Harvey Keitel Quotes

Seth Gecko So, what's the story with you two, you a couple of fags?

Jacob Fuller He's my son.

Seth How's that happen? You don't look Japanese.

Jacob Neither does he. He looks Chinese.

Seth Oh. Well, excuse me all to hell.

Seth Gecko Died right away?

Jacob Fuller Not quite. She was trapped in the wreck for about six hours before she passed on.

Seth Yeah, those acts of God really stick it in and break it off, don't they?

Jacob Yes, they do.

Jacob Fuller Every person who... chooses the service of God as his life's work has something in common. I don't care if you're a preacher, a priest, a nun, a rabbi or a Buddhist monk. Many, many times during your life you will look at your reflection in a mirror and ask yourself: am I a fool? I'm not going through a lapse; what I've experienced is closer to awakening.

Jerry Bartowski Credit's the only thing you can get free from the company. Got a house, fridge, dishwasher, washer-dryer, TV, stereo, motorcycle, car..."buy this shit, buy that shit." All you got's a buncha shit.

Jacob Fuller I'll be a lap dog of Satan.

Ray Donlan See officer, in Garrison, when the car you're gonna tag has got a PDA sticker, I'd advise you to think to yourself, "Hey, that's one of the good guys. I think I'll go catch me a bad guy.

Cindy Betts If we didn't pull over P.D., there wouldn't be any violations in this town.

The Wolf Okay, first thing. You two, take the body, stick it in the trunk. Now, Jimmie, this looks to be a pretty domesticated house. That would lead me to believe that in the garage or under the sink, you've got a bunch of cleaners and cleansers and shit like that?

Jimmie Yeah, yeah, Mr. Wolfe, under the sink.

The Wolf Good. What I need you two fellas to do is take those cleaning products and clean the inside of the car. I'm talking fast, fast, fast. You need to go in the back seat, scoop up all those little pieces of brain and skull, get it out of there, wipe down the upholstery. Now, when it comes to upholstery, it don't need to be spic-and-span. You don't need to eat off it, just give it a good once-over. What you need to take care of are the really messy parts. The pools of blood that have collected, you got to soak that shit up. Now, Jimmie, we need to raid your linen closet. I need blankets, I need comforters, I need quilts, I need bedspreads. The thicker the better, the darker the better. No whites, can't use em. We need to camouflage the interior of the car. We're going to line the front seat and the back seat and the floorboards with quilts and blankets. So, if a cop stops us and starts sticking his big snout in the car, the subterfuge won't last, but at a glance, the car will appear to be normal. Jimmie, lead the way. Boys, get to work.

Vincent Please" would be nice.

The Wolf Come again?

Vincent I said a "please" would be nice.

The Wolf Get it straight, Buster. I'm not here to say "please". I'm here to tell you what to do. And if self-preservation is an instinct you possess, you better fucking do it and do it quick. I'm here to help. If my help's not appreciated, lots of luck, gentlemen.

Jules No, no, no, Mr. Wolfe, it ain't like that. Your help is definitely appreciated.

Vincent Mr. Wolfe, listen. I don't mean disrespect, okay? I respect you. I just don't like people barking orders at me, that's all.

The Wolf If I'm curt with you, it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast, and I need you guys to act fast if you want to get out of this. So pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the fucking car.

Vincent Don't give me that look, alright? I can feel your look.

Jesus I wish there was another way, but there isn't. I have to die on the cross.

Judas I won't let you die.

Jesus You don't have a choice. Neither do I. Remember, we're bringing God and man together. They'll never be together unless I die. I'm the sacrifice... Forget everything else, understand that.

George Baines Do you know how to bargain, nod if you do. There's a way you can have your piano back. Do you want it back? You want it back?You see I'd like us to make a deal. There's things I want to do while you stay. If you let me you can earn it back. What do you think, one visit for every key.

Saul You had orders to kill him and you haven't done it. Now he acts like a prophet, and you follow him!

Judas Did you hear what he said back there?

Saul Yes I heard him. We took an oath against Rome. I don't see a thing against Rome around here, all I see are Jews against Jews.

Judas Then you're not listening.

Ray Donlan What brings you to our fair city?

Moe Tilden I heard there was a way of life out here. Thought I'd check it out for myself.

Ray Donlan What are we, like the Amish now?

Joey Randone What the fuck, Ray? You said PDA was gonna set this guy up, with a new life and everything.

Ray Donlan You think I'm all that, huh, Joey?

George Baines Ada, I am unhappy because I want you, because my mind has seized on you and thinks of nothing else. This is how I suffer, I am sick with longing. I don't eat, I don't sleep. If you do not want me, if you have come with no feeling for me, then go! Go! Go NOW! Leave!

Ray Donlan You know the difference between men and boys? Boys bet everything on everything! Boys think every hand is a royal flush! You play cards with a man, he knows his limits.

Judas How will you ever pay for your sins?

Jesus With my life, Judas. With my life. I don't have anything else.

SS-Oberscharfuhrer Eric Muhsfeldt I've seen them strike the ones that are slow getting in (the gas chamber). They steal, lie to each other. I never fully despised the Jews until I experienced how easily they could be persuaded to do the work here. To do it so well. And to their own people! They'll be dead by week's end, every soul. And we'll replace them with others no different. Do you know how easy that will be?

