The Peanut Butter Falcon 2019 quotes

Carl

You put this all over your body. It's soap. It'll make you slippery. I was an engineer before. I don't know if I ever told you that. But that's as good as I could get. You just slip through there, and off you go on your way. Okay, bud?

Zak

Carl, you are my best friend. And... and you are my family.

Carl

Well, that's it. Friends are the family you choose.

Zak

And, Carl? You are invited to my birthday party.

Carl

Oh, God. Thank you. I'm there. [Hugs Zak deeply] Go kick some ass.

You know, certain things, it take years to learn. Like how to fall without hurting yourself. But then that stuff just comes with time. As you don't do the same move-

Sam

It takes time.

Yeah, it takes time, but as long as you don't do the same move in the same bout, you're good to go. You look real.

Zak

Oh, yeah, and I'm totally ready to do this.

You want to fight for real?

Zak

Yeah. For real-match.

For real?

Zak

Yeah.

You want to do a match?

Zak

Oh. Oh, yeah, seriously. Yeah. I love it.

That's great.

Sam

I don't think he's ready.

Oh, lookit, he can't be out here practicing all the time. He did great today. We can set that up. I mean, there's a card in Jacob's backyard tomorrow. I mean, you're fighting on that card.

Sam

Yeah.

Okay. Y'all two can fight.

Tyler

Hey! That's outstanding! A real match! [Pats Zak's shoulders] You want to fight Samson?

Zak

Hell, yeah.

Sam

Good.

Zak

Yes, I do. Tomorrow.

Tyler

Oh, man! Yeah, take on Sam.

Zak

Yo, um, please, don't mess with the Peanut Butter Falcon.

Peanut Butter Falcon in the house.

Eleanor

I see a problem here. Seems a bit soon.

Sam

He's great! Really!

Yeah! I'm going to be there! He's going to take care of him. It'll be like dancing.

Sam

Oh, yeah.

Sam? Really?

Sam

Yeah.

Oh, come on, man. He's in, he's in. He's grumpy. He's in. Just let him lead, huh? All right, yeah.

You pulled my pots? Huh? You stealing crab now?

Come on Dunc'!

I've been laying pots for years. Powell's Point was Mark's, but Mark is gone.

Can't lay traps here no more.

Well, I guess taking shit that don't belong to you runs in the family, you know.

You bitch.

You got no license now. You know how things are done around here, Tyler. There's ten crabbing licenses to go around Deer County.

Put them hands on him Dunc'! Get him!

This used to belong to Mark, but now it says Duncan- [Tyler punches Duncan who gut kicks Tyler knocking him to the ground with Ratboy kicking Tyler]

Kick him again, Duncan!

You owe me twenty pots. Touch my gear again, I shit you not, I'll bash your skull in with a tire iron!

You hear that?! You can't fish, and you sure as shit can't fight! You're still doing accounting! [Kicks sand in Tyler's face and walks away]

Eleanor

Ahem. So how far is it, um... on the raft?

Tyler

About that far on the map.

Eleanor

Are your fingers to scale?

Tyler

Yeah.

Eleanor

So how much time is that much?

Tyler

That's different than what I put up.

Eleanor

All right.

Tyler

What I did is about a day. Maybe two days.

Eleanor

Days? Like..

Tyler

Yeah.

Eleanor

Okay. [Checks phone] Are you kidding? What in the Christ... Hey, Zak, why don't you sit down, bud. You're kind of close to the edge. I don't want you to fall in. Hey, are you hungry? Have you eaten anything?

Zak

I am not really hungry.

Eleanor

Well, maybe you just have a bite of something for your blood sugar.

Tyler

He don't want nothing to eat.

Eleanor

You know how you get, buddy. I have an apple.

Tyler

Hey.

Eleanor

I have some M&M's. What?

Tyler

Don't do that.

Eleanor

Don't do what?

Tyler

Hey, I got an idea. Why don't we keep your training going? Just because we're on a raft doesn't mean we can't stop training, does it? All right, so we're going to do some breathing exercises. She's worried about your blood sugar. We're gonna breathe. Take a deep breath in. Out. Cool. Now, come over here and put your head underwater. I'm gonna time you.

Eleanor

What? No, no, no, don't do that. Zak.

Tyler

No. He can do that. He can do that. He can... there you go. [To Eleanor] You better stop calling him a ****.

Eleanor

I have never called anyone a... that word.

