Tough Guy Quotes

A couple of gems I ran across…from Errol Flynn’s 1937 The Adventures of Robin Hood:

Lady Marian Fitzswalter: Why, you speak treason!
Robin Hood: Fluently.

1950’s The Gambling House:

Marc Fury: If you try to stop me you’re going to end up in an alley somewhere with the cats licking you.

Sicilians were spawned by niggers.

“How’s about some fire, Scarecrow?”

“And your little dog, too!”

Charley Partana
*
If he was so fuckin’ smart, how come he’s so fuckin’ dead?*

Um… movie cite?

Better yet:

“The more you hate me the more you will learn!”

Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken in True Romance. Hopper’s speech starts around 6:10.

My father hung me from a hook once. Once.

Another tough gal quote from Babylon 5: “Only one human captain has ever survived battle with the Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else.” – Delenn

Another Delenn one, referring to a race that attacked the Minbari : “We tracked them to their homeworld, and taught them the depth of their mistake.”

DAMMIT! I forgot AOD! :rolleyes:

“Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart.”

I feel inadequate.

In “Stick” Burt Reynolds has gotten the albino hitman out on a balcony where he is just barely hanging on to the railing. Below, about ten stories below, is a concrete patio and off a bit is a pool. Since the albino hitman has been trying to kill Reynolds, Burt is not about to do anything to help him , but he offers a bit of advice:

“When you can’t hold on any longer, if you push of a bit when you fall, you might just be able to hit the water.”

That is the single best performance of Hopper’s career. What a great scene!!!

Also from Casino Royale:

Vesper: Now, having just met you, I wouldn’t go as far as calling you a coldhearted bastard…
Bond: No, of course not.
Vesper: But it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine. You think of women as disposable pleasures rather than meaningful pursuits. So, as charming as you are, Mr. Bond, I will be keeping my eye on our government’s money and off your perfectly formed arse.
Bond: You noticed.
Vesper: Even accountants have imagination. How was your lamb?
Bond: Skewered. One sympathizes.

Westley: I’m not left-handed either.

It’s not so much a line as just an expression of emotion: Arnold’s roar of challenge near the end of Predator. Just the pure caveman sound of it still gives me chills.

From They Live
Nada: I got news for 'em. There’s gonna be hell to pay. 'Cause I ain’t Daddy’s little boy no more.

From Conan the Destroyer
Conan: Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That’s what’s important! Valor pleases you, Crom… so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

Can girls play?

Sorry to split hairs but this was actually from Conan the Barbarian

Great quote anyway!

A few Ash quotes would surely suffice for this thread?

“Good, bad, I’m the guy with the gun”
“This is my boomstick”
“Swallow this” :smiley:

Do tough-guy quotes that should have been spoken count?

I’ve always wanted the tough guy in a story to say

“Hello. My name is X. My friends call me [nickname]. My enemies call me ‘Arrrgh!’. You can call me Sir.”

Alternatively:

“Hi. My name is X. Your name is mud.”

Watched Casino again last night.

(After torturing Tony Dogs for two days)

Nicky Santoro: Listen to me Anthony. I got your head in a fuckin’ vise. I’ll squash your head like a fuckin’ grapefruit if you don’t give me a name. Don’t make me have to do this, please. Don’t make me be a bad guy, come on.
Tony Dogs: Fuck you.
Nicky Santoro: This motherfucker, you believe this? Two fucking days and nights! Fuck me? Fuck me? You motherfucker!
[turning the crank]
Nicky Santoro: Give me the fuckin’ name!
(Tony’s eye pops out)
Tony Dogs: Ch-Charlie M.
Nicky Santoro: Charlie M?
Tony Dogs: Charlie M.
Nicky Santoro: Charlie M? You made me pop your fuckin’ eye out of your head to protect that piece of shit? Charlie M? You dumb motherfucker!
Tony Dogs: Kill me.
Nicky Santoro: I’ll kill you. You motherfucker you! Frankie, do him a fuckin’ favor.

(later to a banker)

Nicky Santoro: I think in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do. For instance tomorrow morning I’ll get up nice and early, take a walk down over to the bank and… walk in and see and, uh… if you don’t have my money for me, I’ll… crack your fuckin’ head wide-open in front of everybody in the bank. And just about the time that I’m comin’ out of jail, hopefully, you’ll be coming out of your coma. And guess what? I’ll split your fuckin’ head open again. ‘Cause I’m fuckin’ stupid. I don’t give a fuck about jail. That’s my business. That’s what I do.
