On the Waterfront (1954)
- Directed By Elia Kazan
- Screenplay by Budd Schulberg (based on magazine articles by Malcolm Johnson )
- Some people think the Crucifixion only took place on Calvary.
- You want to know what's wrong with our waterfront? It's the love of a lousy buck. It's making love of a buck— the cushy job— more important than the love of man!
- Edie: Shouldn't everybody care about everybody else?
Terry Malloy: Boy, what a fruitcake you are!
- But Pop, I've seen things that I know are so wrong. Now how can I go back to school and keep my mind on... on things that are just in books, that-that-that aren't people living?
- Terry Malloy: If I spill, my life ain't worth a nickel.
Father Barry: And how much is your soul worth if you don't?
- Isn't it simple as one, two, three? One. The working conditions are bad. Two. They're bad because the mob does the hiring. And three. The only way we can break the mob is to stop letting them get away with murder.
- The only arithmetic he ever got was hearing the referee count up to ten.
- Hey, you wanna hear my philosophy of life? Do it to him before he does it to you.
- You know this city's full of hawks? That's a fact. They hang around on the top of the big hotels. And they spot a pigeon in the park. Right down on him.
- Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money.
- You don't understand. I could'a had class. I could'a been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley.
- You think you're God Almighty, but you know what you are? You're a cheap, lousy, dirty, stinkin' mug! And I'm glad what I done to you, ya hear that? I'm glad what I done!
- You know you're not too funny today, fat man.
- Where you guys going? Wait a minute! I'll remember this! I'll remember every one of you! I'll be back! Don't you forget that! I'll be back!
