Simon Pegg Quotes

Shaun (after Ed gives him a beer) Thanks Babe.

Nicholas Angel Sergeant Butterman, the little hand says it's time to rock and roll.

Andrew Knightley You've had enough!

Gary King This is The World's End, man!

Andrew Knightley I know!

Gary King Leave me alone, what do you care, anyway?!

Andrew Knightley Of course I fucking care! There is a reason I'm angry at you!

Gary King I know why you're angry at me, okay, but it's not my fault that you crashed that car!

Andrew Knightley That's not the point! You let me down, man. You were Gary King. Gary fucking King! I would have followed you to the end! I fucking have!

Gary King Well then stop following me! It's just one more! Let me have this! You've got everything you want!

Andrew Knightley What are you talking about?!

Gary King You've got your perfect job and your perfect house and your perfect wife!

Andrew Knightley You think it's so perfect?! She left me, Gary. She took the kids to her mum's three weeks ago. Said I'm not present enough. I am trying to win her back- God knows I am losing- but I will continue to fight, because that is how we survive! For fuck's sake, Gary, I just punched my wedding ring out of a robot's tummy!

Gary King Exactly! You, you fight for what's important!

Andrew Knightley And what is so important about the Golden Mile?!

Gary King IT'S ALL I'VE GOT!

Andrew Knightley And this is?!

Gary King They told me when to go to bed! ME!

Andrew Knightley Gary, mate... How can you tell when you're drunk if you're never sober?

Gary King I don't want to be sober! It never got better than that night! That was supposed to be the beginning of my life! All that promise and fucking optimism... That feeling like we could take on the whole universe! It was all a big lie. Nothing happened.

Andrew Knightley You don't need to do this, Gary.

Gary King Yeah, I do.

Shaun Come and get it! It's a running buffet! All you can eat!

Gary King To "err" is human, so errrr...

Shaun As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "i" in meat pie. Meat is the anagram of team... I don't know what he's talking about.

Shaun GET FUCKED, FOUR-EYES!

Gary King There's only one Gary King!

Nicholas Angel I won't argue that it wasn't a no-holds-barred adrenaline-fuelled thrill-ride, but there's no way that you could perpetrate that amount of carnage and mayhem and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork.

Nicholas Angel This shit just got real!

Luther What the hell is Davian doing at the Vatican?

Benji Uh, it's all got to do with "the Rabbit's Foot".

Ethan Rabbit's Foot?

Benji Yeah, well, I'm assuming it's like code-word for something he's going to sell to an unspecified buyer for 850 million dollars, by the way. Or maybe it's not a code-word, maybe it's just a really, really expensive bunny appendage.

Ethan You have no idea what it is?

Benji It's interesting - I used to have this professor at Oxford, okay? Doctor Wickham, his name was and he was, like, this massive fat guy, you know? Huge, big guy. We used to call him - you know, well, I won't tell you what we used to call him. He taught biomolecular kinetics and cellular dynamics. And he used to sort of scare the underclassmen with this story about how the world would eventually be eviscerated by technology. You see, it was inevitable that a-a-a compound would be created which he referred to as the Anti-God'. It was like an accelerated mutator or sort of, you know, like a, a, an unstoppable force of destructive power, that would just lay waste to everything - to buildings and parks and streets and children and ice cream parlors, you know? So whenever I see, like, a rogue organization willing to spend this amount of money on a mystery tech, I always assume... it's the Anti-God. End-of-the-world kinda stuff, you know? But no, I don't have any idea what it is. I was just speculating.

Benji Dunn You remember I told you one day, you were gonna take things too far? This is me speaking, by the way, it's not him.

Shaun Okay, John. It's time at the bar!

