Samantha Barzel quotes from The Mexican (2001)

Samantha Barzel

Real emotion transcends language, Jerry. You don't have to understand their words to feel their pain.

Samantha Barzel

I am a hostage? This is so Jerry.

Jerry

The group thinks we're married. I accepted the potato slicer for our anniversary. Right, sweets? I go along.

Samantha

That's it. That is it. You... You... You go along!

Jerry

Baby, what are you doing?

Samantha

You said this was your last job, Jerry!

Jerry

What do you want me to say? I'm sorry, I can't, the old lady wants me to quit. **** off.

Samantha

Yes! Something like that. Like exactly!

Jerry

I'm not in insurance, sweetie!

Samantha

All right. Jerry, I want you to acknowledge that my needs means nothing to you and you're a selfish prick and a liar.

Jerry

Oh, my God!

Samantha

Jerry, acknowledge.

Jerry

I... Ok. I will acknowledge that I promised to go to Vegas with you. But now we're just slightly delayed. If you want to construe my wanting to stay alive as being selfish, well, then okay. But I have every intention of going with you because your needs are very important to me, sweetheart. Come on. Look at my all my stuff here, all over the pavement. Come on, baby? Huh? What do you say? Ok?

Samantha

I'm going with or without you, Jerry. What's it gonna be? A bastard!

Jerry

A bastard. What happened to, uh, "sweetheart" and "big love" and all those things you called me in the bedroom last night?

Samantha

The only thing I'm interested in calling you, Jerry, is a cab!

Leroy

I know we're all a little grouchy right now. We'll get something to eat, you'll get the pistol and then we'll go our separate ways.

Samantha

Really separate ways.

Jerry

Don't start, Sam.

Samantha

Shut up. I'll start because I have the right...

Jerry

Why do you do that? Do not tell me to shut up. We had an agreement, remember?

Samantha

Shut up.

Leroy

Why don't we all shut up a bit?

Jerry

I swear to God, I will crash this **** car right now.

Leroy

Jerry, don't do that.

Jerry

I will. One more word out of you. Another word, Sam. One more word. I swear to **** God.

Samantha

Naugahyde.

Jerry

All right.

Leroy

I have to ask you a question... and it's an important one so, I want you to think about the answer before you give it to me. Okay?

Samantha

Okay.

Leroy

When two people love each other - Really... Love each other - but they just can't get it together, when do you get to that point where enough is enough?

Samantha

Tha?... oh, well... that's... you know... um... you know it's Over when... okay, I have, like, these psychosomatic, insomniatic manifestations of... uh, well here's the thing about me: I'm a product of my emotions, versus being a product of my environment, like HIM, which he is, exactly, just THAT, environmental... uh uh I need sunshine to grow; that's who I am, and uh with the projection of the... I have goals

Leroy

That's your answer?

Samantha

Yeah.

Leroy

That's not right. I mean, there's a right answer here, but that's not it.

Leroy

Look, in my business you're surrounded by loneliness, and finality. Now I don't care what your take is on an afterlife, when people die, it's scary. And they go alone. Now the people that I send off, that have experienced love, they're a little less scared. I mean they're still scared, but there's... a calmness to 'em, and I think that comes from the knowledge that somebody, somewhere loved 'em, and cared for 'em, and will miss 'em. Now I see that from time to time, and I am awed by it. I don't think I'd be telling you any of this if it wasn't for Frank. Anyway, it's a loaded question. Look, when two people love each other - Totally, TRUTHfully, all the way Love each other - the answer to that question is simple, especially in your case. When do you get to that point where enough is enough? Never... Never.

Samantha

What was that?

Leroy

What?

Samantha

That [points eyes to the right] moment?

Leroy

What? What moment...?

Samantha

Are you gay?

Leroy

As in happy?

Samantha

As in homosexual?

Leroy

What does my sexuality have anything to do with this?

Samantha

You just checked that guy out and had a 'moment'!

Leroy

Don't you love him?

Samantha

I think that's the problem. We love each other too much.

Samantha

Do you have any idea what I have been through these last few days?

Jerry

Oh, Sam, whatever you've been through multiply that by 1000 and you'll have a vague conception of where I'm at.

Samantha

Oh! Oh, isn't that typical, Jerry? It's all a competition. Tit for tat, tat for tit.

Jerry

Stop yelling, for Christ sake! Listen, how are you? Are you ok? Are you all right? Where are you?

Samantha

Toluca airport, Jerry. And things are shitty, really shitty!
