Quotes:
[first lines]
"After I killed him, I dropped the gun in the Thames, washed the residue off me hands in the bathroom of a Burger King, and walked home to await instructions. Shortly thereafter the instructions came through - "Get the fuck out of London, you dumb fucks. Get to Bruges." I didn't even know where Bruges fucking was.
[pause] It's in Belgium."
----------------------------------------
Ray: "What are they doing over there? They're filming something. They're filming midgets!"
Ken: "Ray... [Ray runs off and watches Jimmy the midget] Ray, come on. Let's go."
Ray: "Fuck off, Ken. They're filming midgets." |
"There's a Christmas tree somewhere in London with a bunch of presents underneath it that'll never be opened. And I thought, if I survive all of this, I'd go to that house, apologize to the mother there, and accept whatever punishment she chose for me. Prison... death... didn't matter. Because at least in prison and at least in death, you know, I wouldn't be in fuckin' Bruges. But then, like a flash, it came to me. And I realized, fuck man, maybe that's what hell is: the entire rest of eternity spent in fuckin' Bruges. And I really really hoped I wouldn't die. I really really hoped I wouldn't die." [last lines]

"One gay beer for my gay friend, one normal beer for me because I am normal."
----------------------------------------
Ken: "Coming up?"
Ray: "What's up there?"
Ken: "The view."
Ray: "The view of what? The view of down here? I can see that down here."
Ken: "Ray, you are about the worst tourist in the whole world."
Ray: "Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I had grown up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me. But I didn't, so it doesn't."
----------------------------------------
Eirik: "I can't see! I can't see!"
Ray: "Of course you can't fuckin' see! I just a shot a blank in your fuckin' eyes!"
----------------------------------------
Ray: "What are they doing over there? They're filming something. They're filming midgets!"
Ken: "Ray... [Ray runs off and watches Jimmy the midget] Ray, come on. Let's go."
Ray: "Fuck off, Ken. They're filming midgets."
----------------------------------------
[beating a tourist that he thinks is American] "That's for John Lennon, you Yankee fuckin' c**t!"
----------------------------------------
Ray: "Back off, shorty!"
Jimmy: "You don't know karate!" [Ray karate chops Jimmy's neck]
----------------------------------------
Ray: "Jesus, Ken, I'm trying to talk about..."
Ken: "I know what you're trying to talk about."
Ray: "I killed a little boy. You keep bringing up the fucking lollipop man."
Ken: "You didn't mean to kill a little boy."
Ray: "I know I didn't mean to... but because of the choices I made, and the course that I put into action, that little boy isn't here anymore, and he'll never be here again. [pauses] I mean here in the world, not here in Belgium. Well he'll never be here in Belgium either, will he? I mean, he might've wanted to come here when he got older. Don't know why. And that's all because of me. He's dead because of me. And I'm trying to... been trying to get me head around it, but I can't. I will have always have killed that little boy. That ain't ever going away. Ever. Unless... maybe I go away."
Ken: "Don't even think like that."
----------------------------------------
Ray: "A lot of midgets tend to kill themselves. The disproportionate, I meant. Herv Villechaize offed on Fantasy Island. I think somebody offed on Time Bandits. I suppose they must get really sad about like being really little and that people looking at them, laughing at them, calling them names. You know, short arse. There's another famous midget. I miss him but I can't remember. It's not the R2D2 man; no, he's still going. I hope your midget doesn't kill himself. Your dream sequence will be fucked."
Chloë: "He doesn't like being called a midget. He prefers dwarf."
Ray: "This is exactly my point! People going around calling you a midget when you want to be called a dwarf. Of course you're going to blow your head off."
----------------------------------------
Ray: "I'm not being funny. We can't stay here."
Ken: "We have to stay here until he rings."
Ray: "Well what if he doesn't ring for two weeks?"
Ken: "Then we stay here for two weeks."
Ray: "For two weeks? In fucking Bruges? In a room like this? With you? No way."
----------------------------------------
Ray: "Why didn't you wave hello to me today when I waved hello to you today?"
Jimmy: "I was on a very strong horse tranquilizer today; Wasn't waving hello to anybody. Except... maybe to a horse."
Ray: "Huh? What are you talking about?"
Jimmy: "Just horseshit."
Ray: "You from America?"
Jimmy: "Yeah. Don't hold it against me."
Ray: "Well, that's for me to decide, isn't it? [to Denise] You from America too?"
Denise: "No, I'm from Amsterdam."
Ray: "Amsterdam! Amsterdam's just a lot of bloody prostitutes, isn't it?"
Denise: "Yes, that's why I came to Bruges. Been trying to get a better price for my pussy here."
Ray: "Huh? [pauses] You two are weird. Would you like some cocaine?"
----------------------------------------
Chloë: "There's never been a classic movie made in Bruges until now."
Ray: "Of course there hasn't. It's a shithole."
Chloë: "Bruges is my home town, Ray."
Ray: "Well, it's still a shithole."
Chloë: "It's not a shithole!"
