Entrapment Film Quotes

Sean Connery as Robert “Mac” MacDougal in Entrapment (1999)


Mac: It’s impossible. But doable.
Gin: You stole my suitcase?
Mac: I’m a thief. So sue me.
Gin: I said this is called entrapment.
Mac: No, actually it’s called blackmail. Entrapment is what cops do to thieves.
Mac: Rule number one: never carry a gun. If you carry a gun you may be tempted to use it. Rule number two: never trust a naked woman.
Mac: I have absolutely no reason to believe anything you say.
Gin: But you want to.
Gin: Look what you’ve done to that beautiful car!
Mac: Thank God it’s not mine.
Gin: Is all this paid for?
Mac: With blood.
Mac: In order for there to be complete trust between thieves, there can be nothing personal.
Mac: We’ll either both get caught or both get dead.
Gin: I’m not who you think I am, Mac.
Mac: I hope not. For your sake.
Mac: What’s the job?
Gin: Like the wise man said: first we try then we trust.
Mac: I’m never late. If I’m late it’s because I’m dead.
Mac: You know what they say about fear. The only remedy is to cut off the head.
Mac: You are the most beautiful crook I’ve ever seen.
Gin: Why, thank you kind sir.
Mac: I don’t like surprises.
Gin: Trust me, there won’t be any.
Mac: Trust me, there always are surprises.
Gin: I give you the world’s tallest building.
Mac: And we’re going to steal it?

Mac: Now time stands still – hopefully.
Mac: This is it? Whatever happened to money? I mean where is the good old-fashioned loot?
Mac: Believe me, I was prepared for everything – except you.
Mac: Give me the spanner!
Gin: The what?
Mac: The wrench!
Aaron Thibadeaux: Wanna tell me why my Jaguar looks like you drove it off a fuckin’ cliff?
Mac: Thibadeaux, I’m awfully sorry.
Aaron Thibadeaux: You own me 140 G’s.
Mac: How about a $40 million Chinese mask?


Mac: Has there ever been anyone you couldn’t manipulate, beguile or seduce?
Gin: No.
Gin: I stole the Rembrandt.
[pause]
Gin: Mac! I stole the Rembrandt.
Mac: …and I painted the Sistine Chapel.
Gin: Oh come on! Ask me how I did it.
Mac: So how’d you do it?
Gin: I came in from the roof. I dropped twenty floors down on a McNeel descender.
Mac: Well, you must be one hell of a climber.
Gin: I am a hell of a climber.
[begins to scale the side of the room]
Gin: I am, one, hell of a climber.
[a train passes and Gin appears on the opposite platform]
Mac: How did you do it?
Gin: I jumped trains mid-station. When the train slowed down I just… It was perfect.
Mac: Was it now?
Gin: [starts walking along the platform] You know what, Mac? I don’t want to hold the record alone.
Mac: No?
Gin: I need your help on another job.
Mac: Wow. The crown jewels or something?
Gin: [smiling] No! Come on! Too easy.
[last lines]
[a train passes and Mac disappears off the opposite platform]
Gin: [calls] Mac?
[playing]
Gin: Mac.
[louder]
Gin: Mac!
Mac: [appears behind Gin] What?
Gin: [turns around smiling] So what do you think?
Mac: About what?
Gin: About my idea?
Mac: [gives it quick thought] It’s doable.
[Gin grabs Mac and he embraces her; another train passes and they disappear off the platform, appearing on board the train]

Presidio Film Quotes

Sean Connery as Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell in The Presidio (1988)

Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: Now, are you sure you want to have a fight? Because I’m only gonna use my thumb.
Bully in Bar: Thumb?
Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: My right thumb. Left one’s much too powerful for you.

Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: You’re not going out dressed like that, are you?
Donna Caldwell: Like what?
Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: Well, you can see right through that dress. You might just as well go out without one.
Donna Caldwell: There’s a thought.

Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: Ah, shit on a stick.

Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: [to Julius] Now why don’t you ask him how he won the Medal of Honor?
Sgt. Major Ross Maclure: How old are you, Julius?
Julius: Eight.
Sgt. Major Ross Maclure: You want to live to be nine?
Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: Obviously he didn’t win it for charm.

Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: We used to joke that being in the army was not a matter of life and death. It’s more important than that.

