Michael Rooker movie quotes

View Quote Come on, baby, don't... Don't look at me like that.

View Quote I'm sorry for trying to strangle you and all. I lost my head. I didn't mean to do none of them things I done. Not kill them pets. Not make Brenda a womb. But it's my nature, ain't it? How can you blame someone for acting according to his own nature? I wanted to tell you what was going on, but I was afraid you wouldn't love me no more. I never knew love, Starla...

View Quote You ain't gonna shoot me, Starla! I told you: You always needed me to protect you! You for damn sure ain't got the balls to--

View Quote Bill Broussard: This is Louisiana, chief! I mean, how do you know who your daddy is? Because your mama told you so? You're way out there, boss, taking a crap in the wind, and I for one am not going along on this ride!

View Quote Bill Broussard: I'm lost. What are we saying?
Jim Garrison: That when Oswald went to Russia, he was not a real defector. He was an intelligence agent for our government and remained one till he died.
Bill Broussard: So, because Oswald pulled the trigger the intelligence community murdered the President?
Jim Garrison: I'll go you one better. Maybe Oswald didn't pull the trigger. Nitrate tests indicate he hadn't fired a rifle on November 22. And they didn't bother to see if the rifle'd been fired that day.
Bill Broussard: His palm print was on it.
Jim Garrison: It went to the FBI. FBI didn't find a goddamn thing. It comes back a week later and a Dallas policeman suddenly finds a palm print? It could've been taken at the morgue. There's no chain of evidence.
Al Oser: I can't figure out why he orders a traceable weapon to a P.O. box, when he can go into any store in Texas give a phony name and walk out with an untraceable rifle.
Susie Cox: To frame him, obviously!
Jim Garrison: A lot of smoke, but some fire.
Bill Broussard: We're talking about our government!
Jim Garrison: We're talking about a crime. You must think on a different level, like the CIA does. We're through the looking glass. White is black. And black is white. Maybe Oswald is just what he said he was. A patsy.

View Quote Lou Ivon: The Zapruder film establishes three shots in 5.6 seconds. I'm Oswald. Time me.
Bill Broussard: Go.
[Ivon fakes three shots]
Jim Garrison: Time?
Bill Broussard: Between six and seven seconds.
Lou Ivon: Without really aiming. The second and third shots came almost right on top of each other. It takes a minimum of 2.3 seconds to recycle this thing. The other problem is, there was a tree blocking the first two shots when fired in the Zapruder film.
Jim Garrison: Didn't Hoover say something about leaves falling in November?
Lou Ivon: It was Texas live oak, Chief. It sheds its leaves in early March. Take this Carcano, world's worst shoulder weapon and try to hit a moving target at 88 yards through heavy foliage. No way. FBI tried two sets of tests. Not one sharpshooter could match Oswald's performance. Not one. Oswald was at best a medium shot. The scope was defective on it too. This is the whole essence of the case to me. The guy couldn't do the shooting. Nobody could. And they sold this lemon to the American public.
Jim Garrison: The Zapruder film was the proof they didn't count on. We got to get our hands on it.
Bill Broussard: It means we'll have to subpoena Time-Life.
Jim Garrison: Let me ask you something. Why not just shoot Kennedy on Houston? Plenty of time. He's out in the open.
Lou Ivon: I keep asking myself the same thing.
Jim Garrison: Frontal shot. Even if you miss him once, if he accelerates, you get a second shot.
Lou Ivon: The only reason to get him on Elm is you got him in a triangulated crossfire. You put a team there down at the fence. Frontal shot. Flat, low trajectory. Put a third team down in this building on a low floor. When Kennedy gets in the kill zone, it's a turkey shoot.
Jim Garrison: How many men?
Lou Ivon: One shooter. One spotter on a radio. Maybe three teams. These are professional riflemen. Serious people. Hunters. Patient. It takes skill to kill with a rifle. That's why no chief executive's been executed with one in 200 years.

View Quote Quill: [Yondu floats in the air hanging on his arrow] You look like Mary Poppins!
Yondu: Is he cool?
Quill: [Grins] Hell, yeah, he was cool.
Yondu: I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!

View Quote [After saving Peter Quill from the destroyed Ego.]
Yondu: He may have been your father, boy, but he wasn't your daddy. I'm sorry I didn't do none of it right. I'm damn lucky you were my boy.

View Quote Chick Gandil: You go back to Boston and turn seventy grand at the drop of a hat? I find that hard to believe.
Sport Sullivan: You say you can find seven men on the best club that ever took the field willin' to throw the World Series? I find that hard to believe.
Chick Gandil: You never played for Charlie Comiskey.

View Quote Sport Sullivan: Look at those hands, ladies. You should have been a pug, Chickie.
Chick Gandil: I did some fighting in my time. Once I was fighting a guy, my eyes were all bloody but I landed a lucky punch. The next thing I know I'm steppin' on something and it's the other guy's teeth. The referee raised my hand and someone shoved fifty bucks in my shorts. "What does he get?" I asked. The referee says, "From the looks of this jaw, a liquid diet for six weeks." Now what we should have done is held each other up for thirteen rounds and split the fifty.

View Quote [players meet with Attell to collect their money before game one]
Abe Attell: It's all out on bets.
Chick Gandil: [Shoves Attell] That's not good enough!
Abe Attell: Hey! Don't worry, you'll get your money soon enough.
Chick Gandil: When?
Swede Riesberg: And how much?
Abe Attell: A hundred grand, like I said. Twenty after each game.
Happy Felsch: Wait a minute, that's five games. I thought we were just dumping a few.
Abe Attell: No, you lose the first three.
Eddie Cicotte: Kerr's pitching the third. He's not with us.
Swede Riesberg: So, what? We don't hit for him, he'll fold. He's a busher!
Abe Attell: After that, we gotta play it by ear. We gotta make this look good, fellas....
Eddie Cicotte: [quietly to Gandil] Chick, where's the money I asked for?
Chick Gandil: Look under your pillow.
Eddie Cicotte: What?
Chick Gandil: Compliments of Sport Sullivan.

View Quote Quill: If you kill me, you're saying goodbye to the biggest score you've ever seen.
Yondu: The Stone? I hope you got a better idea, 'cause ain't no one stealin' from Ronan.
Quill: We got a ringer. [Glances at Gamora] She knows everything there is about Ronan. His ships, his army…
Gamora: He's vulnerable.
Quill: So what do you think, Yondu? Me and you, taking down scores, side by side, like the old days?
[Yondu glares at Quill...then calls off his dart and hugs Quill]
Yondu: [Laughs] Ya always had scrote, son! That's why we kept ya up as a kid!

View Quote [Drax, Groot and Rocket track down the Ravagers who took Quill and Gamora]
Rocket: Attention, idiots! The lunatic on the top of this craft is holding a Hadron Enforcer. It's a weapon of my own design.
Yondu: What the hell?
Rocket: If you don't hand over our companions now, he's gonna tear your ship a new one. A very big new one.
Yondu: I ain't buyin' it.
Rocket: I am giving you to the count of five. [Quill and Gamora start to panic] Five, four, three--
Quill: No, wait! Hold on! Rocket, it's me! For God's sake! We figured it out! We're fine!
[Pause]
Rocket: [Nonchalantly] Oh, hey, Quill. What's going on?

View Quote Yondu: When I picked you up as a kid, these boys wanted to eat you! They ain't never tasted Terran before! I saved your life!
Quill: Oh, will you shut up about that?! God! Twenty years you've been throwing that in my face! Like it's some great thing, "not eating me"! Normal people don't even THINK about eating someone else! Much less, that person having to be grateful for it!
