Stanley: Nothing is impossible. Axel Torvalds: He exists in a world beyond your world. What we only fantasize, he does. He lives a life where nothing is beyond him. But you know what? It's all a facade. For all his charm and charisma, his wealth, his expensive toys... he's a driven, unflinching, calculating machine. He takes what he wants, when he wants... and disappears. Ginger: Surprised that a girl with an IQ over seventy can give you a hard on?
Dialogue
Gabriel: Stanley, I'm about to do something that is against my better judgement. I'm going to tell you who I am. Stanley: Don't bother. I already know who you are. Gabriel: Really? You see I think that you think I'm a bank robber. But that's not the truth. The truth is I'm just like you. Stanley: You're a murderer. Gabriel: Indeed I am and worse, much worse.
Dialogue
Stanley: It's not gonna end like this. Gabriel: Oh, come on, Stan. Not everything ends the way you think it should. Besides, audiences love happy endings.
Dialogue
Gabriel: Have you ever heard of Harry Houdini? Well he wasn't like today's magicians who are only interested in television ratings. He was an artist. He could make an elephant disappear in the middle of a theater filled with people, and do you know how he did that? Misdirection. Stanley: What the fuck are you talking about? Gabriel: Misdirection. What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes.
Dialogue
Stanley: And you are? Ginger: I'm Ginger. Stanley: Where's Gilligan?
Dialogue
Ginger: You're not too good at this golf thing, are you, Stan? Stanley: You're fucking up my chi.
Dialogue
Stanley: War? Who are we at war with? Gabriel: Anyone who impinges on America's freedom. Terrorist states, Stanley. Someone must bring their war to them. They bomb a church, we bomb 10. They hijack a plane, we take out an airport. They execute American tourist, we tactically nuke an entire city. Our job is to make terrorism so horrific that is becomes unthinkable to attack Americans.
Dialogue
Roberts: How do I find this guy? Axel Torvalds: You don't find him; he finds you.
Dialogue
Stanley: What are you still doing here? Look, I'm beginning to lose my sense of humor about all this. Ginger: Ok, then I'll cut to the chase. If you want a chance in hell at getting your daughter back you better listen up. Unless of course, you want to stay here, in this loser existence, while your daughter grows up to be a fluffer in her new daddy's videos. Stanley: Do me the courtesy of not confusing your own childhood with my daughter's.
Dialogue
Gabriel: Big Stan! Nice suit. Stanley: Thanks. Gabriel: They say it's the suit that makes the man. Stanley: Buy it? Gabriel: Hope not!
Dialogue
Ginger: You know, you should really have let me buy you a suit, Stanley. Stanley: I'm happy with what I'm wearing, thank you. Ginger: Ignorance is bliss.
Dialogue
[looks at Stanley while packing away a rocket launcher] What? I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: If that launcher was a suppository, would that bad man stick it up my ass? Well, you eyeball me once more boy, and i'll stick it so far up your ass you'll be begging me for this bullet.

Stanley: I can't drive this thing! Gabriel: Learn!
Dialogue
Stanley: How can you justify all this? Gabriel: You're not looking at the big picture Stan. Here's a scenario. You have the power to cure all the world's diseases but the price for this is that you must kill a single innocent child, could you kill that child Stanley? Stanley: No. Gabriel: You disappoint me, it's the greatest good. Stanley: Well how about 10 innocents? Gabriel: Now you're gettin' it, how about a hundred - how about a THOUSAND? Not to save the world but to preserve our way of life. Stanley: No man has the right to make that decision; you're no different from any other terrorist. Gabriel: No, you're wrong Stanley. Thousands die every day for no reason at all, where's your bleeding heart for them? You give your twenty dollars to Greenpeace every year thinking you're changing the world? What countries will harbor terrorists when they realize the consequences of what I'll do? Did you know that I can buy nuclear warheads in Minsk for forty million each? Hell, I'd buy half a d

Gabriel: You tried to kill me. You've misplaced your loyalty, Senator, you've sold out America. Patriotism does not have a four-year shelf-life, but unfortunately politicians do. [Gabriel pulls out a gun] Senator Reisman: Now what are you gonna do with that? Gabriel: Thomas Jefferson once shot a man on the White House lawn for treason. Senator Reisman: Now hold the phone, Thomas Jefferson... (Gabriel shoots the Senator)
