All That Jazz quotes
Page 1 of 2You see, Sammy, in California everybody needs a car. I got a friend who bought a Mercedes just to get to the bathroom.
There's all this bullshit about death with dignity. You know what death with dignity is, man? You don't drool.
This chick, man, without the benefit of dying herself, has broken down the process of death into five stages: anger, denial, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Sounds like a Jewish law firm. "Good morning, Angerdenialbargainingdepressionacceptance!"
Give it to me! Bye bye life, Bye bye happiness, hello loneliness, I think he's gonna die. Bye bye life, Bye bye happiness, Hello emptiness, I think he's gonna die. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Goodbye your life, goodbye.
Ladies and gentleman, let me lay on you a so-so entertainer, not much of a humanitarian, and this cat was never nobody's friend. In his final appearance on the great stage of life - uh, you can applaud if you want to - Mr. Joe Gideon!
Do you believe in love?
I believe in saying, "I love you." It helps you concentrate.
Quick. Tell me. What was the name of the girl in Philadelphia, the blonde with the television show?
Ah, the blonde with the television show. The blonde with the television show in Philadelphia? I remember that girl's name. I remember that girl's name because that girl meant something to me. The blonde with the television show - her name was Sweetheart! Honey? Baby? I can't remember her name.
Dorothy. Dorothy.
Who cares? I can't remember her name.
Oh, **** him! He never picks me!
Honey, I did **** him and he never picks me either.
I could think of many reasons for being with you.
Now, don't bullshit a bullshitter.
A great entertainer...
A great entertainer!
A great humanitarian...
A great humanitarian!
And my dear friend for 25 years...
And my dearest friend for 20 years!
You missed by five years, Joe.
Oh boy, do I hate show business!
Joe, you love show business.
Oh, that's right. I love show business. I'll go either way.
I always look for the worst in people.
A little of yourself in them?
Yeah, a little of myself. And generally, I find it.
Well, it may take you years, but you'll find it. Oh, you are cute. You are cute.
Katie, I tried to give you everything I could give.
Oh, you give all right; presents, clothes. I just wish you weren't so generous with your ****.
Nothing I ever do is good enough. It's not beautiful enough, it's not funny enough, it's not deep enough, it's not anything enough. Now, when I see a rose, that's perfect. I mean, that's perfect. I want to look up to God and say "How the hell did you do that? And why the hell can't I do that?"
Now that's probably one of your better con lines.
Yeah, it it. But that doesn't mean I don't mean it.
It's just that I keep wondering, Dad. Why don't you get married again?
I don't get married again, because I can't find anyone I dislike enough to inflict that kind of torture on.