Tyler

Okay. Hold on, listen. When people are saying he's a ****, really what they're saying is he can't do some shit they can do. See, you might not be saying the word "****", all right, I'll give you that, but you damn sure is making him feel ****. That ain't gonna help his life. [Zak resurfaces] Hey, there we go.

Zak

Time. How long is that?

Tyler

Long.

Eleanor

Not long enough, Zak. Do it again.

Zak

Okay. [Puts head underwater]

Eleanor

You have got some real nerve talking to me like that. Do you even know what I do? I've spent the last two years of my life volunteering to hold people's hands as they pass away. I talk to them, I feed them, I wipe their asses, I change their clothes, I put them to bed. And I'm the last person they see. Don't act like you know jack shit about me.

Tyler

All right.

Eleanor

Yeah, maybe he should not be in a retirement home, but I didn't choose that for him. But, that's what's happened and now I am doing the best I can.

Tyler

Oh! Oh! Hey! Oh, shit! Oh! God! Zak! [Starts pounding fish's head on the platform] Okay! Yeah! Lunch!

Eleanor

Zak, did you just catch that with your hands?! How'd you do that?! You're a wild man! Oh my god!

Eleanor

Zak. [Sees bent window bars] Shit. Carl.

Carl

What?

Eleanor

Explain. What happened?

Carl

Don't look at me. You were with the boy every day. He's incredibly strong.

Eleanor

What?

Lee wants to see your ass in his office right now. We are so screwed.

Eleanor

I'm not done with you.

Carl

I had nothing to do with it.

Eleanor

Zak. Zak. Zak. Oh my god. Zak, are you okay? Oh my god.

Tyler

Hello! Hey!

Eleanor

Come on, sit up.

Tyler

You found us. Them pheromones. Like a bear.

Eleanor

What is this? What's on your face?

Tyler

Yeah!

Eleanor

I thought you said you hadn't seen him! He's right there.

Tyler

There he is.

Eleanor

Come on buddy. Let's go. Come on. Thank you.

Tyler

No, we're good. You're good right there. Sit right there. He's all right.

Eleanor

Okay, I don't know what's going on, but, uh...

Tyler

Put that on, Zak. Here brother. I've got it.

Eleanor

Thank you.

Tyler

He could do it. He could put his own shirt on. He's 22 years old.

Eleanor

Thank you. I've got it. We're good now.

Tyler

Huh.

Eleanor

Here you go bud. You ready? You good to go? you okay?

Zak

Ah, my ankle.

Eleanor

What? What...

Tyler

He's fine

Eleanor

What happened to his ankle? What's wrong with his ankle?

Tyler

Nothing's wrong.

Eleanor

What are you doing?

Tyler

What are you doing?

Eleanor

Who are you even?

Tyler

Who are you even?

Eleanor

You have a young boy with Down syndrome in the middle of nowhere.

Tyler

I'm the one who's been taking care of him because you can't do it unless you put him in a cage.

Eleanor

Okay, um. Look, he needs to be properly take care of, and that's my job. I'm sorry to break up your primitive little gang, or whatever's going on, but this is not Lord of the Flies. Okay, you can't. There's rules, regulations. Medication. Paperwork.

Tyler

. Yeah. All right. Well, while you've been doing paperwork, we've been something called living, ain't that right, brother?

Zak

Yeah.

Eleanor

Okay. Cool. [Tyler chuckles] But we're gonna go, so, thank you.

Tyler

No, we're not. He's fine where he is.

Eleanor

May I please speak to you in private?

Tyler

Oh. Oh, like, a private party? Yeah, all right.

Eleanor

One second, Zak.

Tyler

I got water. You want water?

Eleanor

Right now.

Tyler

"Primitive gang". Hell yeah. [To Eleanor] I like when you put your hair up like that. It's nice. Water?

Eleanor

Look, I could have you arrested for kidnapping, okay?

Tyler

Oh, you're going to have me arrested? How- how do you figure? You can't have me arrested. He's a runaway. Can't kidnap a runaway. Come on, genius. You said GW, didn't you?

Eleanor

I'm sure I could find some reason to arrest you.

Tyler

Hey, let me ask you, what do you want for him?

Eleanor

I'm not going to sell him to you.

Tyler

No, I mean what do you want for his life? His future?

Eleanor

Why are you- you don't know anything about him.

Tyler

You know about the wrestling?

