Greg Kinnear movie quotes

View Quote Do you miss the tough guy? [imitating Melvin] Well here I am, sweetheart! C'mere ya little piss-ant mop!

View Quote The best thing you have going for you is your willingness to humiliate yourself.

View Quote I'm losing my apartment, Melvin. And Frank, he wants me to beg my parents, who haven't called me, for help. And I won't. And... I don't want to paint any more! So the life that I was trying for, is over. The life that I had is gone, and I'm feeling so damn sorry for myself that it's difficult to breathe.

View Quote Don't apologize Olive. It's a sign of weakness.

View Quote There are two kinds of people in this world - winners and losers. Inside each and everyone of you, deep inside the core of your being is a winner waiting to be awakened and unleashed upon the world.

View Quote Sarcasm is the refuge of losers.

View Quote [Rescuing Captain Amazing]
The Shoveler: Captain, I'm just going to ask you directly; do you know billionaire Lance Hunt?
Captain Amazing: It's me. [Shoveler looks surprised and disappointed] Nah, I'm only kiddin' ya - I always wanted to do that.

View Quote Captain Amazing: Listen, I really think we need to talk about your plans here.
Casanova Frankenstein: You know my plans, Lancie. Tomorrow night... I'm going to kill you.
Captain Amazing: Right. That's the part that really doesn't work for me.

View Quote [Rescuing Captain Amazing from Casanova's weapon of mass destruction]
Captain Amazing: Now flip the second toggle.
The Bowler: [Having already flipped on his instructions once] ... Again?
Captain Amazing: What do you mean?
The Bowler: Flip the toggle twice?
Captain Amazing: No-no-no, don't do that, just flip it again, now, one time! Flip it.
The Bowler: [To Mr. Furious] ... Does he understand what I'm asking?
Mr. Furious: Hold on a second - Captain, exactly how many toggle flips in toto are involved in this procedure?
Captain Amazing: [Flustered] I just - I - Seven!
Mr. Furious: [Incredulous] Seven?!
Captain Amazing: [A little hysterical] Flip it!!
[The weapon begins to hum omniously and increasingly loudly]
The Bowler: Hold the phone! Everybody hold the phone. You phrased that incorrectly. We need to know how many toggle flips are needed not counting the gratuitous toggle flip you may have asked for in a moment of panic.
Captain Amazing: [Very hysterical] FLIP IT!!!
Mr. Furious: Okay, you know what, can we just start again? Is there like a reset button on this thing or something?
Captain Amazing: No you little freak, there's no button for resetting! Flip the switch, lady! Don't look at me, lift your left arm and flip it, you moron!
The Bowler: [Offended] Whoa! I am not a moron.
Captain Amazing: You're a moron! You're a moron! Flip the switch, lady!
Mr. Furious: [Gently rebuking] Hey, don't call her a moron, that's not cool...
The Bowler: Thank you!
Blue Raj: [Fed up] I'll do it! I'll do it! It's this one, yes?
The Bowler: No!
[Blue Raj flips the wrong switch - the weapon activates]
Captain Amazing: Uh-oh - wrong switch.
[The weapon kills Captain Amazing in a horrific and grotesque fashion as the Mystery Men watch, appalled]
Mr. Furious: ... Everybody heard me say 'reset button', right?
Blue Raja: [Horrified] Oh my God... Oh my God, we've killed him...
The Shoveler: What do you mean, 'we'? I was right here.
[The Bowler approaches Amazing's fried, calcified and mutated corpse cautiously]
The Bowler: I'm gonna check his pulse...
[She gently touches his wrist; it breaks off from his arm and smashes into pieces on the floor]
The Bowler: ... I don't think he's gonna pull through.

View Quote [to Sidney-Ann Strongin on television] Technologically speaking, the world's out of hand. Take the VCR. The whole idea of a VCR is that it makes it possible for you to tape what's on television while you're out of the house. But the whole point of being out of the house is so you can miss what's on television. Radio. Now there's a medium I can get behind.

View Quote [to Kathleen Kelly] Listen to this -- the entire work force of the state of Virginia had to have solitaire removed from their computers -- because they hadn't done any work in six weeks.... You know what this is, you know what we're seeing here? We're seeing the end of Western civilization as we know it.

View Quote [to Kathleen Kelly, typing]You are a lone reed, standing tall, waving boldly, in the corrupt sands of commerce.

