  • Awards

  • Academy Awards

    • Nominations – Best Picture, Director, Actor (Travolta), Supporting Actor (Jackson), Supporting Actress (Thurman), Original Screenplay, and Film Editing.

    • Winner – Tarantino and Avary won for Best Original Screenplay.
  • Casting

    • The role of Vincent Vega was originally (and exclusively) written with Michael Madsen firmly in mind. Quentin Tarantino had been working on his script for seven months and, even though Madsen knew of Quentin’s plans and had expressed his desire to play the part, Madsen had already signed up for the role of Virgil Earp in Wyatt Earp (1994), and was unable to commit to the film. He later regretted the decision.

    • Uma Thurman originally turned down the role of Mia Wallace. Quentin Tarantino was so desperate to have her as Mia, he ended up reading her the script over the phone, finally convincing her to take on the role.

    • According to Quentin Tarantino, Jennifer Aniston narrowly missed out on the role of Mia Wallace to Uma Thurman.

    • Harvey Keitel convinced his friend Bruce Willis to take part in the film, knowing that Willis had been a big fan of Reservoir Dogs (1992). Bruce Willis worked on the film for only eighteen days.

    • Quentin Tarantino wrote the character of Winston “The Wolf” Wolfe specifically for Harvey Keitel.

    • Quentin Tarantino wrote the role of Jules specifically for Samuel L. Jackson, however, it was almost given to Paul Calderon after a great audition. When Jackson heard this, he flew to Los Angeles and auditioned again to secure the role. Calderon ended up with a small role, as Paul.

    • Mickey Rourke passed on the role of Butch Coolidge in order to pursue his boxing career. He also claimed that he didn’t understand the script. He later regretted this decision.

    • The role of Lance was written for John Cusack, but once he passed on the role, the second choice for the role, Eric Stoltz, was cast.
  • Trivia

    • Something bad happened every time Vincent (John Travolta) went to the bathroom (always with a “pulp fiction” book to read), which, upon his exiting, involved him (Mia overdosing, Pumpkin and Honey Bunny robbing the restaurant, Butch shooting him).

    • Blonde, a.k.a. Vic Vega, played by Michael Madsen in Reservoir Dogs (1992), is the brother of Vincent Vega. Quentin Tarantino even had a spin-off film in development, titled “Double V Vega”, which was a prequel to both movies. This film was scrapped, because both actors were too old to play younger versions of themselves.

    • The movie cost only $8 million to make. The initial budget was reportedly even lower until Bruce Willis was added to the cast (he had a recent string of domestic flops but was still a box-office draw overseas). $5 million went to pay the actors’ and actresses’ salaries. The film was already profitable when its worldwide rights were sold for $11 million (again, mainly on the strength of Willis’ presence). It went on to gross over $200 million at the box office. The largest chunk of the budget, $150,000, went to creating the Jack Rabbit Slim’s set.

    • When Vincent is at Lance’s house he says that the other day someone keyed his car. This took place at Wallace’s strip club. In an interview Tarantino was asked about that. He said that the person who keyed the car was Butch the boxer, who Vincent had insulted that night.

    • The 1964 Chevelle Malibu convertible driven by Vincent Vega (John Travolta) belonged to writer and director Quentin Tarantino, and was stolen during production of the film. In 2013, a police officer saw two kids stripping an older car. He arrested them, and while looking up the owner of the vehicle he found the VIN had been altered. It turned out that it was Tarantino’s stolen car. The owner had recently purchased it and had no idea it was stolen.

    • The quote Jules uses is supposed to be from Ezekiel 25:17 in the Old Testament. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) when Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson) stands by the headstone at his grave, the marker reads “THE PATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS MAN…” EZEKIEL 25:17.

    • Vincent Vega is the only character who is present in every segment of the film: “Vincent Vega and Marsellus Wallace’s Wife”, “The Gold Watch”, “The Bonnie Situation”, and “The Diner”.

    • The screenplay says that Zed and Maynard are brothers

    • The passage from the Bible that Jules has memorized was mostly made up by Quentin Tarantino and Samuel L. Jackson. The first part about the righteous man and the tyranny of evil men is not real. However the second half, “And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee”, is a direct quote from Ezekiel 25:17. It’s likely that Tarantino included it as a reference to the Shin’ichi “Sonny” Chiba film Bodigaado Kiba (1973) as the quote is almost word for word from the opening scene. Tarantino has also said that he is big fan of the actor, and is therefore likely to have seen the movie.

    • Towards the end of the film, Jules says he wants to retire and become a drifter. In Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004), Samuel L. Jackson turned up as Rufus, a piano playing drifter

    • Mia Wallace’s comment “An Elvis man should love this” is a reference to a deleted scene (included in some edited for television versions) where Mia claims that everyone can be classified as either an “Elvis” (Elvis Presley) person or a “Beatles” (The Beatles) person. She bets Vincent that he is an “Elvis”, and he confirms it.

    • Although widely regarded as John Travolta’s second comeback film (Look Who’s Talking (1989) was his first), it served a similar purpose for Bruce Willis, whose films outside of the Die Hard franchise had been considered disappointments (except for Look Who’s Talking (1989)).