Eleanor

Yes, of course I know about the wrestling.

Tyler

All right, so I know something about him, don't I? So, uh, you're a little late to the party. This is what's going on. I made a promise to him, to get him to that wrestling school in Ayden.

Eleanor

Oh.

Tyler

You understand? I gave him my word, and I ain't gonna back down on my word. [Zak sees Eleanor's van keys and takes it] Now, you seem like a nice person. You care for him and all. You came all the way out here. Maybe it's because you like me. I don't know. Yeah? And, uh, Imma offer you a favor. You can get on the raft with us and you can ride down there if you want.

Eleanor

No. No, we're not going to hop on your little raft and cruise around the river.

Tyler

It's hot. You're confused. I'm not asking you.

Zak

Hey, Eleanor! [Throws van keys into water]

Eleanor

Oh! Ooh! Oh! Oh.

Zak

I want to see Salt Water Redneck. And I don't want to go home.

Eleanor

Zak. Zak. Look.

Zak

Florida. We are in Florida. [Pats Tyler in backseat] We... we are here in Florida! We made it!

Eleanor

Hi, sir. Sorry to bother you. I'm wondering if you've seen this young man. [Holds up Zak's picture]

Jasper

I ain't seen shit, girl.

Eleanor

I... I apologize. Um... maybe have you... have you heard him? Have you heard his voice?

Jasper

God-fearing?

Eleanor

Sometimes.

Jasper

Well, good. You can come on in here and let's talk about Jesus.

Eleanor

Maybe, it's...

Tyler

Let me see.

Eleanor

Maybe it's not the right place.

Tyler

This is the right place, 5-3-0. Yeah, this is it. [Camera reveals a semi-rundown trailer with Tyler going up to the door]

Jesus Christ. Who are you?!

Tyler

You're Salt Water Redneck?

What is this?!

Tyler

I'm sorry, is this the wrestling school?

Whose asking?

Tyler

My name's Tyler. I ain't selling nothing to you. You see that boy back there?

Yeah.

Tyler

Yeah, so, we done, uh... we done some hard trailing to get to you. It's a big deal seeing you here. You mind waving to him? He's got a lot riding on him. You mind just waving to him?

How you doin'?

Zak

Hey.

Tyler

You don't teach no wrestling school here no more?

I closed that ten years ago.

Tyler

Did you? So I promised him he would do this one thing. You know, this wrestling thing. And he told me about this school here in Ayden. And we... we had a big journey to get here. And, uh... now I gotta break his heart, you know? And I don't really know what to say to him. But that ain't your shit, you know? I don't mean to bring shit to your doorstep or nothing like that. What's your name?

Clint. It's Clint.

Tyler

It's nice to meet you.

So... he used to be a fan?

Tyler

Oh, man, shit, you're his hero. He believes in you. That's a hard thing to do, believe in something, you know? Hey Zak!

Zak

Yeah.

Tyler

This is Clint! Hey, come up here. You mind if he comes up and says hi?

Zak

Hey Clinton.

That'd be alright.

Tyler

Hey pal, Salt Water don't live here no more. But, uh, Clint's a regular guy, just like me or you. He wanted to shake your hand.

Zak

Hey. How are you doing?

Good. Nice to meet you.

Zak

Thanks.

Tyler

All right, thanks, partner. Come on, bub. Nice to meet you, Clint.

Eleanor

Hi, Glen. Yeah. Yes, I have him. I... he is sitting right next to me. No, he's... he's fine. Uh, he was alone. Yeah. Hmm-mm. There's no need to send anybody. I've got it. What? No, Glen, that's not... I'm... No. Cherry Hill is a place where they send drug addicts and prostitutes, not Zak. Yes, I did know I labeled him a flight risk, but I just think he might be better suited in an... I... I understand what you're... okay. [Hangs up]

Zak

Boo-yeah!

Eleanor

Okay, yeah, no, I get it. Okay, schedule his processing for tomorrow afternoon then. [Susan, a heavy set middle aged waitress comes over]

Oh, you mighty thirsty. Here you go. Can I get you anything else, hon?

Eleanor

No, I'm... actually, do you know who the Salt Water Redneck is?

Oh, everybody around here knows Salt Water. He used to be a celebrity.

Eleanor

Do you know where he lives?

Oh, hell yeah, continental breakfast. Hmm-mm, listen, I, I gotta go. All right. Bye. [Hangs up and says to Eleanor] A flight risk?

