Father Orlov quotes from Lord of War (2005)

Yuri Orlov

Beware of the Dog? You don't have a dog. Are you trying to scare people?

No, it's to scare me. Remind me to be aware of the dog in me. The dog that wants to **** everything that moves, wants to fight and kill weaker dogs. I guess it's to remind me to be more human.

Yuri Orlov

Isn't being a dog part of being human? What if that's the best part of you, the dog part? What if you're really just a two-legged dog?

You need to see somebody.

Is this how you want to be remembered?

Yuri Orlov

I don't want to be remembered at all. That means I'm dead.

Yuri Orlov

Vitaly, stop **** around. I want to talk to you. You read the newspapers, Vit?

Newspaper? It's always the same.

Yuri Orlov

You're right. Every day there's people shooting each other. You know what I do when I see that? I look to see what guns they're using and I think to myself, why not my guns?

Yuri, what the **** do you know about guns?

Yuri Orlov

I know which end I'd rather be on.

What, are you thinking of opening a gun shop?

Yuri Orlov

Already more of those in America than McDonald's. Even with all the gangs around here, the margins are too low.

You've worked out the margins?

Yuri Orlov

I've already made the first sale. We're already in business.

We?

Yuri Orlov

I need a partner.

I don't know, Yuri. I don't know.

Yuri Orlov

Vitaly, I've tasted your borscht. You're no **** chef! I can eat in the restaurant for free and I still don't eat there!

**** you!

Yuri Orlov

We're doing nothing with our lives! I mean, it's a shit! It's a shit! It's a ****!

It's true. But maybe doing nothing's better than doing this.

Hey, Ava knows, right?

Yuri Orlov

I never want to say anything, She doesn't have to know. She understands. She's a survivor, like me.

She may be a survivor, but she's not like you. Really? She doesn't know how you pay for all this?

Yuri Orlov

We don't talk about it. How many car salesman talk about their work? Huh? How many cigarette salesmen? Both their products kill more people every year than mine. At least mine has a safety switch. If those guys can leave their work at the office, so can I.
