Mystic River quotes

  • [after Dave comes in with blood all over him]

    Dave: So, I'm walking to my car, and this guy comes up to me and he asks for a light. I say I don't smoke. He says neither does he. So, my heart starts clocking a buck fifty, 'cause there's no one around but me and him.

    Celeste Boyle: [Celeste sits to bandage his stomach] Oh, my God.

    Dave: So that's when I see the knife. He says, 'Your wallet or your life, bitch. I'm leaving with one of 'em.'

    Celeste Boyle: That's what he said?

    Dave: Yeah! So I try to brush past him, and that's when he slices me.

    Celeste Boyle: I thought you said that you swung on him first.

    Dave: Jesus, Celeste, can I tell the fuckin' story?

    [She realizes now that he's crying]

    Celeste Boyle: I'm sorry, babe. Ssshh.

    Dave: I went fuckin' nuts on him, baby. I went off! I bashed his head on the parking lot. There was blood everywhere, and I might 'a' killed him!

    Celeste Boyle: Killed him!

    [She sees that he's sobbing and stands up to hug him]

    Celeste Boyle: Ssshh.

    Dave: It makes you feel alone, you know, hurtin' somebody?

  • Dave Boyle: Maybe some day you forget what it's like to be human and maybe then, it's ok.
