Memorable quotes for
Heat (1995)

advertisement
Neil McCauley: He knew the risks, he didn't have to be there. It rains... you get wet.

Vincent Hanna: I don't know how to do anything else.
Neil McCauley: Neither do I.
Vincent Hanna: I don't much want to either.
Neil McCauley: Neither do I.

Neil McCauley: I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. I know life is short, whatever time you get is luck. You want to walk? You walk right now. Or on your own... on your own you choose to come with me. And all I know is... all I know is there's no point in me going anywhere anymore if it's going to be alone... without you.

Michael Cheritto: Well ya know, for me, the action is the juice.

Vincent Hanna: I say what I mean, and I do what I say.

Justine Hanna: I guess the earth shattered?
Vincent Hanna: So why didn't you let Bosko take you home?
Justine Hanna: I didn't wanna ruin their night too. So what was it?
Vincent Hanna: You don't want to know.
Justine Hanna: I'd like to know whats behind that grim look on your face.
Vincent Hanna: I don't do that. You know that. Let's go.
Justine Hanna: You never told me that I'd be excluded.
Vincent Hanna: I told you, when we hooked up, baby, that you were gonna have to share me with all the bad people and ugly events on this planet.
Justine Hanna: And I bought into that sharing because I love you. I love you bald, fat, money, no money, driving a bus - I don't care. But you have got to be present like a normal guy sometimes. That's sharing. This is not sharing, this is left overs.
Vincent Hanna: Oh, I see. So what I should do is, I should come home every day and say "Hi honey. Guess what? I walked into this apartment today, where this junkie asshole had just fried his baby in a microwave, because it was crying to loud! So let me share that with you. Come on, let's share that, and in sharing that we'll somehow cathartically dispel all that heinous shit". Right?

Neil McCauley: All right. Take off your shirt.
Doctor: My- my daughter gave this shirt to me as a present. I can't just...
Neil McCauley: I don't give a shit. Take off your shirt.

Neil McCauley: Chris. Listen to me. Nate's going to pick you up. He's going to take you over to his place.
Chris Shiherlis: Where's Charlene?
Neil McCauley: We gotta go. We're on the 6:00 news. We gotta get out of here.
Chris Shiherlis: I'm not going without her.
Neil McCauley: Think about that. I will meet you at Nate's.
Chris Shiherlis: Where are you going?
Neil McCauley: To find out if our out got spilled along with every other damn thing.
Chris Shiherlis: Who did it?
Neil McCauley: Who wasn't there?
Chris Shiherlis: Trejo
Neil McCauley: I'll see you at Nate's.

Hooker: Time to go, baby.
Waingro: Showed you a good time?
Hooker: Oh yeah. You fly. You cool.
Waingro: You're lying to me. I can always tell when people lie to me.
Hooker: I ain't lying. You're a hot dog. A regular rodeo rider. And this was the monster fu*k of my young life.

Donald Breedan: I haven't gotten my break yet.
Solenko, Restaurant Manager: Cisco and Pancho didn't show. I want you to mop up the back and take out the garbage. Take your break later.
Donald Breedan: [mutters under his breathe] Piece of shit.
Donald Breedan: Pick up!

Lauren Gustafson: Mom, my barrettes are not on the couch!
Justine Hanna: Wear the blue ones!
Lauren Gustafson: I don't want to wear the blue ones. They don't match!
Justine Hanna: Did you check the bathroom?
Lauren Gustafson: I checked everywhere.
Justine Hanna: [looking at newspaper] What do you want me to do?
Lauren Gustafson: Find them!
Lauren Gustafson: [after 1 second of waiting for a response] Mom! Pay attention!
Justine Hanna: All right, sweetie. All right!
Lauren Gustafson: Daddy's going to be here! I can't be late!
Justine Hanna: You won't be late.
Lauren Gustafson: *I will be late!*

Vincent Hanna: [to Albert] Don't waste my motherfucking time!

Lillian: I met the manager. Is that the boss?
Breedan: [snickers] I did time for what that motherfucker does every day.
Lillian: Can you just handle it until we find you something new? Can you do that?
Breedan: Ain't a hard time been invented that I cannot handle. Why're you hanging with me?
Lillian: Because I'm proud of you.
Breedan: You're proud of me? Why the hell are you proud of me?
Lillian: Come home.

[Robbing a bank]
Neil McCauley: We want to hurt no one. We're here for the bank's money, not your money. Your money is insured by the federal government, you're not gonna lose a dime. Think of your families, don't risk your life. Don't try and be a hero.

Richard Torena: I could get killed for telling you this shit.
Vincent Hanna: You could get killed walking your doggie!

Vincent Hanna: You know, we are sitting here, you and I, like a couple of regular fellas. You do what you do, and I do what I gotta do. And now that we've been face to face, if I'm there and I gotta put you away, I won't like it. But I tell you, if it's between you and some poor bastard whose wife you're gonna turn into a widow, brother, you are going down.
Neil McCauley: There is a flip side to that coin. What if you do got me boxed in and I gotta put you down? Cause no matter what, you will not get in my way. We've been face to face, yeah. But I will not hesitate. Not for a second.

