Nate Quotes in Heat (1995)

Nate: What happened out there?

Neil McCauley: Don't ask...

Nate: So, so long, brother. You take it easy. You're home free.

Nate: [to Neil looking at personnel files of Vincent] Vice sergeant, graduate school, marine corps, lieutenant in robbery homicide, major crimes unit. He's taken down some heavy crews. He's a fucking maniac! He was working narcotics before that, and has been three marriages times, what'd you think that means? He like staying at home? Be it as it may, he's one of these guys out there prowling around all night, dedicated.

Nate: [Over the phone] Are you on a cellular or a hard line?

Nate: They run investment portfolio for offshore drug money

Neil McCauley: What'd we got?

Nate: We ripped off his bearer bonds

Neil McCauley: His got insurance.

Nate: That's the point, he collects a hundred percent from the insurance, he is a "player" and maybe buys his bonds back from us for sixty percent of their value make forty percent on top of the hundred percent but instead of selling it back to him we sell it out on the street that's an extra three hundred thousand to you.

Neil McCauley: Try it on.

Nate: [over the phone] nobody knew the "merch" was yours, be that as it may, my way you get a hundred percent from the insurance company and take the bonds back from us at sixty cents on the dollar, make yourself another forty percent. The operation doesn't skip a beat, everybody makes out

Nate: good, this percentage, nobody gets their underwear twisted over this

Roger Van Zant: yeah, so you have your man call me and we'll set up the meet

[seeing photo]

Nate: That your wife?

Sgt. Gazzo: Yeah, 40 years and counting.

Nate: How do you do it?

Sgt. Gazzo: I don't know. I guess if you say you're gonna fix the screen door, you better fix the screen door. Because the first time you let her down, she'll be waiting for you the next time.

Nate: I saw you talkin to tat gal back there. Ever ad a gal o your own?

Will: No.

Nate: Don't. They trouble.

Will: Not all o em.

Nate: Yeaa, all o em

[5 second pause]

Nate: But they werth it.

Will: [smiles]

Nate: ...because right then, I couldn't have driven a biscuit into a plate full of gravy.

Nate: You're full of shit. Ok, you're not soulmates. They just hacked your Facebook.

Nate: [as Andy takes a call from Miranda] You know, in case you were wondering - the person whose calls you always take? That's the relationship you're in. I hope you two are very happy together.

Nate: Why do women need so many bags?

Lilly: Shut up.

Nate: You have one. You put all your junk in it, and that's it. You're done.

Doug: Fashion is not about utility. An accessory is merely a piece of iconography used to express individual identity.

Lilly: Oh! And it's pretty.

Doug: That too.

Nate: [to Andy] I wouldn't care if you were out there pole-dancing all night, as long as you did it with a little integrity!

Andy Sachs: Same Andy, better clothes.

Nate: I like the old clothes.

Nate: [to Andy] You used to make fun of the Runway girls, now you're one of them!

[first lines]

Nate: Good luck.

Andy Sachs: Baby, I don't have a thing to wear to work.

Nate: I thought you'd answer the phone and bring coffee; you need a ball gown for that?

Andy Sachs: I think I might.

Nate: Dewey, I'm cut in half pretty bad.

Dr. Buddy Rydell: Nate, didn't we decide that you shouldn't listen to the ballgame?

Nate: Don't worry, Doctor B. It's just a regular season game. Not that important. See, Iverson just missed a layup at the buzzer, Sixers lose. Who gives a crap, huh? I mean it's just a silly game anyways.

[his face scrunches up]

Nate: Ooooohhhh the anger sharks are swimming in my head! YOU GOTTA DUNK THAT SHIT! YOU GOTTA DUNK THAT SHIT!

Dr. Buddy Rydell: Stay with me. Stay with me. Repeat after me. Goosefraba.

Nate: Gooooose... blah blah

Dr. Buddy Rydell: No, not blah blah, Nate. Goosefraba.

Nikki: He had a black face.

Nate: A mask! Okay? He had a mask, not face. Get it right!

Nate: I can be your co-pilot Drew. We can fly her into some international territory, you feel me?

Nate: Now why did you have to burn my toast, baby?

Nisi: Now you know said you wanted everything well done.

Nate: I just say what I feel and regret it later.

Maurice: [about Daniel] About five years ago, he caught his fiance letting someone else dip his fork into her fondue - and by "fondue" I mean...

Nate: Yeah, I get the idea.

Maurice: He hasn't dated since. He hasn't even... put the train...

Nate: Yup, yup, yup. I, uh... I figured it out.

Colin: I am a big fan of your work.

Nate: I wish I could say the same.

Colin: Why don't you come work for me? You're young. You should be with a winner.

Nate: I prefer to work somewhere with a little bit of legacy.

Colin: Nothing lasts forever.

[Both laugh]

Nate: [staring up at Colin's bald head] Clearly.

Nate: May I PLEASE be excused?

Carolyn Carmichael: No, you may not. You're gonna sit there until you eat every black eyed pea on your plate.

[to the kids]

Carolyn Carmichael: And when I come home tonight, I want this kitchen clean.

Clinton: [the kids groan] See what you started, Nate? Shoot!

Nate: I HATE Black-eyed peas!

Carolyn Carmichael: Yeah, that's right! There's no reason why your father and I should have to run around here cleaning up after you shifty Negroes!

Clinton: Daddy don't make us clean up, don't you, Daddy?

Woody Carmichael: [Pouring lemonade in glass] I ain't in this. Leave me out of this.

