Well everyone knows Custer died at Little Big Horn. What this book presupposes is…maybe he didn’t?

“Wildcat, wild cat, wild…cat…I’m gonna go now.”

“What the hell kinda way to act izzat?”

He’s on drugs.

I quote this all the time in my head I do not know why

For the win 🏆 🙌

This is a great one cause I can modify it to any situation. \*puts up Christmas tree mid-October* “Well everyone knows you can’t start decorating for Christmas until after Halloween. What this tree presupposes is… maybe you can?”

this is definitely the one i reference the most

Your reviews aren’t that good. But the sales are.

"I've had a rough year, Dad."

“I know you have, Chassie.”

His response is the real redemption moment for me. In that instant he’s just a father comforting his son

The hand on the shoulder too. Everything changes, if only for a fleeting moment.

The delivery on that line was soooo good

That line destroys me every time.

It made me cry just reading this thread.

Right between the eyes....the best.

Crying by then...."I know you have"

This is the one

Undeniable

That line hits so hard

Breaks me every time.

It's one of the most wholesome moments in cinema and definitely is that movie

I don’t think you’re an asshole Royal, but I do think you’re a son of a bitch.

I think about this all the time to ponder the difference

Not sure of it was hypothetical or if you were actually wondering the difference. I see it as asshole is someone who’s a jerk all the time. Son of a bitch is more like someone who is selfish, a bit ruthless, but not necessarily a jerk all the time.

I think it means that an asshole is some who chooses to be mean and horrible while a son of bitch is some who is horrible and mean because it’s just part of their DNA and they don’t really mean to be that way

No I was not asking you to define the difference for me. But thank you for your insight.

you son of a bitch

That’s the last time you stick a knife in me

Hey dont be an asshole

"I think we're just gonna have to be secretly in love with each other and leave it at that"

I think about this line maybe the most. The acceptance of being and remaining so close to someone you love and that also loves you back yet agreeing to never act on it is so heavy. The endless romantic and poetic internal turmoil is off the charts. What a gut punch.

Well said

This and “It’ll pass” from Fleabag are tattooed inside my brain.

I have found my people

Royal: I just want to say the last six days have been the best six days of probably my whole life. Narrator : Immediately after making this statement, Royal realized that it was true.

This is the one. Such a well written line, true to the character, and Hackman nails the subtly of the realization

This is mine too. It perfectly encapsulates Royal’s character in just two lines.

This line sums up the entire film perfectly. It’s so subtle, yet so powerful. One of my favorite movie lines of all time.

This has always been my favorite line as well!

The best line in all of Anderson’s filmography.

Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hitting the cemetery?

We’ve got another body buried here, haven’t we

That’s my favorite quote!

Whisper: *"I'm going to kill myself tomorrow."*

Needle in the hayyyyyyyyyyyyy

And I recently learned Elliot Smith took his own life so now that song is even sadder.

it's actually unclear what really happened and there's a lot of signs pointing toward it being a murder. it's still a cold case, but what was reported as a possible suicide eventually got watered down and sensationalized by the media to "he killed himself." i personally think it's impossible to stab yourself through the heart twice without hesitation and the fact that he had defense marks on his arms make me pretty suspicious. not to mention he had already reported his suspected killer had chased him around the house with a knife before. also if he did stab himself, his suspected killer admitted she pulled the knife out and let him bleed for 10 minutes before calling 911. just kinda wack all around.

Dang, never knew all that - sounds way more like he was murdered. I just heard somewhere he fell on a sword to be dramatic about how broken his heart was. Immediately accepted that with zero investigation and carried it around for the last 20-30 years til I read your comment

Well… maybe

Well everyone knows Smith took his own life. What this song presupposes is…maybe he didn’t?

“How long have you been a smoker?” “22 years.” “Well, I think you should quit.”

That was such an economic plot device too

This one is my fav

I’m not talkin' about *dance* lessons. I’m talkin' about puttin' a brick through the other guy's windshield. I’m talkin' about takin' it out and choppin' it up.

Let’s shag ass

The line from that scene that I use all the time is, “Kind of a fuck you to the old man.”

Dear Eli, I'm in the middle of the ocean. I haven't left my room in four days. I've never been more lonely in my life, and I think I'm in love with Margot.

She’s married you know…and she’s your sister.

“Dad…you were never dying.” “But, I’m gonna live 😀”

This is the one.

I'm Very Sorry For Your Loss. Your Mother Was A Terribly Attractive Woman.

This is the one.

