| Dan Foreman: [picking up another phone to interrupt his daughter's phone conversation with her new boyfriend] Hello, this is Mr. Foreman. If you give my daughter an alcoholic beverage or a joint, I will hunt you down and neuter you. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Carter Duryea: [during a lively board meeting, to a janitor in the back] I'm psyched! You - I don't know your name yet! What's your name?
Hector: I'm Hector... I just work maintenance.
Carter Duryea: Well, Hector,
[shouts]
Carter Duryea: Are you psyched?
Hector: I'm psyched!
Carter Duryea: Well, if Hector's psyched, then,
[shouts]
Carter Duryea: I know I?m psyched! (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Mark Steckle: ...You're being groomed...
Carter Duryea: I'm being groomed! Mark, thank you, thank you. I'm going to kick so much ass for you, I'm going to take no prisoners, I'm going to be your ninja assassin! (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Dan Foreman: Guys, I feel very terrible about what I'm about to say. But I'm afraid your both being let go.
Lou: Let go? What does that mean?
Dan Foreman: It means you're being fired, Louie. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
| Morty: [after learning he's been fired] Dan, what the hell am I gonna tell my wife? I mean she already wears the pants, now she's gonna wear the tie and jacket too. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Carter Duryea: [Alex dims the lights, turns on soft music, and lights incense] Well, it looks like everything is perfect.
Alex Foreman: So why are you still talking? (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Carter Duryea: Dan, you seem to have the perfect marriage. How do you do it?
Dan Foreman: You just pick the right one to be in the foxhole with, and then when you're outside of the foxhole you keep your dick in your pants.
Carter Duryea: That's poetic. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Dan Foreman: [referring to how Morty is handling unemployment] How are you?
Morty: Not so good, not so good. I mean psychologically.
Dan Foreman: I'm sorry.
Morty: That's OK. Anyway, my wife got a promotion. I'm hoping she'll raise my allowance. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Dan Foreman: We made a deal, remember? We made a deal we'd always be honest with one another.
Alex Foreman: Dad, I was like five years old when we made that deal.
Dan Foreman: Yeah, I liked you better then. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Eugene Kalb: Thanks for the Laker tickets.
Dan Foreman: You bet.
Eugene Kalb: Seats were terrific. But I'm still not going to advertise in the magazine. My son-in-law tells me that people don't read much any more. Too much effort moving eyes back and forth. So we're gonna put most of our budget into television, radio, internet.
Dan Foreman: Okay.
Eugene Kalb: Okay? What does that mean?
Dan Foreman: I'm not gonna try to sell you.
Eugene Kalb: Why the hell not? You're a salesman.
Dan Foreman: Yeah. Just not a very good one, that's all.
Eugene Kalb: I'll say.
Dan Foreman: But I am going to ask you one favor.
Eugene Kalb: Oh, yeah?
Dan Foreman: I'm gonna leave you an issue of the magazine and I'm personnally gonna send you a new one every week. Now, I'll call you in a few weeks, and if you want to we'll talk. There's a great article in there comparing today's quarterbacks with Johnny Unitas.
Eugene Kalb: Unitas would kick their butts. So this is your sales pitch?
Dan Foreman: I've been with the magazine for 20 years. I believe in it. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Eugene Kalb: My son-in-law says I'm a dinosaur.
Dan Foreman: Hey, don't knock the dinosaurs. They ruled the earth for millions of years. They must've been going something right. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Carter Duryea: [Carter and Alex meet for the first time in an elevator] 47. Are you going to Sports America offices?
Alex Foreman: Yeah.
Carter Duryea: You an intern or something?
Alex Foreman: Uh, no, my dad works there.
Carter Duryea: Oh.
Alex Foreman: Are you interning there?
Carter Duryea: No, I'm starting a job
[head of the Ad Sales department at 26 years of age]
Carter Duryea: there today.
Alex Foreman: That's good. Congratulations.
Carter Duryea: Oh, thank-you. I'm totally scared shitless. I have no idea what I'm doing. Don't tell anyone, okay?
Alex Foreman: Okay. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Dan Foreman: You're pregnant? Holy crap! Does it feel like a boy?
