Julius Benedict Quotes in Twins (1988)

Julius Benedict: I did nothing. The pavement was his enemy.

Vincent Benedict: Money talks and bullshit walks!

Julius Benedict: How can bullshit walk?

Julius Benedict: My name is Julius and I am your twin brother.

Vincent Benedict: Oh, obviously! The moment I sat down I thought I was looking into a mirror.

Vincent Benedict: [impressed with Julius's fighting abilities] You could be a boxer or something. I could be your manager.

Julius Benedict: No, I could never fight for money.

Vincent Benedict: Well that's fine. You fight, I'll keep the money.

Julius Benedict: Actually, I hate violence.

Vincent Benedict: But you're so good at it!

Julius Benedict: Thank you for the cookies. I look forward to tossing them.

Julius Benedict: If you're lying to me, I'll be back!

Julius Benedict: You have no respect for logic.

Vincent Benedict: But he's got an axe!

Julius Benedict: I don't know what the problem is, but I'm sure it can be solved without resorting to violence.

Julius Benedict: Wait a minute. You forgot the third rule in a crisis situation.

Webster: What third rule?

Vincent Benedict: Third rule?

Julius Benedict: Yeah, third rule.

Vincent Benedict: [notices the crane above Webster] Oooh! The third rule.

Webster: What's the third rule?

Julius Benedict, Vincent Benedict: Duck!

[Vincent hits the crane switch which drops a pile of chains on Webster burying him]

Vincent Benedict: Yo! Holy shmoly! Now there's a man with a lot on his mind.

Julius Benedict: For the first time in my life, I'm... *pissed off*!

Vincent Benedict: [trying to hold Julius back] Julius, don't do this to me! I got a car to deliver! The last thing I need is a detour to the slammer!

Julius Benedict: Why are you being so immature about all this?

Vincent Benedict: Look, Julius. Do you know how many times I've heard stories like this? It's every orphan's fantasy. My real mom and dad were rich, and beautiful. But... there was a mix-up at the hospital. And I got switched with another baby. But one day, there's gonna be a knock at the door. And there they'll be, with open arms, crying, "My darling. My treasure. We didn't know. How can we make it up to you?" Let me tell you something for your own good Julius. It a CROCK!

Vincent Benedict: [points to a device in the lab] This must, uh, be where you made the milkshake.

Mitchell Traven: We weren't making milkshakes. We were making the most fully developed human the world has ever seen.

Vincent Benedict: But instead of just one perfect kid, Mom had the two of us.

[smiling]

Vincent Benedict: Way to go, Mom.

Mitchell Traven: Wrong. The embryo did split in two, but it didn't split equally. All the purity and strength went into Julius. All the crap that was left over went into what you see in the mirror every morning.

Vincent Benedict: Wow, wow, wow, you're telling me that I'm the crap?

Julius Benedict: This is not true, Vincent.

Vincent Benedict: Wait a minute, Julius. I wanna hear this.

[to Traven]

Vincent Benedict: You're telling me that I am the left over crap? That I'm no good?

Julius Benedict: HE'S WRONG.

Mitchell Traven: [points at Vincent] Look at him.

Vincent Benedict: Are you saying that... I'm a side effect.

Vincent Benedict: Women love men who are mysterious and devious. It keeps them on their toes. It excites them. You know what I mean?

Julius Benedict: No.

Vincent Benedict: You do like women?

Julius Benedict: Oh, very much so. They're strange and sensitive. They have compassion. I have the highest respect for women.

Vincent Benedict: [turns around] You're a virgin!

Julius Benedict: That's private.

Vincent Benedict: [to himself] A 230-pound virgin.

Vincent Benedict: Through the lips, over the gums...

Julius Benedict: Look out stomach! Here it comes!

Vincent Benedict: The Klane boys. What an unpleasant surprise.

Burt Klane: Vince, this has gone way beyond a case of simple loan delinquency.

Bob Klane: We don't like bein' shot.

Vincent Benedict: Shot? Who shot ya?

Julius Benedict: What do you want?

Burt Klane: We want to take Vince out to the parking lot and kill him.

Vincent Benedict: Don't you think that's a little drastic?

Julius Benedict: You moved too soon.

Burt Klane: [confused] What?

Julius Benedict: The second rule in the crisis situation.

Morris Klane: Uh oh, he's starting that funny talk again.

Julius Benedict: If you choose to bluff, you must be prepared to have your bluff called.

Burt Klane: This is no bluff.

