Ralph Quotes:

  • Zolo: Don't I know you?

    Ralph: No comprendo.

    Zolo: You are an American?

    Ralph: [changing to French accent to hide his identity] Uh, odio, er... ah... americanos, uh... I spit on 'em, ptuh! I hate americanos, they're scumo! Scum!

  • Ralph: Hey Ira, the kid's here with the broad. They're taking her out to the boat.

    Ira: Look at those snappers, will you!

    Ralph: We shoulda just rifled her room.

    Ira: Ralph, how many times do I have to tell you, "It's not in the country"?

    Ralph: Well this kidnapping stuff makes me real nervous. It's a piss poor idea. It's nothing but trouble. Look, we've stolen enough of these antique trinkets to keep us living comfortably for the rest of our lives. Let's kiss-off this third-world toilet.

    Ira: One last big one, trust me Ralph, trust me. Oh! Did you see that Ralph, that ugly, striped son-of-a-bitch down there!

    Ralph: Someone's gonna get killed, and you're farting around with prehistoric animals. Come on Ira, let's forget about this one. I've got a real bad feeling about it, real bad.

    Ira: Will you stop worrying. Have I ever hurt you? I will never hurt you, I can't hurt you. We've got the same blood. We're not two people, we are one person! Would I hurt me?

    [one of the alligators hisses]

  • Ira: Of all the things you could say to me right now, "I lost her," Ralph, is gonna get the most teeth broken in your mouth.

I have been through every one-horse shithole for a two-hundred mile radius. You should have seen the river I had to traverse this morning. So don't give me any of your crap, you gutless wonder. You have been an embarrasment to our family ever since the day you were born! And let me tell you something else, Ira...

    [he turns and sees Joan and Jack getting out of a car]

    Ralph: You are luckiest son of a bitch that ever walked the face of the earth! She's here!

    Ira: She's there!

    Ralph: She's right here! She's walking towards the phone. She's with some guy. How do I know? She likes guys! So do you, maricon!

    Ralph: Now move it, before Batman comes home.

  • Ralph: Not only are we kidnappers, but I'm about to have a close encounter with a cattle prod!

  • Joan Wilder: Well, wait a minute, now. Going for the stone was my idea.

    Ralph: Ah, that's what all the good con artists want you to think. He made you think you needed it, you sap!

  • Ralph: [On the phone] All right, cousin, as usual, you got us in some serious sh*t here. First of all, the stupid dame got on the wrong bus. Now, I'm stuck in some kind of Spic-o military compound. They're mobilizing for Iwo Jima here.

    Ira: Do they know who you are?

    Ralph: Oh, oh, do you think I'm going up an introducing myself to every cop in the pueblo?

  • Ralph: You're all I thought about for six months. They threw me in a jail filled with rejects from the communicable disease ward. Every wacko, drippy, open-sored low-life was in that joint, all of them wanting to hire on as my proctologist.

  • Ralph: Come on, Colton! Where's the jewel?

    Jewel: Ralph, I am the Jewel. The Jewel of the Nile.

    Ralph: The stone, moron!

  • Ralph: I got to get off of this camel. It's breakin' my ass!

  • Tarak: Here! You are welcome! We have food. We have drink!

    Ralph: You gotta toilet?

  • Ralph: Ah, what's that I hear? A heart breaking? You sap! Better keep your mind on business, Romeo, you'll wind up gettin' yourself killed over some broad who dumped you.

  • Ralph: You hook up with a bunch of juju beads, you see what happens?

    Jack T. Colton: Just take you're lead from me and you'll be fine.

    Ralph: What are we going to do? Walk right through the center of town?

    Jack T. Colton: I'm going to put you up a camel's ass - for openers.

    Ralph: I think I might like it.

  • Ralph: [Last lines] Sufis' rule!

  • [the captive Ralph is being dragged across the desert floor by the Sufis]

    Ralph: [to himself] Oh, please. Let me get out of this alive. I swear to God, I'll be a good boy from tomorrow on.

    Ralph: But tonight, I gotta kill Colton!

  • Jack T. Colton: What the hell are you talkin' about? I don't even know who the hell you are!

    Tarak: You must come with me to help find the Jewel.

    Ralph: [face lights up] Jewel? What jewel?

    Tarak: The Jewel of the Nile. Our most pricess Jewel. Omar stole my people's Jewel. Omar is a very bad man.

    Ralph: Yeah, that scum, I spit on him! Jack... buddy? Let's help this nice man get his jewel back.

    Tarak: Yes... yes?

    Jack T. Colton: Here, I don't know where you're from or what you're on, but I'm sailing my boat tonight.

    Tarak: No! You must come to help find the Jewel now! Before Omar kill many people! As long as Omar have the Jewel... nothing can stop him.

    Jack T. Colton: Look, I'm going on the boat. You guys can do what you want.

    Marek: That's extraordinary. It's not EXACTLY what we had in mind, but...

    [laughs]

    Marek: Extraordinary!

    Marek: I could use a man like you! A position on my staff, perhaps?

    [gestures at Ralph's body]

    Marek: we appear to have an opening! Think about it! Your own room, full run of the place, free meals: anyone you can catch, kill and eat!