    • The man who burst from the bathroom in Brett’s apartment was played by the then-named Robert Arquette (whose sister, Rosanna Arquette, played Jody). However, she was listed in the credits as “Alexis Arquette”, the name she later adopted after coming out as a transgender woman.

    • The end credits mention “Special Thanks to Jennifer Beals”. The actress was close friends with Quentin Tarantino back in the nineties. He often stayed at her house, while struggling as a director before making this movie.

    • John Travolta ad-libbed the line “That’s a pretty good question” after Uma Thurman asks why it’s necessary to talk about bullshit.

    • It is strongly implied that Fabienne was pregnant with Butch’s child: she had talked about looking at herself in the mirror, picturing herself with a potbelly and how good she would look with it. After having a shower, Fabienne goes to tell Butch something but sees that he is fast asleep and says “never mind”. The next morning she talks about having a very large and unusual breakfast, which is uncommon for a woman so petite who isn’t pregnant.

    • At Jack Rabbit Slim’s, Mia Wallace tells Vincent Vega about the pilot she starred in called “Fox Force Five”. Wallace describes the other girls in the force, “There was a blonde one … she was a leader. The Japanese fox was a kung fu master. The black girl was a demolition expert. French fox’s specialty was sex. [Mine was] knives.” So, Mia was talking specifically about the Kill Bill which would be in theaters in 9 years.

    • In the special features, Tarantino describes Pulp Fiction as a salvation film, with the three parts of the anthology seeing the salvation of Pumpkin and Honey Bunny, the salvation of Jules, and the salvation of Butch and Fabienne.

    • John Travolta said that the iconic look of Vincent Vega, like the long hair and cigarette, was his idea. Quentin Tarantino originally wanted Travolta to play Vega with his more or less normal appearance, but approved Travolta’s ideas about his character when presented to him.

    • What was in the case?
      • Diamonds from Reservoir Dogs
      • Elvis’s gold suit from True Romance
      • Marcellus Soul from a deal with the devil (band-aid represents where his soul was taken)
      • An orange bulb
      • In a radio interview with Howard Stern in late 2003, Quentin Tarantino was asked by a caller the contents of the briefcase, and he answered, “It’s whatever the viewer wants it to be.”

    • Foreshadowing: Jules remarked that “Marcellus Wallace don’t like to be fucked by anybody but Mrs. Wallace”, “foreshadowing” his later scene with Zed. Marcellus also demonstrated what happens to those who break this rule.

    • The word “fuck” is used 265 times.

    • Body count: eight (six on-screen, two mentioned).

Quotes

Henry Hill: You're a pistol, you're really funny. You're really funny.

Tommy DeVito: What do you mean I'm funny?

Henry Hill: It's funny, you know. It's a good story, it's funny, you're a funny guy.

[laughs]

Tommy DeVito: What do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?

Henry Hill: It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's... funny, you know the way you tell the story and everything.

Tommy DeVito: [it becomes quiet] Funny how? What's funny about it?

Anthony Stabile: Tommy no, you got it all wrong.

Tommy DeVito: Oh, oh, Anthony. He's a big boy, he knows what he said. What did ya say? Funny how?

Henry Hill: Jus...

Tommy DeVito: What?

Henry Hill: Just... ya know... you're funny.

Tommy DeVito: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?

Henry Hill: Just... you know, how you tell the story, what?

Tommy DeVito: No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the fuck am I funny, what the fuck is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny!

Henry Hill: [long pause] Get the fuck out of here, Tommy!

Tommy DeVito: [everyone laughs] Ya motherfucker! I almost had him, I almost had him. Ya stuttering prick ya. Frankie, was he shaking? I wonder about you sometimes, Henry. You may fold under questioning.


Henry Hill: [narrating] As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster.


Henry Hill: [narrating] You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to, uh, somebody, "You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a good fella. He's one of us." You understand? We were good fellas. Wiseguys. But Jimmy and I could never be made because we had Irish blood. It didn't even matter that my mother was Sicilian. To become a member of a crew you've got to be one hundred per cent Italian so they can trace all your relatives back to the old country. See, it's the highest honor they can give you. It means you belong to a family and crew. It means that nobody can fuck around with you. It also means you could fuck around with anybody just as long as they aren't also a member. It's like a license to steal. It's a license to do anything. As far as Jimmy was concerned with Tommy being made, it was like we were all being made. We would now have one of our own as a member.


Henry Hill: [narrating] Paulie may have moved slow, but it was only because Paulie didn't have to move for anybody.


Tommy DeVito: No more shines, Billy.

Billy Batts: What?

Tommy DeVito: I said, no more shines. Maybe you didn't hear about it, you've been away a long time. They didn't go up there and tell you. I don't shine shoes anymore.

Billy Batts: Relax, will ya? Ya flip right out, what's got into you? I'm breaking your balls a little bit, that's all. I'm only kidding with ya...

Tommy DeVito: Sometimes you don't sound like you're kidding, you know, there's a lotta people around...

