Davis Quotes:

  • Davis: [while urinating, laughs] Maybe I should save this.

  • Davis: There's only one rule: Only I can kiss Kari.

  • Davis: Hey, I said only I can kiss Kari, she my girl!

    Kari: What do you mean, your girl?

  • [Chocomon is juggling the other Digimon]

    Willis: This is my fault.

    Davis: Why? Are you the one who taught him how to juggle?

  • Willis: Davis, you're a baby!

    Davis: Who're you calling a baby, you baby?

    [he looks down at himself]

    Davis: Ah! I'm a baby! Look!

  • Davis: NO! No more uncles, no more horses, no more trains, no more planes! It's gotta STOP!

  • Davis: [Davis is annoyed that Kari hasn't turned up]

    Davis: WHAAAATTTT? What do you mean Kari's not here yet?

  • Davis: [after hearing Willis' emotional story, he breaks down in tears] That's the saddest story I ever heard!

    Willis: I'm the one with the problem, not you. Get over it.

    Davis: [suddenly smiles] Okay!

  • Davis: You must be Chris.

    Chris: You fucking my mom?

    Davis: No, I'm not. We were just sleeping...

    Chris: [interrupts] She's fucking crazy. If you haven't noticed, she's a fucking pothead. She calls it cannabis 'cause it makes her feel like less of a fucking pothead.

    Davis: You say fuck a lot.

    Chris: So?

    Davis: So you're just not using it properly.

    Chris: The fuck does that mean?

    Davis: That's what I mean. Fuck is a great word, but if you use it too much then it just loses its value and you sound stupid.

    Chris: Fuck you.

    Davis: Exactly. I feel nothing and you sound like an idiot. Have a good one.

    [Davis leaves]

    Chris: Who the f...

    [thinks about it]

  • Davis: Dear Champion Vending Company: I put five quarters in your machine and proceeded to push B2, which should have given me peanut M&M's. Regrettably, it did not. I found this upsetting, as I was very hungry, and also my wife had died ten minutes earlier.

  • Davis: What about the boys at school? Is there anybody that you like, that you find attractive?

    Chris: Maybe Andrew White. He's a junior, and we have the same gym class too. We have to get changed together.

    Davis: Do you watch him when you get changed?

    Chris: No.

    Davis: Well then I don't think you're gay, Chris.

    Chris: I have to try not to look. I have to tell myself not to.

    Davis: Yeah, no, that's normal, you know. I mean, you're young and curious, it's...

    Chris: Sometimes I imagine his dick in my mouth.

    Davis: Oh. That's different.

  • Davis: Who the fuck drives a station wagon?

  • Davis: [to Phil] There was love between us your daughter and I, it's just that I didn't hold onto it well enough

  • Karen: I can't have sex with you. It'd be dangerous.

    Davis: There's that word again. Is Carl really out of town, or did you just chop him up into little pieces and stuff him in your sock drawer?

    Karen: That's ridiculous. I don't have a sock drawer.

    Davis: Well... where do you keep all your socks?

    Karen: In the same drawer as my underwear.

    Davis: What? I just... You know, I just think a woman's underwear is deserving of its own space.

  • Davis: You are one fucked-up kid.

    Chris: You're one fucked-up adult.

  • [last lines]

    Chris: [in his letter] Dear Davis, thanks for your letter. I'm recovering slowly but surely. Despite the ass-kicking, I must say, being myself feels good. By the way, mom left Carl, FYI. I have a little gift for you. Be at pier 64 this Saturday at 11:00 A.M. sharp. Trust me.

    Davis: [arrives at the location just in time to see a building demolitioned]

    Chris: P.S. Go fuck yourself. Warmest regards, Davis c. Mitchell.

  • Chris: [shopping at the hardware store] Why you buying all this shit?

    Davis: Uh, the tools of the trade, my young friend.

    Chris: What trade would that be?

    Davis: Destruction, devastation. I mean, haven't you ever wanted to just smash the shit out of something?

  • Karen: [on the phone] I'm sorry again, mister Mitchell. This is so unprofessional.

    Davis: Customer service is a profession?

  • Dr. Brodkey: [after running some tests] Davis... not sure how to tell you this. Come on. See for yourself...

    [now pointing at screen with other doctor's watching]

    Dr. Brodkey: Part of your heart is missing.

    Davis: What? How did that happen?

    Dr. Brodkey: Judging by the bite pattern, I'd say gypsy moths.

    Davis: [suddenly jolts back to reality in the doctor's office]

  • Davis: [his first words on the telephone] I just dismantled a $2,000 cappuccino machine.

    Karen: Why did you call me, mister Mitchell?

    Davis: Why'd you answer?

    Karen: There's something about your letters. I'm re-reading one right now in my tub. I'm not bathing or anything. I just sit here.

