Quotes
See all →The Company of the Dead
Pete
I'm sorry. I thought you might've liked a bit of company.
Johnny Quid
I'm dead Pete. What does that tell you? It tells you that dead people don't like company.
A Conversation About Timing and Expectations
One Two
So you don't wanna know what happened?
Stella
I know what happened. Hollandaise?
One Two
I see you ordered already
Stella
You were late. Shouldn't you've taken precautions?
One Two
Precations?
Stella
Well, that's your job, isn't it? I didn't realize.
One Two
Realize? Realize that they had guns? Big, long, dangerous machine guns? With war criminals attached to the trigger? You know what, darling? I'm just gonna leave this laundry bag here, under the table for you, okey? Goodbye, sweetheart. You're way too dangerous for me.
The Illusion of Glamour and Its Consequences
Johnny Quid
You see that pack of Virginia killing sticks on the end of the piano?
[playing piano softly]
Pete
Yes.
Johnny Quid
All you need to know about life is retained within those four walls. You will notice that one of your personalities is seduced by the illusions of grandeur - the gold packet of king size with a regal insignia, an attractive implication towards glamor and wealth; the subtle suggestion that cigarettes are indeed your royal and loyal friends, and that, Pete, is a lie. Your other personality is trying to draw your attention to the flip side of the discussion, written in boring bold black and white, it's a statement that these neat little soldiers of death are, in fact, trying to kill you and that, Pete, is the truth. Oh, beauty is a beguiling call to death and I'm addicted to the sweet pitch of its siren. That that starts sweet ends bitter, and that which starts bitter ends sweet. That is why you and I love the drugs and that is also why I cannot give that painting back. Now please, pass me a light.
Pete
Oh you are something special, Mr Johnny Quid.
The Impact of Art on Perception
Pete
Go on, John. Jog it on.
Johnny Quid
I can't, Pete. The painting's got me. That's what art does to you, it gets you.
[staring at the painting, sighs]
Pete
You'd get a good few notes for that.
Johnny Quid
You wouldn't understand.
Pete
Why not?
Johnny Quid
Because you are street scum, Pete. You're in need of a good education, that's what you need. But your dad didn't give a shit about you, did he? And that's why you're on the gear; the gear is your surrogate father.
Pete
What's this, shrink-time?
Johnny Quid
Come on, Pedro! I'm your sponsor...doctor...I'll be your dad if you feel a bit of regression coming on. But first we need a drink in our hands.
