"Narrator: When you come to the end of the line, with a buddy who is more than a brother and a little less than a wife, getting blind drunk together is really the only way to say farewell."

"I want you to know that eventually this'll all be over, and whatever we win or lose, it'll be the two of you having to figure this out together."

"Bruce Lee: Now I admire Cassius Clay, I do. What I admire is, in his sport there is an element of true combat. When Cassius Clay meets Sonny Liston in the ring, that's not two athletes posturing; that's combat. Two men, trying to kill each other right now. If you don't beat him…he kills you. That's beyond athletics. That's beyond Wide World of Sports, you know? That's two warriors engaged in combat; that's what I admire."

"- Judge Neil Tilden"

"Getting divorced with a kid is one of the hardest things to do. It's like a death without a body."

"Dominique Reymond as Marthe"

"Olivier Rabourdin as Robert"

"Philippe Duclos as Father"

"Father: I would have preferred doing otherwise. Or living otherwise. But I let myself get overcome by things. Things foreign to me. They settled in. Little by little. They destroyed my hope. They began to rule. You can understand that when I was young this wasn't the life I dreamed of. I didn't dream of this Iife because I wasn't this person.I was full of joy and energy. You didn't know me, Pierre. As soon as you were born, my youth fell apart. I have the impression that my life today doesn't correspond to my true nature. I have the impression I haven't changed. Still full of joy and energy. But unable to prove it to others. Alone in my joy and energy."

"Isabelle Huppert as Hélène"

"Louis Garrel as Pierre"

"Emma de Caunes as Hansi"

"Joana Preiss as Réa"

"Jean-Baptiste Montagut as Loulou"

"The origin of the world is this hole. Nowhere else. Never believe those who pretend otherwise."

"Loving your mother isn't everything... nor being intelligent. Nor being handsome. Nor being frighteningly serious. Where will that take you if you ignore the joy of others?"

"Your father is dead. I won't lie to you anymore. You must admit that I'm worse than him. I don't deserve your respect. What do you think I've been doing every afternoon all these years? Why were you raised by your grandmother? What did you imagine? Look at me, Pierre! I'm a bitch. A slut. No one respects me. Your father knew. He allowed it. If you really love me, then admit that I'm disgusting. I want you to love me for that. For the shame I inspire in you."

"The Turks are wonderful. Not like what people say. They're good. Nothing like the Spanish. They're the empty core of life. Living next to them is already stooping low."

"Wrong isn't what we're about to do. Wrong is wanting to survive it."

"Even if we're thousands of kilometers apart. We must refuse together the world of those patiently waiting for death to enlighten them. We must turn our backs to them with pride."

"Your father was weak like you. Maybe now you know desire reduces us to weakness."

"Sometimes, I can admit if I love Hansi's ass so much, then it's because I want God to curse it. I now associate joy... That faraway joy in God that I knew... I admit they're both equally holy. Her ass makes me realize I never really loved God. I liked the idea of being abandoned by God. I was reciting catechism, that's all. God is something other than my old prayers. He is my way of losing my senses. By loving Hansi, I hope to slowly lose my senses. In a slow way, but not lifeless, you know. A choppy slowness. Choppy and scalp-tingling. It doesn't always make me happy. I don't think I lose my senses more with Hansi than with God. I don't know if you wanted to guide me toward this slowness. Maybe you think Hansi isn't perverse enough for me."

"[last line of the film] Please, don't die, mom!"

"The last lap is always the best!"

"The pleasure only begins the moment the worm is in the fruit."

"[as Réa is mounting on him] I'm your horse?"

"Would you accept to be the mother of a god? To be Mary? Why are sons always asked to be gods?"

"Loulou: This goes to your mother. The Mediterranean bitch."

"And as they did not like to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a discerning mind, to do unsuitable things: being filled with all injustice, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, homicidal thoughts, strife, deceit, bad habits; whisperers, revilers, enemies of God. Some who understand the law of God still practice such actions. They are worthy of death. They not only do them, but even commend those who practice them."

"We don't wanna talk, we wanna scream at people, but we don't wanna listen or problem solve and that's what's frustrating about the fucking dynamic of the group!"

"What are you an odds maker? You're going to work everyone through this thing here? Let me tell you something, fucko, if that motherfucker right there don't take that knife away from my friend's neck, I'll use all six shots to make sure you're dead. Now do you believe it? Do you fucking believe it?"

"[after a pottery clerk throws an ashtray on his table] There's a nice way to do that!"

"And I hope you know frogs aren't purple, you ever seen a purple frog? [Chole nods] Oh yeah? When? When you where asleep?"

"Vince Vaughn as Ricky Slade"

"A lot going on. But there always is, isn't there? A lot going on."

"You must be the Red Dragon!"

"[Ricky: You wanna bet me that I can't get a gun?] You couldn't even get a handjob from the bridge and tunnel posse at the club last night!"

"Peter Falk as Max Reuben"
