Quotes:

John Reigart: [holds up Twinkie packet] I have a weakness for these things.::Allison: Maybe it's the angel-food cake.::John Reigart: [pause] God forbid.

John Reigart: [first line of the movie] The last chapter of the Bible is called Revelations. It promises the end of life as we know it. If that's the case, you might want to ask yourself: Is that really such a good thing?

Allison: I need you to help me.::John Reigart: Are you sure?::Allison: You helped me the last time.::John Reigart: I protected you from one of my own for my own reasons. That's all.::Allison: I thought...::John Reigart: [interrupts] A word of advice. Don't ever assume you know my motives. Ever.

Allison: It's a nightmare. A crazy dream. Any minute you're going to wake up, Allison. You're going to wake up and this whole thing is gonna be over.::John Reigart: Careful, Allison. People might think you're crazy.::John Reigart: [looking out at park] I love this park. Perverts and lunatics everywhere. I'm like a kid in a candy store.::Allison: Something tells me you're not out here trawling for new recruits.::John Reigart: Who knows? Maybe I'm trawling for you.

John Reigart: You look remarkably stylish for a marked woman.::John Reigart: How are we sleeping these nights?::Allison: Sleep's not real big on my to-do list right now.::John Reigart: Demagogues, martyrs, schizophrenics... they all tend to run toward insomnia.

Allison: Whatever you're looking for, you won't find it if I'm dead.::Dylan: I work for a boss who prefers to extract secrets from corpses. They tend not to lie so much.

Stark: You've memorized her morning routine,::Dylan: She wakes at 6:45, puts on the coffee at 6:50 and showers at 6:53. She soaps herself from the toes up- which is a little strange, actually, because, when you think about it, most people lather from the neck down.::Stark: A man who relishes his work.

John Reigart: Politics of Angels you see are not so very different from those of men. Both have rules to follow, codes of conduct, laws. Both for example have constraints regarding murder.And ways to get around those constraints.::Allison: Hired assassins.::John Reigart: But it would seem that the preferred option is no longer in play. You have in parlance of the CIA turned their chief asset. Your new friend: Dylan.

Maria: Don't give it to them, even if they tear you apart.

Allison: So by protecting the Lexicon I'm doing the Devil's work... aren't I?::John Reigart: Sometimes the interests of Heaven and Hell are not so very different, Allison. Get used to it.

Quotes:

John Riegert: [ looking at a crowded street ] Just shove them out of the way::Dani Simionescu: [incredulous] They're human beings, John, not sheep::John Riegert: If you insist on splitting hairs.::Dani Simionescu: I do, actually.::John Riegert: [pause] That one looks like a sheep.

Ion: [as Belial] Frankly I expected more of a scuffle. But then again, you do have a lot of self imposed limitations here. Hardly makes a game of it.::John Riegert: Don't worry. I think I can keep it interesting.::Ion: I do hope so... for old times' sake.

John Riegert: It's done. For now.::Allison: Where is he?::John Riegert: Belial? He's where he belongs. With Me.::[looks up at sky]::John Riegert: God created the world in seven days. This is the eighth. Remember, there are still so many out there that despise you. And your kind.::Allison: Why?::John Riegert: Because of what you are. And more than that, what you might yet become.::Allison: What about you? Do you despise me?

Laurel: Sorry I'm late. We had to stop for petrol and sweets.

Dani Simionescu: [on Serban's murder] I didn't do it, if that's what you're driving at, John. You see, I like to see their faces.::John Riegert: You're acting rather cavalier for a man in your tenuous position.::Dani Simionescu: That's fucking it!::[pulls the car over]::Dani Simionescu: Right, let's get one thing straight. I know when someone's trying to sweat me and quite frankly I don't fucking like it, so if you've got something to say, say it to my fucking face or get the fuck out of my fucking car.::John Riegert: I believe you're guilty of nothing more than a certain degree of moral ambivalence.

Laurel: From here on, you need to understand something.::Hardy: What?::Laurel: You need to understand that if you haven't stopped following me by the time I reach the top of these stairs, I'm going to have to put a bullet through your head.

Dani Simionescu: Not again. I do wish you'd stop shoving things down your knickers, Serban. Makes me feel so cheap.