Ann Foreman: Right now it feels like the stomach flu. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Dan Foreman: [about her being pregnant] Holy crap. Are you sure?
Ann Foreman: Yeah.
Dan Foreman: Does it feel like a boy?
Ann Foreman: Right now, it feels like a stomach flu. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Ann Foreman: [whispers] I'm pregnant
Dan Foreman: What? I'm sorry, I thought you just said that you were pregnant.
Ann Foreman: Yeah.
Dan Foreman: You can't be pregnant.
Ann Foreman: Yeah I can, I am
Dan Foreman: Yeah, how could that happen?
Ann Foreman: Well I think that you were there too. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Dan Foreman: [about her being pregnant] This is fine, this is fine. That means, when he's twenty one, ill be... seventy two.
Ann Foreman: Seventy three.
Dan Foreman: Seventy two.
Ann Foreman: Seventy three.
Dan Foreman: Holy crap. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
| Carter Duryea: [after meeting Dan Foreman, and a prolonged hand shake] That's quite a kung-fu grip you've got there. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Alex Foreman: [laughs while kissing Carter]
Carter Duryea: What?
Alex Foreman: Oh, nothing, I was just thinking about how my dad said he wired this place with video surveillance.
Carter Duryea: Yeah, that's hilarious. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
Carter Duryea: I'm gonna have to let some people go.
Dan Foreman: Why do you say let them go? They don't WANT to go. Why don't you just say fire them?
Carter Duryea: Because it sounds better.
Dan Foreman: Not to the person getting fired it doesn't. (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
[first lines]
Anchorwoman: After months of speculation, analysts expect an announcement this week that GlobeCom International will acquire Waterman Publishing and its flagship magazine, Sports America. The man at the helm of GlobeCom, billionaire media magnate Teddy K., has been on a spending spree recently, acquiring a food service company, a cable operator, and two telecommunications providers in deals totaling more than $13 billion. And how did one lucky ferret owner come to own the largest dog treat manufacturer on the East Coast? (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
[last lines]
Carter Duryea: [on cell phone] Hello. Dan! Hey. Oh, my God. Congratulations. lt's amazing. Do you have a name yet? Oh, no, that's terrific. Uh, probably because l'm jogging. No, l'm outside. Yes. l'm actually jogging outside. Please Playa del Rey. Don't laugh. I'm thinking about getting into... (Movie: In Good Company [2004]) | |
| Commander Paul Eddington: Old Rock of Ages, we've got ourselves another war. A gut bustin', mother-lovin' Navy war. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
| Captain Rockwell Torrey: Paul, you're forcing me to throw my weight at you. Fish, or cut bait. Get on your feet or take your troubles elsewhere. I've got a ship to run. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Captain Rockwell Torrey: If you can hold a razor in that hand, you might shave before you come topside.
Commander Paul Eddington: Aye, aye, Father Torrey. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
[the Cassiday is underway, trying to escape the attack on Pearl Harbor]
Lt. Cline: Captain Harding, sir, and the exec!
Commander Rafe Harding USN, Cassiday's CO: [Standing on the bow of a pursuing motor whaleboat, frantically waving his hat up and down] Cassiday! Stop! Let us aboard!
Lt. Tom Agar: How the hell can we stop? It'll take twenty minutes at this speed!
LTJG 'Mac' McConnel: [Making a decision not to stop] Does anyone on this bridge see anything back there?
Bosun's Mate Chief Culpepper, USS Cassiday: Well, if they do, Mr. McConnell, I'll guarantee you they won't see nothin' again.
Lt. Tom Agar: [Laughing] Let 'er rip, Mac! (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Captain Rockwell Torrey: What is Vicki Marlowe's secret?
Commander Egan Powell: Well, it's not what it says in here. Vicki Marlowe's secret is that she's making a half a million bucks a year and she still collects alimony from me, in my present reduced circumstances. Well, anyway... I have the satisfaction of knowing that all of her pictures have been stinkers since I stopped writing them. Rockwell, my boy, never, I repeat never marry a movie actress.
Captain Rockwell Torrey: You married three of them.
