Rat Quotes in The Core (2003)

Rat: You guys aren't here to whack me, are you? Because I was really, really hoping to have sex before that happened.

Rat: Didn't have details on the op, Colonel. So we brought everything, even the condoms.

Rat: I hope there's a good movie on this flight.

[Grant, wearing a tuxedo, is introduced to the commando unit]

Rat: Who's this? 007?

Rat: I'm going to blow off your head. Then I'm going to kill you.

Rat: The boy is being held in an apple crate on top of a gun cabinet in the attic of Bean Annex.

Mr. Fox: Would you have told me if I hadn't killed you first?

Rat: Never.

Rat: [Drinking from Bean's Cider] ... Like melted gold.

Rat: Y'all are trespassin' now. *Illegally*.

Sinbad: What is it?

Rat: It just ends, captain. It's the edge of the world.

Jin: Pay up. It's flat.

Rat: [Sinbad is looking annoyed after Marina compliments a sailor for "courtesy"] You know, you really ought to be a little more courteous.

Sinbad: [Sinbad punches Rat off screen] Oh, Great. Now I'm getting etiquette lessons from a bilge rat.

The Judge: Before I pass sentence, will the jury care to find him guilty?

Rat: Wait. One of those wabbits is a weasel.

Chief Weasel: No I'm not. I'm a rabbit!

The Judge: [to the jury] Is he a rabbit?

Chief Weasel: [whispers] Say I'm a rabbit.

[Rabbits all nod, say "Rabbit" and stroke their long ears]

Rat: That weasel is never a wabbit!

Rat: [Brushing the stain on Badger's coat] We can get that out with a bit of salt.

Rat: I say! Badger!

Sawyer: Well, well. Run of the soundstage, use of Darla's ark, costumes... I don't know. Something seems fishy.

Frances: I beg your pardon?

Sawyer: Sorry. It's just that I smell a rat.

Rat: Excuse me?

Sawyer: Oh, never mind.

[Toad enters Rat and Mole's house and faints]

Mole: Why... it's a poor old lady. Let's move her over by the fire.

[They move Toad, then his chain ball lands on Rat's foot]

Rat: Oww! Toad! What are you doing here?

Mr. Toad: Well, I just, um... sort of...

Mole: Well, this is a merry Christmas... but aren't you afraid of the police?

Mr. Toad: Afraid of the police?

[laughs]

Mr. Toad: I, Toad, afraid of the police?

[he laughs some more, then a loud knock and yelling comes from the door]

Angus MacBadger: [from behind the door] OPEN UP! OPEN UP, I SAY!

Mr. Toad: [mortified] THE POLICE!

[while trying to get Toad Hall in order, MacBadger gets interrupted by two knocks on the door, the second one, thankfully, from Rat and Mole]

Angus MacBadger: Oh, it's you, Rat. And Mole, too. Thank goodness, lads. You've come at last.

[they go into Toad Hall]

Narrator: Poor MacBadger, he'd reach the end of his rope, or as he said himself...

Angus MacBadger: I'm feelin' like a nervous wreck.

Rat: I say, MacBadger, what seems to be the trouble?

Angus MacBadger: [upset] Something's got to be done about Toad! This time, he is goin' too far!

Mole: But he promised us.

Angus MacBadger: Promises? Ha! What good are his promises when these wild manias take him? Now look, you're his dearest friends, are you not?

Rat: Yes.

Mole: Very dear friends.

Angus MacBadger: Then, lads, you've got to find Toad and stop him.

Rat: What's he doing?

Angus MacBadger: He's got a new mania. He's rampagin' about the county in a canary yellow gypsy cart with a horse named Cyril.

[Rat and Mole have interrupted Toad's rampage with Cyril and the cart]

Rat: Toad, we want to have a talk with you.

Mr. Toad: Oh, a visit? Splendid.

Rat: Toad, this is serious. You've got to give up that horse and cart.

Mr. Toad: [in disbelief] Give up my... Oh, but my dear Ratty, this is my career. Surely, you can't mean it.

Rat: I do mean it. You've got to stop this foolishness.

Mr. Toad: No.

Rat: You must!

Mr. Toad: No, I won't do it!

Rat: Your reckless is behavior is giving us animals a bad name.

Mr. Toad: I won't listen to anything!

[he covers his ears and everything Rat says is softened, but whenever he removes his hands from his ears, Rat speaks louder]

Rat: Your thoughts are becoming a menace to society. If you won't think of yourself, then think of poor old MacBadger. And as for that horse, no good could ever come from galloping about with such a fast and irresponsible beast.

[when he hears this last part, Cyril covers his ears with his ears. Toad laughs]

Mr. Toad: I want you fellows to meet my noble steed, Cyril.

Cyril Proudbottom: Aye, that's me.

[Clicks tongue]

Cyril Proudbottom: A bit of a trotter, a bit of a rotter. How do you do, how do you do, how do you DO?

Rat: [lifting his hat] How do you do?

Cyril Proudbottom: [to Toad] Say, gov'nor, your friends appear to be on the stuffy side, what?

[Toad laughs]

[Toad is acting like a motorcar. His friends blame it on his mania for cars and grab him and drag him home]

Narrator: Mania, that's it. That's what it was, a positive mania. No telling where it would end, either; it may linger for months, and with Toad Hall at stake.

[Toad's friends have successfully escorted him to his room in his home at Toad Hall]

Narrator: Well, they had no choice. There was only one thing to do: lock the poor chap in his chamber and keep him there until the poison worked out of his system.

[Rat and Mole dress Toad in his nightclothes and throw water over him to stop his acting like a car]

Mole: [after Toad stops] That's better.