Julius Benedict: [to Klane] Now the first rule in the crisis situation, you negotiate first and you attack last.

Vincent Benedict: You negotiate *first* and then you attack?

Julius Benedict: You never negotiated.

Vincent Benedict: [to Klane] Ah hah!

Julius Benedict: You don't know what kind of an enemy I am.

Morris Klane: Who are you?

Julius Benedict: Vincent's brother.

Vincent Benedict: [happily] We're twins.

Julius Benedict: That's right.

Morris Klane: [smashes a glass case and grabs a fire axe] You're firewood.

Julius Benedict: I'm really worried about you, Vincent. How much money do you owe? Now don't lie to me. We're twins. I can feel your pain.

Vincent Benedict: Why do you keep saying that? We're not twins, were not brothers, we're nothing.

Julius Benedict: Twenty thousand?

Vincent Benedict: Due this morning.

[gets in the car]

Vincent Benedict: [calling him to get in] Come on!

Julius Benedict: Now don't worry about anything, Vincent. As long as I'm with you, I won't let anyone harm you. Okay?

Julius Benedict: Axe, axe, axe, axe, axe!

Morris Klane: [swings the axe at Julius]

Julius Benedict: You have no respect for logic.

Vincent Benedict: But he's got an axe!

Morris Klane: [Klane charges Julius, who sidesteps his blow. The axe is imbedded in the wall. As Julius grabs him]

Julius Benedict: And I have no respect for those who have no respect for logic.

[picks Klane up with both hands and lifts him a foot up in the air]

Julius Benedict: You're a very stupid person.

[throws him into an open elevator]

Vincent Benedict: [to Klane as the elevator is about to close] You tell your brother, he messes with ME, he messes with my whole family!

[after their visit to Los Alamos]

Vincent Benedict: My life just got flushed down the toilet.

Julius Benedict: No, Vincent.

Vincent Benedict: I'm genetic garbage.

Julius Benedict: We're twins. We're basically the same.

Vincent Benedict: Look, Julius, I don't know if you've noticed yet, but we don't look the same, we don't talk the same, and we don't dress the same!

Julius Benedict: I know.

Vincent Benedict: So if we're so alike, how come we're so goddamn different?

Julius Benedict: We had six fathers. We're many parts of a lot of different people.

Vincent Benedict: Yeah?

Julius Benedict: And don't forget, I was taken to a beautiful island, I was cared for, educated, looked after. You had nobody, Vincent. No one to love you, teach you, or encourage you. You see, Vincent, you're the missing part of my life. And I'm the missing part of your life. And when we find Mama, we can be the missing part of her life. We won't be alone anymore. We can be a family.

Vincent Benedict: A family?

Julius Benedict: Yes.

Vincent Benedict: You mean, like, with a Christmas tree... and Thanksgiving dinner?

Julius Benedict: And a real home, where you'll always be welcome.

Vincent Benedict: Always?

Julius Benedict: [smiles] Even when you've been bad.

[Vincent laughs, and tearfully hugs Julius]

Julius Benedict: [Arriving at Granger's mansion] I'm terribly sorry to disturb your party and I realize this might sound strange, but I'm looking for someone who lived here a long time ago. Mary Anne Benedict. She was my mother.

Granger: [Julius hands him his group photo of his mother, six fathers, Traven, and Werner] You're Mary Anne's son?

Granger Granddaughter: [Looking at the photo] Isn't that you, Grandpa?

Granger: Why don't you go help your grandma with lunch, honey?

Granger: [after his granddaughter goes inside] They told your mother that you died at birth. I guess you could say I'm your father...

Julius Benedict: One of my fathers.

Granger: Mary Anne Benedict. I haven't said her name aloud for over 30 years. She was the love of my life. The times I've wondered what would have happened if I'd married her.

Julius Benedict: Why didn't you?

Granger: She turned me down. Said she was afraid to have children. She took it real hard when they told her you died. She even stopped painting. Did you know she painted?

Julius Benedict: Until yesterday, I didn't even know she might still be alive. Who told her we died?

Granger: We?

Julius Benedict: I have a twin brother, Vincent.

Granger: There's two of you? She never knew that, either.

Granger: [the injustice of it all gets to Granger. He points to Tavern in the photo] Mitchell Traven. He supervised the experiment for the government. He's the one responsible for all of this. He still runs the genetics lab at Los Alamos, New Mexico.

Julius Benedict: I'll go see him.

Granger: Watch out for him. He's kind of a dickhead, if you know what I mean.

Julius Benedict: No, I don't - but I'm learning.
