Walter (Gib) Gibson Quotes in The Sure Thing (1985)

Walter (Gib) Gibson: [suddenly appearing from hiding in the back of the pick-up and hopping into the passenger seat] Thanks for the ride. I've been out here all day. I'm not interrupting anything am I?

Pick-Up Driver: [holding Alison] Me and the wife just having a little squabble, OK.

Walter (Gib) Gibson: Oh. It's not easy getting rides. Do you know what I mean? I mean most people are real afraid to pick up hitchhikers. I mean you never know who you might pick up. I mean I could be some crazed slime ball. I mean a real deranged, violent psycho. You know what I mean? I mean a guy who would rip out your heart and eat it

[singing]

Walter (Gib) Gibson: just for pleasure.

[maniacally]

Walter (Gib) Gibson: I'm talking about a total maniac! You know what I mean?

[beat]

Walter (Gib) Gibson: DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

Pick-Up Driver: [unsettled] Yeah...

Walter (Gib) Gibson: [looks around nervously] Why aren't we moving?

[creepily]

Walter (Gib) Gibson: Don't you want to give me a ride?

Pick-Up Driver: I'm only goin' about another mile.

Walter (Gib) Gibson: [flipping out] Then what the hell did you pick me up for? You think I got nothing better to do with my life then to sit here and pass the time with you,

[leans over inches away from his face]

Walter (Gib) Gibson: SHIT BRAAAIN!

[sits back]

Walter (Gib) Gibson: I don't think I want this ride after all.

[gets out, then comes back]

Walter (Gib) Gibson: And I think I think I'll take your wife, if you don't mind.

[Gib pulls the relieved Alison out of the pick-up, cackling maniacally]

Lady in Car: What are you gonna name it?

Alison Bradbury: What?

Lady in Car: The baby.

Alison Bradbury: [realizing she's faking being pregnant] Oh, the baby. Well, if it's a girl, Cynthia, and if it's a boy, Elliot.

Lady in Car: Those are lovely names.

Walter (Gib) Gibson: Elliot? You're gonna name the kid Elliot? No, you can't name the kid Elliot. Elliot is a fat kid with glasses who eats paste. You're not gonna name the kid Elliot. You gotta give him a real name. Give him a name. Like Nick.

Alison Bradbury: Nick?

Walter (Gib) Gibson: Yeah, Nick. Nick's a real name. Nick's your buddy. Nick's the kind of guy you can trust, the kind of guy you can drink a beer with, the kind of guy who doesn't mind if you puke in his car, Nick!

[Alison looks disgusted]

Walter (Gib) Gibson: [to Lady in Car] Oh, vomit. I'm sorry. Vomit.

Walter (Gib) Gibson: [dancing with the Sure Thing, shouting over the loud party music so Alison will hear] So, what else did Lance say about me?

The Sure Thing: [loudly] He said you're a virgin.

Walter (Gib) Gibson: What?

The Sure Thing: [the music stops just as she says] He thinks you might be gay.

[everybody hears, stops and stares at them]

Walter (Gib) Gibson: [Gib pretends to laugh, then mutters] Don't say that!

The Sure Thing: I didn't say it, Lance said it!

[the music starts up again]

Walter (Gib) Gibson: [loud] Excuse me won't you, I have to go and kick the shit out of someone. Just one second.