Billy Batts: I'm only kidding with you, we're having a party, I just came home and I haven't seen you in a long time and I'm breaking your balls, and you're getting fucking fresh. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.

Tommy DeVito: I'm sorry too. It's okay. No problem.

Billy Batts: Okay, salud.

Billy Batts: [takes a drink] Now go home and get your fuckin' shinebox.

Tommy DeVito: Mother fuckin' mutt! You, you fucking piece of shit!

Billy Batts: [taunting] Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on, come on, come on!

Tommy DeVito: Motherfucking... He bought his fucking button! That fake old tough guy! You bought your fucking button! You mother fuck... Fuck! Keep that motherfucker here, keep him here!

[leaves]


[last lines]

Henry Hill: [narrating] Anything I wanted was a phone call away. Free cars. The keys to a dozen hideout flats all over the city. I bet twenty, thirty grand over a weekend and then I'd either blow the winnings in a week or go to the sharks to pay back the bookies.

[Henry leaves the witness stand and speaks directly to the camera]

Henry Hill: Didn't matter. It didn't mean anything. When I was broke, I'd go out and rob some more. We ran everything. We paid off cops. We paid off lawyers. We paid off judges. Everybody had their hands out. Everything was for the taking. And now it's all over.

[narrating]

Henry Hill: And that's the hardest part. Today everything is different; there's no action... have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food - right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce, and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody... get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.


Stacks Edwards: What time is it?

Tommy DeVito: It's eleven thirty, we're supposed to be there by nine.

Stacks Edwards: Be ready in a minute.

Tommy DeVito: Yeah, you were always fuckin' late, you were late for your own fuckin' funeral.

[shoots him]


Henry Hill: [narrating] Now the guy's got Paulie as a partner. Any problems, he goes to Paulie. Trouble with the bill? He can go to Paulie. Trouble with the cops, deliveries, Tommy, he can call Paulie. But now the guy's gotta come up with Paulie's money every week, no matter what. Business bad? Fuck you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning, huh? Fuck you, pay me.


Henry Hill: [narrating] Jimmy was the kind of guy that rooted for bad guys in the movies.


Henry Hill: [narrating, Henry has just been busted for dealing drugs] For a second I thought I was dead. But, when I heard all the noise, I knew they were cops. Only cops talk that way. If they'd been wiseguys, I wouldn't have heard a thing. I would've been dead.


Jimmy Conway: [after Tommy shoots Spider] What's the fuckin' matter with you? What - what is the fuckin' matter with you? What are you, stupid or what? Tommy, Tommy, I'm kidding with you. What the fuck are you doin'? What are you, a fuckin' sick maniac?

Tommy DeVito: How am I meant to know you're kidding? What you mean, you're kidding? You breaking my fuckin' balls?

Jimmy Conway: I'm fuckin' kidding with you! You fuckin' shoot the guy?

Henry Hill: He's dead.

Tommy DeVito: Good shot. What do you want from me? Good shot.

Anthony Stabile: How could you miss at this distance?

Tommy DeVito: What? You got a problem with what I did Anthony?

Anthony Stabile: No

Tommy DeVito: Fuckin' rat anyway. His family's all rats. He'll grow up to be a rat.

Jimmy Conway: You stupid bastard, I can't fuckin' believe you. Now, you're gonna dig the fuckin' thing now. You're gonna dig the hole. You're gonna do it. I got no fuckin' lime. You're gonna do it.

Tommy DeVito: Who the fuck cares? I'll dig the fuckin' hole. I don't give a fuck. What is it, the first hole I dug? Not the first time I dug a hole. I'll fuckin' dig a hole. Where are the shovels?


Henry Hill: [narrating] And then there was Jimmy Two Times, who got that nickname because he said everything twice, like:

Jimmy Two Times: I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers.


Henry Hill: [narrating] If you're part of a crew, nobody ever tells you that they're going to kill you, doesn't happen that way. There weren't any arguments or curses like in the movies. See, your murderers come with smiles, they come as your friends, the people who've cared for you all of your life. And they always seem to come at a time that you're at your weakest and most in need of their help.


Henry Hill: I swear to my fucking mother, if you touch her again, YOU'RE DEAD.


Karen: [narrating] I know there are women, like my best friends, who would have gotten out of there the minute their boyfriend gave them a gun to hide. But I didn't. I got to admit the truth. It turned me on.


Jimmy Conway: I'm not mad, I'm proud of you. You took your first pinch like a man and you learn two great things in your life. Look at me, never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.


Spider: [hesitating] Why don't you go fuck yourself, Tommy?

Jimmy Conway: [stunned silence] Whoa! Can't believe what I just heard. Hey Spider, here. This is for you.

[tosses money on the table]

Jimmy Conway: Attaboy! I got respect for this kid. He's got a lot of fucking balls. Good for you! Don't take no shit off nobody.


Henry Hill: [narrating] For us to live any other way was nuts. Uh, to us, those goody-good people who worked shitty jobs for bum paychecks and took the subway to work every day, and worried about their bills, were dead. I mean, they were suckers. They had no balls. If we wanted something, we just took it. If anyone complained twice they got hit so bad, believe me, they never complained again.


