Hume Cronyn Quotes

Justice Rosenberg Any of those signs got my name on em?

Gray Grantham Quite a few.

Justice Rosenberg What do they say?

Gray Grantham The usual: Death to Rosenberg, Retire Rosenberg, Cut off the oxygen.

Justice Rosenberg That's my favorite. Of course you, Mr Grantham, did pretty good by me your last time out: Rosenberg equals the government over business, the individual over government, the environment over everything. And the Indians? Oh, give em whatever they want.

Gray Grantham Well with all due respects sir, that wasn't my line, that was a quote.

Justice Rosenberg From one of your unnamed senior White House officials; senior White House son of a bitch I should have said, who got in there by stirring up these people, one against the other. It never fails to amaze me what a man will do to get into the Oval Office.

Joe Finley I'm so tired.

Alma Finley Then go ahead and rest, dear.

Art Selwyn Beautiful beach, a sunny day and good friends. What more can a man ask for?

Joe Finley Can I have some of that please?

Bernard Lefkowitz I'm a citizen. I believe in this country. In 1945, Dutch Scholtz walked into my store and he said...

Joseph Finley Bernie, if you don't wanna do this for Rosie and you don't wanna do this for yourself, that's fine, that's your business, but if you screw this up for the rest of us...

Bernard Lefkowitz Don't threaten me, Joe, I don't need any of your threats. We're not doing it and that's final!

Ben Luckett Anyone having second thoughts?

Art Selwyn I'm a citizen too. I was in the navy. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Ben Luckett Then you drive. I got no license.

Ben Luckett So you went to the doctor, what did he say?

Joseph Finley Oh, it's a breeze. Everything is fine.

Ben Luckett Hey, wait a minute. This is ME you're talking to. Now you went to the Goddamn doctor. What did he say?

Joseph Finley Doctor's don't know everything.

Ben Luckett Well, there is the one school of thought that says they don't know nothing.

Art Selwyn Oh, I'm in the mood for love.

Ben Luckett Will you listen to this guy? He'll be chasing them dolls til his dick runs off.

Art Selwyn Oh, I'm too old for that sort of thing.

Joseph Finley Age isn't everything.

Art Selwyn Nope.

Joseph Finley Anyway it's all up here.

Ben Luckett Not all up here, pal. Some of it's down here, which I might add is stiff as a board.

Art Selwyn You too? You got a boner too?

Ben Luckett Blue steel. Cat couldn't scratch it.

Joseph Finley I thought I was the only one.

Art Selwyn We're in the mood for love, simply because we've got one.

Joseph Finley They say if we go with them, we'll live forever. And that's good. It's probably going to take you an eternity to forgive me... Alma, I'm sorry. I guess I was being ridiculous. I'm sorry. I love you. You're my whole life. I wanna go. But if it's a choice of only six more months here with you or living forever all by myself, well I'll take the six more months here with you. I don't want to live forever if you're not going to be with me.

Art Selwyn How'd you guys sleep?

Joe Finley Alma didn't sleep a wink.

Art Selwyn You're kidding.

Joe Finley No. Neither did I.

Art Selwyn You dog!

Bill Rintels When I agreed to take you back in January I made two suggestions. One was about your drinking. Well, you seem to have licked that. The other was that you curb your talent for creative irresponsibility: you can start working on that right now.

Joseph Finley You think there's cocaine in that pool?

Ben Luckett Might be.

Joseph Finley What if we O.D.?

Ben Luckett We'll keep an eye on each other. I'll watch him.

Ben Luckett You watch him.

Ben Luckett You watch me.

Art Selwyn Perfect.

Art Selwyn Club house is closed, Gentlemen.

Joseph Finley Maybe they could give us permission to use the pool. We could pay them something.

Art Selwyn It wouldn't be fun if we had permission.

Joseph Finley I feel great.

Ben Luckett You wouldn't bullshit me?

Joseph Finley My God, I'm telling the truth!

Art Selwyn Why shouldn't he feel good? I feel tremendous! I'm ready to take on the world!

Bill Rintels We're in the business of reporting the news, not creating it.

Bill Rintels You're enjoying yourself, aren't you?

Joseph Frady You gotta admit, it's funny.

Bill Rintels It makes me laugh, but I don't think it's funny.

Joseph Frady What's that supposed to mean?

Bill Rintels Have you ever laughed at a comedian when he pretended to stutter? There's nothing funny about a man who stutters, but people laugh. They're amused. But they're not happy about it.
