The Running Man (2025) quotes, page 5

Ben Richards

More than enough... to burn this building down and everyone in it! How small... does your dick have to be, to sit out there? **** you!

Ben Richards

Hey, Jim. How do you like this energy wine? I'm a big fan. Love it. How about you, Bill? That's pretty much my favorite thing, Jim. So, uh, guys. You mind if I ask you a personal question? Why do we all have the same voice? [Looks at watch to read "MAIL YOUR TAPE"]Relax, Ben. Mail later. [Referring to Running Man hunter disguised as a ranting schizophrenic homeless man in alley] Good to see you too, Frank. Give it a rest, Frank. At least you got someone to talk to. Damn, son.

Ben Richards

There's something you all need to know. I laughed my ass off smoking those goons! And I wasn't just laughing at the screams! I was laughing at their kids! Now you know how it felt when daddy did it to someone else! Bring them all on!

Ben Richards

For all you watching, not the execs. Not the technicos. If you live in a tower uptown, I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to the people in the co-ops. The ones who can't get a job. The squatter tribes. The kids getting shot for looking at a goon the wrong way. There's something you all need to know. The network is giving our kids cancer and they are covering it up.

Bobby T

Our first runner hails from right here in Co-Op City. Ben Richards! [Ben is forcedly led onto stage by two guards] A healthy 35-year-old man who thinks he's too good to work for a living. [Audience jeers] Mr. Richards' last job was a full-time position at DefenseNet. Until he spilled military secrets to a commie union he's not even in. [Audience jeers and Ben enragedly confirms it as "bullshit", and Bobby turns to Ben] Come on, that's showbiz kid, chill out. That's right! [to audience] He bit the hand that feeds him, because that's what dogs do! [Audience jeeringly calls out "traitor"] Remember that face? You win 3,000 new dollars... for a verified report and 10,000... if it leads to a kill. We've doubled the prizes for the last one of the season. Because when the stakes go up... [audience unisonly declares; "the stakes go down!"] And the stakes be high. Because the thousands he wins... goes to his wife, Sheila. [A promiscuously faked Sheila appears on screen behind Ben] A night witch... who only takes the biggest tips... at the Libertine. [Ben enragedly declares it as a fake and calls Bobby a liar struggling against guards] If you comprendo my innuendo. Abandoned by Richards. It's up to her now. To raise the tragic... kin of their sin. [Dan gives Ben both thumbs up] What's that? I think it's time for... [audience unisonly declares; "famous last words and Bobby walks up to Ben"] Well, Mr. Richards. Come on, can we hear it? [Puts hand on shoulder of and leans on Ben's guard and holds microphone to Ben] Do you have any famous... last words? [Ben glances over at Dan and enragedly curses at Dan, with Dan dismissively waving off Ben] How long do you think you'll last? [Ben threatens to burn down the building and questions the penis size of the audience, Ben is led off stage] Holy shit! Save it for the run! Oh, shit!

Dan Killian

You got one job out there. Say what's on your mind. You're feeling angry, violent, aggrieved. Don't think before you speak. That's for pussies. Go off. Curse. Shake your dick at the crowd. It's all good Free-Vee.

Dan Killian

There it is! The new colosseum!

Agent Dugg

I'm agent Dugg. Your family alliance liaison. [Puts away badge] Family alliance is the network's premium private security service. It's included in your contract. No point in winning all that jack just to get your people robbed and killed. [Ben glances over concernedly] We'll relocate the fam. Put them under an assumed name. That's the one thing you won't have to worry about. [Leaves elevator with Ben] You have one call. To the wife. Let her know we'll be there in the morning. [Ben claims he needs to give the cash envelope tonight and promises to be back] No one comes back. [Gestures down hallway with portraits of past contestants] I gotta lock you in a really nice apartment. [Ben states he has a sick kid] I'll deliver it now and bring back her receipt.

Agent Dugg

Showtime. Let's roll. [Walking down hall with Ben] Wrist. [Ben holds out wrist and Dugg wraps band around it] Here's your running band. You're gonna use it for timers, reminders, and rewards. [Ben is in elevator with two guards and it closes] Good luck down there.

Bobby T

Depraved! Demonic! Deceased! What havoc will the remaining runners wreak? Tune in and find out. Next stop, rich and bold, it's those Americanos.

Are we ready for Bobby T?! This is the kind of energy I want all night long, everybody! [Starts a hyping up chanting spell of Bobby T with audience]

Ben Richards

Those goons are going to frag us if you don't back this car up right now!

Dan Killian

our fury at the injustice of the world has stopped you from reaching your full potential. But now, that anger is your superpower. Embrace it!

Ben Richards

You say anything, I will kill you so fast your mom won't even wake up.

Ben Richards

Don't worry. Daddy's not that crazy.