Eleanor

Yeah, I...

Looks like all that family money of yours bought you a degree that didn't get you no common sense.

Eleanor

I don't think that.

Oh, don't speak. You let a half-naked boy with Down syndrome who has no money, no family, and no idea how to get along in this world just slip out from under your nose into thin air. And you have no idea where he is? Where he's at? Who he might be with?

Eleanor

Actually, I...

The nurses tell me you two are close.

Eleanor

We are.

Then you'll figure out where he's at and you'll bring him before I have to report this to the state.

Eleanor

No, Glen, you have to report this. He's missing.

Find him.

Well, hey, there, Zak.

Zak

How are you doing?

I'm good, thank you.

Zak

Hmm, I meant your pudding.

Oh, silly me. Here's your pudding. [Puts it on Zak's tray]
...

Eleanor

Hey Zak, that is so sweet of you to give Rosemary your pudding.

Zak

That is why I'm being a nice guy. [Eleanor walks away] Now. [Eleanor feigns choking and Zak make a break for it and is immediately tackled by rest home staff]

Tyler

End of the road. You know my name?

Zak

No.

Tyler

Good. This never happened okay?

Zak

Okay.

Tyler

Okay.

Zak

Hey. Can I come with you?

Tyler

Why would I need you to come with me?

Zak

Maybe we could be friends. And buddies. And bro dawgs. And hang. And chill. Have a good time.

Tyler

Be good.

Tyler

We got three options for lunch today. We can boil water from the sound, make a little chowder, huh?

Zak

Hmm-mm.

Tyler

Plain fish?

Zak

Hmm-mm.

Tyler

Fish with peanut butter?

Zak

Fish with peanut butter!

Tyler

Hey! You got to give him what he wants then. Here, go ahead. Load up.

Eleanor

Oh, just right on there.

Tyler

There you go. Right on there. You want a big piece or small piece?

Eleanor

That's good. That's great.

Tyler

If you fold it, you can make a little taco.

Eleanor

Okay, that's nice.

Tyler

Yeah. That's a good bite. That's good, huh?

Eleanor

Five stars.

Tyler

You hear that? [Does handshake motions with Zak] Bang. Boom.

Eleanor

What is that?

Zak

That is our special handshake. Yeah. That. Is our special thing.

Tyler

Yeah.

Eleanor

I want to have a special handshake.

Tyler

It's only for special shit.

Eleanor

Like what kind of special shit?

Zak

I don't know. Go ahead.

Tyler

No, you tell her. You brought it up.

Zak

Um...

Tyler

Talk about the boat.

Zak

Oh, uh. We did... hit by a boat. Almost.

Eleanor

You... you got hit by a boat?

Tyler

Almost.

Eleanor

What happened?

Tyler

We almost got run over by a shrimp boat.

Eleanor

What?

Tyler

Yeah.

Zak

And we did... the shotgun.

Tyler

Shotgun. Buckshot. He fired a shotgun. And we got shot at, remember?

Zak

Oh yeah. I did remember.

Tyler

You got any money?

Zak

No. No, I have no money and I got no pockets.

Tyler

I'm gonna give you pockets. [Throws cargo shorts to Zak] There's your pockets. I'm going in there to get essentials.

Zak

Can I come?

Tyler

No.
...

Pardon me if I seem alarmed, but I don't normally negotiate with fellas if they got shotguns all over their backs.

Tyler

Oh, shit. [Puts down hiking pack] I understand.

Ooh, thank you.

Tyler

Yeah, your welcome. Hey, you got any of the, uh- you got any of them two-dollar airplane whiskeys back there?

No, but uh, I got this. [Produces a moonshine jug]

Tyler

Oh, I can't afford that.

It's on me, son. It looks like you might need it more than I do. I'm just gonna get a little swig to calm my nerves.

Tyler

Sure, yeah. You made it?

I did, sir.

Tyler

Ooh. Yeah, you did.

Ma'am.

Eleanor

Gentlemen.

Ma'am, you'll have to forgive me for staring at you, but you're one of the prettiest women I've seen in ages.

Tyler

Where did you blow in here from?

Eleanor

Richmond. Hmm-mm.

Tyler

Richmond? That's nice. So you, uh, you graduated JMU, or GW?

Eleanor

GW.

Tyler

Yeah. Yeah, you got that look about you.