Chris Shiherlis: When are you gonna get some furniture?
Neil McCauley: When I get around to it.

Chris Shiherlis: When are you gonna get a lady?
Neil McCauley: When I get around to it.

Sgt. Drucker: [to Albert] I've been pagin' you all day. I can't stand fuckin' pagin'.

[first lines]
Construction Clerk: Check, charge, or cash?

Eady: You travel a lot?
Neil McCauley: Yeah.
Eady: Traveling makes you lonely?
Neil McCauley: I'm alone, I am not lonely.

Vincent Hanna: It's like you said. All I am is what I'm going after.

Justine Hanna: You prefer the normal routine. We fuck and you lose the power of speech.

Vincent Hanna: So you never wanted a regular type life?
Neil McCauley: What the fuck is that? Barbeques and ballgames?

Vincent Hanna: My life's a disaster zone. I got a stepdaughter so fucked up because her real father's this large-type asshole. I got a wife, we're passing each other on the down-slope of a marriage - my third - because I spend all my time chasing guys like you around the block. That's my life.
Neil McCauley: A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner." Now, if you're on me and you gotta move when I move, how do you expect to keep a... a marriage?

Charlene Shiherlis: What else are you selling?
Sgt. Drucker: All kinds of shit. But I don't have to sell this and you know it, 'cause this kind of shit here sells itself.

Detective Casals: You recognize the MO?
Vincent Hanna: M.O.? Is that they're good... Once it escalated into a murder one beef for all of 'em after they killed the first two guards, they didn't hesitate. Pop guard number three because... what difference does it make? Why leave a living witness? Drop of a hat these guys will rock and roll...

Breedan: Ain't a hard time been invented that I cannot handle.

Chris Shiherlis: For me the sun rises and sets with her, man.

Justine Hanna: You don't live with me, you live among the remains of dead people. You sift through the detritus, you read the terrain, you search for signs of passing, for the scent of your prey, and then you hunt them down. That's the only thing you're committed to. The rest is the mess you leave as you pass through.

Neil McCauley: L.A.P.D. Gee, what, where the fuck did this heat come from?
Chris Shiherlis: Maybe it's the score they were onto, the place, not us. 'Cause it's been hit a couple of times, you know, or something?
Neil McCauley: Assume they got our phones, assume they got our houses, assume they got us, right here, right now as we sit, everything. Assume it all.

Chris Shiherlis: The bank is worth the risk. I need it, brother. We should stay and take it down.

[from a deleted scene:]
Neil McCauley: And I am double the worst trouble you ever had.

Vincent Hanna: I'm angry. I'm very angry, Ralph. You know, you can ball my wife if she wants you to. You can lounge around here on her sofa, in her ex-husband's dead-tech, post-modernistic bullshit house if you want to. But you do not get to watch my fucking television set!

Charlene Shiherlis: It's like risk versus reward, baby.

Alan Marciano: Why'd I get mixed up with that bitch?
Vincent Hanna: Cause she's got a great ass... and you got your head all the way up it! Ferocious, aren't I? When I think of asses, a woman's ass, something comes out of me.

Vincent Hanna: I gotta hold on to my angst. I preserve it because I need it. It keeps me sharp, on the edge, where I gotta be.

[Over the phone]
Van Zant: What are you doing?
Neil McCauley: What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone.
Van Zant: I don't understand.
Neil McCauley: 'Cause there is a dead man on the other end of this fuckin' line

Justine Hanna: I may be stoned on grass and Prozac, but you've been walking through our life dead.

Neil McCauley: I do what I do best, I take scores. You do what you do best, try to stop guys like me.

Justine Hanna: But you have to be present like a normal guy some of the time. That's sharing. This is not sharing, this is leftovers.
Vincent Hanna: All right, so what I should do is, uhm, come home and say "Hi Honey, guess what? I walked into this house today where this junkie asshole just fried his baby in a microwave because it was crying too loud, so let me share that with you."

Michael Cheritto: What do you want to be when you grow up, honey?
Linda Cherrito: I don't know.
Michael Cheritto: She doesn't know. Just like me, I don't know either.

Vincent Hanna: Who? Who? What are you, a fucking owl?

Justine Hanna: In a way, you're a party to this.
Vincent Hanna: Oh yeah, I made Ralph fuck you because it makes me feel good.

Albert Torena: Where's your empathy, brother? It's a substance abuse problem.
Vincent Hanna: Empathy was yesterday. Today, you're wasting my motherfucking time.

Vincent Hanna: When these guys walk out the door of whatever score they're gonna take next, they're gonna have the surprise of a lifetime.

