Steven Russell Quotes in I Love You Phillip Morris (2009)

Steven Russell: [introducing Arnie to prison] Anything you want from the outside, he's the guy. Candy, cigarettes, drugs, whatever. He's the guy. Just keep in mind, it's gonna cost you a lot of money - or you could suck his dick. Your choice. You're gonna catch a beatin' any day now. That's just the way it is. I lost three teeth, cracked a vertebra. Anyway, all you gotta do is fight back. Win or lose, just fight back - or you could try to suck the guy's dick. Your choice.

Phillip Morris: You fucker!

Steven Russell: I know. I'm sorry. You weren't supposed to find out.

Phillip Morris: Well, I did.

Steven Russell: I couldn't take a chance telling you. You know that. I couldn't. But, Phillip, I only did it just so I could get here to you. I did it so I could talk again. And here I am.

Phillip Morris: You're so skinny.

Steven Russell: I'm fine. Just hungry.

Phillip Morris: Steven, I don't...

Steven Russell: Wait, listen. I just came here to tell you one thing, and that's it. You don't have to take me back. I just want to say one thing. I know you think that we were nothing but a lie, but underneath all those lies, there was always something that was real. I thought about what you said to me. You said you don't know who I am, but I know now. I know who I am. I'm not a lawyer, I'm not a CFO, I'm not a cop, I'm not some kind of escape artist. Those Steven Russells are dead. Now all that's left is the man that loves you. And if you could see that, believe it, I promise I'll never be anything else ever again.

Phillip Morris: How do I know you're not bullshitting me again?

Steven Russell: You don't.

Steven Russell: Pardon my french. My mother smoked during pregnancy.

Steven Russell: I love you, Phillip Morris! I love you!

Steven Russell: Phillip...

Phillip Morris: Don't.

Steven Russell: I love you.

Phillip Morris: From the moment we met, you've done nothin' but lie. Our whole relationship, just lies. I'm such an asshole. You took advantage of me, just like all the others. You were supposed to protect me, but you just did nothing but make a fool out of me. And you expect me to love you? How can I? How can I love you? I don't even know who you are. And you know what's sad? I don't even think you know who you are, so how am I supposed to love someone that don't even exist? You tell me.

Officer: Morris, you're up.

Phillip Morris: I'll never forgive you Steven. Never!