Henry Hill: [narrating] One day some of the kids from the neighborhood carried my mother's groceries all the way home. You know why? It was outta respect.


Karen: What do you do?

Henry Hill: I'm in construction.

Karen: [She feels the softness of his hands] They don't feel like you're in construction.

Henry Hill: Ah, I'm a union delegate.


Jimmy Conway: [after kicking Batts to near death] Look what this fucking mutt did to my shoes.


Tommy DeVito: Sure, mom, I settle down with a nice girl every night, then I'm free the next morning.


Tommy DeVito: We hit the deer and his paw... What do you call it? The paw.

Jimmy Conway: [Speaking through a mouth full of pasta] The hoof.

Tommy DeVito: It got caught in the grill. I got to hack it off.


Henry Hill: [narrating] I felt he used too many onions, but it was still a very good sauce.

Paul Cicero: Vinnie, don't put too many onions in the sauce.

Vinnie: I didn't put too much onions, uh, Paul. Three small onions. That's all I did.

Johnny Dio: Three onions? How many cans of tomatoes you put in there?

Vinnie: I put two cans, two big cans.

Johnny Dio: You don't need three onions.


Henry Hill: [narrating] Killing's got to be accepted. Murder was the only way that everybody stayed in line. You got out of line, you got whacked. Everybody knew the rules.


Tommy DeVito: [sitting in car with Henry] The only thing, is she won't go out with me alone, you know?

Henry Hill: No.

Tommy DeVito: No, what?

Henry Hill: No.

Tommy DeVito: No, what, Henry? Who the fuck asked you anything? I didn't even ask you anything, at least hear what I have to say.

Henry Hill: Alright, what?

Tommy DeVito: Okay, what? She don't want to go out with Italians alone. She's prejudiced against Italians. Do you believe that? In this day and age? What the fuck is the world coming to? I can't believe this, prejudiced against Ital - a Jew broad - prejudiced against Italians. Anyway, she won't go out with me alone unless her girlfriend comes with her, so I figured you could come along and go out with her girlfriend.

Henry Hill: See? I knew it - I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.

Tommy DeVito: You knew what, Henry? See? What? What the fuck is wrong with that?

Henry Hill: When is this?

Tommy DeVito: Tomorrow night.

Henry Hill: I can't tomorrow night, I gotta meet Tuddy.

Tommy DeVito: You could meet Tuddy. You could fucking come early and then still go.

Henry Hill: Tommy, Tommy. Why do you always do this to me?

Tommy DeVito: Don't give me that fucking "Tommy" shit. What the fuck I asked you for, Henry? I asked you for a favor. I do a lot of fucking favors for you, don't I? I'm trying to bang this fucking broad, you wanna help me out!

[view switches to outside of car with view of restaurant, smoke billows from restaurant windows]

Tommy DeVito: It's like... uh... ah...

Henry Hill: What?

Tommy DeVito: I don't understand you! She's fucking beautiful. Her fucking family, they live in the Five Towns there. You know these Jew broads got a lot of money. Maybe the family owns the whole fucking block. and you happen to end up with a big fucking score, motherfucker.

Henry Hill: [turning to look at the restaurant] Oh fuck!

Tommy DeVito: What?

Henry Hill: See? With your fucking mouth!

[car speeds away]


Henry Hill: [narrating] All they got from Paulie was protection from other guys looking to rip them off. That's what it's all about. That's what the FBI can never understand - that what Paulie and the organization offer is protection for the kinds of guys who can't go to the cops. They're like the police department for wiseguys.


Henry Hill: [narrating] It was revenge for Billy Batts, and a lot of other things. And there was nothing that we could do about it. Batts was a made man, and Tommy wasn't. And we had to sit still and take it. It was among the Italians. It was real greaseball shit. They even shot Tommy in the face so his mother couldn't give him an open coffin at the funeral.


Henry Hill: [narrating] Whenever we needed money, we'd rob the airport. To us, it was better than Citibank.


Tommy DeVito: [Tommy mocks at Spider] Oklahoma Kid. That's me. I'm the Oklahoma Kid. You fuckin' varmint! Dance. Dance. YAHOO, YA MOTHERFUCKER!

[shoots Spider in the foot]


Henry Hill: [narrating; Paul is slicing the garlic with a razor] In prison, dinner was always a big thing. We had a pasta course and then we had a meat or fish. Paulie did the prep work. He was doing a year for contempt, and he had this wonderful system for doing the garlic. He used a razor, and he used to slice it so thin that he used to liquefy in the pan with just a little oil. It was a very good system.


Pete the Killer: [points] By the way, I took care of that thing for ya.


Henry Hill: [narrating] Jimmy had never asked me to do a hit before, and now he's asking me to go down to Florida with Anthony to make a hit.

[Jimmy gives him a pack of matches with a number]

Henry Hill: [narrating] That's when I knew I would never have come back from Florida alive.


Henry Hill: [narrating] When they found Carbone in the meat truck, he was frozen so stiff it took them three days to thaw him out for the autopsy.


