Ben Harp quotes from Point Break (1991)

Surfing's the source man... swear to God.

Gentlemen, I promised to take Mrs. Lincoln to Ford's Theater tonight. We'll continue this tomorrow.

Ben Harp

You know nothing. In fact, you know less than nothing. If you knew that you knew nothing, then that would be something, but you don't.

You're about to jump out a perfectly good airplane Jonny, how do you feel about that?

Ben Harp

You're a real blue flame special, aren't you, son? Young, dumb and full of ****, I know. What I don't know is how you got assigned here. Guess we must just have ourselves an asshole shortage, huh?

Johnny Utah

Not so far.

Ben Harp

Special agent Utah. This is not some job flipping burgers at the local drive-in! Yes! - your surfboard bothers me! Yes! - your approach to this whole goddamn case bothers me! And yes! - YOU BOTHER ME!!! And Pappas! Oh, for the love of Christ. How the hell did I even let you talk me into this whole bone-headed idea to begin with?!

Pappas

Harp! We are working under-cover. It takes time. We've produced a few...

Ben Harp

NO, no, no, no, no-no-no-NO! Let me tell you what you've produced... Over the last two weeks, you two have produced exactly SQUAT! SQUAT!!! During which time the Ex-Presidents have robbed two more banks!! Now for Christ's sake, does either one of you have anything even remotely interesting to tell me?

Johnny Utah

I caught my first tube today... sir.

Ben Harp

Goddammit! [pushes them both out]

Pappas

Let me tell you something, Harp. I was in this bureau while you were still popping zits on your funny face and jacking off to the lingerie section of the Sears catalog. But there's something I've learned in all my years...

Ben Harp

Why don't you astonish me, shitbrains.

Pappas

Respect for my elders!

Ben Harp

Do you think that taxpayers would like it, Utah, if they knew that they were paying a federal agent to surf and pick up girls?

Johnny Utah

Babes.

Ben Harp

I beg your pardon?

Johnny Utah

The correct term is "babes", sir.

You think you're real cowboys, huh? Batman and Robin, huh! You know what this is? You know what this is, punk? This is two kilos, uncut, crystal meth!

Pappas

Awwwww, Shit!

Ben Harp

Special agent, Utah! I like you to meet Agent Deets. He was working deep cover until...

You think I like this hair, man! You think I like these clothes? My wife wants me to stay at Ramanda! I've been working on these ****ers for THREE MONTHS! THREE MONTHS! Now I finally got them to play wheel of fortune with me so I could find out who their suppliers is. Then you ****in' cowboys show up!

Pappas

Nice tattoo, Deets!

Oh, you like that Pappas, huh? **** you!

Pappas

Jesus!

All I wanna know, smart guy! All I wanna know is how these guys could be robbin' Tarzana City National on August 2nd when they were in Fort ****in' Lauderdale August 2nd? Why don't you figure that out, huh?

Ben Harp

That's not an easy thing to do, is it, Utah?

****in' jerks!

Pappas

Don't ride him in with the black and whites like some punk, let me ride him in.

Ben Harp

Yeah sure, Angelo, why not? That is why I put you 2 screw-ups to begin with. You deserve each other, don't you? You're just as bad as he is, though you're a little fatter, a little slower and a little more pathetic. For Christ sake, it's like the blind leading the blind with you.

Pappas

Harp, I want to tell you something. I was in this bureau when you were still popping zits on your funny face and jerking off with the lingerie section of the Sears catalog.

Ben Harp

Is that right, Pappas?

Pappas

Yes, that's right "Harp", and out of all these years, I have learned something that you still haven't got.

Ben Harp

Yeah? Why don't you astonish me, shitface?

Pappas

Respect for my elders.
