American Psycho

Patrick Bateman: There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis; my punishment continues to elude me, and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.

Happy-Go-Lucky (2008), Sally Hawkins as Poppy, Eddie Marsan as Scott the driving instructor.

Spoiler warning!

This is the final confrontation scene and if you haven't seen this film you should skip this comment entry and go rent it right now. Also watch the DVD extras with interviews with director/screenwriter Mike Leigh and the actors on how they together created these great characters. It's a masterclass in creating believable, deep characters.


POPPY: I'm calling the police! Do you want me to call the police? Do you? Right. So let's just calm down, shall we? Okay? We're disturbing the peace here.

SCOTT: I just want to get in my car and drive away.

POPPY: Sorry Scott, that's not gonna happen.

SCOTT: Jesus Christ, Poppy! You're doing it again. You never give up, do you? You never give in for fuck's sake, you fucking bitch!

POPPY: You need help.

SCOTT: Don't patronize me!

POPPY: I'm not patronizing you.

SCOTT: Yes, you are patronizing me! You're always patronizing me. This is what you always wanted, this is what you set out to achieve. This is the game you play. You prodded me. You poked me. You stroked me. You teased me. You flirted with me. You sucked me in. You wore your high-heel boots, your short skirt, your low-cut top and you flashed your tits. You tossed your hair. You played with the gear stick. You lied to me! This is all about you. The world has to revolve around you. I'm a driving instructor. I just wanted to do my job. You had no intention of learning how to drive. You got in that car with one thing in mind. To reel me in. And why? Because you have to be adored. You've got to be wanted. And then you drink it in. And you leave me with a spring in your step and you go off and you fuck your boyfriend and you fuck your girlfriend. And you all drive around in that stupid, little yellow car!

The first movie to come to mind is def. River's Edge 1986 Directed by Tim Hunter, Writer Neal Jimenez,Starring:
Crispin Glover, Keanu Reeves and Ione Skye .

There are a few psychotic characters in this great movie but Dennis Hopper as Feck is my favorite.

I couldn't find the video of my favorite scene which is the hospital scene where he says: "I don't feel so good. I just lost a good friend today."

but I did find another good scene:
on Youtube


best line: "you're my friend"
to the gun that didn't fire playing Russian roulette.

From "Natural Born Killers"
Mickey: You'll never understand, Wayne. You and me, we're not even the same species. I used to be you, then I evolved. From where you're standing, you're a man. From where I'm standing, you're an ape. You're not even an ape. You're a media person. Media's like the weather, only it's man-made weather. Murder? It's pure. You're the one made it impure. You're buying and selling fear. You say "why?" I say "why bother?"

From "Misery"
Annie Wilkes: When I was growing up in Bakersfield, my favourite thing in the whole world was to go to the movies on Saturday afternoons for the Chapter Plays.
Paul Sheldon: [nodding] Cliffhangers.
Annie Wilkes: [shouting] I know that, Mr. Man! They also called them serials. I'm not stupid ya know... Anyway, my favourite was Rocketman, and once it was a no breaks chapter. The bad guy stuck him in a car on a mountain road and knocked him out and welded the door shut and tore out the brakes and started him to his death, and he woke up and tried to steer and tried to get out but the car went off a cliff before he could escape! And it crashed and burned and I was so upset and excited, and the next week, you better believe I was first in line. And they always start with the end of the last week. And there was Rocketman, trying to get out, and here comes the cliff, and just before the car went off the cliff, he jumped free! And all the kids cheered! But I didn't cheer. I stood right up and started shouting. This isn't what happened last week! Have you all got amnesia? They just cheated us! This isn't fair! HE DID'NT GET OUT OF THE COCK - A - DOODIE CAR!
Paul Sheldon: [long pause] They always cheated like that in cl... chapter plays.


I could not locate a clip for this quote at the moment.


As a long time reader, 3 years, I am honored to have my suggestion play out as the dialy dialogue this week. Thank you to all of you and to Scott of course. I am honored.
I will post some more suggestions as soon as I can. Lots of great ones on here already from the other posters.

A psycho I really enjoyed, made the movie for me, bad guy from No Escape, Stuart Wilson playing Walter Marek, lots of good lines, here is one:
Marek: I could use a man like you.
[gestures at the body]
We appear to have an opening...
Robbins: And what if I say no?
Marek: That would be very disappointing.

Great suggestions.

@Dan R: You've been reading GITS for 3 years? I'm glad the Daily Dialogue theme worked out this week. It is not only a good suggestion, you deserve the plaudits for your 'length of service' to the blog! Best of luck to you in all your writing efforts!
