. They pit him against his brother nibbles. And killer said "no man that's my brother, I can't fight nibbles" but they made him fight anyway, and killer, he killed nibbles. Killer said "that's it!" he called off all his fights, and he started doing crack, and he freaked out. Then in a rage, he collapsed, and his heart no longer beat. wow.

    Thurgood Jenkins: You know uh, I never thought I'd say this to anybody, but you two smoke entirely too much reefer.

Get some Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars, a whole lot, make sure chocolate, gotta have chocolate, man.

    Kenny: That's it?

    Thurgood Jenkins: Yeah, get me a box of condoms, and, what was that thing we used to eat back in the day? What was it... oh yeah, pussy.

    Kenny: You got it.

  • Brian: Lady, seven bucks for a used Kenny Loggins record? I'll give you five.

    Record Store Customer: Ugh-huh, he autographed it himself.

    Brian: All right, I'll give you four.

  • Brian: I'm not gonna do what everyone thinks I'm gonna do and... FLIP OUT man... all I wanna know is... who's coming with me? Who's coming, man? Who's coming with me?

  • Brian: For 400 dollars I got Jerry Garcia in a pouch, man!

    Thurgood Jenkins: Who the fuck told you that?

    Brian: The man who sold it to me, Barry Garcia.

    Thurgood Jenkins: So who is that, Jerry Garcia's brother?

    Brian: No, actually it was Andy Garcia's brother.

  • Thurgood Jenkins: [to Mary Jane] Listen, I really like you. I was just wondering maybe if you're interested we can go out later and get some ice cream or something...

    Scarface: OOH! MOTHER FUCKER SAID ICE CREAM!

    Brian: BLAH BLAH ICE CREAM! YOU'RE SUCH A DORK, MAN!

    Thurgood Jenkins: Damn!

  • Brian: You said you gave Mary Jane a pearl necklace!

    Thurgood Jenkins: Obviously you missed the whole point of that story, Brian.

    Brian: ...Fucking impossible, man!

    Larry Gigli: Okay?

    Brian: That was good.

  • [it is decided Jack is to go to school]

    Karen Powell: You sure he'll be all right?

    Brian: Honey, he'll be fine.

    [they kiss Jack and go to bed]

    Brian: [to himself] It's the rest of the world I'm worried about.

  • Karen Powell: Woodruff doesn't know what he's talking about.

    Brian: If he doesn't know what he's talking about, then why are we paying him all this money to tutor Jack?

    Karen Powell: I blame him for filling Jack's head with all these ideas of going to school.

    Brian: Imagine that, a teacher wanting a kid to go to school.

  • Brian: You know I was just thinking about the first time you ever rode a bike. Remember that?

    Jack: Oh yeah.

    Brian: You were so determined to ride. You kept wiping out and nearly took out a couple of the neighbors. It took a couple days until you finally got it, and look at you now! I mean, you're riding like a pro!

  • Jack: [rambling into the phone really fast] Hey dad! I got to play basketball today. They picked me! Not just because I'm humongous, because I'm real good. Yeah I scored a thousand points. Yeah right it was only a hundred. I'm kidding it was fourteen. I scored! Yea, and I met this really cool kid named Louie. Not Louis, Louie. Yeah. His mom gave me some matches.

    Brian: Okay slow down buddy, slow down.

    Jack: Hey dad, Louie has some dirty magazines under his bed. What are dirty magazines? I got to be principal. Well, I pretended to be. And I got a lot of homework to do. I got a great homework assignment. And you know what? Miss Marquez ate one of my red gummybears and she said 'way to go,' but not because of the red gummybears. Because of the way I play basketball. Yeah it was great. She said Shaq better watch his back! She's what grandpa says is a real piece of work. She's really great. What are you doing?

  • Jack: Can I sleep in with you?

    Brian: Yeah, oh course.

  • Davenport: [coaxing the children for a shot] You'll just fall asleep and then you'll see Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

    Brian: I don't believe in Santa Claus.

    Dr. Carter: What? You don't believe in Santa?

  • Sarah: [to the scientist who want her to breathe nitrous oxide] I don't know, my parents told me never to breathe anything from strangers.

    Madea: [to Helen] Girl, I know it ain't who I think it is.

  • Brian: Elmer? You fucking named him Elmer?

  • Aylmer: You're a wreck, Brian. You've got to relax. Why don't you put me on your neck and 'calm down?'

    Brian: No way! It's not gonna happen again!

    Aylmer: What isn't?

    Brian: Killing people!

    Aylmer: Oh.

    [laughs]

    Aylmer: I thought you meant getting high!

    Brian: We can't keep killing people every time you're hungry!

    Aylmer: Oh yes we can. We'll do anything I want us to do. You're mine now, Brian. I *own* you...

  • Aylmer: [Elmer taunts Brian as he coughs and retches on the floor] What's the matter, Brian? Feeling ill?

    Brian: Shut up!