Eleanor

Oh, yeah? What look is that?

Tyler

You know, just uh, "excited to be alive" kind of look. What you doing up here?

Eleanor

Your nosy aren't you?

Tyler

Yeah, nosy. That's the word for you it. Nosy. Or interested.

Eleanor

Interested?

Tyler

Yeah. Interested. Are you interested?

Eleanor

No, I'm working.

Tyler

Working. What, you working crab boats?

Eleanor

No.

Tyler

I know, that's funny.

Eleanor

I know why you think that's funny.

Tyler

Oh, your trouble I see. Okay, you don't like jokes.

Eleanor

I'm looking for a missing person. Have either of you gentlemen- I'm assuming I can use the word; "gentlemen".

Tyler

Have you seen him?

No. I aint- I ain't seen him.

Eleanor

Have you seen him?

Tyler

Why? What'd he do?

Eleanor

He ran away from the nursing home I work at. Why? Have you seen him?

Tyler

So you got some kind of reward?

Eleanor

No.

Tyler

What are you? Are you a bounty hunter?

Eleanor

Would I be a bounty hunter if I just said there's no bounty?

Tyler

No. What are you, his sister? Minder or something?

Eleanor

Not that it's any of your business, but I care about him and he's alone, and I want to find him.

Tyler

Maybe.

Eleanor

Maybe? Maybe what?

Tyler

Yeah, yeah. Well, maybe he's alone. Maybe he ain't alone. You know, you don't know. What if he's living the American dream and, you know, he just, uh, ran into a bunch of hitchhikers? You know, like the Mark Twain story or something?

Eleanor

Hmm-mm. [She begins to walk away]

Tyler

You like Mark Twain?

Eleanor

Thank you.

Tyler

You like Louie L'Amour? You got a good phone number?

Eleanor

Yeah, I got a phone number.

Tyler

Yeah? You gonna give it to me? So I find him, what you want me to do? Just holler for you?

Eleanor

Yeah, just do that.

Tyler

Yeah? You got a name?

Eleanor

Yeah, I got a name.

Tyler

What is it?

Eleanor

Eleanor.

Tyler

Eleanor. [She gives him the finger and walks out the door] All right partner.

Come back.
...

Tyler

You're a goddamn criminal. You're a goddamn criminal ain't you? Fugitive. Little man on the lam. Met your girlfriend back there, Eleanor. Cute on from the old folks home. She likes you quite a bit. Got a picture of you and everything, showing everybody. That's not a bad thing. As far as I'm concerned, it's a good thing. See, we're going 70 miles upriver. We need a tie that binds. And this right here, you being a wanted man, this is it, just the kind of tie we needed. Hell, yeah. Two bandits on the run. [Shakes Zak's hand upwards] Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah, partner! Come on! Hell, yeah! Listen, we got new rules now, all right? We can't keep doing this way. New rule is, you can't slow me down. you understand? Put these on. [Hands Zak boots] So, what I says go. I say jump, you say; "how high"?

Zak

How high?

Tyler

There it is. Rule number one, don't slow me down. Rule number two, I'm in charge, and you're going to carry your own weight.

Zak

You are in charge.

Tyler

That's right.

Zak

Uh, maybe we should... maybe we should have our own secret handshake.

Tyler

What kind of secret handshake? For what?

Zak

Buds, dudes, friends.

Tyler

Buds-dudes-friends-handshake? All right, come here. Let's go, hurry up. [Zak starts slapping Tyler's hands] All right, three of those, four of those. Four of those. Now what? [They bump fists and mimic explosions] Like that.

Zak

Yeah.

Tyler

Only when special shit happens though, alright?

Zak

Yeah, special things.

Tyler

Special things, you don't curse.

Zak

No.

Tyler

Why don't you curse?

Zak

Because I don't.

Tyler

Okay, come on. [Starts to walk away but Zak stands still]

Zak

You are in charge.

Tyler

Exactly. Come on. [Zak starts walking] Hey, what's rule number one? What's rule number one?

Zak

Party.

Tyler

No, not party. No, it's not party. Don't slow me down. That's rule number one. Let's go, come on. Come on, pick it up. There you go. You got boots on now.

Zak

Rule number one is not "party". What is rule number one?

Tyler

"Don't slow me down". Rule number one?

Zak

You are in charge.

Tyler

All right. We'll figure it out.