Richard Torena: This guy I was locked up with in Folsom: did a couple, two-three years. He got out, and I ran into him.
Vincent Hanna: [pauses, waiting for Richard to continue] And so?
Richard Torena: He's a big fiend for action. Now if he'd said nothin', I'd have thought nothin'. But he goes on and on to me about how he's been doing nothin' and nothin' here's been going on and all this other bullshit, so right then and there I know: this cat's got somethin' goin' down.
Vincent Hanna: [long pause] Pretty fuckin' great.
[to Albert]
Vincent Hanna: Albert, what's wrong with you? You drag me here, waste my time like this.
[to Richard]
Vincent Hanna: You saw a guy, on the street, who's an ex-con?
Richard Torena: That's right.
Vincent Hanna: Well I am... over-fuckin' whelmed. What d'you want for that, a junior g-man badge?

Waingro: Want some pie?

Vincent Hanna: Are you Alan Marciano?
Alan Marciano: Yea. And who the fuck are you?

Bosko: I figure this guy went for that hold out piece, ankle holster right from here. Bang, bang, bang-bang-bang.

Vincent Hanna: Seven years in Folsom. In the hole for three. McNeil before that. McNeil as tough as they say?
Neil McCauley: You lookin' to become a penologist?
Vincent Hanna: You lookin' to go back? You know, I chased down some crews; guys just lookin' to fuck up, get busted back. That you?
Neil McCauley: You must've worked some dipshit crews.
Vincent Hanna: I worked all kinds.
Neil McCauley: You see me doin' thrill-seeker liquor store holdups with a "Born to Lose" tattoo on my chest?
Vincent Hanna: No, I do not.
Neil McCauley: Right. I am never goin' back.
Vincent Hanna: Then don't take down scores.

[last lines]
Neil McCauley: Told you I'm never going back.
Vincent Hanna: Yeah.

Vincent Hanna: I got an idea what they're looking at.
Vincent Hanna: You know what they're looking at?
Vincent Hanna: I mean - is this guy something, or is he something?
Vincent Hanna: This crew is good!
Vincent Hanna: You wanna know what they're looking at?
Dr. Bob: What?
Vincent Hanna: Us.
Vincent Hanna: The L-A-P-D.
Vincent Hanna: Po-lice Department.
Vincent Hanna: We just got made...

Van Zant: Who are you?
Waingro: Waingro. My name's Waingro.
Van Zant: I've been living in the office day and night, how well do you know him?
Waingro: Oh, we took some major scores together.
Van Zant: [nods slowly] How come I haven't heard from him?
Waingro: Well, he's probably busy right now. But he's real thorough. He ain't gon' forget about you.
Van Zant: Oh that's reassuring.
Waingro: [chuckles]

Neil McCauley: Where's the key?
Bank Guy: What key?
Neil McCauley: [socks bank guy in the lip so hard he tumbles backwards]
Neil McCauley: [extracts the necessary key]
Bank Guy: [struggling in pain]
Neil McCauley: Don't move! And don't touch it! Let it bleed.

Neil McCauley: [has gun on a severely injured Waingro]
Neil McCauley: Look at me. *Look at me!*
Waingro: [doesn't want to and whimpers]
Neil McCauley: Look at me!
Waingro: [slowly pathetically looks upward]
Neil McCauley: [fires two shots into Waingro's chest]
Waingro: [makes some wild horrible gasping sound]
Neil McCauley: [aims upward and fires a third shot, this one into Waingro's head]

Waingro: [hits security guard] Get back! Get back!
Michael Cheritto: Hey, Slick, you see that shit coming outta their ears? They can't fucking hear you. Now cool it!
Waingro: [to security guard] You had to fuck with me. You wanna fuck with me?
[shoots the security guard in the head]

Vincent Hanna: Why don't you try leading... a normal life?
Neil McCauley: What the fuck's that? Barbecues and ball games?
Vincent Hanna: Yeah...

Chris Shiherlis: Don't mouth off to me!
Charlene Shiherlis: I want out of here!
Chris Shiherlis: Oh yeah? Well, there's the fucking door!

Richard Torena: I'm a good citizen!
Vincent Hanna: Yeah! And I'm Donald Duck...

Vincent Hanna: You know what? Neil is gone. Bam! Flying like a bird.
Detective Casals: Vincent, how do you? We still got bait. Maybe some time.
Vincent Hanna: Got. Got. What do we got? *What do we got?* Bon voyage, motherfucker. You were good. I'm going to the hotel. I'm going to take a shower. I'm going to sleep, for a month.

Neil McCauley: Our problem is take the bank or split right now, do not go home, do not pack, nothing. 30 secs flat from now we are gone on our separate ways, that's it...

Vincent Hanna: That's exactly what they're gonna do, they're gonna walk. This is my operation, I have tactical command that supercedes your rank, they will walk away and you will let them...

Nate: What happened out there?
Neil McCauley: Don't ask...

Uniformed Officer: You taking this one? Or does it stay in Division?
Vincent Hanna: Does this look like gangbangers working the local 7-11 to you? Robbery-Homicide's taking it.