Carolyn Carmichael: Your daddy may not mind but your momma do. I'm going with your father to a gig tonight and when I come home, this house BET-TER be clean. I'll be goddamed if I should have to do anything when I come home from work but sleep and relax!

Simon: [after seeing Nate get hypnotized for the first time] Hahahahahaha that was incredible! Are you Alright?

Nate: Yeah I'm fine, why?

Simon: Hehehehehe he doesn't know! A HaHa, oh I'm sorry man.

Nate: J.J., Don't let your mouth overload your ass, now.

Mason: So, 3 years ago, right, we have this girl here named Liza Green. She's 17,older than everybody else on the unit at the time, and I don't mean this in a pervy way or anything, but she's real pretty.

Grace: She was gorgeous.

Mason: All the guys on the unit want her but she won't give any of them the time of day because she was busy. She was always studying.

Grace: She was very smart. Mmm-hmm.

Mason: Really smart. So, two weeks before she turns 18 and leaves, we get this new intake. It's a 15 year old guy. He's really tough. He's really quiet. But, he's cool. He's just kind of like kicking back, checking out the scene. And I swear I didn't hear him say a word, the whole first week he was here. But, then one day, we were doing community meeting and we ask for announcements. And this guy raises his hand, and he looks directly at Liza Green, then he says, I know you don't know me. I just got here. But I just want to say that I've been watching you. I think you're the most interesting thing about this place, and I'm really sad I'm not going to get to know you before you leave.

[Jessica gets surprised]

Mason: I just wanted to tell you that.

Nate: What a pimp! What'd she say?

Mason: Nothin.

[Everybody laughs]

Grace: It was so awkward.

Mason: It was so fuckin awkward I couldn't stand it. And then she left and never talked to him. The kids teased him for like a year about it.

Nate: Oh, that blows.

Mason: No, he didn't give a shit. No, didn't even faze him. It was like, he knew somethin everybody else didn't.

Nate: Who is this guy?

Mason: That was Marcus.

Jessica: What? I never heard this story.

Grace: Oh, wait. It gets so much better.

Mason: Yeah, yeah. So, check this out. Grace and I are getting coffee at Ronnie's this morning. And we walk in, and who do we see sittin there alone at a table? Marcus! Buttoned-up his shirt. He's sippin on a cappuccino.

Nate: Marcus drinks cappuccino!

Mason: So, we're talking to him. We're catchin up. And he's telling us about his new job at the aquarium and his much he tales home in tips. And now, he's going to start applying for classes next semester.

Jessica: Oh my god!

Mason: Yeah. And it's weird 'coz I'm like, I have not heard Marcus talk this much ever, since I met him, like, what is the deal? Is he excited to see us? Is he nervous about somethin? And that's when I notice, there's another cappuccino on the table and an empty chair next to him. And then just like in the fuckin movies, bathroom door flings open, out walks Liza Green.

Nate: They were on a date?

Grace: It was like their fifth one.

Mason: As soon as she sits down, dude just goes beet red. So embarrassed.

Grace: Oh... oh, it was so cute.

Mason: Oh, it was so fucking cute, I almost pissed my pants.

Jessica: You Okay, man? How do you feel?

Nate: Not good. I mean, that... that was crazy. They just fight like that?

Jessica: Nate, I'm not asking you how you're feeling.

Nate: Right. Sorry.

[last lines]

Nate: [whispers] I love you.

[Nate jumps off the building]

Lily: Nate!

Harriet: No!

[first lines]

Nate: Hey, Billy?

Nate: You put a guy in a room with an interrogator, you ask him a question, 95% of the guys will tell you the answer straight away. Now I got a question for you, and I know you're gonna tell me the answer. But unfortunately for you, I'm the guy they always bring in for the more headstrong 5 percent. And even more unfortunately for you, I'm a guy who really fucking loves his job.

Nate: Are you stabbing me?

Nate: [in hammock] Fate has ordained... the men who went to the moon to explore in peace, remain on the moon to rest in peace.

[turns suddenly to face camera]

Ben Anderson: [filming Nate] What are the hell are you talking about?

Nate: I feel my thoughts... fragmenting.

Nate: Get it out. It's so cold. Get it out, Ben. Get it out, get it out! Damn it Ben get it out!

Nate: I'm getting worse. Ben... you gotta leave me here.

Ben Anderson: No.

[pause, fiddling with landing module's controls]

Ben Anderson: No one's leaving anyone.

Nate: You'll have to.

Ben Anderson: We are not dying up here.

Nate: What's Manchild Syndrome?

Bianca: Well, it's quite serious actually...

Nate: I'm not sure if I should.

Andy: There is no should or suppose to, it's about what's Nate wanna do.

Deb Merritt: How am I supposed to know she'd be whoring around with everyone?

Nate: With everyone?

Deb Merritt: Yeah, she closed the bar every night since you been gone. They even named a drink after her on the happy hour menu called The Whore Bride.

Nate: [surprising her on the porch in front of the bar] I was thinking we can make out?

Arlene: What, on a porch? Not even in the bar, but in front of the entrance? Forget it.

Nate: No, in my car!

[points to the parked cars in front of the bar]

Arlene: What, out there? It's fucking 'Nam out there.

[heavy rain in the background]

Nate: Not in my car, it's not.

[pause]

Nate: Look, you won't get wet.

[puts up an umbrella]

Nate: I promise you.

Arlene: [grins] You know, most guys wouldn't brag about that.

Nate: [Spoken to Emily as she steadies his left hand during target practice] Show me again.
