J. Paul Getty Quotes in Life Stinks (1991)

J. Paul Getty: Shut up!

Goddard Bolt: Who are you?

J. Paul Getty: I'm J. Paul Getty. I was the richest man in the world. You don't see me ranting and raving about it, do you? No! I took my losses!

Goddard Bolt: What losses?

J. Paul Getty: During the crash, the clash, the smash!

Goddard Bolt: Listen to me. You are not J. Paul Getty. You are a pathetic, broken-minded, little bum. In your mind you think you're J. Paul Getty but you're not. Whilst I on the other hand, am Goddard Bolt, a genuine financial giant.

J. Paul Getty: So am I!

Goddard Bolt: [slaps Getty] You're not!

J. Paul Getty: [slaps Bolt] I am!

Goddard Bolt: [slaps Getty] You're not!

J. Paul Getty: [slaps Bolt] I am!

Goddard Bolt: [slaps Getty] You're not!

J. Paul Getty: [slaps Bolt] I am!

Goddard Bolt: Wait. Come with me.

J. Paul Getty: Where we going?

Goddard Bolt: Over here, let's talk.

[they move a little down the sidewalk]

Goddard Bolt: Now look, let's be reasonable.

J. Paul Getty: O.k.

Goddard Bolt: There's an enormous difference between us. Even though in your twisted mind, you think you're rich, you're really not. On the other hand, because of my serious understanding of the world of finance, I have amassed six point four billion dollars.

J. Paul Getty: And I've amassed six point five

[slaps are exchanged between them with "you didn't, I did" and a small fight happens]

Goddard Bolt: Look I don't want to hurt you.

J. Paul Getty: You don't?

Goddard Bolt: No. It's just that it's important to me that you understand. I guess it doesn't make any difference who's richer. Does it?

[Bolt starts to leave]

Goddard Bolt: Well forget about it.

J. Paul Getty: No. Oh, God thank you. Cause I'm really richer.

[Bolt then charges at Getty and the police break up the fight]