Commander Egan Powell: I know. It was like eating peanuts. Once I started, I couldn't stop. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
| Commander Egan Powell: It's about time you crawled down from Mount Rushmore and took a look around for yourself. You'd be surprised at the changes we've made in the last 100 years. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
| Commander Egan Powell: Man, I tell you, the women - they're smokin' cigarettes, drinkin' whiskey, doin' the shimmy-sham-shimmy, hot damn! (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
| Captain Rockwell Torrey: Well, I'm flying under... false colors, Miss Haynes. I don't know my son. I didn't even know he was in the Navy. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Ensign Jere Torrey: Leaving, sir?
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Yes. Before I pick you up and throw you to the fish. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Captain Rockwell Torrey: He's my son.
Commander Egan Powell: Well! I'd like to meet him, Rock.
Captain Rockwell Torrey: No you wouldn't. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Well, I'm here to see a nurse. What are you here for?
Ensign Jere Torrey: To see a nurse.
Captain Rockwell Torrey: It looks like we have something in common after all.
Ensign Jere Torrey: I'm just a chip off the old block, sir! (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Nurse Lieutenant Maggie Haynes: You run a taut ship.
Captain Rockwell Torrey: He's not a bad looking kid, is he? (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Ever hear the name 'Cunliffe'?
Nurse Lieutenant Maggie Haynes: It's one of those expensive New England names, isn't it? (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
| Admiral Nimitz: Well, we all know the Navy's never wrong. But in this case, it was a little weak on bein' right. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
| Admiral Nimitz: I can't fire him. I can't scramble his whole command over night. It leaves a bad effect on our allies and gives aid and comfort to the enemy. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
| Admiral Nimitz: Indecision is a virus that can run through an army and destroy it's will to win. Or even to survive. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Rear Admiral Rock Torrey: Just how far can I go in dealing with Admiral Broderick, sir?
Admiral Nimitz: Well. Ya can't kill 'im. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Nurse Lieutenant Maggie Haynes: How do admirals feel about nurses?
Rear Admiral Rock Torrey: The same way captains did. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Rear Admiral Rock Torrey: All battles are fought by scared men who'd rather be someplace else.
Commander Egan Powell: Does that include admirals?
Rear Admiral Rock Torrey: Yes. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Get a message off to Pearl. "Have taken two torpedoes." Fill in our position. "Extent of damage unknown. Will advise."
Commander Burke: And break radio silence, sir?
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Burke, don't you think the Japanese know by now where we are? (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Admiral Kimmel: It is my duty to inform you that you have been relieved of your command, pending the findings of a court of inquiry.
Captain Torrey: I don't understand, sir.
Admiral Kimmel: You weren't zig-zagging when you took the two torpedoes.
Captain Torrey: I was stretching my fuel, sir.
Admiral Kimmel: If you didn't have fuel to complete your mission, why didn't you turn back for Pearl?
Captain Torrey: My mission was to intercept and engage an enemy of greatly superior strength, sir. I could only take that one way: that my group was expendable.
Admiral Kimmel: I doubt if a court of inquiry will accept that. Captain, you're about to be caught in a vacuum between a peacetime Navy and a wartime Navy. Six months from now, they'll be making admirals out of captains who exhibit some guts. But right now, they're only reacting to the Pearl Harbor disaster, and punishment is order-of-the-day. Of course, you don't have to abide by what a court of inquiry decides. You can ask for general court-martial, get yourself a couple of crack sea lawyers, and make a fight of it.
Captain Torrey: I wouldn't care to do that, sir.
Admiral Kimmel: Why not?
Captain Torrey: Second-generation Navy, Admiral.
Admiral Kimmel: I see. I don't plan to ask for court-martial either, Captain, and I've lost a fleet. So I expect we'll both just take what they give us, and trust it will be a useful job somewhere.
Captain Torrey: Yes, sir.
Admiral Kimmel: Good luck.
Captain Torrey: Good luck to you, sir. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
[Torrey is receiving a damage control report after being torpedoed]
Captain Rock Torrey: Full report.
Ensign Griggs: Well, we've halted the fires up forward where we took the first torpedo, sir, and we've stopped the flow of water at Hatch 26. Commander Eddington says to tell the Old Man that - I'm sorry, sir, the Captain, sir - that he'd better start thinking about a tow. May I also say, sir, that Commander Eddington is hell on wheels, sir. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Col. Gregory: Sir, I can't put up all of my men unless we get at least five more transports.
