I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me
Voici quelques extraits du scénario d'un autre film que j'apprecie beaucoup. A quoi ça tient, la vie ? A la limite du mysticisme et la métaphysique.
L'impossibilité de se soustraire à son destin.
Frank Costello: I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me. Years ago we had the church. That was only a way of saying - we had each other. The Knights of Columbus were real head-breakers; true guineas. They took over their piece of the city. Twenty years after an Irishman couldn't get a fucking job, we had the presidency. May rest in peace. That's what the niggers don't realize. If I got one thing against the black chappies, it's this - no one gives it to you. You have to take it.
Frank Costello: When you decide to be something, you can be it. That's what they don't tell you in the church. When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?
Frank Costello:
Church wants you on your place. Kneel, stand, kneel, stand. If you go
for that sort of thing, I don't know what to do for you. A man makes
his own way. No one gives it to you. You have to take it. "Non
serviam."
Young Colin:James Joyce.
Frank Costello:
Have a seat, Bill.
[Costigan sits down at Costello's dinner table]
Frank Costello:
[while eating crab] Do you know John Lennon?
Billy Costigan:
Yeah, sure, he was the president before Lincoln.
Frank Costello:
Lennon said, "I'm an artist. You give me a fucking tuba, I'll get you something out of it."
....
Frank Costello:
The point I'm making with John Lennon is - a man could look at
anything, and make something out of it. For instance, I look at you and
I think "what could I use you for?"
Madolyn:
What do you expect coming in here?
Billy Costigan:
I have to come here.
Madolyn:
I know you have to come here, but now that you're here, what do you want?
Billy Costigan:
You want the truth? Valium.
Madolyn:
You know if you lied, you would have an easier time getting what you wanted.
Billy Costigan:
What does that say about what you do for a living?
Madolyn:
I just think we should have a few more meetings before we even talk about prescriptions.
Billy Costigan:
Look... look, I'm having panic attacks, alright? The other night I
thought I was having a fucking heart attack. I puked in a trash barrel
on the way over here. I haven't slept for fucking weeks.
Madolyn:
Is that true?
Billy Costigan:
Yeah, that's true. Alright? I said it was fucking true. I want some
fucking pills and you're gonna what? You're gonna close my file? Is
that what you're going to do?
Madolyn:
No, I didn't close your file. I...
Billy Costigan:
[angry] I thought I was supposed to tell the truth here, if only fucking here!
Madolyn:
You are! You are!
Billy Costigan:
Christ. I mean, a guy comes in here against every, every instinct of
privacy and self-reliance he has and what do you do? What do you do,
huh? You send him off on the street to score smack, is that what you
do? You're fucking ridiculous!
[Madolyn hands Costigan some Valium]
Billy Costigan:
[picking up the pills]
Two pills? Great. Why don't you just give me a bottle of scotch and a
handgun to blow my fucking head off! Are we done here with this
psychiatry bullshit?
Madolyn:
You know what? You can leave!
Billy Costigan:
What the fuck did I just put myself through? I'm fucking out of here.
And what if that was a legitimate threat? Think about it fucking
hotshot!
Madolyn: And I thought that I was the liar in this relationship!
[Upon learning the Police have found Delahunt's body and that he was a cop]
Fitzy:
I don't believe it.
Mr. French:
What can't you believe?
Fitzy:
I spent all fucking night dragging the poor bastard in there. Tell me
how they find him so fast? Somebody walking a fucking dog ? What
fucking size a dog is that? Has to be a big fucking dog, man. I spent
all night doing it man.
[pause, Frank stares at him]
Fitzy:
I'm embarrassed. I still don't believe he was a cop, I don't believe it.
Frank Costello:
The COPS... are saying he's a cop... so I won't look for the cop. Are
you soft, Fitz? When I tell you... to dump a body in the marsh, you
dump him *IN* the marsh. Not where some guy from John Hancock goes
every Thursday, TO GET A FUCKING BLOWJOB!
[Fitzy laughs, Frank hits him]
Frank Costello:
Don't laugh! This ain't Reality TV!
Frank Costello: One of us had to die. With me, it tends to be the other guy.
Mr. French: There's guys you can hit and guys you can't hit. Now he's not a guy you can't hit, but he's pretty close to a guy you can't hit.
Dignam: I'm the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy.
Ellerby:
[on Sullivan getting married]
Marriage is an important part of getting ahead. It lets people know
you're not a homo. A married guy seems more stable. People see the
ring, they think, "At least somebody can stand the son of a bitch."
Ladies see the ring, they know immediately that you must have some
cash, and your cock must work.
Colin Sullivan:
[laughs nervously] Yeah, it's workin'. Overtime!
Pakistani Proprietor: What's wrong with this fucking country? Everybody hates everybody!
