Glengarry Glen Ross 1992 quotes

Blake

You got leads. Mitch & Murray paid good money. Get their names to sell them. You can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit, you are shit, hit the bricks pal, and beat it, 'cause you are going out.

Shelley Levene

The leads are weak.

Blake

"The leads are weak." The **** leads are weak? You're weak. I've been in this business fifteen years...

Dave Moss

What's your name?

Blake

**** you. That's my name.

Blake

You know why, mister? 'Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight; I drove an eighty thousand dollar BMW. That's my name.

Blake

PUT. THAT COFFEE. DOWN. Coffee is for closers only. You think I'm ****in' with you? I am not ****in' with you.

Blake

Your name Levene?

Shelley Levene

Uh-huh.

Blake

You call yourself a salesman, you son of a bitch?

Dave Moss

You're such a hero, you're so rich, how come you're coming down here to waste your time with a bunch of bums?

Blake

You see this watch? You see this watch?

Dave Moss

Yeah.

Blake

That watch costs more than you car. I made $970,000 last year. How much you make? You see pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy, I don't give a shit. Good father, **** you. Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here, close. You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you ****? You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit?

Williamson

Where have you been, Shelly? Bruce and Harriet Nyborg? Do you want to see the memos? They're nuts. When I was with Webb, they used to call in every week. Did you see how they were living? How could you delude yourself?

Shelley Levene

I've got their check.

Williamson

Well, frame it. It's worthless.

Shelley Levene

Wha-wha--The check's no good?

Williamson

Stick around, I'll pull the memo for you, I'm kind of busy now.

Shelley Levene

The check's no good? They're nuts?

Williamson

Call the bank. I called them four months ago, when we first got the lead. They're insane, Shelly. They just like talking to salesmen.

Shelley Levene

Don't.

Williamson

Hehe... I'm sorry.

Shelley Levene

Why?

Williamson

Because I don't like you.

Shelley Levene

My daughter.

Williamson

**** you.

Williamson

I'm giving you three leads...

Ricky Roma

Three? I count two.

Williamson

There's three leads there.

Ricky Roma

"Patel"? **** you. **** Shiva handed this guy a million dollars, said "Sign the deal!" he wouldn't sign. And the god Vishnu too. **** you, John! You know your business, I know mine. Your business is being an asshole. I find out whose **** cousin you are, I'm going to go to him and figure out a way to have your a - **** You! I'm waiting for the new leads.

Ricky Roma

All train compartments smell vaguely of shit. It gets so you don't mind it. That's the worst thing that I can confess. You know how long it took me to get there? A long time. When you die you're going to regret the things you don't do. You think you're ****? I'm going to tell you something: we're all ****. You think you're a thief? So what? You get befuddled by a middle-class morality? Get shut of it. Shut it out. You cheated on your wife? You did it, live with it. You **** little girls, so be it. There's an absolute morality? Maybe. And then what? If you think there is, then be that thing. Bad people go to hell? I don't think so. If you think that, act that way. A hell exists on earth? Yes. I won't live in it. That's me. You ever take a dump made you feel like you'd just slept for twelve hours?

Blake

A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing, always be closing.

Williamson

The leads are coming!

Shelley Levene

Get 'em to me!

Williamson

I talked to Mitch and Murray an hour ago. They're coming in, you understand. They're a bit upset about this morning's...

Shelley Levene

Did you tell 'em about my sale?

Williamson

How could I tell them about your sale? I don't even have a teleph - I'll tell them about your sale when they bring in the leads, all right? Shelley, all right? You closed a deal. Fine. You made a good sale, fine.

Shelley Levene

It's better than a good sale. It's...

Williamson

Look, I have a lot on my mind right now. They're coming in, all right? They're very upset, I'm trying to make some sense...

Shelley Levene

I'm telling you - the one thing you can tell them is that it's a remarkable sale.

Williamson

The only thing 'remarkable' about it is who you made it to.

Shelley Levene

What the **** does that mean?

Williamson

That if the sale sticks, it'll be a miracle.

Shelley Levene

What does that mean? Why would it not... Oh, **** you. You do not know your job. That's what I'm saying. You do not know your job. That's what I'm saying. A man IS his job and you are **** at yours.

Ricky Roma

**** you Dave, you know you got a big mouth. You make a close, the whole place stinks of your farts for a week. The amount you just ingested. Oh what a big man you are! "Hey, let me buy you a pack of gum - I'll show you how to chew it," ooh. Your pal closes and all that comes out of your mouth is bile. How **** up you are!

Ricky Roma

Patel? Ravadem Patel? How am I gonna make a livin' on these deadbeats? Where did you get this one from the morgue?

Williamson

Look I'm...

Ricky Roma

Oh come on, what's the point? What's the **** point in any case I gotta argue with you, I gotta knock heads with the cops, I'm busting my balls sell your dirt to deadbeats. [waves the lead]

Ricky Roma

Money in the mattress.

Ricky Roma

Come on. You're eating her crumbcake.

Shelley Levene

Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm eating her crumbcake.

Ricky Roma

How was it?

Shelley Levene

Uh, from the store.

Ricky Roma

**** her.

Blake

And to answer your question, pal, why am I here? I came here because Mitch and Murray asked me to. They asked me for a favor. I said the real favor, follow my advice and fire your **** ass because a loser is a loser.

George Aaronow

When I talk to the police I get nervous.

Ricky Roma

Yes. You know who doesn't?

George Aaronow

Who?

Ricky Roma

Thieves. Always tell the truth, George; it's the easiest thing to remember.

Dave Moss

We don't gotta sit here and listen to this.

Blake

You certainly don't, pal, 'cause the good news is—you're fired.

Shelley Levene

A man IS his job and you are **** at yours.