    Robbins: [sarcastic] How's your health plan?

    Marek: Eh, well it's not really necessary, is it? I mean the average life-expectancy around here is, what? Six months?

    [leans in to Robbins' face]

    Marek: I've been here seven years.

    Botch: The TIME. They have clocks and watches on their wrists which tell them the time they don't have because they are always rushing. And they think they don't have...

    Ralph: Wait, wait, I'm not get... What is "time"?

    Botch: Two o'clock, four o'clock, five o'clock.

    Ralph: It's a clock?

    Botch: It's a clock.

    Ralph: And they watch it?

    Ralph: Oh. Uh... Uh-huh.

    Fate: I've lost count.

    Ralph: Well, I can just get off here.

    Fate: This is just where you're getting off.

    Fate: It's the most expensive suitcase in the world, there's nothing more expensive than platinum.

    Piggy: Ralph... I can't see.

    Ralph: I know.

    Jack Merridew: Yeah? Well, what are you going to do, huh?

  • Tony: What are we gonna do with thieves when we catch them?

    Ralph: We can't have kids stealing and just running wild. We're going to have to have stricter rules and hand out demerits... I guess.

    Piggy: Whether we get rescued

    Jack Merridew: You better start learning to live with yourself, because we ain't gonna get rescued

  • Ralph: The reason I'm calling this assembly is, too much people are screwing around when they should be working. I mean theirs a bunch of things. Some people don't even know when to use the bathroom.

    Zak: [solemnly] Guys, things have gotta change.

    [Roger goes angry and pushes a huge boulder, which heads right to Piggy]

    Piggy: AAH!

    Ralph: Piggy!

    [the boys go silently still as they see Piggy's body wash away in the sea]

  • Piggy: [as the boys are talking about the beast] I don't believe in no ghosts, ever.

    Kelsey: Oh yeah? Go ahead and explain it to us.

  • Gordy: My mom says the guy who's taking us has hiked all over the world.

    Barnhill: I'm sure he won't be half as good as the guy me and my dad had on our trip to the Serengeti.

    Ralph: Barnhill, if you're dad is so friggin' cool, then why isn't he our scout leader?

    Barnhill: Oh yeah. Spies have a lot of time for the scouts.

  • Ralph: Nice dolls.

    Barnhill: Did you bring a pretty pink umbrella too, in case it starts to rain?

    Kelsey: No, I figured we could all just crouch under a pair of your underwear and wait it out.

  • [attempting to keep a group of crows from tearing him and the other pig cop to pieces]

    Ralph: Would you like to see a picture of my kids?

  • [Travers gives Ralph a list of people to his handicapped daughter, Jane]

    Ralph: "Albert Einstein, Van Gogh, Roosevelt, Frida Kahlo" - What is this?

    P.L. Travers: Chlorine, and sweat.

  • Ralph: Hey, sun came out again.

    P.L. Travers: You say it as if you're surprised, as if the sun were particular about for whom it appears. It seems you think I am responsible for its miraculous dawning every day. For heaven's sake, it's California.

    Ralph: Certainly is!

    P.L. Travers: I'd so much rather be accountable for the rain.

    Ralph: Oh, that's sad.

    P.L. Travers: Sad is entirely the wrong emotion. I shan't bother explaining why. It would just... Zip!

    Ralph: Huh. Okey-dokey.

    Ralph: So does the sun.

    P.L. Travers: Be quiet!

    Ralph: [to Phil] And some flapjacks.

    Phil: [to Cop] Too early for flapjacks?

  • Phil: You wanna throw up here, or you wanna throw up in the car?

    Ralph: I think... both.

    [laughs]

    Ralph: Good save!

  • Ralph: I take it this bum will be calling you?

    Linda: Dad! He's a millionaire.

    Ralph: You have my permission to marry him.

  • Ralph: Here's your tea.

    Hobson: I despise tea. Now, would you go to the bathroom and bring me two aspirin? You'll find them on the top shelf to the left, behind the untouched shaving cream.

    [Ralph looks embarrassed and leaves the room. Hobson coughs]

    Linda: That sounds bad. Have you seen a doctor?

    Hobson: Yes. And he has seen me.

    Linda: You know, I think Arthur has a very good friend. May I kiss you on the cheek?

    Hobson: Is it something you feel strongly about?

    Linda: Yes.

    [She kisses Hobson, who smiles, nods, and prepares to leave]

    Hobson: The aspirins are for you, my dear.

    Mrs. Baker: I know, Mr. Santori. So is diarrhea, but I wouldn't classify it as entertainment.

  • Ralph: She sucked your what?

  • Ralph: Easy to get a beer gut when you own a bar. You don't even notice as it happens. Then all of a sudden, you look down and you can't even see your own damn shoes anymore. Yeah, I can't wait for that day.

  • Ralph: Mona, I'm a vampire.

    Mona: And I'm the bride of Frankenstein.

  • Ralph: That was my mother you just boned.

    [long awkward pause]

    Johnathan: Get the fuck out of here.

  • Peter: Dude, you can't change your life. I love your life. It's like a porno movie, but with better lighting. There's great cheesy music, lots of hot women. You could use more lesbians, though.

    Ralph: Well, truth is, we can't afford it ourselves.