  • Todd: [Davis has interrupted his scholarship interview] Um... lost my train of thought. We won.

    Davis: Oh. What'd you win?

    Todd: Swimming. I'm a swimmer.

    Davis: Ah. Do you swim? You know, I used to do laps at the Y, and then I realized how many people must urinate in that pool on a daily basis, and that kinda ruined it for me. Yeah.

  • Davis: [thinking] My parents left for Tampa this afternoon, and I stayed at the airport an extra two hours watching people walk back and forth with their luggage in tow. I find I'm suddenly filled with... wait... Overwhelmed by... a growing sense of curiosity. What are in these bags? I wanna know what these people can't do without for four days in buffalo. I wanna go through every one of them and dump their shit in a huge pile.

    Davis: And the national guard guy? I wanna hold his gun. I wanna protect my country.

    [imagines aiming at bad guys]

  • Chris: [in his kitchen with sledgehammers] What are you exactly doing?

    Davis: I'm taking apart my marriage.

    [starts swinging]

  • Davis: Excuse me, is Karen Moreno here?

    Bucaneer Diner Waitress: Who?

    Davis: Blonde hair, hazel eyes, but not hispanic like her name suggests.

  • Davis: Fuck Phil!

  • Jules: Here's my theory about this. We all grew up during the "take your daughter to work day" thing, right?

    Ben: Mm-Hmm.

    Jules: So we were always told we could be anything, do anything. And I think guys got, maybe not left behind, but not quite as nurtured, you know? I mean, like, we were the generation of "you go, girl."We had Oprah. And I wonder sometimes how guys fit in, you know? They still seem to be trying to figure it out. They're still dressing like little boys. They're still playing video games. Well, they've gotten great. So...

    Davis: I love video games!

    Lewis: Oh, boy.

    Jules: How, in one generation, have men gone from guys like jack Nicholson and Harrison Ford to... take Ben, here. A dying breed. You know? Look and learn, boys. Because if you ask me, this is what cool is.

    [leaning on Ben]

  • Fiona: [Fiona is giving him a massage at his desk and is getting rather intimate] I'm Fiona, the house masseuse. Love that there's another oldie but goodie here... How's that, Ben?

    Ben: Oh, hmm, oh boy

    Davis: [Hands him a newspaper to cover his lap] Here you go... You're not as old as I thought you were.

  • Kingman: I spent eighty-six million dollars of the studio's money on twenty seconds of titles. That's all he sent me, the *titles*! And a note: "Dave, we could also do these in blue."

    [angrily crumples the note and hurls it to the floor]

    Kingman: We *had* to make a Hal Weidmann picture!

    Davis: The man's won three Oscars. He's a genius.

    Kingman: No! There's only been one genius in this business, and that was Señor Wences! A little lipstick, some hair, and his hand, and the guy had a career for eighty-five years!

  • Dave: Remember the crazy guy in the woods?

    Davis: Ted Kaczynski.

    Dave: Who, the guy at Fox?

    Lee: The Unabomber.

    Dave: Yeah, the Unabomber. Okay? Remember how he lived in that little cabin?

    Lee: So?

    Dave: Hal Weidmann bought that cabin from the government and had it moved onto his property. That is where he edits his movies. That is his little, twisted, sicko office.

  • Davis: I need to talk to you.

    Jessy: Make it quick.

    Davis: I need to know what the meaning of life is.

    Jessy: You're kidding.

    Davis: I know we're Christians, and what you're doing is a sin, but the intent is, well, Christ-like with you sacrificing yourself and all. So what are morals? Do the ends justify the means? But then again the road to hell is paved with good intentions, so... darn, I'm out of clichés.

  • Jessy: You want to get laid before you die.

    Davis: Is that such a crime?

  • Sarge: Taylor, why didn't you shoot that son of a bitch? You had him dead to rights.

    Brian Taylor: I just didn't feel like killing anyone tonight, Sarge.

    Sarge: You feel like writing this up? Brass is gonna want clean paper, make sure all the logs match.

    Mike Zavala: Sarge, did you see that? Van H has a fucking Ginsu sticking out of his eye.

    Sarge: His eye was cut in half. The lens was hanging out. He's not coming back. Rookie, too. She ain't coming back. She gave me this to give to the watch commander.

    [holds up Sook's badge]

    Mike Zavala: On the spot?

    Sarge: Yeah.

    Davis: Oh well. She wouldn't have made probation anyway.

    Orozco: Hell no.

    Sarge: What, because her daddy's not a captain?

    Davis: You know she wasn't cut out for this shit.

    Sarge: Why is that?

    Davis: The evidence.

    Orozco: She almost got Van Houser killed.

    Sarge: You guys are cold, man. You got cold, dead eyes. You know that? Yeah both of you. You have a soul?

    Davis: Yes, we just leave it at home.

