Cecil: Devilish women are a bother, and good ones are a bore.

Cecil: Men don't trust women. Women don't trust women. No one trusts women. It's what binds the Catholic and the Hindu.

The doctors guaranteed the treatment would fry the fairy clean out of him, but all it did was make him bonkers every time he heard electric guitar.

Cecil: Your mama thought you were golden so we named you after yellow flowers and corn. This is you here...

[cuts some purslane from garden]

Cecil: ...pretty, golden purslane.

Pursy Will: Purslane's really a weed, you know. A neighbor told me when I was 9 and I ran over his tomato plants. He said all gardeners hate purslane.

Cecil: Yeah, and dandelions. Doesn't stop kids from making wishes on 'em.

Cecil: [to John] If you're about to be killed at least stay for dinner.

Cecil: It's you! You did this to me!

Jigsaw: No, you did this to yourself.

Cecil: 'the fuck's your problem?

Jigsaw: You're my problem.

Jigsaw: ...and you're becoming everyone else's too.

Jigsaw: It's the tool, thats going to save your soul.

Cecil: I don't have a fucking soul...

Cecil: I'm bleedin' man!

[from trailer]

Cecil: Woah! Wh-what the fuck is that?

Jigsaw: It's the tool that's going to save your life. I want to play a game. You just lean foward into the knives with your face. Press hard enough and you'll release the arm and the leg restraints that bind you. Press hard though. Live or die, Cecil. Make your choice.

Jigsaw: I forgive you Cecil. I do, but addiction has ruined your life.

Cecil: I'm bleeding man. Please just let me go.

Jigsaw: I could let you go, but that wouldn't serve you. I'll tell you what I will do though. I will give you a tool to reclaim your life, and to discard the vices that have corrupted your soul.

Cecil: I don't have a fucking soul.

Jigsaw: Maybe you will in the next life. You see things aren't sequential. Good doesn't lead to good nor bad to bad. People steal, don't get caught. Live the good life. Others lie, cheat and get elected. Some people stop to help a stranded motorist and get taken out by a speeding semi. There's no accounting for it. How you play the cards you're dealt, that's all that matters.

Amanda: [Pressuring Cecil to break into the clinic] Go, go!

Cecil: I don't know about this.

Amanda: [Leans seductively toward Cecil and starts crying] I've been good to you.

Cecil: I know, I know.

Amanda: Please go!

Cecil: [Pulls Amanda close to him] You drive me crazy!

Amanda: Go, you fucking pussy. Go, go go!

Cecil: She must have violated the program.
