Chasing Amy quotes

[wanting to leave Meow Mix after learning Alyssa is gay]

We've got to beat traffic.

What traffic? It's 1:30 in the morning!

Yeah, and rush hour starts in six hours. Let's go.

How do you manage to get away with this all the time? I mean, shouldn't the cops be busting your head open right about now?

Wrong coast.

So, uh, what do you wanna do tonight?

I dunno. Get a pizza, watch "Degrassi Jr. High".

You got a weird thing for Canadian melodrama.

I got a weird thing for girls who say, "Aboot."

They used you!

No! I used them! You don't think I would've let it happen if I hadn't wanted to? Do you? I was an experimental girl for Christ sake! Maybe you knew from early on your track was from point A to B, but unlike you I was not given a **** map at birth, so I tried it all! That is until we, you and I, got together and suddenly I was sated!

Hooper

And Jedi's the most insulting installment. Because Vader's beautiful black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man! They tryin' to tell us that deep inside we all wants to be white!

Well, isn't that true?

Hooper

Check this shit. You got cr***er farm boy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy, blond hair, blue eyes. And then you got Darth Vader, the blackest brother in the galaxy, Nubian god!

What's a "Nubian"?

Hooper

Shut the **** up!

Hooper

For years in this industry, whenever an African American character, hero or villain, was introduced - usually by white artists and writers - they got slapped with racist names that singled them out as N*****s. Now, my book, "White-Hating C**n," don't have none of that bullshit. The hero's name is Maleekwa, and he's descended from the black tribe that established the first society on the planet, while all you European mother****ers were hiding out in caves and shit, all terrified of the sun. He's a strong role model that a young black reader can look up to. Cause I'm here to tell you, the chickens is coming home to roost, y'all. The black man's no longer gonna play the minstrel in the realm of comics and sci-fi fantasy. We keepin it real, and we gonna get respect by any means necessary.

Ah, come on, that's a bunch of horse shit! Lando Calrissian was a black guy. You know, and he got to fly the Millennium Falcon, what's the matter with you?

Hooper

Who said that?

I did! Lando Calrissian is a strong role-model in the realm of science fiction/fantasy.

Hooper

**** Lando Calrissian! Un***-T*m n*er!

Hooper

I need to sell the image to sell the book. I mean, would the audience still buy the whole black rage angle if they found out the book was written by a... you know...

****?

Hooper

When you say it, it sounds so sexy. [kisses Banky]

Jay

So why the long face, Horse? Banky on the rag?

I'm just, ahh... just havin' a little girl trouble.

Jay

Bitch pressin' charges? I get that a lot.

Jay

What's that shit he's got us saying?

Oh, umm..."Snootchie Bootchies."

Jay

Snootchie Bootchies. Who the **** talks like that? That is **** baby talk.

[to Holden, who has just revealed his trouble with Alyssa]

You're Chasing Amy.

What? What did you say?

You're Chasing Amy.

Jay

What do you look so shocked for, man, fat bastard does this all the time. He thinks just cause he doesn't say anything, it'll have this huge impact when he does open his ****in' mouth...

[to Jay]

Jesus Christ, why don't you shut up? You're always yap-yap-yappin' all the time, you're givin' me a ****in' headache. [to Holden] I went through something like what you're talkin' 'bout, 'couple years ago, this chick named Amy.

Jay

When?

[annoyed]

A couple of years ago?

[to Holden]

So there's me an' Amy, and we're all inseparable, right? Just big time in love. And then about four months down the road, the idiot gear kicks in, and I ask about the ex-boyfriend, which, as we all know, is a really dumb move, but you know how it is - you don't really want to know, but you just have to know, right? Stupid guy bullshit. Anyway she starts telling me all about him - how they fell in love, and how they went out for a couple of years, how they lived together, her mother likes me better, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah - and I'm okay. But then she drops the bomb on me, and the bomb is this: it seems that a couple of times, while they were going out, he'd brought some people to bed with them - m?nage a trois, I believe it's called. Now this just blows my mind, right? I mean, I am not used to that sort of thing. I was raised Catholic, for God's sakes.

Jay

Saint Shithead.

[Silent Bob elbows him. Jay raises his fist as if to strike] [to Jay]

Do something. [to Holden] So I'm totally weirded out by this right? And I just start blasting her - like I don't know how to deal with what I'm feeling, so I figure the best way is by calling her "s**t", and tell her she was used - I mean, I'm out for blood. I really want to hurt this girl. And I'm like "What the **** is your problem?" and she's just all calmly trying to tell me, like, it was that time, it was that place, and she doesn't think she should apologize because she doesn't feel that she's done anything wrong. And I'm like, "Oh, really?" That's when I look her straight in the eye and tell her it's over. I walk.

Jay

****in' A.

No, idiot. It was a mistake. I wasn't disgusted with her, I was afraid. At that moment, I felt small - like...like I'd lacked experience, like I'd never be on her level, like I'd never be enough for her or something like that, you know what I'm sayin'? But what I did not get - she didn't care. She wasn't looking for that guy anymore. She was...she was looking for me, for - for the Bob. But, uh, by the time I figured this all out, it was too late, you know. She'd moved on, and all I had to show for it was some foolish pride, which then gave way to regret. She was the girl, I know that now. But I pushed her away. So I've spent every day since then chasing Amy...so to speak.

Collector
[Banky is strangling the Collector]

You're mucking with a G, you ****in' tracer.

I'll trace a chalk line around your dead **** body, you ****!

[to Security Guards]

Will you get him out of here!

Collector
[as he's being dragged away by Security Guard]

Hey wait a second! He jumped me, you **** tracer!

YOUR MOTHER'S A TRACER!
