“Do you know why Americans love guns? And it's got nothing to do with...” – Hammerson, Shoot 'Em Up ... Movie Quotes Database

Hammerson

Do you know why Americans love guns? And it's got nothing to do with all that phallic mumbo-jumbo, "cocking your gun." No, Hertz, people love guns because America is a land of opportunity where a poor man can become rich and a pussy can become a tough guy, if he's got a gun in his hand. Now, I'm hoping you're not just a pussy with a gun in your hand.

Hertz

Oh no, sir, no I am not. No, I'm a tough guy with a pussy in my hand.

Hertz Tell me where the woman and the child are. (grabs Smith's ring finger) Tell me, or I will be forced to cause you...considerable agony. Smith Believe me... nothing could be more agonizing than to listen to you jabberin' on and on. Mr. Hertz I was just remembering a limerick. "There once was a woman who was quite begat. She had three babies named Nat, Pat, and Tat. She said it was fun in the breeding, but found it was hell in the feeding when she saw there was no tit for Tat." You have caused me no end of trouble, but now I shall return the favor. Tit for tat, right? Mr. Hertz Does anyone know what a Jimmy Cagney love scene is? It's when Cagney lets the good guy live. [lobby of henchmen laugh] And if that happens in this show, I'm gonna do a lot more than ask for my money back.
