Movie Quotes

Celine: If word got around that I had been liberated for half a million dollars, I could never show my face in polite society again. Diamonds have no value except that which is placed upon them.

Celine: Despite your crummy poem, I came to see you and all you could do was humiliate me and turn me away. I thought you were decent, but it turns out you’re just a lying, cheating bastard like all the rest.

Celine: I’d like to make a withdrawal.
Robert: I thought we agreed there’d be no cliches.

Celine: “Kidnap For Beginners”, Chapter One. Have you even asked for a ransom yet?

Celine: “Kill me but don’t touch the girl.” You should be on television.

Celine: You’re in a lot of trouble, you know. My father’s gonna have you killed. You realize that? Tortured first, naturally. Then he’s gonna have you killed.

Celine: What’s wrong?
Robert: What’s wrong, you crazy bitch, is I thought you were gonna shoot me! THAT’S what’s wrong!
