Casey Affleck: Bobby

Drowning Mona

Bobby

Ellen: You're supposed to have that thing in your head that says, "BAD FUCKING IDEA, BOBBY!"
Bobby: I do have it! It just didn't work!

Wyatt Rash: [In questioning Bobby about the "landscaping demise" of a customer's small dog] I understand you don't cut the Schneiders' lawn anymore.
Bobby: No, Sir. Not since Jeff killed Peaches.
Wyatt Rash: Jeff killed Peaches ..? I thought it was the other way around.
Bobby: Peaches killed Jeff?

Bobby: [after grabbing the golf club Mona is using to damage Bobby's Yugo] God... this is. I mean, enough's enough. All I ever wanted was a nice professional business so that Ellie and I could have a...
Jeff Dearly: [Cuts off Bobby and begins tapping his thumb and middle finger together] Yeah, yeah, yeah... You know what this is? This is the world's smallest tambourine, and it's, and it's playing some sort of song or something.
Mona Dearly: Shut up! Shut up! That's a violin, you asshole! Give me that thing, give me that!

Bobby: Mona Dearly's dead.
Ellen: What?
Bobby: She's dead--It was just a--car accident.
Ellen: You gotta be kiddin' me. Well--We gotta celebrate!
Bobby: Jesus, God, Ellie, she's a human being. Have a little respect.
Ellen: I don't gotta have respect for no one in that family. Think how they treated you.
Bobby: How did they treat me?
Ellen: Badly! They're a houseful of freaks!

Ellen: Yeah, but you're not even supposed to get that far, you're supposed to have that thing in your head that goes off and says, 'bad FUCKING idea, Bobby!'
Bobby: I have that thing! I have that thing. It just didn't go off.
Ellen: [pause] Yeah, well, I'm pregnant.
Bobby: What? You're pregnant? That's great!
Ellen: Uh-huh! I thought so too, 'til a moment ago. I can't believe you killed someone!
[gets up to leave]
Bobby: Where you going?
Ellen: Home!
Bobby: We need milk.

Bobby: [after Ellen slaps him after explaining what he did] What you do that for?
Ellen: [outraged] You killed Mona Dearly!
Bobby: [chastened] I know.
Ellen: BUT WHY!
Bobby: Because I thought I was killing Jeff!
Ellen: Bobby, my dad is the chief of police!
Bobby: I know, but I wasn't gonna go through with it.
Ellen: It doesn't matter; you killed someone!
Bobby: I know, but I was doing it for us. Jeff was killing the business, and Mona wasn't gonna let me out of the partnership, so--Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Ellen: A good idea at the time? "Cut the grass at 6:00, lay sod at 7:00, DROWN THE DEARLYS AT 8:00"!

Bobby: [Regarding the cost of boneless chicken for the wedding] All right, uh, listen Murph, what's up with the whole chicken thing? You gonna help us out?
Murph: Bobby, look... if you want somebody to sit there and yank the bones out of a hundred chickens, it's gonna run ya money.
Bobby: All right look, but, you're my--y' know, you're the best man at this wedding, Murph...
Murph: I'm not makin' any money on this weddin' as it is!
Bobby: [High-pitched voice cracks] ... You know, you're my brother. Can't ya jist... do a brotherly deboning, or something?
