So you’re still with Rick, huh?

Still here.

Alright, What’s the matter partner?

What the hell are you looking at, you little ginger-haired fucker?

My buddy and his dog killed two of them and, no shit, I torched the last one.

Give me evil, sexy Hamlet. Settle into it. Enjoy it. And cut!

Is everybody okay?
Jay Sebring
Well… the fuckin’ hippies aren’t. That’s for goddamn sure.

Rick Dalton

When you come to the end of the line, with a buddy who is more than a brother and a little less than a wife, getting blind drunk together is really the only way to say farewell.
Narrator

All right, that’s too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?
Rick Dalton
Rick, it’s a flamethrower.

Flamethrower Trainer

Oh, I know you. I know all three of you! Yeah, Spahn Ranch! Spahn Ranch, yeah! Woo!
Cliff Booth
I don’t know your name, but I remember that hair.

Cliff Booth
And you, I remember your white little face.

Cliff Booth
And you were on a horsey! Yeah… you are?

Cliff Booth
I’m the Devil. And I’m here to do the Devil’s business.

Tex
…Nah, it was dumber than that. Something like Rex.

Cliff Booth
God, shoot him, Tex!

Sadie
Tex!

Cliff Booth

Are you an actor?
– Pussycat
No, I’m a stuntman.
– Cliff Booth

All right. What’s the matter, partner?
Cliff Booth
It’s official, old buddy. I’m a has-been.

Rick Dalton

Hey, you’re Rick fucking Dalton. Don’t you forget it.
– Cliff Booth

My hands are registered as lethal weapons. We get into a fight, I accidentally kill you. I go to jail.
– Bruce Lee
Anybody accidentally kills anybody in a fight, they go to jail. It’s called manslaughter.
– Cliff Booth

Hey! You’re a good friend, Cliff.
Rick Dalton
I try.

Cliff Booth

You’re the one with the big mouth, and I would really enjoy closing it, especially in front of all my friends. But my hands are registered as lethal weapons. That means, we get into a fight, I accidentally kill you? I go to jail.
Bruce Lee
Anybody accidentally kills anybody in a fight, they go to jail. It’s called manslaughter. I think all that lethal weapon horseshit is just an excuse so you dancers never have to get in a real fight.

Cliff Booth

I’m Rick Dalton. It’s my pleasure, Mr. Schwarzs.
– Rick Dalton
Call me Marvin. Put it there.
– Marvin Schwarzs
That’s your son?
– Marvin Schwarzs
No, that’s my stunt double, Cliff Booth.
– Rick Dalton

You fuckin’ hippies came up here to smoke dope on a dark road, huh?
Rick Dalton

You want me to look like a hippie?
Rick Dalton
Think less hippie, more Hells Angel. Wroom! Wroom-wroom!

Sam Wanamaker

I could be one pool party away from starring in a Polanski movie!
Rick Dalton

Don’t cry in front of the Mexicans.
Cliff Booth

I hired you to be an actor, Rick, not a TV cowboy. You’re better than that.
