Grindhouse Quotes

Stuntman Mike: Do I frighten you?

[Arlene nods]

Stuntman Mike: Is it my scar?

Arlene: It's your car.

Stuntman Mike: Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. It's my mom's car.

Pam: Take a picture, it lasts longer.

Stuntman Mike: What?

Pam: That table. Seems to keep them getting your attention.

Stuntman Mike: Is that the girl from the billboard outside?

Pam: Yup.

Stuntman Mike: She sure is a striking looking woman. Look at that hair.

Pam: Lots of leave-in conditioner.

Stuntman Mike: Is that jealousy I detect?

Pam: Hardly. But if you wanna get with Jungle Julia, there's a real easy way to do that.

Stuntman Mike: Yeah? And what would that be?

Pam: Get famous. You won't have to find her, she'll find you. And you don't even wanna know what she did for that billboard. Enjoy it cocksucker, you've earned it.

Stuntman Mike: What did she ever do to you?

Pam: We went to school together, from kindergarten to high school, that's what she did to me. She was her height right now at twelve. She was a monster! Half the guy she still fucks from the old class she used to beat up and terrorize in the fifth grade.

Stuntman Mike: And I see she used to beat you up and take your chocolate milk.

Pam: That pituitary case might've kicked my ass a couple of times... Sorry, I'm built like a girl and not a black man, but I'd die before I ever gave Julia Lucai my chocolate milk.

Abernathy: I was wondering if my friends and I could take the car out on our own just to see if we feel comfortable in it.

Jasper: Why would I do something stupid like that?

Abernathy: To better sell your automobile.

Jasper: How do I know you're not just gonna steal it?

Abernathy: Four reasons. One: we are not thieves. Two: that would be rude. Three: we are staying at the Day's Inn in town, you can check with them, we are registered for the next month. Well, Zoe's not, but Kim and I are so we are totally track-downable.

Jasper: Who's Kim? The colored girl?

Abernathy: Yes, Kim would be the girl of color. And four, and most importantly, that will give you a chance to get to know our other friend, Lee.

[points out Lee]

Jasper: She looks kinda familiar

Abernathy: That is because she is a famous movie star. We are making a Hollywood movie here in town

Jasper: Why's she dressed like that?

Abernathy: Because it's a cheerleader movie and she's one of the cheerleaders.

Jasper: What's a cheerleader movie?

Abernathy: A movie about cheerleaders.

Jasper: Is it a porno?

Abernathy: [looks at Jasper] *Yes*! But don't mention it. She's shy.

[as Wray is dying]

Cherry: [crying] No... you can't go. Two against the world, remember?

Wray: There will be, I promise

Wray: [touching her stomach] I never miss.

[repeated line]

Wray: I never miss.

[repeated line]

J.T.: Best in Texas.

J.T.: Hey, hey. You want some barbeque? Best in Texas.

Cherry: Oh, no thanks.

J.T.: What's the matter? You don't eat meat?

Cherry: Oh, I eat meat. I also eat lots of shit.

Cherry: [grins] See that?

J.T.: What's that?

Cherry: Shit-eating grin.

J.T.: [laughs] You ought to be a comedian.

Cherry: What do you think of the leg?

J.T.: [laughs] Sure is funny.

[repeated line]

Cherry: I was going to be a stand-up comedian.

Arlene: Who do you want to hear?

Jungle Julia: Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.

Arlene: Who?

Jungle Julia: Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.

Arlene: Who the fuck are they?

Jungle Julia: For your information, Pete Townsend, at one point, almost quit The Who. And if he had, he would have ended up in this group, thus making it Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick, Tich and Pete. And if you ask me, he should have.

[flips on the radio to hear "Hold Tight" by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich]

Jungle Julia: That's my boy!

Pam: Hey Warren, is there anybody in this place you could vouch for to give me a ride home?

Stuntman Mike: [tosses keys across table in front of Pam] Fair lady, your chariot awaits.

Pam: You've been eavesdropping?

Stuntman Mike: [chuckles] Eavesdropping and can't help but hear, I think I belong in the latter category.

Pam: So, uh, "icy hot", you're offering me a ride home?

Stuntman Mike: I'm offerin' you a lift, if, when I'm ready to leave, you are too.

Pam: And when are you thinking about leaving?