Rat: [to Toad] And you can't escape, you know. Simply no use trying.

[They shut the door and lock it. Toad pounds on the door and tugs on it, trying to open it]

Mr. Toad: Let me outta here! Open up! Open up, I say! Please, Ratty, Moley, open the door!

Narrator: Now, of course, playing jailer to one's dearest friend wasn't much of an enjoyable experience. In fact, Moley weakened right at the start and wanted to call it quits, but Ratty said, "No. Definitely not." This time they must be firm. After all, it wasn't just a matter of saving Toad from himself. There was MacBadger to consider, and Toad Hall and all that it stood for.

Mr. Toad: A motorcar! Gad... what have I been missing?

[Toad, having just seen a motorcar go by him, is so enraptured by it that he starts making noises and moving around like a car]

Mole: Ratty! It isn't. He hasn't!

Rat: It is, and he has it: a new mania. Motor mania!

Mr. Toad: [frantically to Rat thinking the police are at the door] Hide me! Hide me, Ratty!

Rat: Sorry, Toad, but you owe a debt to society, and you've got to pay. Mole, let them in.

Angus MacBadger: Aye, lads, I've just made a very important discovery.

[as he speaks, we cut to Toad Hall, where Winky and the weasels are living now]

Angus MacBadger: Toad Hall is ablaze with lights. And in possession, a pack of weasels. And the leader of the gang is none other than Mister...

Weasels: Winky!

[Winky shows he has the deed to Toad Hall]

Weasels: Hip hip hooray!

[end of flashback]

Angus MacBadger: And so you see, he DID trade Toad Hall for the motorcar.

Rat: Then, Toad was innocent all the time.

Angus MacBadger: Aye, lads, and if only he were here right now...

[Toad, who was clinging to the top of the Christmas tree, suddenly falls into MacBadger's arms]

Angus MacBadger: Toad!

Mr. Toad: [happily] Angus!

Rat: Sorry, Toad. I misjudged you.

Mole: I hope, someday, you'll find it in your heart...

Mr. Toad: Tut, tut. Not another word. To err is human to forgive...

Angus MacBadger: [dropping Toad on the ground] Thaddeus, not so fast! You're still guilty in the eyes of the law. To prove your innocence, we've got to get that paper away from Winky! Now, I have a plan. We'll sneak in through the secret tunnel...

[Bones takes his brother Frankie to Rat]

Bones: Can you watch Franky for me?

Rat: Why?

Bones: 'Cause I'm gonna break the spell.

[Rat asks Bones if he believes her about the spell]

Rat: [Rat whispering] Now you believe me about the spell?

Bones: [Bones whispering] No.

Rat: [Rat whispering] Well, you know, the only way to break it is to bring a piece to the surface.

[Rat sings a song while laying in bed her pet Nick]

Rat: [Rat singing] Whisper, that you want me / And I'll, love you always / Truly, you will be mine / For eternity / Whisper, that you love me / That you'll never leave me / Be mine / For always / I'll be yours, forever / Truly, you will be mine / You will be my baby / Ooh-Ooh / Ooh, Ooh-Ooh / Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh, Ooh-Ooh / Ooh-Ooh

[Bones tells Rat that he found a road that leads underwater]

Bones: I found a road that goes underwater.

Rat: Where?

Bones: Behind the old zoo.

Rat: Must go down to that town.

Bones: What town?

Rat: You know, the town... at the bottom of the reservoir.

Bones: [Bones scoffs] That's crazy. What does that mean?

Rat: It's not really that crazy. They flooded a bunch of towns when they dammed the river. That's why they call this Lost River.

[Rat asks Bones why doesn't he just leave]

Rat: Why don't you just get out of this place? What's keeping you here? You've got your car.

Bones: I mean, my Mom... still feels attached to the house, and Franky.

Rat: Is that what's keeping you here? Your Mom and Franky?

Bones: I don't know. What else... what else do I have?

[Bones asks Rat if she'll leave with him]

Bones: What about you?

Rat: What about me?

Bones: What if something happened, and we had to leave tomorrow? Would you come? Would you leave?

Rat: Me and you?

Bones: Yeah, me and you.

Rat: [Rat smiles] Maybe.

[Rat tells Bones about the spell over Lost River]

Rat: My grandmother used to live there. She hasn't been the same ever since. No one has. As soon as the last town was drowned... an evil spell was cast on Lost River.

Bones: I think you're making it up.

Rat: I'm not. That's why this whole place feels like it's underwater, too. It's true. Makes sense... everything that's going on around here. It's got to be for some reason.

[Rat tells Bones that Bully is trouble]

Rat: Why would you still something from Bully? Why would you do something that stupid?

Bones: 'Cause it was mine.

Rat: You can't steal from a guy like that.

Bones: Fuck, he stole from me. I mean...

Rat: Whether you stole from him or he stole from you, he's still gonna cut your head off. He's trouble. He'll hurt you.

[Bully tries talking to Rat outside the gas station]

Bully: What's your name?

Rat: Rat.

Bully: Rat?

Rat: Yeah.

Bully: Why?

Rat: Why is my name Rat?

Bully: Yeah.

Rat: 'Cause I've got a pet rat.

Bully: Oh, yeah? What's his name?

Rat: Nick.

Bully: Nick the rat?

[Bully asks to give Rat a ride home]

Bully: Want a ride home?

Rat: No, I'm all right. I'm pretty close to here, so...

Bully: Okay. I gotta take a piss anyway.

Cosmo Carboni: [after Cosmo beats Rat in a race] Hey, nice try Rat.

Rat: I'll get you greaseball!