    Aylmer: Oh, please Brian! You're not gonna throw up in front of me, are you? I don't want to watch this. Why'd you bring me here? Why couldn't you leave me home? I'll tell you why, Brian. It's because you know you're not going to win. You know you're gonna need my juice.

    [laughs]

    Aylmer: You know the pain is going to get so great that only my juice will stop it. Only my juice will help you. You know that, don't you, Brian? Deep down inside you know that...

  • Aylmer: This is the start of your new life, Brian. A life without worry or pain or loneliness, a life filled instead with colors and music and, euphoria... A life of light and pleasure.

    Brian: But who are you? What are you?

    Aylmer: I am you, Brian. I'm all you'll ever need.

    Brian: I don't understand.

    Aylmer: You will, Brian. From now on your life will take on a whole new light, and all you have to do is look into the light, and listen. Listen to the light, Brian, just listen to the light...

    Brian: Yes, yes, I'd like to again, but... I don't see it now.

    Aylmer: Then I'll make you a deal. I'll show you the light, if you'll take me for a walk.

    Brian: A walk? Where?

    Aylmer: Anywhere you like. I'm, uh, hungry.

    Brian: Wait, wait, I'm confused! I'm not following any of this.

    Aylmer: Then don't worry about it. You don't need to worry about anything ever again. I'll do all your thinking for you. Just put me on the back off your neck, and everything will be fine.

    Brian: My neck? Oh, you mean the hole, I-wait, I don't know.

    Aylmer: Trust me, Brian, trust me...

  • Brian: You know how someone's appearance can change the longer you know them? How a really attractive person, if you don't like them, can become more and more ugly; whereas someone you might not have even have noticed... that you wouldn't look at more than once, if you love them, can become the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. All you want to do is be near them.

  • Abby: I have to tell you something.

    Brian: What?

    Abby: The other night on the phone...I'm pregnant.

    Brian: Oh darling...are you sure it was me?

    Abby: I don't know. I made a lot of phone calls that night.

  • Dr. Abby Barnes: How's it going?

    Brian: Yeah, well, he snores, which was a problem, um, but we solved it.

    Dr. Abby Barnes: How'd you do that?

    Brian: Well, he slept on my face and I couldn't hear him any more.

  • Abby: You forgot to say I love you because you're beautiful.

    Brian: No, I didn't. I mean, she is. But that's not why I love her.

  • Abby: OK. So say you meet one of these no sparks women, and you really take the time to get to know her and then you become intellectually stimulated by her. You just really enjoy her personality, thereby igniting all your lust and passion. Have you ever thought about that?

    Brian: Are you going to eat that?

  • [over the phone]

    Dr. Abby Barnes: Say something.

    Brian: I want to make love to you.

    Dr. Abby Barnes: Never on the first phone call.

  • Abby: What are we discussing?

    Brian: Well there's the issue of Hank, who's in a terrible state without you.

  • Brian: Abby, I only ever loved one woman and I don't want to lose her twice.

  • Brian: Throw something to me. Throw something you've been wearing and then I'll go.

    [Abby throws her sneaker out the window and Brian catches it]

    Brian: Wow...it's a Ked!

    Cranky Neighbor: Will you shut up?

  • Brian: Who are you? What is this? Is this some kind of weird game you two play for kicks, you take some guy and see how much you can screw him up!

    Abby: No, it was a mistake.

  • Brian: You're dumb and beautiful, and you're smart and - I gotta go.

    Dr. Abby Barnes: Brian! Oh.

  • Brian: Guess some other lucky person will make that $4,000 a month.

    BrianMadea: You know what? I believe it would be the greatest Christianity thing I could do to help somebody in need. So I'm gonna go ahead and make up these sheets and clean up.

  • Brian: [to the Klansmen] This zemel has been used to chop off literally hundreds of foreskins... what better to shave the heads of a bunch of pricks like you?

  • Brian: [as he prepares to shave the heads of the Klansmen] We will almost certainly have to retire this zemel when this is all over!

  • Brian: Yes, well, apparently you were a little... drunk at your tutorial today.

    Dr. Frank Bryant: No.

    Brian: No?

    Dr. Frank Bryant: No. I was a lot drunk.

    Dr. Frank Bryant: A drink at the moment.

  • Brian: Could you be nice to me?

    Gloria: I have got a needle in my ass right now.

    Dorothy: What is the matter with him? Is he German?

  • Lee: All queens rise

  • Larry Arbogast: Did you know women are 20 times more likely to be depressed than men? Maybe more, can't remember the exact number - it's a lot more.

    Brian: That's good... for men.

    Larry Arbogast: Not really, when you think about it heterosexually.

  • Al Lolly: Alright... I'll send my girl by this afternoon... take a look, work out the financing. Fourteen grand is the price you quoted me not a penny more so don't try to Jew the price up on me. You're not... Jewish, are you?

    Brian: No, I'm not, but there's...

    Al Lolly: [interrupting] Good. Just a figure of speech. I'm half Jew myself. I work with Jews. They Jew me all day long so I can say it.

