Quotes

The Gladiator

Edit
  • Joe Barker: There's order to the chaos of the universe - as above, so below. I mean, even here, there's a natural order posed by me, because here: I am God.
  • Rick Benton: Women aren't 'pretty cute', Jeff. Girls are cute.
  • [first lines]
  • Phil: [finishes a pint of beer] Nick - one more. Come on Nick, just one more?
  • Nick: You've had enough Phil, it's time to go home.
  • Garth Masters: I'm the king of the classic cars, and this, of course, is my kingdom. You know I'm number one in Los Angeles, and you know, when it comes to cars, Los Angeles is the world!
  • Susan Neville: So I guess that makes you king of the world?
  • Garth Masters: You're a perceptive woman! I like that, I like that. Susan Neville: talk show host? I listen, Hot Spot right? Look I've heard your show, I dig politics really - I'm a political kind of guy.
  • Susan Neville: Gee I never would have guessed.
  • Garth Masters: ...Susan, I took an imprint of your credit card - better safe than sorry!
  • Rick Benton: Look I told you I'd take you driving, what's your problem?
  • Jeff Benton: The problem? The problem is you've been promising we'd be going driving for three straight nights now and we're over three...
  • Rick Benton: I can't help it if something comes up
  • Jeff Benton: No, well something's always going to come up if we wait around long enough!
  • Jeff Benton: [about Rick taking him out for a driving lesson:] You're afraid I'm gonna crack up your truck. Look, why don't we just forget about it?
  • Rick Benton: I just can't believe that you're old enough to drive already.
  • Jeff Benton: What are you talking about?
  • Rick Benton: You know what I'm talking about; I mean that's how it starts: you start taking the truck out, picking up girls, leaving me at home to wash the paper plates while you're out raising hell - I know!
  • Jeff Benton: Hey, we can raise hell together! You know, in fact, we can pick up girls together - you could use a little brush up on your technique.
  • Rick Benton: Yeah? Who's gonna take care of you when I'm doing all this 'going out'? Who'd make you those great dinners!
  • Jeff Benton: Great dinners?
  • [Laughs]
  • Jeff Benton: Hey look, I'm old enough to take care of myself - I'm old enough to drive!
  • Rick Benton: So what else they been teaching you in that
  • [driving education]
  • Rick Benton: class?
  • Jeff Benton: They talk a lot about drunk driving
  • Rick Benton: Well that IS important - if you wanna drink, you don't drive...
  • Jeff Benton: With an alcohol blood level of above point o-five
  • Rick Benton: [Shakes head] Ah-ah, wrong! "O-O" for you!
  • Rick Benton: Now listen, the most important thing you gotta realise about driving is that you gotta drive defensively. Always watch where you going, don't assume anything. Even if you got a right of way, don't insist on it - you got that?
  • Jeff Benton: [Looking in rear-view mirror] That guy's pretty close
  • Rick Benton: [Looks back] Yeah, why don't you slow down, let him pass?
  • Jeff Benton: [Car collides into the back of their truck] WOAH! HEY, WHAT DO I DO?
  • Rick Benton: Take it easy take it easy - just keep driving, just keep it on the road - don't panic!
  • Rick Benton: [the truck races through a red light into an oncoming lorry] NOOOOO!
