McGruder Quotes in On Deadly Ground (1994)

McGruder: Who the fuck is he?

Michael Jennings: You wanna know who he is? Try this: delve down into the deepest bowels of your soul. Try to imagine the ultimate fucking nightmare. And that won't come close to this son of a bitch when he gets pissed.

McGruder: [McGruder is protesting the presence of the FBI] I thought you wanted us to KILL this motherfucker, Mr. Jennings? How are we supposed to shoot him with all these cops standing around, huh? I don't think so.

Liles: McGruder! It is essential that we have the FBI here to cover ourselves legally! And it sure as hell will help with the press. They'll take the fall for anything that happens.

Michael Jennings: Look, don't worry about the FBI. We all know they couldn't find a hooker in a whorehouse anyway.

McGruder: But seriously. He'd have to be out of his fucking mind to try to get into this place now.

Michael Jennings: Then we should COUNT on that, Mr. McGruder! Forrest Taft is the patron saint of the impossible. And if you had only done your job like you're supposed to, it wouldn't have COME TO THIS!

McGruder: At present count, you only have ten fingers. I honestly don't want to have to ask you ten times. Where are your books? I want the DISKS, and I WANT THOSE BOOKS!

Hugh Palmer: I'm tellin' you I don't HAVE THEM!

McGruder: Have you LISTENED to yourself lately! HAVE YOU! Everything with you is I-I-I! There is no I in team! It is T-E-A-M. TEAM! Otto.

[Otto breaks Hugh's right forefinger]

[after Otto breaks Hugh's first finger]

McGruder: You'd better quit while you're ahead, Hugh! Know what I'm saying? While you can still play marbles. Where are the disks? Where are the books?

Hugh Palmer: Fuck you!

McGruder: Fuck me? No, FUCK YOU!

[Otto breaks Hugh's second finger]

McGruder: Hugh.

Hugh Palmer: Go to hell!

McGruder: OK. OK. I'll go to hell.
