30 quotes Marv Marv [During his execution]
Will you get a move on, I haven't got all night.
Marv Lucille's my parole officer. She's a ****, but God knows why. With that body of hers she could have any man she wants.
Marv I'm on my feet for about ten minutes before the cops kick them out from under me. They don't ask me any questions. They just keep knocking the crap out of me and waving a confession in my face. And I keep spitting blood all over it and laughing at how many fresh copies they come up with. Then along comes this worm assistant district attorney who turns the recorder off and says if I don't sign their confession, they'll kill my mom. I break his arm in three places and I sign it.
Marv He never screams. Not even when the mutt's had its fill. Kevin's guts are lying all over the place and somehow the bastard is still alive still staring at me. Not even when I grab the saw and finish the job, he never screams.
Marv I've been framed for murder and the cops are in on it. But the real enemy, the son of a bitch who killed the angel lying next to me, he's out there somewhere, out of sight, the big missing piece that'll give me how and the why and a face and a name and a soul to send screaming into hell.
Marv Guess when I shot you in the belly, I aimed a little too high. [Shoots him in the crotch]
Marv The night is hot as hell. I'm in a lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy town. I'm staring at a goddess, she's telling me she wants me. I'm not going to waste one more second wondering how I've gotten so lucky...She smells like angels oughta smell. The perfect woman. The goddess.
Marv I don't know about you, but I'm having a ball.[while dragging a man across the road by his face with a car]
Marv Walk down the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything...
Marv I'll stare the bastard in the face as he screams to God, and I'll laugh harder when he whimpers like a baby. And when his eyes go dead, the hell I send him to will seem like heaven after what I've done to him.
Marv That there is one damn fine coat you're wearin'. [repeated on several occasions]
Marv Aww, Jerks! They should've shot me in the head...and enough times to make sure.
Marv I love hitmen. No matter what you do to them, you don't feel bad.
Marv This is blood for blood, and by the gallons! This is the old days, the bad days, the all-or-nothing days! They're back!
Marv Worth dying for. [gunshot] Worth killing for. [gunshot] Worth going to hell for. [final gunshot] Amen. [said while shooting the priest in a church]
Marv Modern cars — they all look like electric shavers.
Marv When you got a condition, it's bad to forget your medicine.
Marv I was pretty steamed about what he had done to Lucille, so I took my time with that son of a bitch. It wasn't until I showed him all of those pieces of himself that he gave me a name.
Marv Patrick Henry Roark. A man of the cloth. Could've become president but chose to serve God, and along the way just happened to become one of the most powerful men in the state. He's brought down mayors and govenors like they were nothin'. Even made his rotten brother a US senator. And now here he's gonna die in the name of a dead hooker. More and more I like the sound of it.
Marv Then it hits me like a kick in the nuts: What if I'm wrong? I've got a condition. I get confused sometimes. What if I've imagined all this? What if I've finally turned into what they've always said I'd turn into? A maniac. A psycho killer.
Marv Can't kill a man unless you know for sure you ought to.
Marv I know it's pretty damn weird to eat people.
Marv I got 'em good for you, didn't I, Goldie?
Marv [Last words]
Is that the best you can do, you pansies?
Marv She says her name is Goldie.
Marv It's beautiful Goldie, it's just like I said it would be, only better And when his eyes go dead, the hell I sent him to must seem like heaven after what I've done to him.
Marv The cops- they're telling me too much. showing up before anybody but me and the killer could know there's been a murder. somebody paid good money for this frame. No reason at all to play it Quiet. No reason to play it anyway but my way.
Marv Well, i'm gonna find that son of a bitch that killed you, and i'm gonna give him the hard Goodbye.
Marv Dames! Sometimes all they got to do is let it out- and a few buckets later, you'd never know.

Cardinal Roark Will that bring you satisfaction, my son? Killing a helpless, old, fart.
Marv Killing? No. No satisfaction. Everything up until the killing, will be a gas.
Marv I had to fight some cops.
Oh, that's lovely. You didn't happen to kill any of them, did you?
Marv Not that I know of, but they know they been in a fight, that's for damn sure.
You sat there and took it... when you could've taken my gun away from me any time you wanted to...
Marv Sure, but I thought I might be able to talk some sense into you. And I probably would've had to paste you one, getting the gun and I don't hurt girls.
Marv Wait a minute. Why'd she call you Wendy?
Because that's my name, you ape. Goldie was my sister, my twin sister.
Marv I guess she was the nice one.
Marv There's no settling down. It's going to be blood for blood and by the gallons. It's the old days. The bad days. The all-or-nothing days. They're back. There's no choices left and I'm ready for war.
Prison was hell for you, Marv. It'll be life this time.
Marv Hell? You don't know what hell is. None of you people do. Hell isn't getting beat up or cut up or hauled in front of some **** jury. Hell is waking up every god damn morning and not knowing why you're even here. Why you're even breathing.
Marv Hey, there is no settling down. This is blood for blood and by the gallons! It's the good old days! The bad days! The all-or-nothing days! They're back! There's no choices left and I'm ready for war.
Prison was hell for you, Marv. It'll be life this time.
Marv Hell is waking up every goddamn day and not even knowing why you're here. But I'm out now. It took someone who was kind to me, getting killed to do it. But I'm out and I know exactly what I got to do.