View Quote [The Bigweld Industries executives are gathered in the meeting room, watching a clip of The Bigweld Show]
Bigweld: [video] So, remember, whether a bot is made of new parts, old parts or spare parts, you can shine no matter what you're made of! [the clip stops]
Ratchet: Oh, my goodness. What a remarkable legacy. Concern for the common robot. You just don't come across old-fashioned values like that anymore, my friends. And for a good reason... THERE'S NO MONEY IN IT! Hello! Memo to Bigweld: we're not a charity! That's why old Fat-face no longer sits in the big chair. He's a relic! So I don't want to hear another [in a whiny voice] "Where's Bigweld?" [imitates a baby whining]
Chairman: We'll see him next month at the Bigweld Ball! He always goes to that. [Ratchet pushes a button which makes the chairman fall into a pit]
Ratchet: Now, let's get down to the business of sucking every loose penny out of Mr. and Mrs. Average Knucklehead. [closes the room's blinds and starts a presentation] What's our big ticket item? Upgrades, people, upgrades. That's how we make the dough. Now, if we're telling robots that no matter what they're made of, they're "fine", how can we expect them to feel crummy enough about themselves to buy our upgrades and make themselves look better? Therefore, I have come up with a new slogan: "Why be you when you can be new?" [turns off the screen and opens the blinds] I gotta tell you, I think it's brilliant, but honestly, I'd like to hear what you employees think about this.
[after a moment of silence, the boardroom erupts in applause]
Employee: Out of the ballpark, Ratchet.

View Quote Madame Gasket: All right, break time [Worker's look up surprised] All right, break time's over. Chop, chop! [cackles as the workers groan in disappointment] Ah, look who's here.
Ratchet: Hi, Mom.
Madame Gasket: Hi, sweetie! How's my boy?
Ratchet: Great. I did just what you told me: no more spare parts. In a couple of days, those broken-down bots out there are gonna be nothing but scrap metal. You will be up to your bloomers in broken outmode junk!
Madame Gasket: Such a good boy! And after you finish off Bigweld, there will be nobody out there to fix them.
Ratchet: Exactly... uh, you wanna swing that by me again?
Madame Gasket: YOU IDIOT!! Those outmodes look up to him! Suppose he decides to come back!
Ratchet: Aw, come on, Mom! He's not gonna be any trouble where he is!
Madame Gasket: What are you afraid of?! Grow some bolts! Or do you wanna end up like your father? [shows Ratchet his father as nothing but a hanging endoskeleton]
Ratchet's Dad: Hey, son. Good to see ya.
Madame Gasket: Think what it would mean. Not Bigweld Industries, Ratchet Industries.
Ratchet: Keep talking.
Madame Gasket: RATCHET CITY!!!
Ratchet: Yes, everything shiny... [laughs evilly]
Madame Gasket: No more Bigweld, no more outmodes!
Ratchet: LET'S DO IT!!!
Madame Gasket: THAT'S MY BOY!!!
[the two dance and laugh maniacally]
Madame Gasket: Are you hungry? Can I get you something? You look thin.
Ratchet: No, thanks, Mom. I gotta go. Bye. Oh, bye, Pop.
Ratchet's Dad: So long, son. Good luck with your dastardly plans.

View Quote [Ratchet is getting his back massaged]
Ratchet: Oh... Oh, yeah... I've never felt so relaxed. Say, do you mind giving me a little scratch between the shoulder blades? [a blade runs along his back] Oh, there ya-- AH! Easy, tiger. Oh! Hey, take it easy! Hey, what are you trying to do, kill--?! [gets up and sees Madame Gasket] AAAAHHH!!
Madame Gasket: Relax. It's me, your mommy.
Ratchet: How did you get in here?!
Madame Gasket: I came up the airshaft. I know you don't like anybody here to see me.
Ratchet: Well, what do you want?
Madame Gasket: Someone's fixing them!
Ratchet: What?
Madame Gasket: Someone is repairing outmodes! And they are laughing at you!
Ratchet: Who?! And are you sure they're not laughing with me?
Madame Gasket: Yes.
Ratchet: Oh, so what if one crazy fanatic repairs a few outmodes? Who cares?
Madame Gasket: Think. Use those brains I stole for you. Today, it's one. What about tomorrow when everyone gets the idea this is okay? "We can fix ourselves. We don't need upgrades. We want Bigweld." Then what happens to you?!
Ratchet: Okay, okay. Take it easy. We've got to find out who this is and stop him.
Madame Gasket: Not stop him, crush him! Destroy him! And by the way, I brought you a little something for your desk. [gives Ratchet a picture of her making a cute face in a heart-shaped frame titled "World's Best Mom"]

View Quote Sometimes you have to be apart from the people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes it makes you love them more.

View Quote [in letter to Ronnie] Love is fragile. And we're not always its best caretakers. We just muddle through and do the best we can. And hope this fragile thing survives against all odds.

View Quote Jonah: Mom says it's because she has PMS.
Steve: Do you even know what PMS is, Jonah?
Jonah: Of course I do, Dad. I'm not a little kid anymore. It's the Pissed At Men Syndrome.
