A Fish Called Wanda quotes

  • Otto: I'm, uh, Harvey. Manfred... jen... sen... den.

  • Otto: I'm here because I'm bored. Bored hanging around this God-awful city. Shoving George's ugly pic... Talking to a lot of snotty, stuck up, intellectual British faggots. Jesus they're uptight they get rigor mortis in the prime of life in this country, standing there with their hair clenched.

    Otto: [finds a letter from Archie to Wanda] Just, counting the seconds to the weekends so they can all dress up like ballerinas and whip themselves into a frenzy at the flat at 4. 2B St.

    Otto: [recovering] To be honest I hate them. I mean pretending they're so fucking lawyer.

    Otto: [recovering again] superior, so fucking superior with those phony accents.

    Otto: [Ken peeks in the room] Not you Ken, you have a beautiful speaking voice... when it works.

    Otto: [about Wanda] Son of a bitch!

    Otto: [to Wanda, loudly] So, wanna have some lunch?

    Otto: [quietly] Have you heard from him?

    Wanda: Who?

    Otto: Archie.

    Wanda: [loudly] No I have to finish my hair!

    Wanda: [quietly] No.

    Otto: Nothing?

    Otto: [loudly] Ok well I'm outta here!

    Otto: [quietly] No plans to see him?

    Wanda: No.

    Wanda: [loudly] Ok. Bye Bro.

    Otto: Bye Wanda!

    [Punches Wanda's picture, hands it to Ken]

    Otto: Oh Sorry.