Rear Admiral Rock Torrey: Well, aren't there any more R4D's on Tulabonne?
Col. Gregory: Yes, but they're held in reserve.
Captain Paul Eddington: Reserve! What... for?
Col. Gregory: That's the way Admiral Broderick has things organized.
Captain Paul Eddington: What happens if an R4D conks out?
Col. Gregory: Tulabonne sends us a spare until we get it fixed.
Captain Paul Eddington: Five of 'em just conked out, Gregg.
Commander Egan Powell: Let's relay the sad news to Broderick!
Rear Admiral Rock Torrey: Mr. Canfil, you seem to have fallen in among thieves!
Clayton Canfil, Australian Coastwatcher: It does seem so, Admiral, I'm very happy to say! (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
[Powell has just discovered that Eddington has flown off on a suicide mission]
Commander Egan Powell: You mean you just gave him a plane without checking with Operations?
Sailor: Sir, Captain Eddington is Chief of Staff; sir, he *is* Operations. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Captain Paul Eddington: Lieutenant, I don't know the situation between you and your father, but let me tell you this: Bums like your friend Owynn are with us always, like bad weather. But sailors like your old man only happen once in a while
Ensign Jere Torrey: I'm afraid I cannot accept your evaluation of Commander Owynn.
Captain Paul Eddington: Well , I'm afraid I cannot accept you as Rock Torrey's son. I think somebody got in there ahead of him.
Ensign Jere Torrey: Now wait a minute, Eddington!
Captain Paul Eddington: *Captain* Eddington. Yes? (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Commander Egan Powell: Gottlieb! Tuthill!
[as Gottlieb and Tuthill leave the washroom, Powell takes out a quarter, tosses it, and covers it on his arm]
Captain Paul Eddington: Heads.
Commander Egan Powell: [uncovers the quarter and inspects it, laughing] Good-bye, Commander! Enjoy it!
[Exit]
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: Now what do you suppose he meant by that?
Captain Paul Eddington: Well, aren't you going with Broderick?
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: Why, no, I...
Captain Paul Eddington: I think you are.
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: Now wait a m...
Captain Paul Eddington: [slaps Owynne backhanded] Now I don't care how you do it, but you'd better be on that plane with Broderick - unless you want to be buried on the island of Gavabutu.
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: You can't do that to m...
Captain Paul Eddington: [forehand slap] I *am* doing it. We've got a job here, and neither you nor Broderick nor anybody else is going to screw it up. Understand?
[Another forehand slap]
Captain Paul Eddington: Hmm? And take this punk with you.
[Exit]
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: I'll have him court-martialled - striking a fellow officer. And you saw it! I didn't hit him back.
[looks at his cut lip in a hand mirror]
Ensign Jere Torrey: I didn't see anything!
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: What do you mean, you didn't see anything?
Ensign Jere Torrey: As far as I'm concerned, a coconut fell through the roof and hit you in the mouth. So you better figure out some excuse to get us on that plane with Broderick.
Cmdr. Neal Owynn: How'd you like to be transferred back to PT Boats, fella? 'Cause one word from me to Broderick and you're on your way!
Ensign Jere Torrey: Say the word!
[exit, leaving Owynne to look at his cut lip again] (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
U.S. Army Air Corps Major, Liz Eddington's Lover: [searching the skies with a hand over his eyes; spots the first six planes] My God, they're Japs.
Liz Eddington: What?
U.S. Army Air Corps Major, Liz Eddington's Lover: They're Japs... MY GOD, THEY'RE JAPS!
[Exeunt, hastily, getting strafed all the way] (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
| Bosun's Mate Chief Culpepper, USS Cassiday: Mister McConnell, no tellin' when we might ship together again, and, well, me and the boys all took a vote, and we voted you the best officer to be marooned on a desert island with! (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
[the Cassiday has just sunk the Japanese sub that torpedoed Torrey's cruiser]
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Nice work, Harding! You did a 4-0 job on that sub!
LTJG 'Mac' McConnel: Thank you, sir, I'm not Commander Harding, sir.
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Well, where is he?
LTJG 'Mac' McConnel: Ashore, sir!
