Minnie Quotes in The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000)

Minnie Mogul: I can't sign a contract that will help three ruthless villains take over the world. I just can't.

Fearless Leader, Boris, and Natasha: Why not?

Minnie: My pen's out of ink.

Alan Dershowitz: We've got two big problems here. The case against him is very strong but more importantly is the absolute certainty that Claus is guilty, finding grounds for reversal won't be enough here. Judges on the Rhode Island Supreme Court will have to go home to their wives and explain to them why they reversed. To do that we have to totally obliterate the States case so that they have no other reason to affirm. Total victory or we are dead in the water. Now, I assumed you've all had a chance to go over the transcripts and materials, first impressions?

[Minnie raises her hand]

Alan Dershowitz: Yeah, Minnie.

Minnie: I think this whole case stinks! I think Von Bulow stinks! He's obviously guilty of something pretty despicable and if we free him we become his accessories, accomplices after the fact. I'm really shocked with your reputation for defending the poor and oppressed that you've taken this case.

[Stands up]

Minnie: I won't have anything to do with it, and I hope my fellow students won't either.

Alan Dershowitz: Can I exercise my first ammendment right to free speech? If lawyers only defended innocent clients there would only be 12 defense attorneys and none of you would be able to find a job.

Minnie: Why help guilty people get off?

Alan Dershowitz: Oh you're sure he's guilty, 100% sure?

Minnie: He had a lawyer. He had a trial. He was convicted.

Alan Dershowitz: Are you sure he had a fair trial?

Minnie: Come on!

Alan Dershowitz: It's the basis of the whole legal system! Everyone gets a defense. So the system is there for the innocent person falsely accused. Ok, say it's you Ok?

[referring to Minnie]

Alan Dershowitz: You decide you're gonna get a divorce, you're gonna divorce your husband. A week later you're accused of child abuse.

[Minnie smiles in disbelief]

Alan Dershowitz: Oh, no don't give me that people do it all the time. Suddenly you're alone it's a disaster. Everyone thinks that you are guilty. Even the mailman is looking at you a little funny. There's only one person who can help you. There's only one person who you can trust, your lawyer.

Minnie: Yeah, ok, so someone has to defend Claus. But why you, why us?

Alan Dershowitz: Look, you're my student, you, you have a choice. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do; that is your choice. The reason I take cases and here unlike most other lawyers, who are not professors and therefore have to make a living: I take cases because I get pissed off, and I am pissed off here. The family hired a private prosecutor: unacceptable! They conducted a private search! Now if we let them get away with that, rich people won't go to the cops any more. You know what they're going to do? They're going to get their own lawyers to collect evidence, and then they are going to choose which evidence they feel like passing on to the DA. And the next victim isn't going to be rich, like Von Bülow but it's going to be some poor schnook in Detroit who can't afford, or who can't find, a decent lawyer. I think it's a little more complicated than your simple moral superiority, hmm?

Minnie: He says he doesn't have anything that'd help us.

Alan Dershowitz: You with me?

Sarah: Paydirt.

Raj: What's paydirt?

Alan Dershowitz: He's a lawyer. If he really didn't have anything, he'd give it to us. But there's something there, and he's going to fight like hell to hold onto it.

Minnie: Yeah, okay, so, someone's got to defend Claus. But why you, why us?

Alan Dershowitz: Look, you're my student, you, you have a choice. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do; that is your choice. The reason *I* take cases - and here I'm unlike most other lawyers, who are not professors and therefore have to make a living - I take cases because I get pissed off. And I am pissed off here. The family hired a private prosecutor: unacceptable! They conducted a private search! Now if we let them get away with that, rich people won't go to the cops any more. You know what they're going to do? They're going to get their own lawyers to collect evidence - and then they are going to choose which evidence they feel like passing on to the DA. And the next victim isn't going to be rich, like von Bülow - but it's going to be some poor schnook in Detroit who can't afford, or who can't find, a decent lawyer.

Minnie: Nobody'd believe me! All right. I wash me hands of it. They can all be murdered in their beds.

