Zoolander Quotes

Conflict Over Derek Zoolander's Modeling Career

Maury: For Christ’s sake, it’s a casserole, Shiela, it’ll stay!
Mugatu: [interrupting Maury; To the Malaysian Prime Minister; Mugatu throws an “M” shaped throwing star at the Prime Minister of Malaysia] Shut up! Enough already, Ballstein. Who cares about Derek Zoolander anyway? The man has only one look for Christ's sake! Blue Steel, Ferrari, Le Tigre? They're the same face! Doesn't anyone notice this?! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! I invented the piano key necktie. I invented it! What have you done, Derek? Nothing! YOU'VE DONE NOTHING! NOTHING!! And I will be a monkey's uncle if I let you ruin this for me, because if you can't get the job done then I will. DIE, YOU WAGE HIKING SCUM!

Fashion's Influence on History and Politics

J.P. Prewitt: The fashion industry has been behind every major political assassination over the last 200 years. And behind every hit, a card-carrying male model.
Matilda: Okay, that is impossible.
