Tin Cup quotes

Page 1 of 4

Can you people not see that I'm busy? I'm working. This is my office. Do I come to your office and ask for an autograph? I don't think so. Jesus. What an ugly dog.

[to Molly]

You're not one of those women who tries to fix men, I hope. I mean, men cannot be fixed, and especially him.

Earl
[about Roy]

The word normal and him don't often collide in the same sentence.

Jim Nantz

Unbelievable. McAvoy has done it. You just saw the greatest round in U.S. Open history. The all-time lowest round in a major doesn't belong to a Jack Nicklaus or an Arnold Palmer, Hogan, or Sneed. It's been shot by the most improbable artist. Roy McAvoy has his signature on golf's all-time masterpiece round.

TV Director

Another driving range pro, it's all we needed. It's heroes that I need. Not obscure driving range pros.

No, no, no. This is what always happens. He's going for it.

Go for it!

Molly, get a grip. He only needs par to tie. Tell him to lay up.

Go for it, Roy! Just knock it on!

This is why we broke up. He always went for it.

My problem is, I've never been with a man who went for it.

Honey, he's your guy.

Earl

You the man, Roy. You are definitely the man.

The man needs a ride home.

All you have to do is walk up to this, this woman, wherever she is, look her in the eye -- look at me, Roy -- just look her in the eyes, that's right, let down your guard, and don't try to be cool or smooth or whatever; just be honest and take a risk. And you know what, whatever happens, if you act from the heart, you can't make a mistake.

Roy

Dr. Griswold...

Yes?

Roy

I think I'm in love with you.

What?

Roy

From the moment I first saw you, I knew I was through with bar girls and... strippers and motorcycle chicks, and... when we first started talking I was smitten with you, and I'm smitten with you more every day I think about you, and the fact that you know I'm full of crapola only makes you more attractive to me. Usually I can bullshit people, but I can't bullshit you, and in addition you got, you got great legs, and most women I'm thinking about how to get in their pants from day one, but with you I'm just I'm just thinking about how to get into your heart. Stunned?

So...

Roy

So what about dinner and we can talk about us and if we have a future and how to drop that horse's ass boyfriend of yours.

Can I ask you a question? If you're such a legendary golfer, as everyone says...then why are you, at your age, out here in the sticks...operating a barely-solvent business, ducking the IRS...collecting a few dollars for beer when you're capable of much more?

Roy

Perhaps I'm chock-full of inner demons.

No. You're chock-full of bullshit.

Can I ask you a question? If you're such a legendary striker of the golf ball, as everyone says...why are you, at your age, out here in the middle of nowhere...operating a barely-solvent establishment, ducking the I.R.S...collecting a few pathetic dollars to buy your next sixpack when you're capable of so much more?

Roy

Perhaps I'm chock-full of inner demons.

No. You're chock-full of bullshit.

Doreen, how did he get the name Tin Cup?

Oh, he was the catcher on the high school baseball team. The star pitcher had a big-league curve... not all of his pitches hit Roy in the mitt, ouch. The team thought Tin Cup was a whole lot better than Clank.

I take it you're a feminist.

Roy

I've been called many things, but never been saddled with that.

You might try being saddled. Smell of leather, a whip's sting.

Roy

I'm just a humble golf pro.

I've got money from the bet. Let's go somewhere fancy and celebrate.

Roy

There's nothing to celebrate. Besides, these are my people. I'm a Waffle House guy. Got to stay in touch with that.
