Dave Schultz quotes from Foxcatcher (2014)

Let's get pointed here.

What are you looking for?

I think you know what we're trying to accomplish here. We're making a documentary that shows John is gonna be able to lead this team and lead you to levels of greatness in the world of wrestling that we haven't seen before. And, talk about that, but use some of those terms that he likes like excellent and intensity and validation.

All right. Well, John du Pont... Say that again? I'm sorry. Can you ask me that question again?

John sees you as important to this. You're the closing chapter to this thing. You're the end of it, and you're the assistant coach. He sees himself as your mentor. I would like you to just look at the camera and just speak about John... as a mentor.

And say what exactly?

That he's your mentor. Can you do that?

John du Pont... is kind of a mentor to me.

Just look over here at the camera and say it again.

John du Pont is a mentor to me.

Mark... Look, I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but Nancy and I would like to try and make it work here.

Mark Schultz

You and I both know that I can't stay here.

I know, Mark. [long pause] Hey, do you remember when we were kids? You remember how we lived? Moving all over the place? Never had any idea of where or how long we were gonna be anywhere. You remember how that was for us? Was it easy for us?

Mark Schultz

No.

That's my responsibility to my family, Mark. I know you understand that. Keep your head in the game, Mark. Go on down.

Hey, John. What's happening? [notices that John has a gun] Hey, whoa!

John du Pont

You have a problem with me?

No, John, don't!

John, I don't have a problem. Hey, John...
[John fires at him]
