Quotes6

  • Bo Catlett: I'd like to introduce my associate, The Bear. Movie stuntman, champion bodybuilder. Throws out things I don't want.
  • Bear: I think you ought to turn around and head back to Miami.
  • Chili Palmer: So you're a stuntman, huh?
  • Bear: Yeah.
  • Chili Palmer: You any good?
  • Bear: Am I any good?
  • [He turns to Bo, laughing. Chili grabs him by the balls, then throws him down the stairs]
  • Chili Palmer: That's not bad for a guy his size.
  • [after Bo's balcony rail gives way, pitching Bo over the side to the bottom of the canyon]
  • Chili Palmer: How do you think that happened?
  • [Bear holds up a handful of screws and nuts]
  • Bear: Beats the shit out of me.
  • Chili Palmer: If you're gonna set somebody up, it's gotta be a surprise, you got that?
  • Bear: You spotted them, huh?
  • Chili Palmer: What, did you see that work in some movie you got beat up in?
  • [after Chili beats up Bear]
  • Chili Palmer: Bear, look at me. You tell your boss I don't ever want to see him again. And that means he's got to be nowhere near me, Karen, or Harry. You understand?
  • [Bear nods]
  • Chili Palmer: Okay, get up. What are you hanging around that guy for, anyway? I mean, you were in the movies, right? You were a stuntman. What's he ever done that he can talk about? You okay?
  • Bear: Not too bad.
  • Chili Palmer: How about when you fell down the stairs?
  • Bear: Pulled my quadriceps.
  • Chili Palmer: So how many movies you been in, anyway?
  • Bear: About sixty.
  • Chili Palmer: No shit. What were some of them?
  • Bo Catlett: You see how he just went over the rail like that? Maybe I could get Chili Palmer up here, and you could fix my balcony to give way like they do in the movies. I invite him to take a look at my view, he leans over the rail, pitches off the balcony into the sweet by-and-by...
  • Bear: Cat, that's the dumbest idea I've ever heard.
  • Bo Catlett: You get the money?
  • Bear: No. What's this?
  • Bo Catlett: Plan B.
