Twenty Quotes from Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" (1991)
(collected 10/28/2000)
Okay, this was a tough one. I mean, every damn line in this film is a quotable quote. But I tried to cull the best ones. See what you think.
Mr. Brown (Quentin Tarantino): "Let me tell you what 'Like A Virgin''s all about. It's all about this cooz who's a regular fuck machine. I'm talkin' morning, day, night, afternoon, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick"
Mr. White (Harvey Keitel): "You shoot me in a dream, you better wake up and apologize."
Mr. Pink is ranting and raving about the waitress not refilling his coffee cup enough
Nice Guy Eddie (Chris Penn): "Excuse me, Mr. Pink, but the last fuckin' thing you need's another cup of coffee."
Mr. White is trying to convince Mr. Orange that he is not going to die from his gunshot wound
Mr. White: "Oh, excuse me, I didn't realize you had a degree in medicine. Uh, are you a doctor? Are you a doctor? Answer me, please, are you a doctor?..... Okay, so you admit, you don't know what you're talking about."
Mr. White: "The choice between doing ten years and taking out some stupid motherfucker ain't no choice at all. But I ain't no madman, either! What the fuck was Joe thinking? I can't work with a guy like that."
Mr. White and Mr. Pink are pointing guns at each other while Mr. Blonde watches
Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi): "Fuck you, White! I didn't create this situation, I'm dealing with it. You're acting like a first year fucking thief. I'm acting like a professional!"
Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen): "You kids shouldn't play so rough. Somebody's gonna start crying."
Mr. Pink: "Fuck sides! Man, what we need here's a little solidarity! Somebody's sticking a red-hot poker up our ass, I want to know who's name's on the handle."
Nice Guy Eddie and Mr. Blonde (Vic Vega) are horsing around in Joe's office
Nice Guy Eddie: "Ain't that a sad sight, Daddy? A man walks into prison a white man, walks out talkin' like a fuckin' nigger. You know what? I think its all that black semen been pumped up your ass so far and now its backed into your fuckin' brain and its comin' out your mouth."
Mr. Blonde: "Eddie, you keep talkin' like a bitch, I'm gonna slap you like a bitch."
Mr. Pink and Mr. White are beating up the cop hostage
Nice Guy Eddie: "If you fuckin' beat this prick long enough, he'll tell you he started the Goddamn Chicago fire. Now that don't necessarily make it fuckin' so!!"
Mr. Blonde (to the cop hostage): "Look, kid, I'm not going to bullshit you, okay? I don't really give a good fuck what you know or don't know. But I'm going to torture you anyway. Regardless. Not to get information. It's amusing to me to torture a cop."
Mr. Orange (Tim Roth) (to himself in a mirror): "Don't pussy out on me now. They don't know. They don't know shit. You're not going to get hurt. You're fucking Baretta. They believe every fucking word. Cause you're super cool."
Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney): "Here are your names. Mr. Brown. Mr. White. Mr. Blonde. Mr. Blue. Mr. Orange. And Mr. Pink."
Mr. Pink: "Why am I Mr. Pink?"
Joe: "Because you're a faggot, all right?"
Mr. Pink: "Why can't we pick our own colors?"
Joe: "No way, no way. Tried it once, it doesn't work. You get four guys, all fighting over who's going to be Mr. Black. But they don't know each other, so nobody wants to back down. No way. I pick. You're Mr. Pink. Be thankful you're not Mr. Yellow."
Mr. Brown: "Yeah, but Mr. Brown -- that's a little too close to Mr. Shit."
Mr. Pink: "Mr. Pink sounds like Mr. Pussy. How about if I'm Mr. Purple? That sounds good to me, I'll be Mr. Purple."
Joe: "You're not Mr. Purple. Some guy on some other job is Mr. Purple. You're Mr. Pink!!"
Showdown between Nice Guy Eddie, Mr. White, and Joe Cabot over the disposition of Mr. Orange
Mr. White: "Joe. If you kill that man, you die next. I repeat. If you kill that man, you die next."
Nice Guy Eddie: "Larry, we have been friends, and you respect my Dad, and I respect you, but I will put fuckin' bullets right through your heart. You put that fuckin' gun down. Now."
Mr. White: "Goddamn you Joe. Don't make me do this."
Nice Guy Eddie: "LARRY, STOP POINTING THAT FUCKING GUN AT MY DAD!!!"
They all shoot each other
Editors Note: This was one great movie, but I still want to know: Who shot Nice Guy Eddie????
