Rushmore quotes
Page 1 of 5I always wanted to be in one of your ****in' plays.
Mr. Littlejeans Best play ever, man.
Architect Mr. Blume, how are Ronny and Donny enjoying military school?
They love it.
Lucky bastards.
You're like one of those clipper ship captains. You're married to the sea.
Yes, that's true. [pause] But I've been out to sea for a long time.
Dr. Nelson Guggenheim We're putting you on what we call sudden death academic probation.
And what does that entail?
Dr. Nelson Guggenheim It entails that if you fail another class, you'll be asked to leave Rushmore.
In other words, I'll be expelled.
Dr. Nelson Guggenheim That's correct.
Can I see some documentation on that, please?
Dr. Nelson Guggenheim [Guggenheim hands him his transcript]
Too many extracurricular activities, Max. Not enough studying.
Dr. Guggenheim, I don't want to tell you how to do your job. But the fact is, no matter how hard I try, I still might flunk another class. If that means I have to stay on for a post-graduate year, so be it...
Dr. Nelson Guggenheim - We don't offer a post-graduate year.
Well, we don't offer it yet.
Well, that's because you weren't invited.
I understand you're a neurosurgeon.
No, I'm a barber, but a lot of people make that mistake.
Ernie
What kind of fish?
Barracuda, stingrays, electric eels, trout, hammerheads, piranha, giant squid, octopi...
Piranhas? Really?
Yes, I'm talking to a guy in South America.
Come work for me.
What do you mean?
I mean I-I could use someone like you.
Look, I may not be rich, Mr. Blume, my father may only be a neurosurgeon, but we manage.
Dirk?
I know about you and the teacher.
Does Max know?
No, and I don't want him to know, ever. I just want it to stop right now. You're a married man, Blume. You're supposed to be his friend.
Look Dirk, I am his friend.
Oh yeah, and with friends like you who needs friends? (spits on Herman's car)
How much money do you want?
Max Fisher
Thirty five thousand dollars, for the initial plans.
I'll give you twenty five hundred.
Max Fisher
Okay.
She's my Rushmore.
I know. She was mine too.
So you've changed your mind and you want the job.
No, I've got an idea and I need some money.
