Miles Bron Okay, look, I know you guys think I'm a hippie, but can we just take a second and fully in-breathe-iate [sic] this moment together?
Tied for 2nd most-quoted character in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022): in 5 of its 23 quotes
Most scenes with: Benoit Blanc (2)
You know Da Vinci invented a technique for brushstrokes that leave no lines? That's how you can look straight at her, and her expression changes every time. Her smile's there, then it disappears. Is she happy, is she sad, is it something else? This simple thing that you thought you were looking at, it suddenly takes on layers and depth so complex, gives you vertigo.

2 quotes Miles Bron Miles Bron Andi used to tell me the truth. Nobody does that now. It's all just fake smiles and agendas and people wanting what they think they're owed. Hating you when you don't give it to them because that's what you're there for.
Scenes with Miles Bron
2 scenes Miles Bron Let me tell you a little secret. Your worldview is gonna change. Once you hear it, you can't un-hear it. Is your phone turned off?
Oh, I left it in my room.
Miles Bron Okay. If you want to shake things up, you start with something small. You break a norm or an idea or a convention, some little business model, but you go with things that people are kind of tired of anyway. Everybody gets excited because you're busting up something that everyone wanted broken in the first place. That's the infraction point. That's the place where you have to look within yourself, and ask: Am I the kind of person who will keep going? Will you break more things? Break bigger things? Be willing to break the thing that nobody wants you to break? Because at that point, people are not going to be on your side. They're going to call you crazy. They're gonna say you're a bully. They're gonna tell you to stop. Even your partner will say you need to stop. Because as it turns out, nobody wants you to break the system itself. But that is what true disruption is, and that is what unites all of us. We all got to that line, and crossed it.
The killer nearly struck my Achilles' Heel. But thank high heaven, at the last moment, I realized what had teased my entire brain through this entire case: ..."imbreathiate". ...It's not a word.
Lionel Toussaint
What?
Miles Bron Can we just take a second and fully imbreathiate this moment?
It's not a real word. It kinda sounds like one, but it's just entirely made up. Now "reclamation", now, well, that... that is a word, but it's the wrong word.
Miles Bron This place is the full reclamation of everything I've achieved up to now.
This entire day...
Miles Bron The predefinite detective.
...a veritable minefield of malapropisms...
Miles Bron The infraction point.
... and factual errors.
Miles Bron Bask in the sun, swim in the Ionian Sea.
Claire Debella
Oh, yeah, it is. It is.
His dock doesn't float. His wonder fuel... is a disaster. His grasp of disruption theory is remedial at best. He didn't design the puzzle boxes. He didn't write the mystery. Et voila! It all adds up! The key to this entire case, and it was staring me right in the face. Like everyone in the world, I assumed Miles Bron was a complicated genius, but why? Look into the clear center of this Glass Onion: Miles Bron is an idiot!
Miles Bron Oh, please, just tell us who tried to kill me.
Nobody tried to kill you, you vainglorious buffoon!