Ray: "What? Even midgets have to take drugs to stick it."
Chloë: "Okay. So, you've insulted my home town. You are doing really well, Raymond. Why don't you tell me some Belgian jokes while you're at it?"
Ray: "Don't know any Belgian jokes, and if I did I think I'd have the good sense not to... hang on. Is Belgium with all those child abuse murders lately? I do know a Belgium joke. What's Belgium famous for? Chocolates and child abuse, and they only invented the chocolates to get to the kids. [Ray sees Chloe's shocked expression] What?"
Chloë: "One of the girls they murdered was a friend of mine."
Ray: [after a long pause, feeling bad] "I'm sorry, Chloe."
Chloë: "One of the girls they murdered wasn't a friend of mine. I just wanted to make you feel bad. And it worked! Quite well."
----------------------------------------
Ken: [Ray walks into the bar high on cocaine] "How'd your date go?"
Ray: "My date involved two instances of extreme violence, one instance of her hand on my cock and my finger up her thing which lasted all too briefly - and then I was away - , one instance of me stealing five grams of very high-quality cocaine and one instance of me blinding a poofy little skinhead: so all in all... my evening pretty much balanced out, fine."
----------------------------------------
Ray: "Harry, I've got an idea."
Harry: "What?"
Ray: "My room faces onto the canal, right? I'm going to go back to me room, jump into the canal, see if I can swim to the other side and escape."
Harry: "All right."
Ray: "If you go outside around the corner, you can shoot at me from there and try and get me. That way we'll leave this lady and her baby out of the whole entire thing."
Harry: "You completely promise to jump into the canal? I don't want to run out there, come back in ten minutes, and find you fucking hiding in a cupboard."
Ray: "I completely promise, Harry. I'm not going to risk having another little kid dying on me."
Harry: "So, hang on - I go outside and I go which way? Right or left?"
Ray: [upset] "You go right, don't you? You can see it from the doorway! It's a big fucking canal!"
Harry: "All right. Jesus. I only just got here, haven't I? Okay, on the count of one, two, three, go. Okay?"
Ray: "Okay. [long pause] What? Who says it?"
Harry: "Well you say it."
Marie: "You guys are crazy!"
Ray: "Are you ready?"
Harry: "Ready."
Ray: "Set?"
Harry: "Set."
Ray: "One, two, three, Go!"
----------------------------------------
[After reading Harry's letter] "Geez, he swears a lot doesn't he?"
----------------------------------------
Ken: "We're staying in tonight. Whatever happens."
Ray: "Hmmmmmmmm....except [pauses] Hmmmm."
Ken: "Hmm, except hmm what?"
Ray: "Except, only one of us needs to stay in, really."
Ken: "uh huh, aannnd which one of us would that be now eh? I thought you didn't like Bruges."
Ray: "I don't like Bruges it's a shithole but, I did already say I had a date, with a Belgian lady, in the Belgian film business, which I did already say about before."
Ken: [After a pause] "Just don't get into any fucking trouble, we're keeping a low profile, and, this morning, and, this afternoon, we are doing what I want to do. Got it?"
Ray: "Course. Which I presume will involve culture."
Ken: "Oh we shall strike a balance between culture and fun." [cheesy smile]
Ray: "Somehow I believe Ken that the balance shall tip in the favour of culture. Like a big fat, fucking retarded , fucking black girl on a see-saw opposite [pauses] a dwarf."
----------------------------------------
Ken: "Ray. Did we, or did we not agree that if I let you go on your date tonight, we do the things that I wanted to do today?"
Ray: "We are doing the things that you wanted to do today."
Ken: "And I would do them without you throwing a fucking moody like some 5 year old who's dropped all his sweets."
Ray: "I didn't agree to that."
----------------------------------------
Overweight man: "Been to the top of the tower?"
Ray: "Yeah... yeah, it's rubbish."
Overweight man: "It is? The guide book says it's a must see."
Ray: "Well you lot ain't going up there."
Overweight man: "Pardon me? Why?"
Ray: "I mean, it's all windy stairs. I'm not being funny."
Overweight man: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Ray: "What exactly am I trying to say? You's are a bunch of fuckin' elephants.
[overweight man attempts to chase Ray around but quickly grows tired] Come on, leave it fatty!"
----------------------------------------
"I don't hit women. I would never hit a woman, Chloe. I'd hit a woman who was trying to hit me with a bottle. That's different. That's self-defense, isn't it? Or a woman who could do karate. I would never hit a woman generally, Chloe."
----------------------------------------
Ken: "What the fuck are you doing, Ray?"
Ray: "What the fuck are 'you' doing?"
[Ken sticks pistol behind his back]
Ken: "Nothing."
Ray: "Oh, my God... you were gonna kill me."
Ken: "No, I wa - You were gonna kill yourself!"
Ray: "Well... I'm allowed."
Ken: "No, you're not!"
