The Running Man (2025) quotes, page 3

Hunter leader Evan McCone

They say you run to add life to your days. Not days to your life. I'd say both are pretty **** true.

Hunter leader Evan McCone

Go on. I'll give you a head start.

America. The greatest country in the **** universe. We work hard. And after a long day of busting ass, we get to kick back and feel good. [Scene of a burgling attempt being thwarted] But some don't want to work for that privilege. Oh! Thieves. Trumpsters. Freeloaders. And why should they when they can take it from you? [Burglar appears on game show stage] Welcome to the game where we give three of these tough guys all the freedom they want. [Burglar is now a runner in a cityscape] Biodata erased. No scanners. No trackers. For 30 days, all that stands between these men and millions is you. Record. Report. Reward. With over 10 million new dollars in prizes won, the best audience in the world remains... [Hunter leader Evan McCone launches a bazooka destroying the runner in a downtown street] undefeated! It's the Running Man! And now... [Bobby T appears on stage] our tall, tenacious, trustworthy trailblazer of the truth... Bobby T!

Bobby T

Are you ready to see some runners cry?! [Audience cheers approvingly] And are you ready to see some runners die?! [Audience cheers approvingly]

Catch me if you can, mother****ers! Whoo!

Chief McCone has confirmed. The Hunters have found their man. Things are heating up. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

Ben Richards

**** it. I am the initiator.

Hunter leader Evan McCone

Hey runners. You can't outrun fate. And you cannot hide... from fate. Feeling realiosa. Viewer discretion is advised.

Hey, uh, you're the man, Richards. Never would have made it without you.

Hey, you! Tough guy! Are you man enough to risk it all? Today is your last chance of the year to be on The Running Man! If you can duck the boys in black, the public, and McCone's hunters for 30 days, you'll run away with a billion new dollars!

I always thought this was fake, but... I don't know. Feeling pretty real now. Right, guys?

Ben Richards

In five. Four. Three. Two. One. And action.

Bobby T

Ladies and gentlemen, last night seven men and one woman gave their lives to protect ours. Their love for their country only matched by the love for their children. [Ben says; "Uh oh] Someone chose to end the lives of these eight heroes and that someone was Ben Richards. His new tape just arrived. That's what he has to say about it.

Legend. The network wants you to think that on day 18 of his run, after taking out all five hunters, the longest surviving contestants in season one, committed suicide by surface-to-air missile. The apostle calls bullshit. First of all, they cut to ads six minutes earlier than usual and ran them for twice as long. They must have needed the time to write this fake-ass shit. [Faked footage of Ben threatening viewers] And then they swapped the crowd. Where'd purple shirt guy come from? Season five, episode 13 to be exact. That's how dumb the network thinks we are. Their vile distortions meant none of us knew the truth about what happened on that jet until a revolutionary riot girl found the jet's black box on the roof of her co-op. Her uncle had the audio duped, distributed, and put it on blast. And goddammit did we ever! The network wasn't about to give us the gospel, so we learned how to give it to each other. Ben lit the fuse. And the truth exploded like a nuclear blast before the network even knew it existed. But questions remain about that fateful night. Did the hunters really assassinate Ben's family? Did Killian sell him just the right lie for a bloodbath season finale? And the big one, on everyone's mind, did Ben survive? The apostles' research reveals that one of the flying beams that marked two state-of-the-art safety features was a crew escape pod just about the size of this so-called debris. Did Ben cheat death one last time? The network won't say. But one thing's for sure. He's still here, you shit-eaters.

Ben Richards

No best dog shit, still dog shit.
