He exists in a world beyond your world. What we only fantasize, he does. He lives a life where nothing is beyond him. But you know what? It's all a facade. For all his charm and charisma, his wealth, his expensive toys... he's a driven, unflinching, calculating machine. He takes what he wants, when he wants... and disappears.
Swordfish quotes
Page 1 of 2Surprised that a girl with an IQ over seventy can give you a hard on?
Nothing is impossible.
Big Stan! Nice suit.
Thanks.
They say it's the suit that makes the man.
Buy it?
Hope not!
Have you ever heard of Harry Houdini? Well he wasn't like today's magicians who are only interested in television ratings. He was an artist. He could make an elephant disappear in the middle of a theater filled with people, and do you know how he did that? Misdirection.
What the **** are you talking about?
Misdirection. What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes.
Stanley, I'm about to do something that is against my better judgement. I'm going to tell you who I am.
Don't bother. I already know who you are.
Really? You see I think that you think I'm a bank robber. But that's not the truth. The truth is I'm just like you.
You're a murderer.
Indeed I am and worse, much worse.
Twenty. [looks at Ginger] She dying Stanley.
Shut the **** up!
You tried to kill me. You've misplaced your loyalty, Senator, you've sold out America. Patriotism does not have a four-year shelf-life, but unfortunately politicians do. [Gabriel pulls out a gun]
Now what are you gonna do with that?
Thomas Jefferson once shot a man on the White House lawn for treason.
Now hold the phone, Thomas Jefferson... (Gabriel shoots the Senator)
You know, you should really have let me buy you a suit, Stanley.
I'm happy with what I'm wearing, thank you.
Ignorance is bliss.
You're not too good at this golf thing, are you, Stan?
You're **** up my chi.
What?
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: If that launcher was a suppository, would that bad man stick it up my ass? Well, you eyeball me once more boy,
and i'll stick it so far up your ass you'll be begging me for this bullet.
How do I find this guy?
You don't find him; he finds you.
And you are?
I'm Ginger.
Where's Gilligan?
How can you justify all this?
You're not looking at the big picture Stan. Here's a scenario. You have the power to cure all the world's diseases but the price for this is that you must kill a single innocent child, could you kill that child Stanley?
No.
You disappoint me, it's the greatest good.
Well how about 10 innocents?
Now you're gettin' it, how about a hundred - how about a THOUSAND? Not to save the world but to preserve our way of life.
No man has the right to make that decision; you're no different from any other terrorist.
No, you're wrong Stanley. Thousands die every day for no reason at all, where's your bleeding heart for them? You give your twenty dollars to Greenpeace every year thinking you're changing the world? What countries will harbor terrorists when they realize the consequences of what I'll do? Did you know that I can buy nuclear warheads in Minsk for forty million each? Hell, I'd buy half a dozen and even get a discount!
It's not gonna end like this.
Oh, come on, Stan. Not everything ends the way you think it should. Besides, audiences love happy endings.
