Felix Farmer Quotes in S.O.B. (1981)

Felix Farmer: Can she work?

Dr. Irving Finegarten: Is Batman a transvestite? Who knows? I was specifically requested to alleviate her anxiety. Work was never mentioned.

Felix Farmer: Irving, she's got a very big scene to do!

Sally Miles: [laughing] I'm going to show my boobies. What do you think, Irving, you've seen my boobies. Hmm, are they worth showing?

Dr. Irving Finegarten: Well, since I can only render an evaluation based on a completely impersonal, purely professional examination of the subject, uh, subjects, I would have to say that in my humble opinion you've got a terrific pair of knockers.

Agnes: I mean, how erotic do you really want to go?

Felix Farmer: Go, go, E-R-O-T-I-C! GO! GO!

Agnes: Sally Miles, America's G-rated darling, in the B-U-F-F?

Felix Farmer: Why not?

Agnes: Ohhhh, Felix darling, some of her fans still don't think she goes to the bathroom!

Tim Culley: Felix, as far as you know, have I ever lied to you?

Felix Farmer: Never.

Tim Culley: Well, I have, once or twice. About nothing that was too important. But now the fact that I have admitted that on occasion I have lied to you should convince you that I'm a fairly honest man. And when it comes to the crunch, I can handle myself with an acceptable degree of integrity. Now, do you agree?

Felix Farmer: Wholeheartedly.

Tim Culley: I'm going to give it to you straight, old friend.

Felix Farmer: You think I'm crazy.

Tim Culley: Well, that's a little straighter than I intended.

Felix Farmer: Maybe, Culley, maybe. Hey, I tried to kill myself four times. Hardly rational. $16 Million-plus for a flop, every cent I have in the world - Not what most people would consider a very sane act. But, insane, Culley? What if I'm right? If my vision is valid, Culley, not so crazy, a more acceptable insanity. Culley, that's all beside the point. Sane and miserable or insane and bursting with greater joy and happiness. THAT'S the point, Culley. And in the final analysis, who says "He's sane therefore he should" or "He's insane, therefore he shouldn't"? Culley, come on, even if I'm wrong, and I'm not, I'm full of fire, Culley! I'm a blazing comet!

Tim Culley: Comets but out, pal.

Felix Farmer: But, Ah, my foes, and Oh, my friends, it gives a lovely light.

Felix Farmer: Sally Miles swears!

Felix Farmer: Sally Miles says "shit"!

Felix Farmer: [pitching to his studio execs the far-out erotic themed movie revision of his flop movie, "Night Wind"] But we blew it, we didn't grab 'em. Why?... Do you know why? I'll tell you why. Because dying fathers and lying mothers are a dime a dozen these days! Home and family have become civilization's antiques - along with the flag, Sunday school, Girl Scout cookies, C.B. De Mille, and virginity.

Felix Farmer: [continues] We gave them virtue, they want VICE! We sold them schmaltz, they prefer sadomasochism! Instead of the American Dream, it should have been the American WET DREAM!

Felix Farmer: [passionately pitching his far-out movie idea to Culley] That's what they want! That's where it's at!

Tim Culley: [calmly] It's been my experience that every time I think I know where it's at, it's usually somewhere else.

Felix Farmer: If you want to dramatize the evils of prostitution, corrupt a virgin, not a whore!

Sally Miles: You thieving, filthy son of a bitch!

Felix Farmer: Sally Miles SWEARS!

Sally Miles: Give me my money or I... WILL... KILL YOU!

Felix Farmer: Sally Miles KILLS!

Sally Miles: [She throws her Oscar at Felix and smashes a window] OHHH SHIT!

Felix Farmer: Sally Miles says SHIT!
