Guys like you always say that. You don't know what you're gonna do until you do it. I think you knew exactly what you were going to do. You were gonna kill your wife and child! And then it would be too late to turn back. It'd be easy to turn the gun on yourself!

Falling Down quotes
Page 4 of 5Hey! What happens between me and my wife is nobody's business but mine, Sandra.
I am not a vigilante. I am just an ordinary man trying to get home to my daughter's birthday. Now if everyone will just stay out of my way, then nobody will get hurt.
I lost my job. Actually I didn't lose it. It lost me. I'm overeducated, underskilled. Maybe it's the other way around. I forget, but I'm obsolete. I'm not economically viable. I can't even support my own kid.
Is that what all this is about? You're angry because you were lied to? Is that why my chicken dinner is drying out in the oven? Hey, they lie to everybody. They lie to the fish! But that doesn't give you any special right to do what you did today. The only thing that makes you special is your daughter.
It's my little girl's birthday today. We were going to have a barbecue like you guys, and she was going to play outside, my wife would hold my hand, and we'd talk about grown up things. And then when it got dark, we'd all go to sleep together. We'd all sleep together in the dark. And everything will be just like it was before.
Martin Prendergast. Downtown robbery. Let's go.
Me? I'm a coward, the captain just told me.
Now, if you go up against this guy, be careful.
Okay. Okay. I was willing to mind my own business. I was willing to respect your territory and treat you like a man, but you couldn't leave it alone, could you? You couldn't let a man sit here for 5 minutes and take a rest on your precious piece of shit hill?!
Sandra, you have a career. It's not easy to see your beauty go and that's all you got.
Some G.I. Joe gave an old geaser a heart attack at the Altmore Golf Course, and accosted a family right next door. He's wearing a surplus jacket, the kind you find at an Army Navy store.
What about the briefcase? You forgot the briefcase!
What would a guy in a white shirt and tie be doing in gangland?
Who the **** do you think you are, you ****! You **** ****!
