Dwight McClusky quotes from Natural Born Killers (1994)

Dwight McClusky

Dwight McClusky. Welcome to hell.

Reporter

Do you have anything to say to your fans?

Mickey

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Mickey

But I came to the direction I need a gun. So, the next day I started off early for work, and I'm gonna stop by a gun shop and pick up a little home protection. I walked into the place and had never seen so many guns in all my life. So, I'm looking around, then this really nice sales guy comes up to me. His name was Warren. I'll never forget his name. He was really nice. Anyway, Warren showed me all these different models of guns. Magnums, automatics, pistols, Walters. And I ask to see a shotgun. He brings me a Mossberg pump action shotgun. As soon as I held that baby in my hands, I knew what I was gonna do. It felt so good. It felt like it was a part of me. They had a mirror in the store. I looked at myself holding it, and looked so **** good, I immediately bought it. Bought a bunch of boxes of ammo. Turned my car around, drove to Mallory's house, we took care of Mallory's parents, packed up the car, and we were off. Everybody thought I'd gone crazy. The cops, my mom, everybody. But you see, they all missed the point of the story. I wasn't crazy. But when I was holding the shotgun, it all became clear. I realized for the first time my one true calling in life.

Wayne Gale

What's that?

Mickey

I'm a natural born killer.

Wayne Gale

So tell me. How can you look at an ordinary person, an innocent guy with kids, and then shoot him to death? I mean, how can you bring yourself to do that?

Mickey

Innocent? Who-who's innocent, Wayne? Are you innocent?

Wayne Gale

I'm innocent? Yes, I am. Of murder? Definitely.

Mickey

It's just murder. All God's creatures do it. You look in the forests and you see species killing other species, our species killing all species including the forests, and we just call it industry, not murder. But I know a lot of people who deserve to die.

Wayne Gale

Why do they deserve to die?

Mickey

I believe they got something in their past, some sin, some awful secret thing. A lot of people walking around out there already dead. They just need to be put out of their misery. That's where I come in. Fate's messenger.

Wayne Gale

You just said an instant of purity was preferable to a lifetime of lies. I don't understand. What's so pure about forty-eight dead bodies?

Mickey

You'll never understand. Me and you, Wayne, we're not even the same species. I used to be you … then I evolved. From where you're standing, you're a man. From where I'm standing, you're an ape. I'm here … I'm right here … and you … you're somewhere else, man. You say, why? I say, why bother?

Warden!

Dwight McClusky

Yes! What is it, Natapundi?

Napalatoni!

Dwight McClusky

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR **** NAME IS!

Mickey and Mallory Knox are loose, Scagnetti's dead, and they're live on national TV!

Dwight McClusky

LIVE ON NATIONAL TV? JESUS HAROLD CHRIST ON A **** RUBBER CRUTCH, IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?

Dwight McClusky

Just how far do you think you're gonna get?

Mickey

Right out the front door!

Dwight McClusky

THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!

Mickey

It IS happenin'.

Dwight McClusky

I will personally hunt you down, blow the head off your **** whore wife, AND PLANT YOUR SICK ASS IN THE GROUND ALL BY MYSELF!

Mickey

Another day, perhaps, but not today!
