Quotes from
The Ref (1994)
[Gus on the phone with a bartender.]
Gus: Look, just see if there's a Murray there.
Bartender: [To the patrons.] Is there a Murray here? [Into the phone.] I don't think so.
Gus: See if there's a waste of fucking life named Murray, try that.
Bartender: [To the patrons.] Is there a fucking waste of life named Murray here?
Murray: Gussy? Yeah that's me.
Caroline: How can we both be in the marriage and I'm miserable and you're content?
Lloyd: Luck?
Gus: From now on, the only person who gets to yell is me. Why? Because I have a gun. People with guns get to do whatever they want. Married people without guns--for instance--you--DO NOT get to yell. Why? NO GUNS! No guns, no yelling. See? Simple little equation.
Lloyd: You know, you and my wife have a lot in common. You both think you have some right to life working out the way you want it to, and when it doesn't, you get to act the way you want. The only trouble with that is someone has to be responsible. I'd love to run around and take classes and play with my inner-self! I'd love the freedom to be some pissed-off criminal with no responsibilities, except I don't have the time! But you don't see me with a gun. And you don't see me sleeping with someone else. You think my life turned out the way I wanted because I live in this house? You think every morning I wake up, look in the mirror and say "Gee I'm glad I'm me and not some 19-year-old billionaire rockstar with the body of an athelete and a 24-hour erection!" No I don't! So just excuse the shit out of me!
Caroline: I had this dream...
Lloyd: Do we have to do dreams?
Caroline: I'm in this restaurant, and the waiter brings me my entree. It was a salad. It was Lloyd's head on a plate of spinach with his penis sticking out of his ear. And I said, "I didn't order this." And the waiter said, "Oh you must try it, it's a delicacy. But don't eat the penis, it's just garnish."
Dr. Wong: Lloyd, what do you think about the dream?
Lloyd: I think she should stop telling it at dinner parties to all our friends.
Gus: You know what this family needs? A mute.
Rose: You're a "Wang"?
Gus: Well, my mother was Irish.
Rose: And your father?
Gus: Wasn't.
Lloyd: You know what I'm going to get you next Christmas, Mom? A big wooden cross, so that every time you feel unappreciated for your sacrifices, you can climb on up and nail yourself to it.
Gus: Your husband ain't dead, lady; he's hidin'.
Gus: Connecticut is the fifth ring of hell.
Gus: I highjacked my fucking parents.
Lloyd: Caroline, the day you see anything through to the end, I'll stick my own dick in my ear.
Lloyd: I suppose you'll use this drama as a reason to have another affair. I feel sorry for the next delivery man that comes to this house!
John Chasseur: Mom, the TV's broken. What are we gonna do all night?
Connie Chasseur: Celebrate the birth of Christ!!
Gus: I have a gun, it's loaded, shut up.