Gary King Ever had one of those nights that starts out like any other, but ends up being the best night of your life? It was June the 22nd, 1990: our final day of school. There was Oliver Chamberlain, Peter Page, Steven Prince, Andy Knightley, and me. They called me the King...because...my name's Gary King! Ollie was funny, he fancied himself as a bit of player, but really, he was all mouth. We called him "O-Man" because he had a birthmark on his forehead that looked like a 6. Haha He loved it! Pete was the baby of the group. He wasn't the kind of kid we'd usually hang out with, but, he was good for a laugh...and he was absolutely minted! Steve was a pretty cool guy. We jammed together, chased the girls... I think he saw us as rivals! Hmph! Sweet, really. And Andy... Andy was my wingman, the one guy I could rely on to back me up. He loved me, and... I'm not being funny, but, I loved him too. There was nothing we were gonna miss about school! Maybe Mr Shepherd, he was definitely one of the good guys. He used to ask me what I wanted to do with my life. I told him “I just wanted to have a good time”. He thought that was funny. It wasn't meant to be funny - not that night! Newton Haven was our hometown, our playground, our universe. And that night, it was the site of a heroic quest. The aim? To conquer the Golden Mile, twelve pubs along a legendary path of alcoholic indulgence. There was The First Post, The Old Familiar, The Famous Cock, The Cross Hands, The Good Companions, The Trusty Servant, The Two-Headed Dog, The Mermaid, The Beehive, The King's Head, The Hole in the Wall, all before reaching our destiny: The World's End! We took my car into town; I call it The Beast, because she was pretty hairy! And so our journey into manhood began. We were off! We didn't waste any time; we hit pub one, and we hit it hard! There was drinking, there was fun, there was controversy, there were ladies, there were shots, there was drama, and of course, there was drinking! By pub five, we were feeling invincible, and decided to purchase some herbal refreshment from a man we call The Reverend Green. Pint six put O-Man out of commission, so we carried on without him. Good thing; I bumped into his sister in the next pub, we went into the disabled's and I ]! Sam tagged along for a while, but then I had to let her go; I had another date that night and her name was Amber! Nine pints in, and it was us against the world. Things got mental in The Beehive, so we repaired to the bowls club, or as we liked to call it, the Smokehouse - which is when it all went fuck-up! Everyone got Para(noid) and Pete chucked a whitey, so we had to bench him. In the end, we blew off the last three pubs and headed to the hills. I remember sittin up there, blood on my knuckles, beer down my shirt, sick on my shoes, seeing the orange glow of a new dawn breaking, and knowing in my heart that life would never feel this good again. And you know what? It never did.

Nicholas Angel P.I. Staker... Right. Pisstaker! Come on!

Met Sergeant Hello, Nicholas.

Nicholas Angel Hello, Sergeant.

Met Sergeant How's the hand?

Nicholas Angel Still a bit stiff.

Met Sergeant (sniffs deeply) It can get awfully hairy out there. I'm surprised you weren't snapped up sooner for a nice desk job, that's what I did.

Nicholas Angel I like to think of my office as out on the street.

Met Sergeant Indeed you do. Your arrest record is... (opens a page on his desk with his right hand, reads from it) 400% higher than any other officer (closes page), which is high time such...skills were put to better use. We're making you Sergeant.

Nicholas Angel (grinning slightly) I see.

Met Sergeant (quickly and quietly) In Sandford, Gloucestershire.

Nicholas Angel In where, sorry?

Met Sergeant In Sandford, Gloucestershire.

Nicholas Angel (taking the new information in) That's... in the country.

Met Sergeant Yes, lovely.

Nicholas Angel Isn't there a Sergeant's position here in London?

Met Sergeant (laughs briefly) No.

Nicholas Angel Can I remain here as a PC?

Met Sergeant (throws his hands up in the air) No.

Nicholas Angel (sternly) Do I have any choice in this?

Met Sergeant Neewww.

Nicholas Angel Sergeant, I kinda like it here.

Met Sergeant Well, you've always wanted a transfer to the country.

Nicholas Angel In twenty years or so, yes.

Met Sergeant Well done you.

Nicholas Angel (thinks briefly) Hang on, I don't remember telling you that.

Met Sergeant Yes, you did. (He leans over to his desk) You said (He cocks his head to one side and opens a corner of a thick document on his desk; reading from the document, quickly and quietly) "I'd love to settle in the country sometime, Janine." (He closes his document and looks at Nicholas)

Nicholas Angel (Thinks carefully; sternly) I'd like to talk to the Inspector.

Met Sergeant (leans forward to his desk phone/intercom) You can speak to the Inspector, but I can assure you, he will tell you exactly the same thing as I have. (He picks up the desk phone handset with his left hand, throws it into his right hand, and uses his left hand to dial the Met Inspector's number)

Shaun Oh my god, that is rotten!

Nicholas Angel Hey biggun'. Playtime's over.

Shaun PETE! I SAID, LEAVE HIM ALONE!

Shaun ]'s "Hip Hop Be-Bop"] That was the second album I ever bought!

Shaun Would anyone like... a peanut?

Gary King They call me The King.

Gary King I don't believe this. A man of your legendary prowess drinking fucking...rain! It's like seeing a lion eating some hummus!

Met Inspector (sliding into the desk, next to the Met Sergeant) Hello, Nicholas. How's the hand?

Nicholas Angel It's still a bit stiff.

Met Inspector And how are things at home?

Nicholas Angel I'm sorry, sir?

Met Inspector (jovially) How's Janine?

Nicholas Angel We're no longer together, sir.

Met Inspector Right, well, then where are you living?

Met Sergeant (leans over to Met Inspector; quietly) He's staying at the Section House, sir.

Met Inspector With the recruits?