    Brian Taylor: Yo, we gonna sit around yapping or we gonna get this done?

    Orozco: Dude, you guys saved that rookie's life. That was one big fucking fat ese.

  • Davis: Saddle up, ladies. We're sick of holding up your end.

  • Davis: X 25 shows Code 6 with X 13.

    Orozco: You okay?

    Brian Taylor: [on radio] 13 X-ray 13 show.

    Mike Zavala: Transport this son of a bitch.

    Davis: Yeah, no problem.

    Mike Zavala: Check out this motherfucker's burner, bro. Dude he's got more bling than the old lady's wedding ring.

    Brian Taylor: You don't have any holes in you?

    Mike Zavala: I'm good, bro. Let's toss the truck.

    Orozco: Hey, who was he shooting at?

    Brian Taylor: What?

    Orozco: Who was he shooting at?

    Mike Zavala: Me.

    Orozco: That's fucked up, man.

  • Davis: I feel lonely, sir... I feel depressed, even.

  • [Eckersley, Richards and Banks approach Davis]

    Banks: Davis, up!

    [Davis stands up but Banks kicks him. Eckersley laughs]

    Banks: Davis, yer nothing. I'm the Daddy 'ere, I run this wing. You pay yer dues like the rest. Payday, you deliver a quarter of your snout to Stripey 'ere, every week on the dot.

    Davis: I don't smoke...

    Banks: [slaps Davis] You fuckin' well do now, slag! There's no dolly mixtures here, poofter! I'm the Daddy and don't you ever forget it, right?

    [slaps Davis]

    Banks: I said right?

    [shoves Davis and leaves]

  • Davis: That's part of your problem: you haven't seen enough movies. All of life's riddles are answered in the movies.

  • Davis: The point is there's a gulf in this country; an ever-widening abyss between the people who have stuff, and the people who don't have shit. It's like this big hole in the ground, as big as the fucking Grand Canyon, and what's come pouring out is an eruption of rage, and the rage creates violence, and the violence is real, Mack. Nothing's gonna make it go away, until someone changes something, which is not going to happen. And you may not like it, even I may not like it, but I can't pretend it isn't there because that it is a lie, and when art lies, it becomes worthless. So I gotta keep telling the truth, even if it scares the shit out of me, like it scares the shit out of you. Even if it means some motherfucker can blow a big hole in my leg for a watch, and I'm gonna walk with a fucking limp for the rest of my life and call myself lucky.

  • Davis: While we got a moment here, maybe you can explain something to me I never understood. What is the theory on this handkerchief thing? I mean, after you blow your nose in it, you put it back in your pocket and then you see someone in distress and you like give them this gift from your pocket and they are suppose to be grateful as they wipe it all over their face.

  • [first lines]

    Davis: You know what your problem is? You're always talking about X. But you're thinking about Y. You gotta learn to talk about Y. Forget about X. X is gonna take care of itself.

    Mack: What are you talking about?

    Davis: I'm just asking you to hear yourself. Listen to what you're really saying and under what you really saying: control, control, control. When are you gonna realise nothing can be controlled? We live in chaos. It's the central issue in everyone's life. Mack, look around you. Everyone in this parking lot is struggling for control. And you know what it is they're trying to control, each and every one of 'em? Fear. They're trying to control their fear.

  • [Davis describing the plot of "Sullivan's Travels"]

    Davis: It's a story about a guy, he's a filmmaker like me, who loses his way, and forgets what it was he set on earth to do. Fortunately, he finds his way back. It can happen, Mack. Check it out.

  • Davis: You think anyone can do what I do? You think anyone can make the crap I make?

  • Davis: There's so much rage going around we're damn lucky we have the movies to help us vent it.

  • Davis: We're talking about a religious experience here. I might say "doth" or "thou" or a lot of things.

  • Davis: At the end of this long, torturous night, my head pounding in syncopation to my throbbing wound, there came a glorious, delicate dawn. And I knew... I knew I can't make those movies any more. I can't make another piece of art that glorifies violence and bloodshed and brutality. I can't contribute another stone to this landslide of dehumanising rage that has swept across this country like a pestilence.

  • Davis: MY GOD, am I the only one around here who cares about the "writing"?

  • Davis: Where's the "money shot"?

  • [first lines]

    Davis' Girl: Ah! Not some of that shit.

    Davis: Shut the fuck up, bitch!

    Davis' Girl: Don't call me a bitch.

  • Davis: Have you had a bang on the head or something? There is no way I am stopping here and eating Coq au Vin with Gloria Swanson and the Brady Bunch.

  • Bennett: You heard what William said, he ended up going Bulgarian.

    Davis: I ain't gonna go Bulgarian

  • [from Trailer]

    Davis: I want you to find him, I want you to KILL him, and I want you to put him in the ground so he can never come back again.