John Riegert: Your mother didn't weep for you, Dani. But she weeps for you now.::John Riegert: [after quick flashback to Dani's mother] You can hear it, everytime you close your eyes, can't you?::Dani Simionescu: Tell me, who you are.::John Riegert: Are you sure that's what you really want?

John Riegert: [first line in the movie] I'm here to find one lost soul. I have no interests in tyrants or heros. Rather I prefer the lives of smaller men. The ones left behind.

John Riegert: He's lying. He can't touch you.::Allison: How do I know that?::John Riegert: Because this house, forgive the overused metaphor is Hell on Earth. It was ceded to me by virtue of the deeds commited here which makes it my domain. My house. My rules.::Allison: What about you?::John Riegert: I don't want the book. It repulses me. I'd much prefer you kept it.::Laurel: Oh brilliant. You're not even going for the win now? How pathetic. Great Satan himself and he's playing for the draw?::John Riegert: There's always tomorrow, Belial.

Ben, a high school senior, and his older brother Van are exploring "the other": in Ben's case, it's friendship with Sylvia, a Black student; with Van, it's a party in the WASP part of town and falling for a debutante, Dubbie.

Quotes:

Ben Kurtzman: [voice-over at the end] Life is made up of a few big moments, and a lot of little ones. I still remember the first time I kissed Sylvia, or the last time I hugged my father before he died. And I still remember that white-bread sandwich and that blonde dancing girl with the cigarette pack on her thigh. But a lot of images fade, and no matter how hard I try, I can't get them back. I had a relative once who said that if I knew things would no longer be, I would have tried to remember better.

Ben Kurtzman: You don't walk out on Sinatra, sir.

Little Melvin: Don't make me moody.

Nate Kurtzman: The government doesn't know from shit. They integrate the golf courses in '51, and schools in '54. Where's their priorities?::Louie: They integrated the cricket field in Clifton Park back in '50. Can't find a colored person who plays cricket.::Pete, Nate's Assistant: I beg to differ. That was part of the separate but equal ruling. The coloreds could only play cricket on Tuesdays.::Louie: You can't find a colored person who wants to play cricket on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Kiss-My-Tuchis-Day.::Charlie, Nate's Assistant: For that matter, you can't find a white person who wants to play cricket. What is it with that game? It makes no sense. How many players do you need there? What do they use, a mallet or something?::Pete, Nate's Assistant: Isn't that the one with the hoops?::Charlie, Nate's Assistant: That's croquet.::Louie: Nah, croquet is something you eat.::Nate Kurtzman: Everything is something you eat.::Louie: No, I saw it here on the menu.

[after Trey has crashed his car]::Ted: This is very unfortunate.::Trey Tobelseted: You know, it's obvious the smiling pumpkins distracted me.

Dubbie the Blonde: Do you speak french?::Van Kurtzman: No. Do you?::Dubbie the Blonde: Yes. Not as well as my father's boyfriend. But then again, he is French.

Guy: So where are you from?::Alan Joseph Zuckerman: Forest Park.::Guy: [surprised] Forest Park?::Alan Joseph Zuckerman: Yeah, off Liberty Heights.::Guy: That's, uh, Jewish, right?::Alan Joseph Zuckerman: [nervous pause] Damn near, yeah... Seems, uh, more's moving in too, y'know? So it's really... it's really getting that way.

Ada Kurtzman: How are the coloureds doing at school?::Ben Kurtzman: Okay, they're doing okay. They're getting better grades than I am. The girl's pretty attractive.::Ada Kurtzman: What?::Ben Kurtzman: ...She's attractive.::Ada Kurtzman: [angrily] Oh, just kill me now! Just kill me now!::Ben Kurtzman: What are you talking about...::Ada Kurtzman: What do you mean "she's attractive"?::Ben Kurtzman: Pretty.::Ada Kurtzman: Oh my God...::Ben Kurtzman: Mom, I said she was attractive, that doesn't necessarily mean I'm attracted to her!

Grandma Rose: Get a haircut.

Ben Kurtzman: By the way, where's the jawbone of the ass?::Ada Kurtzman: What?::Ben Kurtzman: The jawbone of the ass, where is it?::Grandma Rose: Is he crazy?