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Well, who's in command?
LTJG 'Mac' McConnel: I am, sir! Lt. j.g. McConnell, sir!
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Did I hear Lieutenant junior grade?
LTJG 'Mac' McConnel: William McConnell; Class of '38, sir!
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Oh. Well, can you rig for towing?
LTJG 'Mac' McConnel: Can do, sir!
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Can you pass some portable pumps to us?
LTJG 'Mac' McConnel: Can do, sir!
Captain Rockwell Torrey: Carry on, Mister! (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Clayton Canfil, Australian Coastwatcher: There's a way to find out what the Japs are up to; but I'll have to do it myself. I used to run a plantation on Gavabutu; I know that island like the back of my hand. Have one of your subs put me ashore there and in two weeks, I'll be able to tell you just what our little yellow brothers are up to.
Rear Admiral Rock Torrey: All right, Mr. Canfil; but be careful, we can't afford to lose you.
Clayton Canfil, Australian Coastwatcher: [Grinning] I'm not planning on getting lost, Admiral. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
| Admiral Nimitz: Now, Grant didn't give a damn about organization, but neither was he afflicted with the virus. Admiral Torrey, you're going to be my Grant! (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Captain Rockwell Torrey: A fast ship going in harm's way - a lousy situation, Commander Eddington.
Commander Paul Eddington: Lousy! (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Nurse Lieutenant Maggie Haynes: Oh, he had his chances to ask me. Ten days' worth of chances, that's enough. He didn't call me, so I called him.
Annalee: How did you have the nerve?
Nurse Lieutenant Maggie Haynes: Annalee dear, past a certain age, men are apt to avoid making sudden moves where women are concerned. The women have to do the sudden moving, or else everybody stands still until it's too late. It gets late fast in these times. I like this man, and I want him to know it - now.
Annalee: Suppose he and Jere bump into each other? Jere's very funny about his father.
Nurse Lieutenant Maggie Haynes: Oh, let 'em bump. I'd be interested to see what happens. (Movie: In Harm's Way [1965]) | |
Hunter: Was that you shooting?
Leary: Yes.
Hunter: That's a cool gun you got there. Could I see it?
[Leary gives him the gun]
Hunter: Shit, that's light! What's it made of?
Leary: Composite. Like plastic.
Hunter: Mind if I give it a little dance?
[Leary shrugs. The hunter shoots a duck]
Hunter: That is great! That is really really great! You wouldn't want to sell it would you?
Leary: No, I need it.
Hunter: For what?
Leary: To assassinate the president.
[Hunters laugh]
Hunter: Now what do you want to do that for, mister?
Leary: Why'd you kill that bird, asshole?
[proceeds to nonchalantly kill both of the hunters with his gun] (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Leary: The irony is so thick you could choke on it.
Horrigan: There's no fuckin' irony.
Leary: Think about it Frank. The same government that trained me to kill trained you to protect. And now you're trying to kill me while up on that rooftop I protected you. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Sam Campagna: Frank, The President sent his limo for you.
Lilly Raines: Well, that's the least he could do.
Frank Horrigan: Good, I love public transportation. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Mitch Leary: I have a rendezvous with death, and so does the President, and so do you if you get too close.
Frank Horrigan: You have a rendezvous with my ass, motherfucker! (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Al D'Andrea: I don't know, maybe I'm... maybe I'm just wrong for the job.
Frank Horrigan: You're a good man, Al. You'll make a good agent.
Al D'Andrea: How do you know? This is the longest conversation we've ever had.
Frank Horrigan: I know things about people. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
[Leary makes the first of a series of taunting phone calls]
Frank Horrigan: McCrawley?
Mitch Leary: Why not call me Booth?
Frank Horrigan: Why not Oswald?
Mitch Leary: Because Booth had flair, panache - a leap to the stage after he shot Lincoln. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Mitch Leary: What's kept you in the game all these years?
Frank Horrigan: Why don't we get together and have a drink? We could talk about that.
Mitch Leary: Oh, I'd love to, but I think the less you know about me the better.
Frank Horrigan: Oh, why?
Mitch Leary: Because I'm planning to kill the President.