Stuntman Mike: Truthfully, I'm not thinkin' about it. But when I do, you will be the first to know.

Pam: Will you be able to drive later?

Stuntman Mike: I know looks can be deceiving, but I'm a teetotaler. I've been drinking club soda and lime all night, and now I'm buildin up to my big drink.

Pam: Which is what?

Stuntman Mike: Virgin Pina Colada.

Pam: [pause] Okay. Why would someone who doesn't drink spend hours at a bar, drinking water?

Stuntman Mike: You know, a bar offers all kinds of things other than alcohol.

Pam: Hmm, really. Like what?

Stuntman Mike: [pause] Women. Nacho Grande platters. The fellowship of some fascinating individuals, like Warren here.

Pam: Fair enough. So what's your name, icy?

Stuntman Mike: Stuntman Mike.

Pam: [pause] "Stuntman Mike's" your name?

Stuntman Mike: You can ask anybody.

Pam: Hey Warren, who is this guy?

Warren: Stuntman Mike.

Pam: And who the hell is Stuntman Mike?

Warren: He's a stuntman.

Pam: So what's your name icy?

Stuntman Mike: Stuntman Mike.

Pam: Stuntman Mike's your name.

Stuntman Mike: You ask anybody.

Pam: Hey Warren, Who is this guy?

Warren: Stuntman Mike.

Pam: And who the hell is Stuntman Mike?

Warren: He's a Stuntman.

Sheriff Hague: Where the hell are you going?

Wray: I'm going to get Cherry.

Sheriff Hague: Fine, but we're taking my car.

[his car explodes]

Sheriff Hague: [looking back at Wray] I'm riding with you.

[Kim and Zoe are convincing Abernathy to convince Jasper to take his 1970 Dodge Challenger for a test drive]

Zoe: What are you going to do? Blow him?

Abernathy: [repulsed] No!

Abernathy: [pause] I'm going to insinuate that Lee is.

Stuntman Mike: Well Pam, which way you goin' left or right?

Pam: Right.

Stuntman Mike: Aww, that's too bad.

Pam: Why?

Stuntman Mike: Well, because there was a fifty-fifty shot on whether you'd be going left. You see, we're both going left. You could have just as easily been going left too and if that was the case, it would have been awhile before you started getting scared. But since you're going the other way, I'm afraid you're gonna have to start getting scared... immediately!

Wray: Did you find what was in the pocket?

Cherry: Fuck no.

Wray: Look for it.

Cherry: [searches through one pocket]

Wray: No, the other one.

Cherry: [searches through the other pocket and takes out a box with a ring inside it]

Wray: I was gonna give it to you, but you left me. 'Cuz you took the jacket...

Cherry, Wray: ...and I looked for it for two weeks.

Wray: Read it.

Cherry: Two against the world.

Wray: Remember that?

Cherry: I never forgot it.

The Rapist: [muffled] You like Ava Gardner?

Cherry: Sorry?

The Rapist: [takes off gas mask] Ava Gardner. D'you like her?

Cherry: Yeah, I guess.

The Rapist: I was just thinkin' that you, uh, kinda look like Ava Gardner, a little bit.

The Rapist: [stops elevator and turns back to Cherry] You have somethin' you wanna say to me?

Cherry: I have nothing to say to you.

The Rapist: You have nothing to say to me? That's funny, cuz I could've sworn you just gave me a 'fuck you' look right now. You wanna say 'fuck you' to me?

Cherry: Not at this moment.

The Rapist: [pulls gun out of holster] You know what this is?

Cherry: A gun.

The Rapist: It's simplicity itself. You see, you point it at what you want to die. And you pull the little trigger here. And a little bullet comes outta here.

[presses gun barrel against Cherry's cheek]

The Rapist: And the little bullet... hits you right there!

[indicates Cherry's forehead]

The Rapist: And you know what? You don't look like Ava Gardner no more.

The Rapist: [grabs her hair as giant bubbles appear on his face] Do not taunt me, tramp. I am not one to be taunted. Say 'I got it'. SAY 'I GOT IT'!

Cherry: I... got it.

[turns elevator back on]

Cherry: [to herself] Tool.

Lee: You carry a gun?

Kim: Uh-Huh.

Lee: Do you have a license to carry it?

Kim: Yeah, when I became a secret service agent, they gave me a license.

