Favorite line - Dick (1999) Discussion

[–] college_kate1 19 years ago

I love the beginning...with French Stewart interviewing Woodward and Bernstein. It's not just one line, though...it's the whole exchange.

Interviewer- You know what I think...I think there is no Deep Throat. I think you all just made him up.
Bernstein- No we didn't! Deep Throat is--
Woodward- Don't say it! He's trying to trick you!
Bernstein- Sorry. I'm so sorry. I...
Woodward- Get off me. Eww...you smell like cabbage.

The Kissinger character had several good ones too.

"You're ruining my life!"
"Dick frightens me!"
"I don't think anybody saw.." "FREAK!"
"I think they're having sex now."
"Come back here you little bitches!"

We have a very important school report on turquoise jewellery due in two days, and we can't find any books on it, and the President's having us followed. It's too much pressure.

And this little conversation they have -
Arlene : How dare those people treat us like we're stupid teenage girls.
Betsy : We are stupid teenage girls.
Arlene : No. We're human beings, and we're American citizens. And four score and seven years ago our forefathers... did something.

I love Dick!

[Family sitting on the couch. somberly].
Betsy: "Whats the Matter"?
Mom: "Your brother got his letter".
Brother: "I got drafted. Now you can get my room like you always wanted".
[devistated she runs upstairs and falls to the floor sobbing heavily]
Arlene: [concerned] "Betsy are you ok"?
Betsy: [collecting herself] "Im fine. I was just wondering what we'll do with his crappy bed and dresser and nightstand".
[moments later]

"Do you think the President meant it when said we can come back and walk Checkers? He's the President Betsy he always means what he says".

LOL...very cute and fun little movie.

Other than that, life's a bowl of Palmolive and I'm soaking in it.

Arlene: "I have something to say. War is not healthy for children and other living things."
Nixon's reply: "You see, Henry, that's the voice of the youth of America."

Advisor, noticing Nixon talking to the two girls: "Who are these two girls, Henry?"
Kissinger: "I don't know, but it doesn't look constitutional to me."

It's criminally insane how underrated this movie is. My favorite line hasn't even been mentioned yet:

Bob Woodward: How old are you?
Betsy: 23.
Bob Woodward: Okay, is that your combined ages?

I also love...

Arlene Lorenzo: We think you haven't been completely honest with us.
Dick: Let me tell you, if it's about that goddamn Watergate! I tell you, I had NOTHING to do with it, you hear? It's those goddamn Woodward and Burnstein! They're out to get me!
Arlene Lorenzo: [Stunned silence] Actually it was just about the dog.
Betsy Jobs: You act like you like him. But we don't think you do.
Dick: What dog?

and then...

Security guard: Did you bring the cookies?

and then...

Shut up Checkers, or else I'll feed you to the Chinese!

Did he train you? Did he rehearse you? Did he tell you *exactly* what to do, what to say?!

the little mumbled conversation with kissenger: "you've got to remember it took de gaulle six years to extracate himself from algeria...not that i'm comparing myself to the general"

"beer bong?"
"i'm tripping heavily already"

"figures, the pain in my a$$ is Nixon - the fascist!"

"isn't it against the law to cut up the flag?"
"not if you sew it back together."

"They canNOT treat us like we're stupid teenage girls!!"
"But we are stupid teenage girls..."

"Oh, and I also think that Mick Jagger's sexy...his lips look like a giant couch made of skin!"

and the classic "turquoise jewelry report" exchange.

oh, and

Betsy: "My brother got his letter yesterday."
Nixon: "How's he doing?"
Betsy: "He's maintaining."
Nixon: "Good...good."

YOU SUCK, DICK!

[–] openingcredits 19 years ago

Woodward's and Bernstein's complaining to the girls, after they screwed up the story, is funny.
Woodward: "You two idiots are the matter. You gave us bad information...and our other source backed out."
Bernstein: "Now everybody thinks I'm a shmuck!"

I also liked the scene in which the editor is asking the reporters about Deep Throat.
Editor: "What branch of the government is he in?"
Woodward: "Uhhh...executive."
Editor: "How high up?"
Bernstein, estimating height: "About yay high."

Staying with the editor, Ben Bradlee, I love when he mistakenly calls Deep Throat "Hand Job."

"Shut up checkers or I'll feed ya to the chinese!" I'm also thought Jim Breuer's line (played John Dean)was kinda funny. "I'm John Dean!" (just how sneery it was, was what made me laugh)

i'm surprised no one's posted this one. its when betsy and arlene are talking about arlene's long lost dad and betsy's like, "Arlene, what if he's not really dead? What if he's alive and is watching you but is too afraid to say something... or what if you meet the man of your dreams and you get engaged and then you find out that his dad is YOUR dad too making him your brother! Its called insest Arlene, and its against the law." (it went something like that.)
