Barfly (film)

"Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead."

"[to Eddie] Your mom's cunt smells like carpet cleaner."

"I remember ordering a draught, barkeep. What, are you out of brew, or has that lobotomy finally taken hold?"

"So you hired a dick to find an asshole?"

"It's hatred. It's the only thing that lasts."

"[Voice over] And as my hands drop the last desperate pen, in some cheap room, they will find me there and never know my name, my meaning, nor the treasure of my escape."

"[to his own bloody face as reflected in the bathroom mirror] Nothing but the dripping sink. Empty bottle. Euphoria. Youth fenced in, stabbed and shaved. Taut words propped up to die"

"I'd hate to be you if I were me."