Lee: Oh, I didn't know you were... Ok. I didn't say it. Stop looking at me. I didn't say it. God! Did you know Kim carried a gun?

Abernathy: Yes. Yeah. Do I approve? No. Do I know? Yes.

Kim: I don't know what futuristic utopia you live in, but in the world I live in, a bitch need a gun.

Abernathy: You can't get around the fact that people who carry guns, tend to get shot more than people who don't.

Kim: And you can't get around the fact that if I go down to the laundry room in my building at midnight enough times, I might get my ass raped!

Lee: Don't do your laundry at midnight.

Kim: Fuck that! I wanna do my laundry whenever the fuck I want to do my laundry.

Abernathy: There are other things you can carry other then a gun. Pepper spray.

Kim: Uh, muthafucka tryin to rape me, I don't want to give him a skin rash. I wanna shot that nigga down!

Abernathy: How about a knife at least.

Kim: Yeah, you know what happens to muthafuckas who carry knives. They get shot! Look, if I ever become a famous actress, I won't carry a gun. I'll hire me a dude dirt nigga and he'll carry the gun, and when shit goes down, I'll sit back and laugh, but until that day, it's wild west muthafucka!

Abernathy: Why not just carry a knife instead of a gun?

Kim: You know what happens to mutha fuckers who carry knives? They get shot!

[repeated line]

Kim: I'm gonna bust a nut up in this bitch right now!

[chasing after Stuntman Mike]

Kim: I'm about to bust a nut up in this bitch, muthafucker!

[speeding by a bunch of cows]

Kim: Moo, muthafucker, moo!

Abernathy: Kim?

Kim: Not without tappin' that ass...

Zoe Bell: Umm Kim?

Kim: One... More... TIME!

Cherry: I'm Cherry.

Dr. Dakota Block: You sure are.

Zoe: I'll be your slave. I'll do anything you want... I'll even crack your back.

Kim: You'll do that anyways.

Zoe: Yes, but this time, you won't even have to ask, you can just say "Bitch, do it" and I'll do it.

Dr. Dakota Block: [looking at the glove compartment] I want you to open that for mommy. Can you?

[he opens it, and there is a gun sitting inside]

Dr. Dakota Block: Take the gun.

[He takes it]

Dr. Dakota Block: Careful! That's it. And if anyone comes to the door that isn't me, I want you to shoot them. Okay? I'm not kidding Tony, you shoot them in the head.

Tony Block: What if it's dad?

Dr. Dakota Block: ESPECIALLY if it's your dad.

J.T.: Alright, but you gotta take this recipe to the grave.

Sheriff Hague: I think I can god damn guarantee that.

Pam: So how exactly does one become a stuntman?

Stuntman Mike: Well, in Hollywood, anyone fool enough to throw themselves down a flight of stairs can usually find someone to pay them for it. But really, I got into the business the way most people get into the stunt business.

Pam: How's that?

Stuntman Mike: My brother got me in it.

Pam: Who's your brother?

Stuntman Mike: Stuntman Bob.

Abby: You killed Bin Laden?

Lt. Muldoon: I put two in his heart, one in his computer.

[as she beats Dakota's car with a shovel]

Babysitter Twin #2: Where do you think you're going, you fucking bitch?

Stuntman Mike: How do you think they accomplish that?

Pam: CGI?

Stuntman Mike: Well, nowadays unfortunately you're right more often than not. But back in the all or nothing days, the Vanishing Point days, the Dirty Mary Crazy Larry days, the White Line Fever days, they had real cars crashing into real cars and real dumb people driving em.

Cherry: Name's Cherry Darling...

Wray: Sounds like a stripper name

Cherry: No, it sounds like a go-go dancer name. There's a difference.

Kim: Now, what did you say after the last time?

Zoe Bell: Look, I know what I said...

Kim: What did you say?

Zoe Bell: I know I said we shouldn't do this again...

Kim: No! You didn't say we shouldn't, you said we ain't ever gonna do that again.

Zoe Bell: Yeah, but...

Kim: But, my ass! You said not only are we never gonna play "ships mast" again, but you also said that if you ever do what you're trying to do now, to not only refuse, but that I had permission to physically restrain your ass if necessary. Now, did you or did you not say that?

Zoe Bell: What...!

Kim: No, no, no, no! Answer the question, motherfucker! Did you or did you not say that?