Minnie: It's alive. The Monster. It's alive! Ohhh-ohhh!

Elizabeth: Speak to me, Henry.

Minnie: Oh, my lady, he'll never speak again.

Elizabeth: I was foretold of this. I was told beware of my wedding night.

Minnie: Awwwww! Oh, look! My lady, he's alive! Awwww!

Elizabeth: Henry, darling!

Henry Frankenstein: Elizabeth.

Minnie: Oh, what a terrible wedding night.

Minnie: Doctor Pretorius? Pretorius? - - Wha-wha-what, what was the name?

Doctor Pretorius: Doctor Pretorius.

Minnie: It's Doctor Pretorius. He says he wants to see the Master. Most insistent!

Henry Frankenstein: Pretorius?

Minnie: He's a very queer looking old gentleman, sir. I must see you on a secret, grave matter, he said. Tonight. Alone.

Henry Frankenstein: Bring him in.

Elizabeth: Henry, who is this man?

Minnie: Doctor Pretorius.

Minnie: I'd hate to find him under my bed at night. He's a nightmare in the daylight, he is.

Elizabeth: Who's there?

Minnie: It's Minnie, my lady.

Burgomaster: Bring him down when you've bound him.

Minnie: Do you want any help there? I'll bind him!

Minnie: Shoot him! Why don't you shoot him?

Minnie: So, maybe nobody loves me. Maybe nobody will ever love me. But maybe it's not about being loved by somebody else.

Minnie: I hate you!

Monroe: [softly] Yeah, well, I like you.

Minnie: What's the point of living if nobody loves you. Nobody sees you. Nobody touches you.

[first lines]

Minnie: I had sex today... Holy shit.

Minnie: I always thought I wanted to be exactly like my mom. But she thinks she needs a man to be happy. I don't.

Minnie: I want someone to be so totally in love with me that they would feel like they would die if I were gone. Maybe Monroe could love me like that.

Minnie: It feels like there are little weights hanging from my heart that swing and tug every time I move, every time the wind blows.

Minnie: It would've been better to have slept and dreamed than to watch the night pass and the slow moon sink.

Minnie: This is for all the girls when they have grown. Signing off, trusty diary. Love, Minnie Goetze.

[Minnie runs to the bathroom and locks herself in to talk to Kimmie on the phone privately. Gretel shows up right behind and starts listening in]

Kimmie: [voice] Alright, tell me.

Minnie: [whispering excitedly] I can't tell you; you have to guess.

Kimmie: [voice] You fucked somebody!

Minnie: [surprised, giggling] What? How did you know?

Kimmie: [on the other end of the line, curling her hair in front of the mirror, smiling] I'm so happy. Who was it?

Minnie: [whispering loudly] Guess! Gretel is listening.

Gretel: [from outside the bathroom door] I am not! You're so full of yourself!

Minnie: Don't laugh at me!

[playfully hitting him]

Monroe: Or what?

[laughing with her]

Minnie: OR I'M GONNA TELL MY MOTHER!

Monroe: [pauses, stunned] Get dressed.

Minnie: What? You can't take it?

Monroe: [trying to contain his anger] Get *dressed*.

Minnie: No!

Monroe: [exploding] YOU RUINED IT, MINNIE! YOU'RE A FUCKING CHILD! I SHOULD TELL YOUR MOTHER! YOU WANT THAT? YOU'RE MANIPULATING ME! WELL I'M NOT HAVING IT!

Minnie: [starts to cry, crouches to the floor, naked]

Minnie: I feel sorry for them kids.

Tom: The ones on the rock, you mean?

Minnie: Yeah, them too. I was thinking of them other poor little devils. Here at the college.

Tom: Damn! They're all right. Rolling in cash, most of them. Or at least their mothers and fathers are.

Minnie: Some of them are orphans, or wards, and you know.

Minnie: My goodness, don't nobody like chicken gumbo?

Alice Moore: Could you squeeze a coffee pot for me, Minnie?

Minnie: I sure could! Only this coffee's been workin' so long, its got muscles.