Tommy DeVito: You know Spider, you're a fuckin' mumbling stuttering little fuck. You know that?


Tommy DeVito: Hey, Spider, that fuckin' bandage on your foot is bigger than your fuckin' head.


Paul Cicero: I don't want any more of that shit.

Henry Hill: What shit? What are you talking about?

Paul Cicero: Just stay away from the garbage, you know what I mean.

Henry Hill: Look, Paulie...

Paul Cicero: I'm not talking about what you did inside, you did what you had to do, I'm talking about now, from now, here and now.

Henry Hill: Paulie, why would I want to get into that...

Paul Cicero: Don't make a jerk out of me, just don't do it... just don't do it. Now I want to talk to you about Jimmy, you have to watch out for him. He's a good earner but he's wild, takes too many chances.

Henry Hill: Yeah, I know that, I know Jimmy, you think I would take chances like Jimmy?

Paul Cicero: And Tommy, he's a good kid too. But he's crazy, he's a cowboy, he's got too much to prove. You gotta watch out for kids like this.

Henry Hill: Yeah, I know what they are, I only use them for certain things, believe me, you don't have to worry.

Paul Cicero: Listen, I ain't gonna get fucked like Gribbs, understand? Gribbs is 70 years old, and the fuckin' guy's gonna die in prison. I don't need that. So I'm warning everybody, EVERYBODY. It could be my son, it could be anybody. Gribbs got 20 years just for saying "hello" to some fuck who was sneaking behind his back selling junk. I don't need that. Ain't gonna happen to me, you understand?

Henry Hill: Uh huh.

Paul Cicero: You know that you're only out early because I got you a job. I don't need this heat, understand that.

Henry Hill: Uh huh.

Paul Cicero: And you see anybody fucking around with this shit, you're going to tell me, right?

Henry Hill: Yeah.

Paul Cicero: [slaps him] That means anybody!

Henry Hill: All right.

Paul Cicero: Yeah?

Henry Hill: Yeah, of course.


Billy Batts: Hey Jimmy! What's right is right. You understand what I'm talking about?

Jimmy Conway: It's all right. It's all right.

Billy Batts: No. The kid's over here. We're hugging and kissing over here. And two minutes later, he's acting like a fucking jerk.

Jimmy Conway: No, no, no, no, no. You insulted him a little bit. You got a little bit out of order yourself.

Billy Batts: No I didn't insult him. I didn't insult him.

Jimmy Conway: I'm sorry. You insulted him a little bit.

Billy Batts: No, I didn't insult nobody. Give us a drink. Give us a drink.


Jimmy Conway: Yeah.

Vinnie: Yeah.

Jimmy Conway: Who's this?

Vinnie: This is Vinnie.

Jimmy Conway: Vinnie, what happened?

Vinnie: Well we-...

Jimmy Conway: You get it straightened out?

Vinnie: No, we had a problem... and uh, we tried to do everything we could.

Jimmy Conway: What d'you mean?

Vinnie: Well, you know what I mean. He's gone, and we couldn't do nothing about it.

[pause]

Vinnie: That's it.

Jimmy Conway: What d'you mean? What d'you mean? Uh...

Vinnie: He's gone. Uh, he's gone.

[pause]

Vinnie: And that's it.

Jimmy Conway: [smashing telephone] Fuck. Can't fuckin' believe that, can't fuckin'...

Jimmy Conway: [crying] Fuck it, fuck... the fuck...

[Henry exits diner]

Henry Hill: What happened?

Jimmy Conway: They whacked him. They fuckin' whacked him.

Henry Hill: Aw, fuck.

[Jimmy kicks phone booth]

Jimmy Conway: Motherfucker!

[pushes over phone booth]

Jimmy Conway: [cries]


Henry Hill: [narrating] And when the cops, when they assigned a whole army to stop Jimmy, what'd he do? He made 'em partners.


Janice Rossi: [Karen buzzing over and over on her husband's girlfriend's intercom] Hello. Hello?

Karen: Hello? This is Karen Hill, I want to talk to you.

[pressing the 2R button, she hangs up]

Karen: Hello? Don't hang up on me! I want to talk to you! You keep away from my husband, you hear me? Hello? Open the door!

[keeps hitting the buttons]

Karen: ANSWER ME!

[she keeps pressing the 2R button]

Karen: I'm going to tell everybody who walks in this building that in 2R, Rossi, you're nothing but a whore!

[gets on phone]

Karen: Is this the superintendent?... Yes, I want you to know, sir! That you have a whore living in 2R!

Janice Rossi: Shit.

Karen: [hits the 2R button] Rossi! Janice Rossi, do you hear me? He's MY husband! Get your own goddamn man!


Tommy DeVito: Just don't go busting my balls, Billy, okay?

Billy Batts: Hey, Tommy, if I was gonna break your balls, I'd tell you to go home and get your shine box.

[to his friends]

Billy Batts: Now this kid, this kid was great. They, they used to call him Spitshine Tommy.