Zoe Bell: Yes, I said that. However...

Kim: Whatever witch your however.

Wray: So what are you going to do now?

Cherry: I'm going to be a stand-up comedian.

Wray: You're not funny

Cherry: That's what I keep trying to tell everybody but they all say I'm hilarious

Wray: But you're not

Cherry: There's a difference between being frank... and being dick.

Wray: Would you quit crying over fucking spilt milk?

Cherry: I have no leg!

Abernathy: Hello sir! What's your name?

Jasper: Jasper.

Abernathy: Hello Jasper, I'm Abernathy.

Jasper: Aber- what?

Abernathy: That is my first name.

Jasper: What kind of first name is that?

Abernathy: You know what, why don't you just call me Abby.

Jasper: Okay.

Kim: [horn honks] Hey good looking! We'll be back to pick you up later!

Lee: [Jasper laughs] Gulp.

Lt. Muldoon: Get Lewis down here.

Soldier: He's getting his dick wet, sir.

Lt. Muldoon: Get him the fuck down here... NOW!

Wray: That's my jacket. I looked for that jacket for two weeks.

Cherry: Oh, really, Wray? How long did you look for me?

Wray: The jacket belonged to me. You didn't.

Stuntman Mike: So, how about that lapdance?

Arlene: What's your name again?

Stuntman Mike: Stuntman Mike.

Arlene: Well, Stuntman Mike, I'm Butterfly. My friend Jungle Julia over here says that jukebox inside is pretty impressive.

Stuntman Mike: Yeah, it is.

Arlene: Yeah? Why don't you go get ready for your lapdance?

[Stuntman Mike gets up and walks back into the bar]

Arlene: Hey, Mike.

Stuntman Mike: Yeah?

Arlene: No touch.

Stuntman Mike: No.

Arlene: I touch you, you don't touch me.

Stuntman Mike: I know.

Arlene: Good.

Pam: [Stuck in Stuntman Mike's car] If you just stop right now, you know, and, and let me out, I'll never tell anybody...

Stuntman Mike: Hey, Pam, remember when I said this car was death proof? Well, that wasn't a lie. This car is a hundred percent death proof. Only to get the benefit of it, honey, you REALLY need to be sitting in my seat.

[slams his foot onto the brake and sends Pam flying face-first into his dashboard]

[as she beats Dakota's car with a shovel]

Babysitter Twin #2: We're gonna kill you!

Dr. William Block: You gotta lose the arm, Joe.

Joe: Lose the arm? What do you mean, "lose the arm?" My arm?

Pam: Is that cowboy wisdom?

Stuntman Mike: I'm not a cowboy, Pam. I'm a stuntman.

[looking at a photo of Jungle Julia]

Stuntman Mike: You got a kiss for me, my girlfriend?

Abernathy: You best get yo' ass off Kim's car.

Lee: I've seen Kim sit on it before.

Abernathy: Her ass ain't yo' ass.

The Rapist: I'm gettin' my dick wet.

Rapist #2: She's only got one leg.

The Rapist: Easier access.

Rapist #2: Oh... that is a good point.

Cherry: You a doctor?

Dr. Dakota Block: Hm. I was earlier tonight.

Cherry: I always wanted to be a doctor, instead, I can do this. Useless talent number 66. I'm very pliable.

Dr. Dakota Block: You know my girlfriend had a theory, she said that you find a use for every useless talent you ever had.

Cherry: I'm not that optimistic. I feel like I'm stuck a drain and I can't get out.

Dr. Dakota Block: [Interrupts Cherry] She'd say, "when you're stuck in that spiral, just reach up".

Cherry: What if there's nothing up there?

Dr. Dakota Block: Just reach up.

The Rapist: [Comes in] You're a dancer.

Cherry: I was earlier tonight.

The Rapist: Well I'm pulling you out of retirement!

Lt. Muldoon: Where are my men?

Abby: [throws a bag to Lt. Muldoon] I put several right here.

Lt. Muldoon: Looks like I got you by the balls, Abby.

Abby: You certainly have.

Stuntman Mike: Be careful, my right arm's broken!

Kim: What, *this*?

[cracking]

Stuntman Mike: Oww!

Abernathy: Such a fuckin' cry-baby!

[punches Mike, the other girls take turns]