Met Sergeant (looks into Nicholas's eyes) Yes, he's living out of cardboard boxes.

Met Inspector Well then, you're packed already. Nicholas, we're offering you a smashing position with a delightful cottage in a lovely little place that has I think has won Village of the Year...I don't know how many times. It'll be good for you.

Nicholas Angel (beat, then) I...don't really know what to say.

Met Inspector Yes"?

Met Sergeant (arrogantly) "Yes, thank you"? (He laughs briefly.)

Nicholas Angel (shakes his head slowly) No, I'm sorry. I'm gonna have to...

Met Inspector You want to...take this higher? (points up)

Nicholas Angel (realising that's what he wants) Yes, yes, I do.

Met Inspector You want me to bother the Chief Inspector about this?

Nicholas Angel Yes.

Nicholas Angel Yes, I do.

Met Inspector Okay. Kenneth!

Shaun Ah! Sorry, Pete, sorry... listen, we're gonna borrow your car, okay, hope you don't mind and – ah – later on, if you're feeling better, w-we're going down to the pub, so you're m-more than welcome to, to... join us.(A reference to ]).

Nicholas Angel That's just going to scare it.

Ethan Hunt Failure to a terrorist is just a rehearsal for success. We lose Hendricks today, he finds another way with no IMF to stop him. So it's now or never. Give me the case!

Brandt Nothing can be left to the chance!

Ethan Hunt You're the analyst, you tell me there is not another way for Hendricks to get these codes. This is his only avenue right here, right now & today. You tell me that I'll walk away!

Ethan Hunt (Masks will be ruined) We go without...

Benji Without MASKS!!

Ethan Hunt Jane needs to go.

Jane Ethan you'd be walking Moureau's room unarmed. Face first literally!

Ethan Hunt How do we know they've met?!

Jane How do we know they haven't?!

Brandt It doesn't matter. (Brandt gives the brief case to Ethan) We have no choice!

Shaun Ohh, for God's sake! He's got an arm off!

Nicholas Angel What's the matter, Danny? Never taken a shortcut before?

Nicholas Angel You're a doctor. Deal with it!

Shaun What's the matter, David? Never taken a shortcut before? (This line would be repeated in Hot Fuzz)

Graeme Willy We’re just a couple of regular guys on a tour of the less touristy side of the American Midwest.

Shaun Fuck-a-doodle-doo!

Nicholas Angel Excuse me.

Underage Drinker What?

Nicholas Angel When's your birthday?

Underage Drinker 22nd of February.

Nicholas Angel What year?

Underage Drinker Every year.

Nicholas Angel Get out.

Nicholas Angel YOU! When's your birthday?

Underage Drinker #2 Uh... 8th of May, 1969?

Nicholas Angel You're 37?

Underage Drinker #2 Yeah?

Nicholas Angel Get out!

Nicholas Angel When's your birthday?

Underage Drinker #3 Errr--

Nicholas Angel OUT!

Graeme Willy He needs our help. Sometimes you just got to roll the dice.

Shaun How's that for a slice of fried gold?

Gary King Tonight, we will be partaking of a liquid repast, as we wend our way up the Golden Mile, commencing with an inaugural tankard in The First Post, then on to The Old Familiar, The Famous Cock, The Cross Hands, The Good Companions, The Trusty Servant, The Two-Headed Dog, The Mermaid, The Beehive, The King's Head, and The Hole in the Wall for a measure of the same. All before the last bittersweet pint in that most fateful terminus - The World's End. Leave a light on, good lady, for though we may return with a twinkle in our eyes, we will, in truth, be blind - drunk.

Shaun He's not my dad. He's my stepdad.

Nicholas Angel By the power of Greyskull...

Nicholas Angel (whilst chasing Frank Butterman) PUNCH-THAT-SHIT!

Luther Stickell Sorry about the decor; the Ritz was booked solid.

Ethan Hunt Well, some drapes, a few throw-pillows, and...

Benji Dunn Yeah! Mini-bar?

Ethan / Benji / Luther Foosball table!

Chief Inspector I know what you're going to say, Nicholas, but the fact is you've been making us all look bad.

Nicholas Angel I'm sorry, sir?

Chief Inspector Of course, we all appreciate your efforts, but you've been rather letting the side down.

Met Inspector It's all about being a team player, Nicholas.

Met Sergeant You can't be the Sheriff of London.

Chief Inspector If we let you carry on running around town, you'll continue to be exceptional... and we can't have that. You'll put us all out of a job.

Nicholas Angel With respect, sir, you can't just make people disappear.

Chief Inspector Yyyes I can, I'm the Chief Inspector

Nicholas Angel Well, however you spin this, there's one thing you haven't taken into account... and that's what the team is gonna make of this!
