View Quote The Saracens say that this disease is God's vengeance against the vanity of our kingdom. As wretched as I am, these Arabs believe that the chastisement that awaits me in hell is far more severe and lasting. If that's true, I call it unfair.

View Quote Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you have heard a lot today, and I'm not gonna go back over it, but you have to go into that room and make some decisions. But before you do, there's something you need to know. I am not trying to suggest that you should like what Larry Flynt does. I don't like what Larry Flynt does, but what I do like is the fact that I live in a country where you and I can make that decision for ourselves. I like the fact that I live in a country where I can pick up Hustler magazine and read it, or throw it in the garbage can if that's where I think it belongs.

View Quote [about the Mona Lisa] You know Da Vinci invented a technique for brushstrokes that leave no lines? That's how you can look straight at her, and her expression changes every time.

This simple thing that you thought you were looking at, it suddenly takes on layers and depth so complex, gives you vertigo.

View Quote Okay, look, I know you guys think I'm a hippie, but can we just take a second and fully in-breathe-iate [sic] this moment together?

View Quote Andi used to tell me the truth. Nobody does that now. It's all just fake smiles and agendas and people wanting what they think they're owed. Hating you when you don't give it to them because that's what you're there for.

View Quote Lavash: Get away from me. Don't touch me. It was YOU! You cocksucking bagel ****face!
Cereal: Hey, watch it!
Lavash: You pushed me out of the cart! No surprise there, huh? A bagel trying to kill a lavash, once again.
Sammy Bagel Jr.: I pushed YOU? What are you, nuts? Why would I do that? I'm a pacifist. The only thing I've ever pushed is my peaceful agenda which even that I didn't push, you know? I passive-aggressively nudged. I reached out in a panic. It was Toots over here, the bun. She grabbed me!
Brenda: Hey, I was just trying to save Frank.
Lavash: Who is Frank? You?
Frank: Yeah, I'm Frank.
Lavash: The fault is YOURS then, huh?
Frank: Look, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean for any of this to happen.
Lavash: Well, it did, and now you and your stupid useless bun have **** us all!
Brenda: Hey, who are you calling useless, you flappy ****?
Lavash: Sausage, control your insolent bun. And cover her up already. Show some modesty, woman.
Brenda: UGH! [Prepares to fight Lavash, but Sammy holds her back]
Sammy Bagel Jr.: Hey, hey. Look, can we all just, you know, calm down a notch, please? Let's try to be, I don't know, amicable. I'm Sammy Bagel Jr. You know, I'm happy to meet all of you. Except for this meshuggener **** over here.

View Quote [Teresa Del Taco has Brenda, Lavash, and Sammy hide in the Mexican Bar's tight closet with her]
Tequila: [walks inside] Okay, I got them right here, amigo. I-- "SHIT!" [finds that Lavash, Sammy and Brenda have disappeared]
Lavash: [squeezed in the closet with Sammy Bagel Jr.] Get your nose out of my crotch!
Sammy Bagel Jr.: "Get my nose out of your crotch?" Get your crotch off my nose!
Brenda: Hey, why are we hiding?
Teresa: Shh! Cállate! He's coming.
Brenda: [gasps] Who?
Teresa: The one they call... El Dou-che. [Douche enters the bar; all the Mexican food products are frightened]
Mexican Food Product 1: [quietly] El Dou-che.
Mexican Food Product 2: [quietly] El Dou-che!
Mexican Food Product 3: [quietly] El Dou-che!
Douche: What gives, bro? You told me you had them. So, you dragged me over to this **** aisle with all these illegal products, and now I don't see them. So, where the **** are they? Spill the beans!
Refried Beans: Qué?
Douche: Beans, I swear to **** God if you don't shut the **** up!
Brenda: [looks out from the closet] Oh no! He's back! Where's Frank?
Tequila: They were just here!
Douche: What part of "I want the sausage and the bun dead, and if you see them, come and get me, and if I find out that you didn't come and get me or just couldn't find them good enough, I'll **** kill your asses" did you not understand, Tequila?!
Tequila: Well, it's a pretty confusing sentence to be honest with you, you know. I mean, this is... uh, this happens, you know...
Douche: [calms down] Ah, bro, come here, ah, it's fine, it's cool. No biggie! I'm not gonna do something **** up to you now as soon as I get you in close. Come here. [grabs Tequila and shatters him]
Salsa: No way! José!
Douche: YES WAY! José's **** dead, yo! [drinks Tequila's fluids, causing him to turn green and get stronger muscles]
Teresa Del Taco: [watches Douche drink Tequila's fluids] Madre puta, madre puta. [Douche throws Tequila's cap into El Guaco's crotch]
El Guaco: Ay! Right in my guac and balls!
Douche: And the same thing's gonna happen to all of you unless you find the SAUSAGE and the bun!

