Born to Kill

Delivery Boy: My, that coffee smells good. Ain't it funny how coffee never tastes as good as it smells?
Albert Arnett: As you grow older, you'll discover that life is very much like coffee: the aroma is always better than the actuality. May that be your thought for the day.

Albert Arnett: It's quite all right, Mrs. Brent. I am a man of integrity, but I'm always willing to listen to an interesting offer.
Helen Brent: Well, I'm prepared to pay handsomely.
Albert Arnett: Good. Obstructing the wheels of justice is a costly affair.
Helen Brent: Five thousand dollars should do it.
Albert Arnett: Fifteen thousand dollars should do it.

Helen Brent: I must warn you, though, liquor makes me nosy. I've been known to ask all sorts of personal questions after four cocktails.
Marty Waterman: s'all right. I've been known to tell people to mind their own business. Cold sober, too.

Mrs. Kraft: Stay for supper, huh, Laury?
Laury Palmer: Aw, can't. I got a date.
Mrs. Kraft: Who with?
Laury Palmer: Danny Jaden.
Mrs. Kraft: That young squirt? Thought you had a new one.
Laury Palmer: I have. Wait till you see him.
Mrs. Kraft: Tell me about him, Laury. What's he like?
Laury Palmer: Well, this big across the shoulders. He moved my trunk around the other day like it was a cracker box. He's the quiet sort. And yet you get the feeling if you stepped out of line he'd kick your teeth down your throat.
Mrs. Kraft: Why, ain't that wonderful?
Laury Palmer: Sure is.

Helen Brent: If you go to the police, you'll see Laury sooner than you think.
Mrs. Kraft: Are you trying to scare me?
Helen Brent: I'm just warning you. Perhaps you don't realize, it's painful being killed. A piece of metal sliding into your body, finding its way into your heart. Or a bullet tearing through your skin, crashing into a bone. It takes a while to die, too. Sometimes a long while.

Albert Arnett: In that case, I shall have to forge ahead with my inquiry. And may I remind you that Nevada courts have rather puritanical views. Why some of our more impassioned juries even insist that a man who commits murder pay with his life.

Mrs. Kraft: You're the coldest iceberg of a woman I ever saw, and the rottenest inside. I've seen plenty, too. I wouldn't trade places with you if they sliced me into little pieces.

Albert Arnett: You remember the verse from the Bible, Mrs. Brent? "I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and he who falls beneath their spell has need of God's mercy."

Sam Wilde: Oh, I see. You cross the tracks on May Day with a basket of goodies for the poor slum kid, but back you scoot - and fast - to your own neck o' the woods. Don't you?
Helen Brent: I wouldn't say that.
Sam Wilde: No, you wouldn't *say* it... but that's the way it is.

Marty Waterman: You can't just go around killin' people whenever the notion strikes you. It's not feasible.

Marty Waterman: And, Sam, in the mean time, no dames. Understand?
Sam Wilde: I've got a dame on my mind, and she's dead. And that's plenty for me.

Mrs. Kraft: How come you got a hold of this information?
Marty Waterman: Through underworld connections, like it says in the newspapers. I'm a bad boy.

Marty Waterman: And remember, glamour girl, I'll do this on just one condition.
Mrs. Kraft: What's that?
Marty Waterman: That you don't make any passes at me when you get me out there. I'm a very shy kid.

Marty Waterman: I've been scared somethin' like this would happen. The way you go off your head. And it's been worse, lately. Ever since that nervous crackup last summer. Honest, Sam, you go nuts about nothin'. Nothin' at all. You gotta' watch that. You can't just go around killin' people whenever the notion strikes you. It's not feasible.
Sam Wilde: [angrily] Why isn't it!
Marty Waterman: All right, Sam. All right. It is.

Laury Palmer: Oh, why not? If you're glad about the divorce, you ought to celebrate. And if you're sad and wanna forget about it, you ought to celebrate. So either way, you ought to celebrate.

Mrs. Kraft: You know, you ought to put on some meat, Laury. You're so skinny, can't grab hold of you anywhere.
Laury Palmer: I haven't noticed anybody having any trouble.

Georgia Wilde: Well, I'll tell you this much. You won't get another nickel as long as I live. And when I die, you still won't. I'll see to that first thing in the morning.

Helen Brent: You little fool, you're crazy!
Georgia Wilde: If I am at least I'm crazy in love for a man. All you're crazy about is money and yourself!
Helen Brent: Mad about a man who doesn't give a tinker's damn for you!

Albert Arnett: Which will, believe me, be exceedingly painful to a man of my integrity.
Mrs. Kraft: It won't hurt half as much as me to lose my $500.

Marty Waterman: Don't get mad.
Helen Brent: I am getting mad. I resent people marching into something that doesn't concern them.
Marty Waterman: You think it doesn't. It concerns me all right, if it concerns Sam.

Divorce Lawyer: The bonds of matrimony can weigh heavily, I understand that - oh, nit in my case; the little lady and I have been happily married for 17 years!
Helen Brent: She's a very lucky lady!
Divorce Lawyer: I often tell her that.
Helen Brent: I'm sure you do.

Mrs. Perth: And speakin' of debts, you ain't paid your share of the phone for three months, Arnett.
Albert Arnett: Et tu, Brutus?
Mrs. Perth: I ain't talkin' about what you et. That's on the house. But I want eight dollars and fiddy-five cents for the phone.

Sam Wilde: [to Marty on the telephone] We'll not only be rolling in dough, but marrying into this crowd'll fix it so as I can... So as I can spit in anybody's eye.

Albert Arnett: Has it occurred to you? Neither of us looks like a scoundrel, do we?
