Bhenchod!, Kia kar rahay ho?(From Hindi, meaning: sister-****er what are you doing?)
Singh
What's wrong with this **** country? Everybody hates everybody!
Well, "Families are always rising and falling in America", am I right?
Who said that?
Hawthorne.
Pfft! What's the matter, smartass, don't know any ****in' Shakespeare?
Bookie I'm in the hole, I pay him two grand a week! No profit, I pay him two grand a week!
Then make more **** money. This is America: You don't make money, you're a ****in' douche bag! Now, what're you gonna do?
Bookie Make more money!
That's the spirit!
Well these days, who's reliable?
His uncle Jackie was. Yeah, you can't trust a guy acts like he's got nothing to lose.
I'm reliable.
Arnold, you're one in a million.
Ten. Ten million.
What about your wife, Arnold?
Well, I thought she was.
Well, she got reliable.
[flashback showing French strangling his wife]
Yes, yes, I do.
The **** food? I don't know, what?
You can learn a lot, watching things eat. [licks fly off palm]
Church wants you on your place. Kneel, stand, kneel, stand. If you go for that sort of thing, I don't know what to do for you. A man makes his own way. No one gives it to you. You have to take it. "Non serviam."
Young Colin
James Joyce.
Smart, Colin. Guineas from the north and down Providence try to tell me what to do. And, uh, something maybe happen to them. Maybe, uh, like that.
Good day, father.
Older Priest
Good day, Francis.
You recall our chat? Little boys. Sucking on their peckers, etc. and so forth. I am as God made me. Is that your rationale? May I remind you - in this archdiocese, God don't run the bingo.
Young Priest
May I remind you - that pride comes before the fall.
How's Sister Mary Teresa doing? Had a tasty relationship before she took her vows.
Have a seat, Bill. Do you know John Lennon?
Yeah, sure, he was the president before Lincoln.
Lennon said, "I'm an artist. You give me a **** tuber (tuba), I'll get you something out of it."
I tell you Mr. Costello, I'd like to squeeze some **** money out of it.
Smart mouth. Too bad. If you'll indulge me--
Gwen Choir practice.
Choir practice. The point I'm making with John Lennon is: a man could look at anything, and make something out of it. For instance, I look at you and I think, "What could I use you for?"
How's your mother?
Man in Bar
She's on her way out.
We all are, act accordingly.
I'm going to have my associate search you.
No, no one's **** searching me. Searching me for what?
Contra-****-band. Take your shoes off.
[to Costigan] I knew your father.
Yeah? You know he's dead?
Oh, sorry. How'd he go?
He didn't complain.
Yeah, that was his problem.
Who said he had a problem?
I just said he had a **** problem. There's a man who could have been anything.
Are you trying to say he was nothing?
[French slams Costigan onto a pool table and continues his search]
I'm saying he worked at the airport. Arm.
[French directs Costigan to a pool table, making him hold out his casted arm]
Show me your arm. Flip it. mm-hmmm, mm-hmmm.
[French slams Costigan's arm on the table until the cast breaks, while Costigan screams in pain]
It makes me curious to see you in this neighborhood. And if I can slander my own environment, it makes me sad. This, uh, regression. Plus, I don't know if it's beyond some **** cop prick like Queenan to pull you out of the Staties and send you gift-wrapped to me. I just can't know. I wonder what they do in that particular department, anyway.
[Costello slams on Costigan's broken arm with Costigan's boot] [yelling]
Are you still a cop?
[Costello whacks his arm again] [yelling]
Swear on your mother's grave you're still not a cop?!
I'm not a **** cop!
[Costello whacks his arm again, this time re-breaking it] [yelling]
Are you going to stop doing coke deals with your jerk-off **** cousin?!
Yes, yes, yes!!
Alright, alright. You're okay, you'll be alright. Get your hand taken care of.
[Costello throws down some money]
I'm sorry, but it was necessary. As for our problem with Providence - let's not cry over some spilled guineas.
Jeez. She fell funny.