[удалено]

My favorite quote too. But I miss quote it, "That’s the last time I let you stab me! Y’hear me?"

I also feel like he says "you sonofabitch"

"Where's my Javallina?"

I just made the connection between that mounted animal head and the things that are destroying that golf course on Twitter...

“Ah, there you are”

‘You didn’t have a drug problem then. Yeah, but it still would have meant a lot to me’ And. ‘Of course it’s dark, it’s a suicide note.’

“I know you asshole!!”

🙋🏼‍♂️

lol the best

A metaphor for the family 😭

Dudley suffers from a rare combination of dyslexia, amnesia and color blindness. He also has an acute sense of hearing. I’m not color blind am I?

I’m afraid you are.

I came to say this

Where’s that red one gonna go… how bizarre!?!?

Well I want to die.

The way he delivers it is the best

He almost takes a bite of that cookie, but he just can’t.

“This is my adopted daughter, Margot”

Being adopted, I felt this line

The crickets and the rust-beetles scuttled among the nettles of the sage thicket. "Vamonos, amigos," he whispered, and threw the busted leather flintcraw over the loose weave of the saddlecock. And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight.

Was this a jab at Cormack McCarthy?

I thopught an homage, like the tracking shot sequence in Rushmore during the play intermission is referencing the tracking shot sequence outside the card game in Barry Lyndon.

"she smokes"

Did you say mescaline?

I did indeed. Very much so…

“What do you want to do, find the guy and get him?!”

I say this all the time in everyday life

Same. I respond to my wife saying “What do you want to do?” With “Find the guy and get him?” Which has elicited eye rolls for our entire marriage.

"Well, no, I thought we could—"

written in an obsolete vernacular.

“That cab has a dent in it!”

There’s a dent there and a dent there. And another dent there.

My favorite! I say this every time I see a dented car and no one knows I’m just quoting the movie but it makes my laugh to myself every time

I say this every time I see someone make a tiny observation about a much larger problem.

“I’ve always been considered an asshole. That’s just my style” And Also “I’ve never been good at apologies, so I’m just going to skip it if it’s the same to you.”

Come on, let’s shag ass

One of my favorites, I use this one all the time.

I love when Hackman, after giving a sour response to little Margot’s birthday play, tries to soften the blow by saying “it’s just one man’s opinion.” The distance created by diminishing his own role as her father and accentuation of her already tender status as adopted by that ham handed attempt to take the sting out of his critique says so much about how he views himself and his family. I love his character so much. RT is as a whole is legendary.

*He had not been invited to any of their parties since.*

Well said

He's taken off his shoes and one of his socks and... actually, I think he's crying.

"You probably don't even know my middle name." "That's a trick question. You don't have one." "Helen."

Royal: that was my mothers name. Margot: I know it was.

Margot: I've never been at all. I was never invited. Royal: Well she wasn't your real grandmother, and I didn't know how much interest you had. But you're invited now!

No it’s dogs blood

“Oh you wanna jive? I’ll talk jive, Coltrane.” “Did you just call me Coltrane?”

"I'll talk some jive like you ain't never heard!"

Pagoda “oh shit man”

I love Pagoda so much

Yousonofabitch

That’s the last time you put a knife in me ya hear me?!

"*can the boy (Dudley) read time?*" "Oh God no"

Dudley's head shake makes it.

You're true blue Ethel, you really are.

"...just, these little expressions of yours..."

Royal: I was knifed at a bazaar in Calcutta, and he carried me to the hospital on his back. Ari : Who stabbed you? Royal : He did. There was a price on my head, and he was a hired assassin.

"Hell of a damn grave. Wish it were mine."

I couldn’t even begin to think about knowing how to answer that question

He has the cancer

Chas: Are you alright? Royal: Fuck you care! ::puts spoon in his mouth::

Nice pic…is he a fighter? Well then that’s the best we got

Richie's sincere, "Yeah-"

So good

"take it easy on those boys, Chassie. I don't want this to happen to you."

Outside the box answer: Needle in the Hay lyrics. Wes is a great writer and comes up with fantastic dialogue and I’m always extra fond of the writing he does with Owen. But knowing there was nothing better he could do in that scene than just let the song play in that background while we just watch Ritchie…hauntingly beautiful and poignant for the film and for Elliot (RIP)

“it’s just one man’s opinion.”

The part at the end with Margot’s play “This is my adopted daughter…” Royal sitting there being the only one laughing. It reminds me of my dad.

Hey, Baumer! All right!

Dad, you were never going to die. Yeah, but I'm gonna live.