[Lt.Col Caldwell has just beaten up the bully in the bar who had started a fight with him]
Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: You see these little oak leaves?
[points to the silver oak leaves on his lapels]
Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: They’re silver. That means I’m a lieutenant-colonel. If they were gold, THEN I’d be a major! Understand?
[hits the bully’s head on the bar]
Bully in Bar: [grunts & nods] Yes sir!
Lt. Col. Alan Caldwell: Now, next time you see an officer of the Army, you’ll know how to recognize his rank!
[Lt-Col. Caldwell walks out of the bar]

Medicine Man Film Quotes

Sean Connery as Dr. Robert Campbell in Medicine Man (1992)

 
 Dr. Robert Campbell: Jesus Christ, woman, must everything be a full-scale debate with you? Just do it!
Dr. Rae Crane: You must have thought you were really on to something.
Dr. Robert Campbell: I don’t think, I know.
Dr. Rae Crane: You send me back on the basis of my gender. That’s called sex disrimination. Look, I understand your reservations. I heard about your wife.
Dr. Robert Campbell: My wife? Good God, she left me. I wish you’d follow her example.
Dr. Robert Campbell: It’s only one fly in the serum. I can’t reproduce it.
Dr. Rae Crane: What do you mean?
Dr. Robert Campbell: None of the new samples work and I have very little of the original serum left. That’s what I mean when I say I can’t reproduce it.
Dr. Rae Crane: Wait a minute. I don’t understand.
Dr. Robert Campbell: What don’t you understand? I found the cure for the fucking plague of the twentieth century and now I’ve lost it. Haven’t you ever lost anything doctor Bronx? Your purse? Your car keys? Well, it’s rather like that: Now you have it and now you don’t.
Dr. Robert Campbell: I found a cure for the plague of the 20th century, and now I’ve lost it!
Dr. Rae Crane: Yeah, but closing your eyes won’t make it disapear.
Dr. Robert Campbell: Neither will talk.
Dr. Robert Campbell: I gave Alka-Seltzer to a kid with a belly ache.
Dr. Rae Crane: You did what?
Dr. Robert Campbell: Alka-Seltzer. Cured him in one belch. It was the ‘plop-plop’-’fizz-fizz’ that really dazzled them.
[lowering themselves from a cliff, they reach the end of their ropes, still dangling in the air]
Dr. Rae Crane: What happened?
Dr. Robert Campbell: Nothing happened.
Dr. Rae Crane: What happened?
[sees the end of her rope]
Dr. Rae Crane: What happened? What do we do? What do we do now? *This* is a RESCUE?
[starts kicking out at him]
Dr. Rae Crane: This is a rescue? What’s the matter with you? You idiot! This isn’t a rescue, this is a suicide pact!
[kicks away Campbell’s hand as he reaches to steady her line]
Dr. Rae Crane: No!
Dr. Robert Campbell: Calm down! Give me your hand!
Dr. Rae Crane: What for?
[Campbell pulls out his knife and puts the blade to Rae’s rope as Rae looks up, horror stricken]
Dr. Rae Crane: What are you, crazy?
Dr. Rae Crane: [Campbell cuts her rope and Rae plummets down , landing feet first into the lake below] Ahhhhhhh!
[before the rescue]
Dr. Robert Campbell: Don’t cry. Listen, when this is over you can cry all you want, and I won’t say a word.
[after the rescue]
Dr. Robert Campbell: Don’t cry.
Dr. Rae Crane: [sobbing] You said I could cry all I want.
Dr. Robert Campbell: Oh yes, I did, didn’t I? Okay. Go ahead, knock yourself out.
[telling Campbell about her fiance]
Dr. Rae Crane: You may know him. Tom Fallon?
Dr. Robert Campbell: [incredulous] Tom Fallon? He’s almost eighty years old! You’ll inherit before the honeymoon’s over! I take my hat off to you, my dear.
Dr. Rae Crane: [annoyed] His son!
Dr. Robert Campbell: Oh. Oh no, I don’t know his son.
Dr. Robert Campbell: [referring to the blue tattoo on Dr. Crane’s forehead that the Rain Forest Medicine Man gave her while she was sleeping] Oh come on Bronx. Do you really think that Tommy Fallon is going to want to walk down the aisle with a woman who’s ‘something blue’ is a tattoo on her forehead?
Dr. Robert Campbell: Look, if I wanted to kill us, I’d have find better ways, no?
Dr. Rae Crane: Nooooooo!
Dr. Robert Campbell: Come on! Let go! Rae, let go!
Dr. Rae Crane: Ok…
[Rae is still unsure]
Dr. Robert Campbell: LET GO!
Dr. Rae Crane: OK!
[squeezes her eyes shut, and lets go of the branch]
Dr. Rae Crane: Wooo Ahhh Ahh Ahh! Wuuuhh!