Tommy DeVito: He said, "No, you're gonna tell me something today, tough guy." I said, "All right, I'll tell you something: go fuck your mother."


Jimmy Conway: [Frenchy is describing a large shipment of cash at Idlewild Airport to Jimmy and Henry] What about the security?

Frenchy: Security? You're looking at it.


Tommy DeVito: All right, so he got shot in the foot, what is it, a big fuckin' deal?


Karen: [narrating] After awhile, it got to be all normal. None of it seemed like crime. It was more like Henry was enterprising, and that he and the guys were making a few bucks hustling, while all the other guys were sitting on their asses, waiting for handouts. Our husbands weren't brain surgeons, they were blue-collar guys. The only way they could make extra money, real extra money, was to go out and cut a few corners.

[Cuts to Henry and Tommy hijacking a truck]


Billy Batts: Give us a drink. And give some to those Irish hoodlums down there.

Jimmy Conway: There's only one Irishman in here.

Billy Batts: On the house. Salud.

Jimmy Conway: Top of the mornin'.


Johnny Dio: How do you like your steak?

Paul Cicero: Medium rare.

Johnny Dio: Huh. An aristocrat.


Henry Hill: Now take me to jail.


Henry Hill: [after Karen points gun at him while he's sleeping] I got enough to worry about getting whacked on the street! I gotta come home for this? I should fucking kill you!


Karen: [narrating] One night, Bobby Vinton sent us champagne. There was nothing like it. I didn't think there was anything strange in any of this. You know, a twenty-one-year-old kid with such connections. He was an exciting guy. He was really nice. He introduced me to everybody. Everybody wanted to be nice to him. And he knew how to handle it.


Tommy DeVito: What the fuck you looking at? Come on. Make that coffee to go. Let's go.

[Frankie mumbles something and goes to the door with the coffee pot in his hand]

Tommy DeVito: What the fuck are you doing? It's a joke! A joke! Put the fucking pot down!


Tommy DeVito: What am I, a mirage?


Karen: [narrating] It was like he had two families. The first time I was introduced to all of them at once, it was crazy. Paulie and his brothers had lots of sons and nephews. And almost all of them were named Peter or Paul. It was unbelievable. There must have been two dozen Peters and Pauls at the wedding. Plus, they were all married to girls named Marie. And they named all their daughters Marie. By the time I finished meeting everybody, I thought I was drunk.


Morrie: Henry, you're a good kid, I've been good to you, you've been good to me. But there's something really unreasonable going on here. Jimmy's being an unconsionable ball-breaker. I never agreed to 3 points on top of the vig! Am I something special? Some sort of schmuck on wheels?

Henry Hill: Morrie, please! You borrowed Jimmy's money, pay him.

Morrie: I never agreed to 3 points on top of the vig! What am I, fuckin nuts? Come on!

Henry Hill: Are you gonna argue with Jimmy Conway? Just give him his money so we can get the fuck outta here!

Morrie: Hey! Fuck 'em! Fuck 'em in the ear! What are you talking about? Fuck 'em in the other ear, that son of a bitch! Did I ever bust his balls? Did I? Did I? I could've jumped the dime a million times, and I wouldn't have to pay tip!

Henry Hill: Come on, Morrie, you're talking crazy, stop it!

Jimmy Conway: [Grabs telephone cord and chokes Morrie with it, then his wig falls off and Henry starts laughing] You got money for that fuckin' commercial. Fuckin' commercial, you don't got my money, you don't got my fuckin' money, huh?

Henry Hill: Jimmy, he'll pay, he'll pay.

Jimmy Conway: I'll fuckin' kill you, get the money, you fuckin' cocksucker, you hear me?

[Phone rings]

Jimmy Conway: Pay me my money.

Morrie: Hello? Who's this? He's here.

[Gives phone to Henry]

Morrie: Jimmy, I'm sorry.

Jimmy Conway: Yeah? You should be sorry. Don't fuckin' do it again and give me the money. Give me the fuckin' money, You hear me? You hear me, I gotta come here and you bust my balls? Give me the fuckin' money.

Morrie: OK, OK, OK. I'll pay you, kid.


Sonny Bunz: But I'm worried, I mean, I'm hearin' all kinds a fuckin' bad things. I mean he's treating me like I'm a fuckin' half-a-fag or somethin'. I'm gonna wind up a lammist, I gotta go on the fuckin' lam in order to get away from this guy? This ain't right, Paulie.


Karen: [after Henry has stood her up on what was to be their second date] You got some nerve standing me up like that last night! Nobody does that to me! Who the Hell do you think you are? Frankie Valli or some kinda bigshot?


Henry Hill: [narrating] So what does she do after she hangs up with me? After everything I told her? After all her "yeah, yeah, yeah" bullshit? She picks up the phone and calls from the house. Now, if anybody was listening, they'd know everything - they knew a package was leaving from my house - they'd even have the time and flight number, thanks to her.


Jimmy Conway: [referring to Henry and Karen] She'll never divorce him. She'll kill him but she won't divorce him.


Henry Hill: [voiceover] I could see for the first time that Jimmy was a nervous wreck. His mind was going in eight different directions at once.

