Quotes from The Unforgiven
Jared: Are you free for lunch tomorrow?
Maxine: I'm not free, but I am definitely in your price range.
Amy: Obviously we need to have Susan Oglesby killed.
Carole: I should dial 911 but there's that new chain saw in the basement.
Brett Spurrier: Death is not guaranteed to anyone.
Amy: You must know something I don't, Mr. Spurrier.
Brett Spurrier: I mean predictable death, your honor.
Brett Spurrier: ...which would render this way moot.
Amy: Well, despite its potential way mootness....
Charles: I really resent what you did.
Maxine: What I did?
Charles; Our conversation was meant to be between you and me. Now, if you really care about my father as you claim, why would you want to hurt him by disclosing it?
Maxine: Charles, if you don't want me to hurt your father by telling him about the slimy, underhanded things you do behind his back, maybe the best approach would be to stop doing them.
Donna: Vincent, if you have an idea for a novel, you have to write it. You have an obligation.
Vincent: To?
Donna: God, the universe, uh, countless book clubs world-wide, yourself.
Donna: Vincent, this is perfect. Don't wreck it with stupid macho pride. Are you a man or an artist?
Bruce: I keep forgetting I'm smarter and better educated than you.
Amy: Uh, yeah, yeah, and the loftiness of your intellect is exceeded only by the depth of your humility.
Charles: Actually, you all really do the same thing. You... you bring order to the chaos.
Vincent: Not me, I just, uh, I feed off the chaos.
Lauren: What's chaos?
Amy: It's your room after the Brownies were here.
Amy: I thought he was sort of nice.
Maxine: Amy, there are a lot of nice sociopaths in the world.
Amy: She's gonna make a fool of herself... a boring fool.
Maxine: You're the one who wanted her to show her talent.
Amy: Well, I thought she might... have some.
Maxine: If you had tried to blackmail me, I would have hit you too.
Vincent: How was dinner?
Carole: Uh, half-way through the hors d'oevres I remembered why I don't have dinner with Jodi anymore. She's really boring.
Vincent: Oh.
Carole: And then I remember why I fell in love with an artist in the first place.
Vincent: Because I'm not boring?
Carole: Don't make it sound so unromantic.
Carole: Everyone loves strong people because they never ask for anything... but that doesn't mean that they don't need anything.
Vincent: What do you need right now?
Carole: I need to be a mess.
Vincent: Go for it.
Maxine: You stop using that word "fag." I hate that word. Except when one gay person uses it with another and then it's funny. I don't know why.
Amy: What am I gonna say to her?
Maxine: You're going to say, "Darling, you were wonderful."
Amy: But she wasn't wonderful.

Amy: Was I ever wonderful when you told me I was wonderful?
Maxine: Once or twice.
Amy: Once or twice? When?
Maxine: Just now.
