Quotes 

  • Sue O'Malley : What are you majoring in?

    Joel : Russian literature and Slavic languages.

    Sue O'Malley : Oh wow, that's pretty interesting. What career track is that?

    Joel : Cabby, hot dog vendor, marijuana delivery guy. The world is my oyster.

  • Joel : We pay little Malaysian kids 10 cents a day to make these toys, we can't just *give* them away.

  • Joel : What's the point of being a writer or an artist anyway? Herman Melville wrote fuckin' Moby Dick, he was so poor and forgot by the time he died that in his obituary they called him Henry Melville. You know, like why bother? They're just going to forget our fuckin' names anyway. I heard Em went back to New York.

    James Brennan : I wish it didn't end like that, I should've - I don't know.

    [Beat] 

    James Brennan : Your Herman Melville story that - that's bullshit.

    Joel : It's true, they called him Henry.

    James Brennan : No, I mean, he wrote a seven-hundred page allegorical novel about the whaling industry. I think he was a pretty passionate guy, Joel. I hope they call me Henry when I die, too.

    Joel : One can only hope

  • James Brennan : [after being told that Lisa P. is back]  Who's Lisa P?

    Joel : [Points]  That's Lisa P.

    [They watch her walk and turn around] 

    Joel : Oh my God, look at the shape of her ass. It's a platonic ideal. That ass is a higher truth. Look, look at that little portal of light, just below her crotch, right where the thigh meets the pudendum.

    James Brennan : The pudendum? Are you pre-med?

    Joel : I'm telling you, man, I've had dreams about that diamond-shape portal.

    [Joel stands up] 

    Joel : Oh shit, she's coming over here, man. Be cool.

    James Brennan : Okay, I'll try to hold it together.

  • Sue O'Malley : [turning down a date from Joel]  He told my parents. We're Catholic. He told my parents that you're Jewish.

    Joel : Oh, but I'm an atheist, maybe more of a pragmatic nihilist I guess or an existential pagan if you will...

    Sue O'Malley : Yeah, yeah um, but my parents are really strict. Sorry.

  • Tommy Frigo : They got you working on Games? What a pussy. You're such a pussy!

    Joel : Do you know that demented person?

    James Brennan : Yeah, he used to be my best friend. And then I turned four.

  • James Brennan : [Falco's Rock Me Amadeus song is played once again at the amusement park]  Jesus Fucking Christ! They play this song like 20 times a day!

    Joel : Fucking sadists. Fucking sadists!

  • James Brennan : I am amazed at how tiny my paycheck is. I've been working doubles.

    Joel : Well, we are doing the work of pathetic, lazy morons.

  • Joel : [Giving James, who's just been hired, a tour of the games]  Okay, new guy, let's get this over with. Here we are at the first of many shitty games. This one is inexplicably called The *Flighing* Dutchman. Even more inexplicable is how they decided to spell it.

  • Joel : [after getting hit in the head with a corn-dog]  That was a whole corndog!

  • Joel : [playing arcade game]  Two options: I can play it safe, pick them off from back here, or I can rush into the breach guns a blazing, make a run to the cortex and... bombs away!

    [sound of beating a level] 

    Joel : "Audentes Fortunas Juvat", Fortune Favors the Bold. Virgil said that.

    Em Lewin : I'm sure Virgil had Bionic Mutant in mind.

  • Park customer : [throws ball at dummy's hat, nothing happens]  I hit that thing dead on!

    Joel : Yet he still retains his chapeau.

  • James Brennan : Hey, is it because of Sue?

    Joel : What?

    James Brennan : Why you quit. Because, Joel, you're a great guy, you know, and she doesn't deserve you.

    Joel : James, look at me. I'm not a good looking guy. And I'm poor. Girls aren't gonna go near me when there's all these fucking yuppies around.

    James Brennan : That's ridiculous. Not all women are like that. You know, Em isn't like that.

    Joel : Em?

    James Brennan : Yeah.

    Joel : You don't even appreciate what you have. You're chasing after Lisa P. when you have this incredible, beautiful girl right fucking there. Fuck this.

  • Joel : [looking at fish bowls]  A little more than 40% of these fish are dead.

  • Sue O'Malley : [drunk, helped to her feet by Joel]  You're so strong-ish.

    Joel : I'll take that.

  • Joel : So your life must be utter shit, or you wouldn't be here.

    James Brennan : I was supposed to go to Europe, but my family has money problems.
