Quotes

The Silence of the Hams

Edit
  • Dr. Animal: The killer's name is Antonio and he hates his mother.
  • Joe: Why?
  • Dr. Animal: Maybe 'cause she's a pain in the ass! Did you ever think about that?
  • Mother: My son is alive? Who the fuck did I kill?
  • Detective Martin Balsam: Oh, no! Not again!
  • Antonio: The tension was so thick, and the music so pretentious, they knew they must be getting close...
  • Antonio: "Alone, on a private plane, Agent Joe finally decides" oh no, wait, wait, forget it... sorry, this scene was cut.
  • Antonio: I don't remember your name. You know, nobody ever comes here. It's hard to remember them all.
  • Jane: Jane.
  • Antonio: Ah, Jane! Like my cousin Maria.
  • Antonio: This is not a motel called "Cemetery". This is a cemetery called "Motel".
  • Dr. Animal: What are you most afraid of?
  • Jo: Anchovies.
  • Dr. Animal: Good answer.
  • Dwarf Guard: Dr. Animal's intelligence goes beyond the borders of the human mind. His savagery goes beyond the borders of the animal!
  • Joe: How could he go beyond so many borders without a passport?
  • Dr. Animal: Call me A.
  • Joe: A?
  • Dr. Animal: Also, call me Doctor.
  • Joe: A Doctor.
  • Dr. Animal: Doctor A!
  • Joe: Right sorry, Doctor A.
  • Dr. Animal: Bingo.
  • Joe: Doctor A. Bingo?
  • Dr. Animal: Moving on.
  • Michael Jackson: My arm! My arm!
  • Antonio: [Balsam's car won't start] Goodbye.
  • Detective Martin Balsam: Goodbye.
  • Antonio: Goodbye
  • Detective Martin Balsam: Goodbye.
  • Antonio: Goodbye.
  • Detective Martin Balsam: Goodbye.
  • Antonio: Goodbye.
  • Detective Martin Balsam: Goodbye.
  • [Several hours later Balsam's car finally starts]
  • Antonio: Goodbye.
  • [Balsam drives away]
  • Antonio: What a jerk, he left without saying "goodbye"!
  • Mrs. Motel: If you are still alive, who did I stab, stab to death?
  • Jo: Maybe that lady didn't kill her, maybe it was a mistake
  • Lily Wine: Oh, if only it were...
  • Jo: That's right, maybe Antonio killed her
  • Lily Wine: No...
  • Jo: Or she could have got run over by a truck
  • Lily Wine: No!
  • Jo: She could have got eaten by a cannibal, on a California vacation... any one of these, really... OR...
  • Lily Wine: Gasps
  • Jo: There's always the possibility of being torn to shreds by a harvester
  • Lily Wine: wraps her hands around Joe's throat to choke him
  • Jo: She could have fallen in to a vat of sulfuric acid, really it could have been any one of these things!
  • Antonio: Hasta La Baby Vista... Hasta La... Hasta La...
  • Dr. Animal: Iggy-poo!
  • Joe: "Iggy-poo"? What's that?
  • Dr. Animal: It's my happy noise.
  • Detective Martin Balsam: Robocrap. A Japanese version of Robocop.
  • Mrs. Motel: That's not the mummy! Place your bets - 6 to 1! 6 to 1!
  • Dr. Animal: Oh, I like you, Ms.
  • Joe: Mister.
  • Dr. Animal: Please, call me Doctor.
  • Joe: You know, you look better in pictures.
  • Detective Martin Balsam: You should see me in a bikini.
  • Antonio: I have to go and take a shower, because I smell like Kevin Costner after "Dances with wolves".
  • Jo: Just one second Jane, I'm not Jo. I'm...
  • Jane: Lily, I'm alive!
  • Motorcycle Cop: No need, I'm already here.
  • Jane: What did you say your name was?
  • Olaf: Olaf. I'm Swedish.
  • Jane: Oh, come on. Are you really Swedish?
  • Olaf: No, not quite. My father's Finnish, and my mother's Russian.
  • Jane: I could tell by your accent.
  • Antonio: Yes, I'm not a liar. I tell you the trout.
  • Detective Martin Balsam: The 'truth', I want the 'truth'.
  • Antonio: It's not a problem. Okay.
  • [Picks up a stuffed trout from under the front desk]
  • Antonio: Here it is, the 'truth'.
  • Mr. Laurel: [tries to grab the bag of money from Olaf] That's mine, or I'll call the cops.
  • Motorcycle Cop: Yes, I'm the officer, but not the officer you think. I'm...
  • Sharon Bone: I told you what happened that day. I have nothing else to say,
  • The Ranger: I forgot to tell ya. Antonio's mother asked me to tell you to stop howling under her window at night.
  • Interrogating Officer: Sharon Bone, you're lying! Stop pulling our legs!
  • Jo: [shouting] Detective Balsam!
  • [water pours on Jo, then bucket lands on Jo's head]