The Wolf Okay, gentlemen, let's get our rules of the road straight: We're goin to a place called Monster Joe's Truck and Tow. Now, Monster Joe and his daughter Raquel are sympathetic to our dilemma. The place is North Hollywood, so a few twists and turns aside, we'll be goin up Hollywood Way. Now, I'll drive the tainted car. Jules, you ride with me. Vincent, you follow in my Acura. Now, if we come across the path of any John Q. Laws, nobody does a fuckin thing til I do something, all right? What did I say?

Jules Don't do shit, unless.

The Wolf Unless what?

Jules Unless you do it first.

The Wolf Spoken like a true prodigy. How about you, ]? Can you keep your spurs from jinglin and janglin'?

Vincent Mr. Wolfe, look, the gun went off, I don't know why. I'm cool, I promise you.

The Wolf Fair enough. Now, I drive real fuckin fast, so keep up. If I get my car back any different than I gave it, Monster Joe's gonna be disposing of two bodies.

Freddy Heflin How do you think this makes me look.

Ray Donlan Go home and don't think so much.

Peter Don't you have any respect?

Judas For him?

Jesus You don't understand...

Judas Understand?... You broke my heart. Sometimes I curse the day I ever met you! We held the world in our hands. Remember what you told me? You took me in your arms, do you remember? And you begged me, "Betray me, betray me. I have to be crucified, I have to be resurrected so I can save the world. I am the lamb," you said. "Death is the door. Judas, my brother, don't be afraid. Help me go through the door." And I loved you so much, I went and betrayed you. And you... you... What are you doing here? What business do you have here, with women, with children? What's good for men isn't good for God! Why weren't you crucified?

Peter Look at his wounds, Judas, they're bleeding. You're hurting him. That's enough.

Judas He was going to be the New Covenant. Now there's no more Israel.

Jesus No, you don't understand... The guardian angel... God sent a guardian angel to save me.

Judas Angel? What angel? Look at her. Satan.

Satan I told you we would meet again.

The Wolf How we coming, Jimmie?

Jimmie Uh, pretty good, I got-I got it all here, but, uh...Mr. Wolfe, you gotta understand something--

The Wolf Winston, Jimmy, please, Winston.

Jimmie Okay. You gotta understand something, uh, Winston--'--oh no, thank you--this is our best linen here, and it's a, it was a wedding present from my Uncle Conrad and Aunt Jenny, and they're not with us any more, and I really want to help you guys out--

The Wolf Let me ask you a question, Jimmie. If you don't mind?

Jimmie Oh, no, no, please do.

The Wolf Your Uncle...Conrad? And Aunt Jenny...were they millionaires?

Jimmie No.

The Wolf Well, your Uncle Marcellus is. And I'm positive that if Uncle Conrad and Aunt...

Jimmie Jenny.

The Wolf ...Jenny were here, they would furnish you with a whole bedroom set. Which your Uncle Marcellus is more than happy to do.

The Wolf I like oak, myself. That's what I have in my bedroom. How about you, Jimmie? You an oak man?

Jimmie Oak's nice.

Smokey James Why do you go to the line every Friday?

Jerry Bartowski Well ...

Smokey James Because the finance man's gonna be at your house on Saturday, right? That's exactly what the company wants - to keep you on their line. They'll do anything to keep you on their line. They pit the lifers against the new boys, the old against the young, the black against the white - ANYTHING to keep us in our place.

Gary Figgis Don't shut me out, Ray! You found us a sweet little town. You got us the low interest, and I'm grateful. But don't forget who it was that you came to two years ago to cover your ass.

Ray Donlan Get him outta here Freddy.

Freddy Heflin Come on...

Gary Figgis It's not my fault that you can't look at him! You sit in this chair with your back to im. You want it to go away, but I'm still here. In for a penny, in for a pound. Don't shut me out, Ray.

Jesus Judas, my brother, I have something to tell you. I have a terrible secret from God. You know why I came to Jerusalem?

Judas Yes. This is where the revolution is going to begin.

Jesus Last night, Isaiah came to me. He had a prophecy. I saw it written. It said, "He has borne our faults; he was wounded for our transgressions, yet he opened now his mouth. Despised and rejected by all, he went forward without resisting, like a lamb led to the slaughter.

Judas I don't understand.

Jesus Judas, I am the lamb. I'm the one who's going to do.

Judas Die? You mean you're not the Messiah?

Jesus I am.

Judas That can't be. If you're the Messiah, why do you have to die?

Jesus Listen, at first, I didn't understand myself...

Judas No, you listen. Every day, you have a different plan. First it's love, then the ax, and now you have to die. What good could that do?

Jesus God only talks to me a little at a time and tells me as much as I need to know.

Judas We need you alive!

Jesus Now I finally understand! All my life-all my life, I've been followed by voices, by footsteps, by shadows. And do you know what that shadow is? The cross. I have to die on the cross, and I have to die willingly. We have to go back to the temple.

Judas And after you die on the cross, what happens then?

Jesus I come back to judge the living and the dead.

Jimmie I can't believe this is the same car.

The Wolf Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet.

Ray Donlan Freddie, I invited men - cops - good men - to live in this town. And these men make a living - they cross that bridge every day to a place where everything is upside down. Where the cop is the perp, and the perp is the victim. The only thing they did was get their families out, before it got to them. We made a place where things make sense, where you can cross the street without fear. Now you come to me with a plan, to set things right. Everyone in the city holding hands, singing "We Are the World." That's very nice, but Freddie, your plan is the plan of a boy! You read it on the back of a matchbox, without thinking! Without looking at the cards.

George Baines I have given the piano back to you. I've had enough. The arrangement is making you a whore, and me, wretched. I want you to care for me. But you can't. It's yours, leave. Go on, go.