Frank Horrigan: Oh, now you shouldn't have gone and said that. It's a federal offense to threaten the President. You could go to jail, even if you don't mean it.
Mitch Leary: I mean it all right. John F. Kennedy said all someone needs is a willingness to trade his life for the President's, right?
Frank Horrigan: That's right.
Mitch Leary: I'm willing. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Lilly Raines: What makes you think he'll call again?
Frank Horrigan: Oh, he'll call again. He's got, uh, "panache."
Lilly Raines: Panache?
Frank Horrigan: Yeah, it means flamboyance.
Lilly Raines: Mm, I know what it means.
Frank Horrigan: Really? I had to look it up. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
| Mitch Leary: What did happen to you that day? Only one agent reacted to the gunfire, and you were closer to Kennedy than he was. You must have looked up at the window of the Texas Book Depository, but you didn't react. Late at night, when the demons come, do you see the rifle coming out of that window, or do you see Kennedy's head being blown apart? If you'd reacted to that first shot, could you have gotten there in time to stop the big bullet? And if you had - that could've been your head being blown apart. Do you wish you'd succeeded, Frank? Or is life too precious? (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
[Lilly's wearing an evening dress]
Lilly Raines: What are you looking at?
Frank Horrigan: I was just wondering where you hide your firearm. Don't tell me, let me guess. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Frank Horrigan: I've never worked with a female agent before. How many are there?
Lilly Raines: About 125.
Frank Horrigan: Mm. Pure window dressing.
Lilly Raines: Excuse me?
Frank Horrigan: Window dressing. About 125 out of a little over 2,000. They have you all around so that the President can look good to his feminist voters.
Lilly Raines: Do you make an effort to be obnoxious, or is it a gift?
Frank Horrigan: It's a gift. Let's face it, half the things we do are window dressing. Take running alongside that limousine: it'd take an anti-tank missile to put a dent in that damn thing. There we are, out for show, trying to make the President look more presidential. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Frank Horrigan: How's the First Lady? She ask about me?
Lilly Raines: Have you gotten to know them yet?
Frank Horrigan: Well, I normally prefer not to get to know the people I'm protecting.
Lilly Raines: Oh, yeah? Why's that?
Frank Horrigan: Well, you never know. You might decide they're not worth taking a bullet for. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Frank Horrigan: So you had an affair with an agent, and it came out badly.
Lilly Raines: He wasn't an agent.
Frank Horrigan: But he left you because you wouldn't quit your job. You were broken-hearted.
Lilly Raines: I left him, Frank, because I wouldn't quit my job for him. And it did break my heart.
Frank Horrigan: You vowed never again to ever let a man come between you and your career.
Lilly Raines: No...
Frank Horrigan: Except... now you're in love with me, and it screws your little head up.
Lilly Raines: Frank, blow your nose. Here.
Frank Horrigan: Sorry. What were to happen if I, uh, gave up my job for you?
Lilly Raines: Why would you do that?
Frank Horrigan: Well, maybe I vowed to never again let my career come between me and a woman. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Frank Horrigan: [Leary is hanging from an elevator alongside a hotel building. Horrigan offers his hand to him] Take my hand. If you don't, you'll die.
Mitch Leary: [smiling] Do you want to save me, Frank?
Frank Horrigan: To be frank and honest with you, no. But it's my job. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Mitch Leary: Watching the President, I - I couldn't help wondering why a man like you would risk his life to save a man like that. You have such a strange job - I can't decide if it's heroic or absurd.
Frank Horrigan: Now, why would a man like you want to risk his life to kill a man like that?
Mitch Leary: Don't you have a psychological profile on me yet?
Frank Horrigan: I don't put a lot of stock in them.
Mitch Leary: Nor do I. A man's actions don't equal the sum of his psychological parts. Doesn't work that way.
Frank Horrigan: Just how does it work?
Mitch Leary: It doesn't work, Frank. God doesn't punish the wicked and reward the righteous. Everyone dies. Some die because they deserve to; others die simply because they come from Minneapolis. It's random and it's meaningless.
Frank Horrigan: Well, if none of this means anything... why kill the President?
Mitch Leary: To punctuate the dreariness. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Mitch Leary: There's no cause left worth fighting for, Frank. All we have is the game. I'm on offense, you're on defense.