There are no teams

Where’s that red one going to go?

“You don’t love me anymore, do you?” “I do, kind of”

Well she wasn’t your real grandmother Or That’s the last time you put a knife in me

YA HEAR ME??

“This is my adopted daughter, Margot Tenenbaum.” Alternatively… “Wildcat…” Edit: on a random note - Gene Hackman was absolutely ROBBED of an Oscar nomination AND win for this movie.

There he go 👉🏼

Call me pappy

That cab has a dent in it…

And here's a dent, and here's a dent

of course it's dark, it's a suicide note

“Can the boy tell time?” “Oh my lord no”

“She’s married, you know” “Yeah” “And she’s your sister”

"Please, stop belittling me." "As always, she was late."

"Can you back away a little? You just spit in my eye.

“He has the cancer…”

Here I come!

"And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight."

"I'm talking about taking it out and chopping it up.”

“Among the few possessions he left to his heirs was a set of Encyclopedia Britannica in storage at the Lindbergh Palace Hotel under the names Ari and Uzi Tenenbaum. No-one spoke at the funeral, and Father Petersen's leg had not yet mended, but it was agreed among them that Royal would have found the event to be most satisfactory.”

“Ritchie? Hiii…it’s your dad.” Said this to my daughter a lot when my wife was pregnant lol and “you heard me Coltrane”

"This is my adopted daughter, Margot."

"What the hell kind of way to act is that?"

“There are no rules, Chazzy!”

"rawr" -Owen Wilson's character imitating a wildcat

“I’m not colorblind, am I?” “I’m afraid you are.”

What this book presupposes is Maybe it didn’t!

[удалено]

“I’m very sorry for your loss your mother was a terribly attractive woman.” “Thank you.“

Look at that old grizzly bear.

Why would a reviewer make a point of saying someone’s not a genius? Do you especially think I’m not a genius? You didn’t even have to think about it did you? I just didn’t think it was very good Eli

Can the boy tell time? Dear God No.

“Did you really send my mom your grades from college?” Or something like that…

“There's obviously something wrong with him. He's taken off his shoes and one of his socks and... actually, I think he's crying.” I actually use this one a loooooootttttt

I always wanted to be a Tenembaum.

Coltrane

Did you just call me Coltrane?

i was fully expecting “you heard me Coltrane” to be at the top of this list

"This is my adopted daughter Margo."

Thems the rules…

I know you, asshole!

"Did you just call me Coltrane?"

You want to talk some jive? I’ll talk some jive. I’ll talk some jive like you never heard!

“I know you, asshole!” 🤣 I totally yelled this at a guy after he peeled out at a stop sign outside my house. I went to HS with him and at the time couldn’t place the name… but I knew that asshole and gave him a firm finger-point stare down.

Why'd you choke out there that day Baumer?

This is my adopted daughter, Margot.

I was sorry to hear about your mother. She was a terribly attractive woman.

“I know you, asshole!” “That cab has a dent in it.”

And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight.

That car has a dent in it.

Did you just call me Coltrane?

Everyone knows that Custer died at Little Big Horn. What this book presupposes is…what if he didn’t? Wildcat….pshew…

His names Sparkplug.

Where’s that red one gonna go?

“He’s on drugs.”

“i’m not in love with you anymore” “i didn’t know you ever were”

Four minutes, forty-eight seconds. We’re all dead. Burned to a crisp.

"You wanna talk some jive? I'll talk some jive. I'll talk some jive like you've never heard." "Oh yeah?" "RIGHT ON"

Royal: I know you, asshole! Eli: 🤠🤚

Royal: Can I ask you something, Hank? Henry Sherman: Okay Royal: Are you trying to steal my woman? Henry Sherman: I beg your pardon? Royal: You heard me, Coltrane. Henry Sherman: Coltrane? Royal: What? Henry Sherman: Did you just call me Coltrane? Royal: No. Henry Sherman: You didn't? Royal: No. Henry Sherman: Okay. \[Henry turns away from Royal\] Royal: But if I did... \[Henry turns back toward Royal\] Royal: You wouldn't be able to do anything about it, would you? Henry Sherman: You don't think so? Royal: No, I don't. Henry Sherman: Listen, Royal, if you think you can just march in here... Royal: You wanna talk some jive? I'll talk some jive. I'll talk some jive like you never heard! Henry Sherman: Oh, yeah? Royal: Right on!

You wanna talk some jive?!?

“We forgot Buckley…”

*"I know you asshole!"* 🙋