Ray: "What? I'm not allowed, and you are? How's that fair?" |

Character name: Captain John Smith |
Quotes:
"Who are you whom I so faintly hear? Who urge me ever on? What voice is this that speaks within me... guides me towards the best? We shall make a new start. A fresh beginning. Here the blessings of the earth are bestowed upon all. None need grow poor. Here there is good ground for all, and no cost but one's labor. We shall build a true common wealth, hard work and self reliance our virtues. We shall have no landlords to reack us with high rents or extort the fruit of our labor."
----------------------------------------
"They are gentle, loving, faithful, lacking in all guile and trickery. The words denoting lying, deceit, greed, envy, slander, and forgiveness have never been heard. They have no jealousy, no sense of possesion. Real, what I thought a dream."
---------------------------------------- |
"Love... shall we deny it when it visits us... shall we not take what we are given."
----------------------------------------
Pocahontas: "Did you find your Indies, John? You shall."
John: [after a long reflective pause] "I may have sailed past them."
----------------------------------------
"I thought it was dream... what we knew in the forest. It's the only truth."
----------------------------------------
"He who does not work, shall not eat!"
----------------------------------------
"If only I could go down that river. To love her in the wild, forget the name of Smith. I should tell her. Tell her what? It was just a dream. I am now awake."
----------------------------------------
[to Pocahantas] "Don't trust me. You don't know who I am!"
----------------------------------------
"How many lands behind me? How many seas?"
----------------------------------------
John: "We don't take hostages. King James would not approve."
Captain Argall: "You'd rather see us annihilated?"
John: "She's done enough for us. She risked a beating out of her own brains to save mine. Had she not fed us, you would have starved. She's been the instrument to preserve this colony from disaster. We shall not return her kindness by making her a captive! Come Argall, threaten me! Then I'd know I was gonna live for 1,000 years."
Captain Argall: "She and her lot are on the berge of killing us all. I expect there will be scarce a handfull alive when the boats return if they ever do. You told us yourself that her father regards her as no one else. Or, do you have private reasons for this attitude of yours?"
John: "Return to your post. The penalty for disobeying an order of the president is hanging. You're breaking the laws. This is mutiny."
----------------------------------------
"At the moment I was to die she threw herself upon me."
----------------------------------------
"There's something I know when I'm with you that I forget when I'm away."
----------------------------------------
"All the children of the king were beautiful, but she, the youngest, was so exceedingly so that the sun himself - though he saw her often - was surprised whenever she came out into his presence. Her father had a dozen wives, a hundred children, but she was his favorite. She exceeded the rest not only in feature and proportion but in wit and spirit too. All loved her." |

"I'm just a true Irish boy at heart."
Quote: "He is a real guy. He’s a real man - and I think we don’t have a lot of ‘men’ today. (Laughing) But you know it’s true. He really does break a mold and I think that’s so important. He is his own man. He’s also really wild and uninhibited and free and bold - but he’s not out to get anybody. That’s why all the men were happy to follow him into battle and were rooting for him, because he is a good guy.”
Quote: “Colin’s brilliant. I didn’t know he was Irish. I had seen him in Tigerland and he did that with a New York accent. When I eventually talked to him on the phone and we started talking about the script, I said “Well, could you put Colin on, please?” And he goes, “This is Colin.” He’s got a really heavy Irish accent and you wouldn’t know it. I think he had the hardest job in this film, because he’s not like Hart. He’s a sweet kid, but he’s also a tough guy, too, and this role calls for a different set of muscles than just being a tough guy. There’s a lot of restraint in his performance, and I think he did a great job with it, a really great job."
Quote: “I adored Colin from the moment I met him. I’d read a lot about him over the years and, because I used to be a big drinker, I recognised some of the things he’d said in myself. Because we were both in LA, I got in touch and asked him to our house there one Sunday. We were having lunch with the kids when he arrived in this great big Bronco truck, but he got out in his pyjamas. He was so lovely with my girls, he’s such a sweet soul. Colin is a very quiet character now. He focuses on the work and has incredible commitment. He’d never falter on his lines while I was fluffing away.”
Quote: “He’s so close to his mum, sisters, parents - he is like a little boy. I think that’s what the girls like about him. How he treats his family.”
Quote: "I've been trying to get him in bed with me since the first day I saw him."
Quote: “One thing about Colin, he’s a friend. He’s got a great heart. You can tell immediately that he’s a good guy. And, as hard as he might party in some people’s minds, I didn’t see any of that. In the tabloids, your persona gets elevated or snowballs. But he elevated the movie for me and, I know for a lot of the cast because he raised the bar. He worked so fucking hard. He just gives a thousand percent.”
Quote: “I wouldn’t have thought this from the things I was reading about him before I met him. I knew more about his drinking and personal life than I knew about his talent and his acting. The level that he brought it to in this scene and the complexity that he was able to bring to such a dynamic character and make him so human. He was able to weep, and still be someone that you believed was Alexander. I was really glad to meet someone who is a phenomenal person beyond the rumors. It opened my eyes up to Hollywood and how everything can be diluted from someone into a pebble. And new I just refuse to let anyone make petty little comments about him.”
Quote: "He's the best actor of his generation."
