Johnny Utah Quotes in Point Break (1991)

Ben Harp: You're a real blue flame special, aren't you, son? Young, dumb and full of come, I know. What I don't know is how you got assigned here. Guess we must just have ourselves an asshole shortage, huh?

Johnny Utah: [quietly] Not so far.

Johnny Utah: Vaya con Dios.

Ben Harp: Do you think that taxpayers would like it Utah, if they knew that they were paying a federal agent to surf and pick up girls?

Johnny Utah: Babes.

Ben Harp: I beg your pardon?

Johnny Utah: The correct term is Babes, sir.

Johnny Utah: I'm not armed.

[lifts up his shirt to Bodhi]

Bodhi: But, you're not alone.

Johnny Utah: Good guess. There is a guy on you now.

[pause]

Johnny Utah: Where is Roach?

Bodhi: He's around somewhere. Listen Johnny, we're in a kind of a hurry; is there anything you need?

Johnny Utah: You gotta tell me where she is.

Bodhi: Oh yeah, and let my policy expire. Good idea.

Johnny Utah: Look Bodhi, people are dead, the ride is over.

Bodhi: Oh, no no no. I say when it's over.

Johnny Utah: They will nail you wherever you land. They'll use something new called radar, maybe you've heard of it.

Bodhi: What is your...

Johnny Utah: Bodhi, I know you man. When they fall on you, you won't back down and they'll have to burn your ass to the ground.

Bodhi: Shit happens.

Johnny Utah: You got a death wish. You want to ride to glory, fine. But, don't take Tyler with you. I'm begging you. Tell me where she is, and I walk away.

Bodhi: You walk away?

Johnny Utah: I walk away.

Bodhi: That's beautiful Johnny.

Johnny Utah: [to Bodhi] You crossed the line. People trusted you and they died. You gotta' go down.

Johnny Utah: I've been to every city in Mexico. Came across an unclaimed piece of meat in Baja, turned out to be Rosie. Guess he picked a knife fight with somebody better. Found a passport of yours in Sumatra. Missed you by about a week in Fiji. But I knew you wouldn't miss the 50-Year Storm, Bodhi.

Australian cop at the end of the movie: We'll get him when he comes back in!

Johnny Utah: He's not coming back.

Johnny Utah: [shouts from the shore] The name's Johnny Utah!

Tyler Ann Endicott: [paddling away] Who cares!

Johnny Utah: [Drops an ex president mask at Bodhis feet] Lose something, brah?

Johnny Utah: [analyzing a hair sample] The beaches are always being closed because of waste spills, right? And surfers are territorial, they stick to certain breaks. If we can get some hair samples, and get a match to a certain beach, we'd know which break the Ex-Presidents surf. You buyin' this?

Pappas: No. But let's do it anyway; it'll drive Harp crazy.

Johnny Utah: [while night surfing] I gotta be fucking crazy!

Bodhi: But are you crazy enough?

Diving Instructor: Heads up, Pappas. I want to see you retrieve at least two bricks.

Pappas: [puts on blindfold] I've been on the job for over 20 years, and I fail to see what fishing bricks from the bottom of a pool has got to do with bank robbery. And on top of that, they got me babysitting some quarterback punk, named Johnny Unitas or something.

Johnny Utah: The shit they pull, huh?

Pappas: Yeah!

Diving Instructor: Pappas... meet your new partner.

Pappas: What?

[removes blindfold]

Johnny Utah: [waves]

Pappas: Pappas. Angelo Pappas.

Johnny Utah: Punk. Quarterback Punk.

Roach: Hey man, I'm cold. Really cold.

Bodhi: Here's your jacket.

[helps Roach put his jacket on]

Bodhi: Johnny, hand me that bag of money.

Johnny Utah: [getting the bag] You're cold because all of the blood is running out of your body, Roach. You're gonna be dead soon. I hope it was worth it.

Bodhi: Don't listen to him, he's just scared.

[helps Roach put his parachute pack on]

Roach: What the fuck are you looking at?

Johnny Utah: Bohdi! This is your wakeup call I AM AN F... B... I AGENT!

Bodhi: I know, isn't it wild!

Bodhi: [getting ready for their next robbery] 90 seconds Johnny. That's all I ask for, just 90 seconds of your life Johnny, that's it. This is our tactic, is we strike fear. Once you get them peeing down their leg, they submit. Also about fear, fear causes hesitation, and hesitation, causes your worst fears to come true.

[hands Johnny a shot gun]

Johnny Utah: I can't do this.

Bodhi: Yes you can, who knows, you might like it.

Johnny Utah: Bodhi, this is your fucking wake-up call man. I am an F, B, I, Agent!

Bodhi: Yeah, I know man. Ain't it wild? That's what makes it so interesting. You can do what you want, and make up your own rules. Why be a servant to the law, when you can be its master?

Grommet: Fuckin' a!

Nathanial: I love this job.

Ben Harp: Special agent Utah! This is not some job, flipping burgers at the local drive-in! Yes! - your surf board bothers me! Yes! - your approach to this whole damn case bothers me! And yes! - YOU BOTHER ME! And Pappas! Oh, for the love of Christ. How the hell did I even let you talk me into this whole bone-headed idea to begin with.

Pappas: Harp! We are working under-cover. It takes time. We've produced a few...

Ben Harp: NO! No no no no no no NO! Let me tell you what you've produced... Over the last two weeks, you two have produced exactly squat! SQUAT! During which time the ex-presidents have robbed two more banks. Now for Christ's sake, does either one of you have anything even remotely interesting to tell me?

[brief pause]

Johnny Utah: I caught my first tube today... Sir.

Johnny Utah: Okay. I get it. This is where you tell me that "locals rule", and that Yuppie insects like me shouldn't be surfing the break, right?

Bunker Weiss: [smiling] Nope.

Surf gang: That would be a waste of time...

Lupton "Warchild" Pittman: We're just gonna fuck you up!

Johnny Utah: You're sayin' the FBI's gonna pay me to learn to surf?

[after a long discussion about which parachute Johnny Utah should use]

Johnny Utah: You gonna jump or jerk off?

Johnny Utah: I went to law school - I got a football scholarship!

Johnny Utah: Bohdi this is your FUCKING wake up call man. I AM AN F... B... I AGENT!

Bohdi: I know, isn't it wild!

Johnny Utah: [from trailer] Bodhi, do you have any idea how many people you've killed? How many laws you've broken?

Bodhi: [scoffs] The only law that matters is gravity.

Johnny Utah: [Bodhi falls off the cliff] STOP!

[Utah tries to grab Bodhi but falls after him]

Johnny Utah: I believe that like me, the people behind these robberies are extreme athletes, using their skills to disrupt the international financial market. And they don't care who gets killed in the process.

Johnny Utah: They believe their moral crusaders working for a greater cause

Pappas: [dismissive] Every criminal believes what he or she is doing is for a higher purpose

Johnny Utah: Your going to steal it

Bodhi: No were going to give it back

Bodhi: We must give back more than we take

Pappas: Have you ever surfed

Johnny Utah: Yeah

Pappas: [points to the squall] But have you ever surfed anything like 'that'
