John Ellis Quotes in Ghost World (2001)

John Ellis: Well, well, well. If it isn't Enid and Rebecca. The little Jewish girl and her Aryan friend.

Enid: You're late, asshole.

John Ellis: Fine, and how are you?

Enid: Did you bring the tape?

[he shows her the videotape but pulls it away when she tries to take it]

John Ellis: You never paid me for that tape with the Indian dance routine.

Enid: Yes, I did.

John Ellis: You Jews are so clever with money.

Enid: [snatching the tape off him] Fuck you, you stupid redneck hick.

John Ellis: [noticing Enid's green hair and leather jacket] Oh my God, didn't they tell you?

Enid: Tell me what?

John Ellis: Punk rock is over.

Enid: I know it's over, asshole, I'm not even...

John Ellis: You really want to fuck up the system? Go to business school. That's what I'm going to do. Get a job in some big corporation and, like, fuck things up from the inside.

Enid: You know, I'm not even trying...

John Ellis: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Hey, do you have my money?

[she pulls a dollar bill out of her pocket, scrunches it up and throws it at him. It bounces off his face]

John Ellis: Oh! Oh, how punk!

Enid: You know, that tape sucked by the way.

John Ellis: Oh, I'm so sorry if it offended Jew.

Enid: Go die, asshole!

John Ellis: Get a job.

Enid: God! Fuck you!

Rebecca: Can we go now?

Enid: You know, it's not like I'm some modern punk, dickhead! It's obviously a 1977 original punk rock look, but I guess Johnny Fuckface over there is too stupid to realize it!

Rebecca: I didn't really get it either.

Enid: Everyone's too stupid!
