Thanks, I needed that.
Scenes with John 'Bluto' Blutarsky
9 scenes Bluto Kroger, your Delta Tau Chi name is Pinto.
Why Pinto?
Bluto [burps]
Why not?
What's my Delta Tau Chi name?
Bluto Dorfman, l've given this a lot of thought. From now on...your name is Flounder.
Bluto [Flounder has just fired a gun near Neidermeyer's horse, and the horse has dropped dead]
Holy shit!
There were blanks in that gun!
I didn't even point the gun at him!
Bluto HOLY SHIT!
Maybe he had a heart attack.
Bluto HOLY SHIT!
[The three glance at each other in terror, then run screaming]
Bluto! I think you know everybody here.
Mandy Greg, can't you--
Don't worry. Just keep your hands and feet away from his mouth.
Don't you have any respect for yourself?
This is absolutely gross! That boy is a P-I-G, pig!
Bluto See if you can guess what I am now. [puts mashed potatoes in his mouth, then squeezes his cheeks, spraying them] I'm a zit. Get it?
All right, you bastard. Let's go, right here!
You guys up for a toga party?
Bluto Toga! Toga!
Ah, I think they like the idea, Hoov.
Note: Bluto's "Toga! Toga!" is ranked #80 in the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 movie quotations in American cinema.
Guy with guitar [singing]
I gave my love a cherry / That had no stone / I gave my love a chicken / That had no bones / I gave my love a story / That had no end / I ga...
Bluto [grabs the guitar and smashes it against the wall repeatedly, then hands the splinters back]
Sorry.
Jesus. What's going on?
They confiscated everything, even the stuff we didn't steal.
Bluto They took the bar! The whole **** bar!
Bluto [Otter grabs a bottle of whiskey and throws it to Bluto, who chugs it all]
Thanks. I needed that.
Christ. This is ridiculous. What are we going to do?
Road trip.
Hey, quit your blubberin'. When I get through with this baby you won't even recognize it.
Flounder, you can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You **** up - you trusted us! Hey, make the best of it! Maybe we can help.
I'll tell you what. We'll tell Fred you were doing a great job taking care of his car, but you parked it out back last night and in the morning, it was gone. We report it to the police, D-Day takes care of the wreck, the insurance company buys your brother a new car.
Will that work?
Hey, it's gotta work better than the truth.
Bluto [thrusting six-pack into Flounder's hands]
My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.
Better listen to him, Flounder, he's in pre-med.
Bluto Hey! What's this lying around shit?
Stork Well, what the hell we s'posed to do, you moron?
War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Germans?
Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...[pauses to remember the rest of the phrase]... the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! [runs out, alone; then returns]
Bluto What the **** happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst! "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well, just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this! Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer—
Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.
Bluto And we're just the guys to do it.
Let's do it.
Bluto LET'S DO IT!!
We need to do something.
We do.
You know what we need to do?
Toga party.
We're on "double-secret probation," whatever the hell that is. We can't afford to have a toga party.
You guys up for a toga party?
Bluto TOGA! TOGA!
Ah, I think they like the idea, Hoov.
Otter, please don't do this.
I've got news for you, pal. They're gonna nail us no matter what we do, so we might as well have a good time.