Frank Horrigan: Well, when do we start playing the game?
Mitch Leary: The clock's ticking, Frank. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Al D'Andrea: You okay?
Frank Horrigan: No, I'm not okay. I'm sick, I'm tired, and I'm armed too, so be careful.
Al D'Andrea: You're also maybe a genius.
Frank Horrigan: Huh - not to be recognized in this lifetime. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Frank Horrigan: What do you know about the guy?
Walter Wickland: Well, d'you see this wheelchair? Mitch bought it for me. Cost over $1,000. See this?
[holds up gun]
Al D'Andrea: Whoa, whoa, take it easy now...
Walter Wickland: This is in case he ever comes back. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Frank Horrigan: I know who you are - Leary.
Mitch Leary: I'm glad, Frank. Friends should be able to call each other by name.
Frank Horrigan: We're not friends.
Mitch Leary: Sure we are.
Frank Horrigan: I've seen what you do to friends.
Mitch Leary: What's that supposed to mean?
Frank Horrigan: You slit your friend's throat.
Mitch Leary: You talked to Coppinger, Frank?
Frank Horrigan: Yeah, that's right.
Mitch Leary: Did you delouse? The man's a professional liar.
Frank Horrigan: I saw the photos.
Mitch Leary: No, you saw what he wanted you to see, Frank.
Frank Horrigan: I saw a picture of, uh, your friend lying on the floor with his throat cut.
Mitch Leary: What you didn't see, Frank, what you couldn't possibly know, is: they sent my best friend - my comrade in arms - to my home to kill me! (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Frank Horrigan: What to do you see when you're in the dark, and the demons come?
Mitch Leary: I see you, Frank. I see you standing over the grave of another dead president.
Frank Horrigan: That's not going to happen. I'm onto you.
Mitch Leary: Forget it, Frank. I am willing to trade my life for his. I am smart, and I am willing, and that is all it takes. That president is coming home from California in a box.
Frank Horrigan: Where in California?
Mitch Leary: Uh, the address? Come on, Frank. I'll keep you in the game, but I'm not going to throw it for you. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Frank Horrigan: The number of that San Diego office?
Agent Chavez: Uh, 619-UKELELE.
Frank Horrigan: Ukulele?
Agent Chavez: That's how I remember it, you know, 7 numbers, 7 letters? You just push U-K-E-L-E-L-E. Easy.
Frank Horrigan: Uh, wait a minute, isn't "ukulele" spelled U-K-U-?
Agent Chavez: I dunno... but the phone number's U-K-E-L-E-L-E. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
[Frank watches Lilly leave from the Lincoln Memorial]
Frank Horrigan: If she looks back, it means she's interested. Come on, give me a look back now. Just give me that smug expression and be on your way.
[Lilly looks back]
Frank Horrigan: Well, Abe? Damn... wish I could have been there for you, pal. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Mitch Leary: [speaking to Horrigan on the phone] Do you know how easily I could kill you, Frank? Do you know how many times I watched you go in and out of that apartment? You are still alive because I have allowed you to live so you show me some GODDAMN RESPECT!
[slams phone down] (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
Mitch Leary: Frank, you of all people, I want you to understand because we both USED to think this country was a very special place...
Frank Horrigan: You don't know what I used to think!
Mitch Leary: Oh, but you know about me? Do you have any idea what I've done for God and country? Some pretty FUCKING HORRIBLE things! I don't even remember who I was before they sunk their claws into me!
Frank Horrigan: They made you into a real monster, right?
Mitch Leary: That's right and now they want to destroy me because we can't have monsters roaming the quiet countryside, now can we? (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
[On the phone]
Mitch Leary: Trying to trace me, Frank?
Frank Horrigan: Heh, now why didn't I think of that?
Mitch Leary: You did, or you're not the adversary I'd hoped for. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
[in the elevator]
Frank Horrigan: Ok, now what?
Mitch Leary: Do you believe in the nobility of suicide?
Frank Horrigan: No. But if you wanna blow your goddamn head off, go ahead, be my guest.
Mitch Leary: Nicely put, Frank, but I don't want to leave this miserable world alone. (Movie: In the Line of Fire [1993]) | |