View Quote I knew when I married you that you were selfish and spoiled. But I loved you. I knew that you married me only to get as far away from your mother as possible... and I hoped that one day there'd be something more. I was wrong.

View Quote [Jack and Nick study a new safe that's the same as the one at the Custom House]
Jack: [amazed at complexity of the new safe] I've never seen anything like that! What do you have in mind?
Nick: [Unfazed] I don't know, but if somebody built it, somebody can unbuild it.

View Quote [Jack successfully escapes the dragnet and prepares to ride the next bus to Albany, New York, but decides to call Nick and gloat about the heist]
Jack: Look, whatever you're thinking about, whatever you're trying, just forget it, okay? This is over now and you just gotta deal with it.
Nick: It's not over yet 'cause you don't know where you're going, asshole and I do. You know where you're going?
Jack: [over Nick] You don't know shit! You don't know shit! I'm like five minutes from being so far gone. You're not gonna even begin to imagine the places where I'm going, okay?
Nick: No way because you got nothing.
Jack: You know what I got. You just can't deal with the fact that I beat you.
Nick: Oh, yeah? What have you got? Huh? What have you got?
Jack: You know what I've got! [gets nervous and puts down the bag where Nick kept the sceptre - only to find a large rod; Nick has the sceptre and stashed it in a carrying case]
Nick: Let me ask you something, Jack. When did you start thinking you were better than me, huh? You still there, ace?
Jack: [dumbfounded at the swerve] Okay. Nicely done. Nicely done. Now let's talk about this.
Nick: [as he and his associate board a nearby boat] Okay, let's see. How'd you put it? "Deal with it. It's over."
Jack: No no no, I don't think so. You want me to list the ways I can burn you? We either work this out right now, or I will take you down.
Nick: Oh, yeah? How? My shop, my tools, they're gone. Me, my friend, I'm just a taxpaying jazz club owner. You? Every cop in the city's gonna be looking for you right about now. So, if I were you, I'd quit making threats and hit the road... Nice working with you, ace. Okay bye bye. [hangs up]

View Quote Jack Teller: In all the years you've been doing this, what's the biggest gamble you ever took? On job, the biggest longshot?
Nick: I don't take longshots and I never have.
Jack: I know you're careful. I'm careful too, that's not what I mean. When you were starting out you must've taken some "flyers" here and there, did something that was a little wild. I'm just curious.
Nick: You're smart, talented and you know a few things, but talent means nothing in this game if you don't make the right choices. There's plenty of talented people that never see the light of day anymore. This whole thing takes discipline because it's one big longshot, and if you don't have the discipline to stay away from the" flyers", the "gambles", or whatever else you want to call a stupid move, then one day you will go down. It's inevitable.

View Quote We are the sin eaters. It means that we take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us, so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible, and absolutely necessary.

View Quote We're here talking about a serious infection, and all we're trying to do is determine how far it's spread so that we know how much we have to cut to save the patient.

View Quote Aaron Cross: With all due respect, sir, now's not the best time. Twenty minutes, this place is gonna fall apart.
Eric Byer: I'm aware of that. I'll take the chance. We need to talk. I need you to stop what you're doing and turn around. That's an order. We got screwed on the intel, okay? Nobody knew those people were in there. It would be perfectly normal for a person to have doubts about the morality of what we just asked you to do.
Aaron Cross: Is that a question, sir?
Eric Byer: No, it's not. Tune in to what I'm trying to say to you. Do you know what a sin eater is? [Aaron mouths no] Well, that's what we are. We are the sin eaters. It means that we find the moral excrement that we find in this situation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our cause can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary. You understand?
Aaron Cross: [shakes his head yes] Will that be all?

Lyle: I'm gonna get a NAD T-770 digital decoder with a seventy-watt amp and and Burr Brown DAC's.

Steve Bendel: I don't know. I haven't decided yet.
Left Ear: You haven't decided yet? Come on, man. Is it the mountain air? Just —

Mashkov: I am Mashkov. And you killed my cousin Yehven.
Charlie Croker: Gotta have some insurance, Steve.

Mashkov: [to Charlie] You were right... No imagination.

View Quote More and more people have been showing up, and they're bringing their teaspoons. Teaspoons for justice, and teaspoons for peace, and teaspoons for love, and that's what we do. And, gosh, you showed up, Bobby, and damn it, if you didn't bring a shovel.