[the line which Campbell has tied around her holds, and Rae swings back and then comes to be suspended next to the hill]
Dr. Robert Campbell: See? Nothing to worry about.
[Campbell begins to lower himself down and motions for Rae to do the same]
Dr. Robert Campbell: [Campbell and Rae are around a campfire, Rae is taking heavy swigs of the contents of Campbell’s jug] Careful, that’s peach Pernod, huh?
Dr. Rae Crane: [tries to stand up, and then sits down clumsily, very drunk] Why, I’m not driving!
Dr. Robert Campbell: Or walking, apparently.
Dr. Rae Crane: [drunkenly laughs] . Wooo! No wonder you like this stuff!
[Campbell moves over to her, brings her to her feet and seeing Rae is in no condition to walk, puts his arm between her legs, and in one motion, picks her up and cradles her in his arms, carrying her over to the hammock. Rae laughs drunkenly again as she is literally swept off her feet and begins to sing, horribly off key]
Dr. Rae Crane: I’m in a spin, lovin’ the spin I’m in! Come on, Campbell! Big finish, come on, sing us a bar! He He He! Come on!
Dr. Robert Campbell: [Campbell, very sober, begins to sing the first few words and Rae follows suit] There have been words, what can I do? I’m in a name, I’m in a flame…
[Campbell trails off, Rae sings the last word]
Dr. Rae Crane: Come on, sing it!
Dr. Robert Campbell: Get some sleep, Rae.
[Campbell begins to walk away]
Dr. Rae Crane: Doooon’t!
Dr. Robert Campbell: What?
Dr. Rae Crane: Don’t call me by my given name!
Dr. Robert Campbell: Don’t you like it?
Dr. Rae Crane: Yeaaaah, I like it…
[Rae slowly passes out as the hammock swings her to sleep, Campbell looks back to the hammock, and then back to the campfire]
Dr. Robert Campbell: I don’t need a fuckin’ interpreter!
Dr. Robert Campbell: Not get my head knocked off in the process.
[Campbell and the Medicine Man are in a battle of wills and walking sticks, while Campbell asks more specifics about the makeup of the serum to cure cancer]
Medicine Man: [shouting at Campbell, and banging his walking stick on the ground]
Tanaki: [translating for Rae] He say, he born of a monkey…
Dr. Robert Campbell: [speaks in the native tongue]
Tanaki: [translates for Rae] Father, you talk gods, know all things…
Dr. Rae Crane: Yeah, nice kiss.
Medicine Man: [shouting at Campbell in native tongue]
Medicine Man: [translating to Rae] He say, he have no father…
Dr. Robert Campbell: [speaks in native tongue]
Tanaki: [translates to Rae] Father, need ju-ju for sick boy. World hold many sick boy…
Medicine Man: [shouting at Campbell in native tongue]
Tanaki: [translates to Rae] He say, bring here…
Medicine Man: [shouting at Campbell in native tongue while fighting Campbell]
Tanaki: [translating to Rae] He say, he no more can get it up than…
Dr. Robert Campbell: [looks back to Tanaki and Rae, momentarily distracted] I don’t need a fuckin’ interpreter!
Dr. Rae Crane: I do!
[Campbell gets hit in the thigh by the Medicine Man’s staff as a result of the distraction, Rae winces in sympathy pain]
Dr. Rae Crane: Awwwww!
Dr. Robert Campbell: [in a slightly low but agitated tone] Watch your step, runt!
Dr. Rae Crane: Campbell…
[Rae cautions Campbell to continue to eat crow to get the information they came for]
Dr. Robert Campbell: [Campbell makes a peaceful motion, slightly raising his staff horizontally in the air but not leaving himself open for attack and speaks in the native tongue]
Tanaki: [translating for Rae] Father, its too far. Ju-Ju in sky flower?
Dr. Robert Campbell, Medicine Man: [both Campbell and the Medicine Man circle each other, feigning and parrying off each attack from each other, talking as they fight]
Dr. Rae Crane: What did he say, what did he say?
Medicine Man: AHHHHHHHHH!
[the Medicine Man tries to knock Campbell off his feet with his staff as he shouts a reply, but Campbell blocks the attack and the fight ends, a distressed look comes over Campbell’s face. The Medicine Man snuffs Campbell, and walks away]
Dr. Rae Crane: What did he say, what did he say?
Tanaki: [translates to Rae] No ju-ju sky flower… only house for bugs. Campbell’s a fool.
Dr. Robert Campbell: Well, we’re back to square one. Where did I go wrong, the kissing up or the eating crow part?
Dr. Rae Crane: Well, it wasn’t a total loss.
[Rae looks past Campbell. One of the natives has just walked up and looks to Campbell for help; he holds his sick child, now dying, in his arms]
