Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) - Quotes

Newt: People like you, don't they, Mr. Kowalski?

Newt: I need to get going. Find everyone who's escaped, before they get hurt.

Jacob: Before they get hurt?

Newt: Yes, Mr. Kowalski. For they're currently in alien terrain surrounded by millions of the most vicious creatures on the planet...Humans.

Jacob: Mr. Scamander?

Newt: Oh, call me Newt.

Jacob: Newt, I don't think I'm dreaming.

Newt: What gave it away?

Jacob: I ain't got the brains to make this up.

Newt: You're a Legilimens?

Queenie: Mmm. Yeah. But I always have trouble with your kind. Brits. It's the accent.

Jacob: You, uh, you know how to read minds?

Queenie: Oh, don't worry, honey. Most guys think what you was thinkin first time they see me.

Tina: Mr. Scamander, do you know anything about the wizarding community in America?

Newt: I do know a few things, actually. I know you have rather backwards laws about relations with Non-Magic people. That you're not meant to befriend them. That you can't marry them, which seems mildly absurd to me...

Tina: Who's gonna marry him?

Tina: You can't Obliviate him. We need him as a witness.

Newt: Yes, I'm sorry, but you just yelled at me the length of New York for not doing it in the first place.

Tina: [about Jacob] He's hurt! He looks ill.

Newt: [Jacob groans and doesn't look well; getting concerned] He'll be fine. Murtlap bites aren't serious. Yeah, I admit that is a slightly more severe reaction than I've seen. But if it was really serious, he'd have...

Tina: What?

Newt: Well, the first symptom would be flames out of his anus...

Tina: Oh, this is balled up!

Tina: [[w:Mercy Lewis|Mercy Lewis] ], what is that?!

Newt: [returns it to his case] Nothing to worry about... That is a murtlap.

Tina: [referring to Newt's suitcase that the creatures escaped from] It was open?

Newt: Just a smidge.

Policeman: Hey, quiet down! I'm trying to get a statement!

Woman: I'm telling you, it's a gas explosion again, and I ain't taking the kids back up there until it's safe!

Policeman: Sorry, ma'am, there ain't no smell of gas.

Man: [Newt passes behind him, waving his wand] It weren't gas, officer. I seen it. It was a gigantic, huge hippop... ...gas.

Tina: What was that?

Newt: Uh, moth, I think. Big moth.

Tina: And you were just in Equatorial Guinea?

Newt: And I've just completed a year in the fields. I'm writing a book about magical creatures.

Tina: Like an extermination guide?

Newt: No. A guide to help people understand why we should be protecting these creatures instead of killing them.

Tina: You wiped his memory, right? The No-Maj.

Newt: The what?

Tina: No magic. The non-wizard!

Newt: Oh...yes, sorry. We call them Muggles.

Mary Lou: Are you a seeker? A seeker after truth?

Newt: I'm more of a chaser, really.

Customs Official: Anything edible in there?

Newt: [unconsciously passes a hand over his breast pocket] No.

Customs Official: Livestock?

Newt: Must get that fixed. Um...No.

Customs Official: [Newt moves a latch on his suitcase that switches it to "Muggle Worthy. The Customs Official opens the suitcase and we see it contains his clothes] Let me take a look. Welcome to New York.

Jacob Kowalski: Hey! Mr. English Guy! I think your egg is hatching.

Porpentina "Tina" Goldstein: [[w:Deliverance Dane|Deliverance Dane] Why in the name of ] did you let that thing loose?!

Newt Scamander: [to Jacob, upon being unsure whether he should be worried] Well, my philosophy is that worrying means you suffer twice.

Newt Scamander: [to Graves] Useless...? Useless?! ...That is.. a..parasitical magical force that killed a child, what on earth would you use it for?

Newt Scamander: [in a note to Jacob] Dear Mr. Kowalski, you are wasted in a canning factory. Please take these Occamy eggshells as collateral for your bakery. A well-wisher.

Newt Scamander: You two, head that way. And try very hard not to be predictable.

Newt Scamander: [as a lion appears in the street] You know, New York is considerably more interesting that I'd expected.

Newt Scamander: [Pickett blows a raspberry] Pickett? Come on, give me a smile. Pickett, give me a... All right, now that is beneath you.