  • Happy: [lying on bed] Hey! Can you see up my skirt?

    Brian: [looking] Not really.

    Happy: Great!

  • Al Lolly: [getting in car after Happy and Brian secretly had sex there] Smells like a wharf net in here.

    Happy: What?

    Brian: What?

    Al Lolly: You heard me. Smells like low tide.

    Happy: That's weird.

    Brian: I don't smell anything.

  • Happy: What are you reading?

    Brian: Uh, it's an article about a Tibetan Rinpoche who plays basketball with some other monks in Arizona. It says they got in fight with five advertising executives in front of a bunch of kids. What are you reading?

    Happy: Um... mostly just ads.

  • Happy: Do you have any interest in having sex with me?

    Brian: [swallows] Yeah.

    Happy: Really?

    Brian: Uh huh.

    Happy: Now?

    Brian: Uh huh.

  • Mr. Weathersby: Here we are, walking together in the woods and if you can aspire to the walking in the woods with your kids after they've made it as far as we've made it, then I-I think you've done a right thing.

    Brian: [whispers] That makes sense.

    Mr. Weathersby: [whispers] That makes sense? Not really.

  • Brian: It sounds kinda shady.

    Conner Williams: Does it? Or does it sound *awesome*?

  • Al Lolly: You mess her up, I'll kill your parents. Your parents still alive?

    Brian: Yes.

    Al Lolly: Good.

  • Brian: [first lines - watching rats swimming] Okay, he stopped.

    Larry Arbogast: Which one?

    Brian: S-seven.

    Larry Arbogast: Start the stopwatch.

    Brian: Is he okay?

    Larry Arbogast: Yeah, he's fine... Stop.

    Brian: What does that mean?

    Larry Arbogast: Nothing. Well, the logic is that when forced into an aversive situation, i.e., being dumped into a pool, the rat will oscillate between attempts to escape and resigning to its fate.

    Brian: Oh, and this guy gave up.

    Larry Arbogast: Today he did.

    Brian: Does he usually?

    Larry Arbogast: Yeah. See, I'm trying to quantify how helpless this one feels, and why more today than yesterday. Though it seems that Mr. Seven is always a little bit of a quitter.

  • Al Lolly: You know I had brain cancer once, Brian?

    Brian: No...

    Al Lolly: Yup. A Huge tumor on the recesses of my temporal lobe.

    Brian: But you're okay now...

    Al Lolly: Yep. 100% holistic. No chemo, no radiation.

    Brian: Whad you do?

    Al Lolly: I mapped the pathology of the cancer with my mind. Very Chinese. Yep. Glad I moved it. I got it with meditation. I pushed it down to the fatty tissue of my temporal lobe, 2 months. Then I moved it down into my nasal cavity, 3 months. Then, then one day I just hocked it up. About the size of a little squash bar, maybe bigger. Do you play squash Brian?

  • Brian: Getting in shape?

    Clem: I don't think there's really anything wrong with my shape, thank you very much.

    Brian: I know.

    Georgina Salt: We're in a park and Clem needed a wee, so...

    Brian: [Ben laughs] The tree gets it.

    [Ben and Georgina both laugh]

    Clem: If you don't mind, I would actually like a bit of privacy, so thank you.

    [Dwight jumps into the sewer, guns blazing]

    Brian: I coulda put a bullet in your ear just now, laddy, if I hadn't gone off and got me revolver all wet and useless. You got the drop on me love. I'm as helpless as a baby.

    [big explosion]

    Brian: Better come clean with ya now, sweetheart. That was an outright lie I was giving ya about me revolver being wet. You see, I'm not too fond of shooting. It's my preference to blow things up. Once you blast the roof off a pub, and see all the parts flying off people, a little bang-bang's never going to match the sight of that. And here I am with all these fine grenades, and such a sweet beauty of a remote. But it's my knife I'll be doin' you with.

    Ruby: Don't you assholes ever grow up! What the f*ck is your problem?

  • Joey T: You know, with that reward money, I'm gonna start a college fund for my daughter.

    Brian: I'd buy a yacht. Like Hugh Hefner, I'd get Playboy bunnies walkin' around.

    Anthony: You can't get a yacht with ten grand. You're gonna wind up with a row boat with two Puerto Rican skanks.

    Brian: What are you talkin' about.

    Anthony: When I get that money, I'm gonna take both my parents home to Sicily for a whole f*ckin' month.

    Joey T: Hey, what'd I tell you about your filthy mouth in front of my daughter. Apologize to the princess.

    Stathis Borans: Look, Brian, please.

    Brian: Is it your child?

    Stathis Borans: No. It's the... child of a man who is deformed.

    Brian: Look, I don't mean to interfere, but I detect a certain uncertainty here. You know, there are tests we can do that can determine whether or not...

    Ronnie: I don't want tests. Tests can't guarantee anything. The baby could start off normal and then become...

    Ronnie: [determinedly] I want an abortion. I'll do it myself if I have to.

    Catherine: I wouldn't like it if either of us jumped to conclusions.
