Max Rockatansky Quotes in Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Max Rockatansky: You know, hope is a mistake. If you can't fix what's broken, you'll, uh... you'll go insane.

[first lines]

Max Rockatansky: [Narrating] My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. Once, I was a cop. A road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy... me... or everyone else.

[from trailer]

Max Rockatansky: My name is Max. My world is fire. And blood.

Max Rockatansky: I am the one that runs from both the living and the dead. Hunted by scavengers, haunted by those I could not protect. So I exist in this wasteland, reduced to one instinct: survive.

Max Rockatansky: Here they come again... worming their way into the black matter of my brain. I tell myself, they cannot touch me. They are long dead.

Imperator Furiosa: You never gonna have a better chance.

Max Rockatansky: At what?

Imperator Furiosa: Redemption.

[Max proposes turning back and claiming the Citadel]

Keeper of the Seeds: I like this plan... we could start again, just like the old days!

Max Rockatansky: Look, it'll be a hard day.

[points to the horizon]

Max Rockatansky: But I guarantee you that a hundred and sixty days ride that way... there's nothing but salt.

[points back]

Max Rockatansky: At least that way we might be able to... together... come across some kind of redemption.

[He holds out his hand. After a pause, Furiosa takes it and clasps tight]

Max Rockatansky: Max. My name is Max. That's my name.

Max Rockatansky: How much more can they take from me? They got my blood, now it's my car!

Max Rockatansky: [pointing at his Interceptor car being driven by a War Boy] That's mine!

[Max appears and heads off Furiosa, the Wives, and the Vuvalini. They brake to a stop, and Max shows Furiosa a map]

Max Rockatansky: [points to the Citadel] All right. This is your way home.

Imperator Furiosa: [incredulous] We go back?

Max Rockatansky: Mmm.

Toast: [incredulous] Back?

Max Rockatansky: Yeah.

The Dag: I thought you weren't insane anymore.

Max Rockatansky: [to Nux] That's *my jacket...!*

Toast: [Max returns after killing the Bullet Farmer] Are you hurt?

Max Rockatansky: Huh?

Toast: You're bleeding.

Imperator Furiosa: That's not his blood.

Max Rockatansky: That's my head!

Max Rockatansky: Have you done this before?

Imperator Furiosa: Many times.

Imperator Furiosa: Hey. What's your name? What do I call you?

Max Rockatansky: Does it matter?

Imperator Furiosa: Fine. When I yell "fool," you drive out of here as fast as you can.

The Valkyrie: It'll take two weeks to skirt the wall of mountains.

Max Rockatansky: No. I suggest we go back the same way we came. Through the canyon.

Toast: [after a pause] It's open - we know that, right? He brought all his war parties through.

Max Rockatansky: So we take the War Rig and charge it right through the middle of them. We can decouple the tanker at the pass, shut it off behind us.

Keeper of the Seeds: [she and the Dag make the same gesture] Kaboom!

[laughter]

Max Rockatansky: CONFUCAMUS!

The Vuvalini: What's there to find at the Citadel?

Max Rockatansky: Green.

Toast: And water. There's a ridiculous amount of clear water. And a lot of crops.

The Dag: It's got everything you need, as long as you're not afraid of heights.

Keeper of the Seeds: Where does the water come from?

Toast: [re: Immortan Joe] He pumps it up from deep within the earth. He calls it "Aqua Cola" and claims it all for himself.

The Dag: And because he owns it, he owns all of us.

Keeper of the Seeds: I don't like him already.

Max Rockatansky: Hey - you need to take the War Rig half a klick down the track.

Imperator Furiosa: What if you're not back by the time the engines are cooled?

Max Rockatansky: [looks back, then shrugs] Well, you keep movin'.

[heads off towards the Bullet Farmer's gunfire]

Toast: What do you suppose he's gonna do?

Imperator Furiosa: Retaliate first.

[Max and Furiosa come across a naked woman screaming and crying in a cage]

Max Rockatansky: Uh-uh. That's bait.

Imperator Furiosa: Stay in the rig.

Max Rockatansky: [to Furiosa] I am so sorry...

[stabs her]

Capable: [after Angharad's death, to Max] Stop! Turn the rig around! Go back for her!

Max Rockatansky: No.

Capable: [to Furiosa] Tell him to turn the rig around!

Imperator Furiosa: [to Max] Did you see it?

Max Rockatansky: She went under the wheels.

Imperator Furiosa: Did you see it?

Max Rockatansky: [looks at Furiosa] She went under the wheels.

Imperator Furiosa: We keep moving...

Capable: NO!

Imperator Furiosa: We keep moving!

Capable: [crying] He doesn't know what he's talking about!

Toast: Whatever happens, we're going to the Green Place...

Cheedo the Fragile: The stupid "Green Place!" We don't even know where to find it!

Nux: [sneaks up from behind Furiosa and strangles her with his chains] Filth! You traitored him!

The Splendid Angharad: [Furiosa holds up a knife to Nux's neck] No unnecessary killing!

Imperator Furiosa: This War Boy wants me dead!

The Splendid Angharad: We agreed! He's kamakrazee! He's just a kid at the end of his half-life!

Nux: No! I live, I die, I live again!

[Furiosa spits at Nux, who spits back at Furiosa]

The Splendid Angharad: Hold him!

Capable: Tie him up!

Imperator Furiosa: Throw him out!

The Dag: Chuck him out!

Max Rockatansky: [to Furiosa] You got more friends.

Imperator Furiosa: Bullet Farmer. They're coming from the Bullet Farm.

Nux: It's over. You can't defy him!

The Dag: Just watch us, mate!

Nux: He is the one who grabs the sun!

Toast: Look how slick he's fooled you, War Boy.

Capable: He's a lying old man.

Nux: By his hand, we'll be lifted up!

The Splendid Angharad: That's why we have his logo seared on our back! "Breeding stock"! "Battle fodder"!

Nux: No, I am awaited!

Capable: You're an old man's battle fodder, killing everyone and everything!

Nux: We're not to blame!

The Splendid Angharad: Then who killed the world?

[throws Nux off the War Rig]
