John Nada quotes from They Live (1988)

John Nada

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubble gum.

John Nada

Come to show 'em where I am? Not nice!

John Nada

I don't like this one bit. Not one bit!

John Nada

Brother, life's a bitch, and she's back in heat.

John Nada

You know, you look like your head fell in the cheese dip back in 1957.

Frank

I got a job now and I plan on keeping it. I'm walking a white line all the time. I don't bother nobody. Nobody bothers me. You better start doing the same!

Nada

White line's in the middle of the road. That's the worst place to drive.

Frank

So how you gonna make it?

Nada

I deliver a hard day's work for my money. I just want the chance. It'll come. I believe in America. I follow the rules. Everybody's got their own hard times these days.

Frank

We can't be the only ones who can see. We've got to find the people who made these.

Nada

Yeah, if any of them are still alive.

Nada

I'm giving you a choice: either put on these glasses, or start eating that trash can.

Frank

Not this year.

Nada

OK. All right. (Fight ensues)

Frank

How long have they been there?

Nada

Who knows.

Frank

What are they? Where do they come from?

Nada

Well, they ain't from Cleveland.

Frank

Maybe they've always been with us, those things out there. Maybe they love it — seeing us hate each other, watching us kill each other off, feeding on our own cold **** hearts.

Nada

Well, I've got news for them. Going to be hell to pay, 'cause I ain't daddy's little boy no more.
