Bob Barrenger: I know my lines.

Walt Price: You do?

Bob Barrenger: I just don't know what order they come in.

Walt Price: How are we coming with the dead horse scene?

Marty Rossen: You can't actually kill the horse.

Walt Price: Aw, fuck me!

Decorator: Do you want to see the firemen's costumes? Because I found this mole skin for the color...

Production Assistant: Marty Rossen has touched down

Walt Price: Okay.

Decorator: It's not black but it looks black. It's not brown...

Walt Price: Yep, it's faggy without being homosexual.

Walt Price: What does he like?

Bill Smith: 14-year-old girls.

Walt Price: Well, get him something else. We want to get out of this town alive. Get him half a 28-year-old girl. How's my math?

Walt Price: This is what my people died for... the right to make a movie in this town.

Father Brendan: I'm flabbergasted.

Mark O'Brien: She adores me. She'll do anything for me, and I can get pretty kinky sometimes.

Father Brendan: Here I was, ready to offer comfort to the forlorn. That's supposed to be my specialty. Now I guess I can throw away that little speech.

Mark O'Brien: No, no. Please make the little speech. I'd love to hear it.

Father Brendan: Okay, fine. Here it goes. The meaning of love. Love is a journey.

Mark O'Brien: I like it already.

Father Brendan: That’s it. That’s all I’ve got. I told you it’s short. Love is a journey.

Mark O'Brien: I wanted to believe that because of Cheryl, my life had changed. But it hadn't. I just kept thinking, is that it? Is that all there is?

Father Brendan: I think you've done a great thing.

Mark O'Brien: So, is it possible for me to know a woman in the biblical sense, so to speak? And - and do I want to find out?

Father Brendan: And you want my opinion?

Mark O'Brien: Please.

Father Brendan: In my heart, I feel like He'll give you a free pass on this one. Go for it.

Father Brendan: I understand you'd like me to hear your confession.

Mark O'Brien: Yes, I would. I told my attendant to come back in half an hour. Is that okay?

Father Brendan: I'm in no rush.

Mark O'Brien: I can be a bit time consuming, but I'm, uh, worth the trouble.

Father Brendan: I'm here for you, Mark.

Mark O'Brien: Okay, this is not exactly a confession. I haven't yet done the deed. I was hoping sort of hoping to get a quote in advance.

Father Brendan: What's on your mind?

Mark O'Brien: The most immediate thing on my mind would be one of my attendants, Joan. I'm thinking of getting rid of her. It's an evil thought, but I - I can't help it.

Father Brendan: Is she dishonest, or incompetent?

Mark O'Brien: No, neither of those. She looks at me the wrong way. It's that you-need-me-more-than-I-need-you look. I'd like to show her she's wrong, just for the evil satisfaction it will give me. Is that a sin, Father?

Father Brendan: Well, it obviously troubles you.

Mark O'Brien: Yes, it troubles me a lot because what if it's really just a power trip. You know? Me against her. Me against the world.

Father Brendan: I really wouldn't worry about that. The question is whether you like having her around.

Mark O'Brien: I can't stand her.

Father Brendan: Well, then get rid of her. If I were in a position to choose, I'd find someone nice. Even if it was a power trip.

Mark O'Brien: Then I have your blessing to fire her?

Father Brendan: Unofficially, yes.

Mark O'Brien: That's good enough for me.

Father Brendan: [to Mark O'Brien] It's amazing to me how often God is brought into the sex act. I understand even among non-believers the most common expression of sexual ecstasy is "Oh, God!

Jerry Lundegaard: Now we had a deal. A deal's a deal.

Stan Grossman: Jerry, we thought you were bringin us an investment.

Jerry Lundegaard: Yah, right.

Stan Grossman: You're sayin'... What're you sayin'?

Wade Gustafson: You're sayin that we put in all the money and you collect when it pays off?

Jerry Lundegaard: No, no. I- I d, pay you back the principal, and interest. Heck, I'd go one over prime?

Stan Grossman: We're not a bank, Jerry.

Wade Gustafson: [[w:Midwest Federal Savings & Loan|Midwest Federal] What the heck, Jerry, if I wanted bank interest on seven hundred fifty thousand I'd go to ]. Talk to Bill Diehl.

Stan Grossman: He's at Norstar.

Wade Gustafson: He's at--

Jerry Lundegaard: No, see, I don't need a finder's fee, I need a... finder's fee's, what, ten percent? Heck, that's not gonna do it for me. I need the principal!

Stan Grossman: Jerry, we're not just going to give you seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars!

Wade Gustafson: What the heck were you thinkin'? Heck, if I'm only gettin bank interest, I'd look for complete security. Heck, FDIC. I don't see nothin like that here.

I'll tell you the answer: I'll tell you cause I had that one. I had that question. Carbon. Carbon. In pencil lead, it's in the form of graphite.

Frank Levin: Your asshole.

Mickey Haller: Yeah.

Frank Levin: Jesus, Mick, are you starting to think Louis is innocent?

Arn Peeples: My family is everywhere there's a smiling face. Never been somewhere I didn't have some family there.

Arn Peeples: We're but children on this earth pulling bolts out of the Ferris wheel, thinking ourselves to be gods.

Arn Peeples: The world is intricately stitched together, boys. Every thread we pull, we will not know how it affects the design of things.

Trevathan: You gotta stop thinking about the way things were and start thinking about the way they are. This is a good life, and you have a chance to be a part of it.