Jimmy Conway: Think Morrie tells his wife everything?

Henry Hill: Morrie? Him?

Henry Hill: [voiceover] That's when I knew that Jimmy was gonna whack Morrie. That's how it happens. That's how fast it takes for a guy to get whacked.


Henry Hill: [With the suitcase open on the desk, Henry counts out stacks of cash] Thirty-five, forty, forty-five, fifty, sixty thousand.

Jimmy Conway: It's gonna be a good summer.


Henry Hill: [narrating] Thirty-two hundred dollars he gave me. Thirty-two hundred dollars for a lifetime. It wasn't even enough to pay for the coffin.


Tommy DeVito: What the fuck are you doing? You're hanging around my fuckin' neck like a vulture, like impending danger.


Morrie: [on Morrie's wig commercial] Don't buy wigs that come off at the wrong time.


Tommy DeVito: [about Morrie's corpse] Hey Frank, let's chop him up.

Frankie Carbone: All right.

[starts to get out of the car]

Tommy DeVito: Where you going? Where you going, you dizzy motherfucker, you?

Frankie Carbone: To chop him up.

Tommy DeVito: At Charlie's, not here!

[Carbone mumbles to himself in Italian]

Tommy DeVito: Come on, what are you doing? Let's get the fuck outta here. I oughta let him

[motions to Morrie]

Tommy DeVito: fucking drive. What are you waiting for?

Frankie Carbone: The car's cold.

Tommy DeVito: Get the fuck outta here! What fucking warm enough? Get outta here!


Billy Batts: [under his breath after Tommy leaves the bar] I'll fuck him in his ass. I fucked kids like him in the can in the ass. Fuckin' trying to break up my party.


Henry Hill: [narrating] By the time I grew up, there was thirty billion a year in cargo moving through Idlewild Airport and believe me, we tried to steal every bit of it.


Tommy DeVito: [Infuriated at Spider and speaking to the other card players] Hey, what's that movie that Bogart made?

Anthony Stabile: Which one?

Tommy DeVito: The one where he played a cowboy. He only did one.

Anthony Stabile: Oh... ah... The Oklahoma Kid.

Jimmy Conway: Shane?

Tommy DeVito: Oklahoma Kid!

Tommy DeVito: [to Jimmy] Shane...

[They all laugh]


Tommy DeVito: [Henry, Jimmy and Tommy are digging up Billy Batts' decomposed corpse. Henry is coughing from the stench, while the others don't appear to be bothered] Hey, Henry, Henry, hurry up, will ya? My mother's gonna make some fried peppers and sausage for us.

[Jimmy and Tommy laugh while Henry coughs]

Jimmy Conway: Oh, hey, Henry, Henry! Here's an arm!

Henry Hill: Very funny, guys.

Jimmy Conway: Here's a leg!

Tommy DeVito: Here's a wing!

[laughs]

Tommy DeVito: Hey, what do you like, the leg or the wing, Henry? Or ya still go for the old hearts and lungs?

Henry Hill: [Vomiting] Oh, that's so bad!


Paul Cicero: Tommy's a bad seed. What am I supposed to do? Shoot him?

Sonny Bunz: That wouldn't be a bad idea.


Jimmy Conway: Watch this.

Henry Hill: Ah, don't fuck with them.

Jimmy Conway: I do it all the time. Bust their fucking balls.

Henry Hill: Don't give 'em the satisfaction, the fucks.

Jimmy Conway: [taps on car window of two cops following him, who had fallen asleep] Come on, fuckos, let's go for a ride.

[he and Henry laugh]

Jimmy Conway: Keep 'em up all night.


Tuddy Cicero: [as Paulie is being arrested] Why don't you boys go down to Wall Street and find some real crooks? Whoever sold you those suits had a wonderful sense of humor.


[first lines]

Henry Hill: The fuck is that?


Tommy DeVito: "What do you want to tell me now, tough guy?" I said, "Bing, what are you doing here? I thought I told you to go fuck your mother!"

[group laughs]

Tommy DeVito: I thought he was gonna shit!


Police Detective: [to Henry] Talk to me, when was the last time you took a collar? Hey fuckhead, I'm talking to you. You don't wanna say a fucking word to me, you don't have to. I don't really give a fuck. Twenty five years, pal, that's what you're looking at. Hey, your pals are here. You don't want to talk to me, you're gonna have a fucking problem all night 'cause I'll be on you like shit. New York State. Twenty five fucking years, pal.

[the detectives bring in the utensils Henry used to make coke]

Police Detective: What, were you guys grocery shopping? What, are we going to make a cake? Gonna make a fucking cake? Got anything good in there or what?

[a detective tastes the residue in a pan]

Police Detective: Is it good?

[detective nods; to Henry]

Police Detective: Ha ha ha ha. Bye bye, dickhead. Ha ha ha. See you in Attica, dick.


Karen: [narrating, referring to the other wives] They all had bad skin and wore too much make up. They didn't look very good; they look beat up. The stuff they wore were thrown together and cheap, a lot of pantsuits and double knits. They talked about beating their kids with broom handles and leather belts, and that their kids still didn't pay any attention. When Henry picked me up, I was dizzy.


