Risky Business quotes

Page 1 of 3

Hey Joel! Here's to your future as a businessman. 'Cause God knows, you're gonna need it.

Joel, you look like a smart kid. I'm going to tell you something I'm sure you'll understand. You're having fun now, right? Right, Joel? The time of your life. In a sluggish economy, never ever **** with another man's livelihood. Now, if you're smart, and I hope you are, you're not gonna make me come back here.

Porsche Service Manager

Who's the U-Boat Commander?

[about some girls walking by]

Sublime breasts.

Joel
[laughing]

They're what kind of breasts?

Sublime breasts!

Are you stoned?

Joel

No. I do not believe so.

I think you're really wasted!

Joel

This is not wasted, Barry. This is definitely not wasted...Barry? I'm a little wasted!

I know.

Joel

Don't let me do anything stupid.

Don't worry.

I can't believe Glenn bringing Statwiler over like that.

Joel

Why?

Because he boffed Hendricks last week!

Joel

He did?

Yes! And after the game on Saturday, he **** her.

Joel

Barry?

What?

Joel

Boffing and **** are the same thing.

They are?

Joel
[laughing]

Yes. What did you think it was?

I thought it was something else. You're sure on this?

Joel

I'm positive.

Shit!

Bill Rutherford

You've done some very solid work here, but it isn't quite lvy League, is it?

Joel

You know, Bill, there's one thing I learned in all my years. Sometimes you have to say "What the ****." Make your move.

Bill Rutherford

I beg your pardon?

So, how are we doing?

Joel

Looks like University of Illinois!

My cousin went into dermatology. First year, over 80 grand!

Just for squeezing zits?

Why don't you try it, Barry? You have the experience.

Thank you, you're very kind.

[on the phone]

Time of your life, huh, kid?

Joel

Where's Lana?

Maybe she's on the choo-choo. I hear she's got this thing about choo-choos.

Joel

I want to know who took my stuff.

I took your stuff, Joel, are you kidding?

Joel

Then you listen to me, buster! You a-hole! If I don't get my stuff back... [Guido hangs up] Shit!

[Joel calls back]

A-hole?

Joel

I want my furniture back right now.

Now, you listen to me.

Joel

No, no! You listen to me! [Guido hangs up] Shit!

[Joel calls back]

This is getting boring.

Joel

Can I have my furniture back? Please?

You listen to me, you little ****! You not only took my two best girls, you call me names and insult me!

Joel

I'm sorry.

If I had any self-respect, it wouldn't just be the furniture, it would be your legs! Your arms! Your head! Do we understand each other?

Joel

Yes, we do.

No! Do we understand each other?

Joel

Yes, we understand each other.

Well, you're lucky in one respect.

Joel

What's that?

I like you, Joel. Don't you know that?

Jackie

Joel, be a courageous person. Open the door! That way, you see, I can call a cab.

Joel

Again, I'm really sorry.

Jackie

As long as we come to an arrangement, I'm in no mood for complaining. I mean, when you put your good money down you gotta get what you wanted in the first place. Know what I mean? When you buy a TV, you don't buy Sony if you want RCA. I know we could get along real well. But, hey! It's your hard-earned money, right? This way, we make an arrangement and everyone is satisfied.

Joel

You had carfare.

Jackie

A long ride. I don't ever come out this far.

Joel

And your time.

Jackie

My time, my effort, my infinite patience and understanding.

Joel

Thank you.

Jackie

75 dollars.

Joel

Fair enough.

Jackie

Joel, I'm going to give you a number. You ask for Lana. It's what you want.

Joel

Thank you.

Jackie

It's what every white boy off the lake wants.

Do you have something to tell me?

Joel

No...I don't think so.

I just got off the telephone with Bill Rutherford. Apparently, you two had quite a meeting. "Princeton can use a guy like Joel."

Joel

What?

"Princeton can use a guy like Joel." His exact words!

Joel

That's unbelievable!

You're as good as in! I knew you could do it! Haven't I been telling you, sometimes you have to say: "What the heck!" Take some chances.

Joel

You were so right.

You've made me very proud.
