Best Line in Film


"Counselor, anytime you are doing something you aren't supposed to be doing, there are any number of 50 things that can go wrong. If you are a genius, you can think of 25 and you aren't a genus."

I have told this quote to my sons on several occasions.

reply

Most famous: You're not very smart, are you? I like that in a man.

reply

Ditto.

What we didn't know at the time, was that she meant it. She needed someone not too smart.

reply

The next two lines were great too

[Ned] .... what else do you like lazy, horny, ugly? I got 'em all.
[Matty] You don't look lazy.

reply

It should be:

Matty:

You're not too smart, are you? I like that in a man
.


It's also wrong in the Quote section for this movie.

One of the great quotes in neo-noir. Matty voices what all of the other femme fatales were thinking about their next victim.

reply

The kicker of that quote, to me, is what Teddy says after. "You know you told me that?" They never answer out loud, but you figure it out from the dialogue that follows that it was Ned who told him that.

Brilliant, brilliant writing.

Illusions Michael. Tricks are something a whore does for money.

reply

"Hey lady , wanna *beep*?"

"You work your side of the street, and I'll work mine"

reply

My favourite scene is when Ned and Matty first meet, and all of the dialogue that follows, but this bit is my favourite;

Ned - "What else do you like (in a man); lazy, ugly, horny? I got 'em all."

Matty - "You don't look lazy."

reply

Yes, yes yes! Nice witty banter between the two of them.

Ned: You can stand here with me if you want but you'll have to agree not to talk about the heat.
Matty: I'm a married woman.
Ned: Meaning what?
Matty: Meaning I'm not looking for company.
Ned: Then you should have said I'm a happily married woman.

Keep talking, Matty. Experience shows I can be convinced of ANYTHING.

reply

"You shouldn't wear that body"

"Poor little Heather! She's never
seen one angry before. But it made
quite an impression on her.
Yessirree!"