Morrie: [Talking about point shaving] Oh, it was terrific, yeah. Nunzio, up in... agh!

[Tommy severs Morrie's brain stem from behind with an ice pick]

Tommy DeVito: Thought he'd never shut the fuck up.

Jimmy Conway: Ah, pain in the ass.


Jimmy Conway: [Johnny bought an expensive pink Cadillac coupe for his wife after the Lufthansa Heist] Johnny, are you nuts? We got a million fucking bulls out there. Everybody's watching us and you get a fuckin' car!

Johnny Roastbeef: It's under my mother's name. It's wedding gift.

Jimmy Conway: I don't give a fuck whose name it's on! Are you stupid or what? Did you hear what I said? Don't buy anything, don't get anything! Nothing big. Didn't you hear what I said? What's the matter with you?

Johnny Roastbeef: What am I getting excited for, Jimmy?

Jimmy Conway: Why am I getting all excited about it? Because you're gonna get us all fucking pinched, that's why! What are you, stupid? What's the matter with you? What's the matter with you?

Johnny Roastbeef: I'm sorry, Jimmy.

Jimmy Conway: What the fuck is the matter with you?

Johnny Roastbeef: It's under my mother's name.

Jimmy Conway: [exasperated while interrupting] What did you say? You being a wiseguy with me? What did I tell you? What did I tell you? You don't buy anything, you hear me? Don't buy ANYTHING!

Johnny Roastbeef: I'm sorry.

[to his wife]

Johnny Roastbeef: Let's go have a drink

Jimmy Conway: [to the other bar patrons] That fat fuck! He oughta wear a sign.


Henry Hill: It was easy for all of us to disappear. My house was in my mother-in-law's name. My cars were registered to my wife. My social security cards and driver's licenses were phonies. I never voted. I never paid taxes. My birth certificate and my arrest sheet... that's all you'd ever have to know I was alive.


Stacks Edwards: This drink is better than sex, baby.


Tommy DeVito: I didn't want to get blood on your floor.


Henry Hill: [Narrating] These are the guys Jimmy put together for what turned out to be the biggest heist in American history: the Lufthansa heist. Tommy and Carbone were going to grab the outside guard and make him get us in the front door, Frenchy and Joe Buddha had to round up the workers, Johnny Roastbeef had to keep them all tied up and away from the alarm, even Stacks Edwards got in on it, all he was supposed to do was steal the panel truck and afterwards compact it with a friend of ours in New Jersey. Only Morrie was driving us nuts - just because he set this up, he felt he could bust Jimmy's balls for an advance on the money we were going to steal. He didn't mean anything by it; it was just the way he was.


Young Henry: [after being whipped by father, for missing months of school to work at cab stand] The way I saw it, everybody takes a beating sometime.


Tommy's Mother: Has Tommy ever told you about my painting?


Karen: Please stop feeding the dog from the table... from the plate on top of it.


Frankie Carbone: I could never hit that number.

[unintelligible]

Tommy DeVito: Frankie, Frankie, Frankie. What the fuck does 528 have to do with 460? I can't believe this guy. Fuckin' 528 ain't even close to 460. Now what the fuck does that got to do with anything?

Frankie Carbone: Eh, I been playin' that numba for three years.


Tommy DeVito: What, do you got me on a fuckin' pay-no-mind list, kid?


Tommy DeVito: [Tommy holds up a gun at the truck driver he's hijacking] Where's the strong box, you fuckin' varmint, you?


Paul Cicero: You know anything about this fucking restaurant business?

Sonny Bunz: [Talking to Henry] He knows everything about it. I mean, he's in the joint 24 hours a day. I mean, another fucking few minutes, he could be a stool, that's how often he's in there.


Henry Hill: [narrating] I only bought the damn guns because he wanted them, and now he didn't want them.

Jimmy Conway: What the fuck are these? None of them fit. What's the matter with you? What, do you want me to pay for this shit? I'm not paying for it!

Henry Hill: [narrating] I didn't say a thing. He was so pissed off, he didn't even say goodbye.

Jimmy Conway: Stop with those fucking drugs. They're making your mind into mush. You hear me? Take 'em back!


Truck Driver: [Henry and Tommy just boosted a rig] Hey, you got a phone? Two niggers just stole my truck. You believe that shit, huh? You fuckin' believe that?


Jimmy Conway: [threatening Morrie] Today! Today!


Jimmy Conway: [repeated line to each member of his crew after the Lufthansa heist, telling them what not to do] you don't buy anything

Jimmy Conway: [repeated line to each member of his crew after the Lufthansa heist, warning them what will happen if they purchase extravagant items] don't attract attention


Frankie Carbone: [Morrie jokes at the table] Morrie, stop breaking my balls, all right?


Henry Hill: [Repeated line, narrating while attempting to convince the audience the criminal exploits he was apart of and occurred without exaggerating the events] believe me...


Johnny Dio: Medium rare. Hmmm... an aristocrat.
