[edit] Ray
- There's a Christmas tree somewhere in London with a bunch of presents underneath it that'll never be opened. And I thought, if I survive all of this, I'd go to that house, apologize to the mother there, and accept whatever punishment she chose for me. Prison... death... didn't matter. Because at least in prison and at least in death, you know, I wouldn't be in fuckin' Bruges. But then, like a flash, it came to me. And I realized, fuck man, maybe that's what hell is: the entire rest of eternity spent in fuckin' Bruges. And I really really hoped I wouldn't die. I really really hoped I wouldn't die.
- I don't hit women. I would never hit a woman, Chloë. I'd hit a woman who's trying to hit me with her bottle, that's different, that's self defense, isn't it? ...Or a woman who could do karate. I would never hit a woman generally.
- A great day this has turned out to be. I'm suicidal, me mate tries to kill me, me gun gets nicked and we're still in fucking Bruges.
[edit] Dialogue
- Ken: Coming up?
- Ray: What's up there?
- Ken: The view.
- Ray: The view of what? The view of down here? I can see that down here.
- Ken: Ray, you are about the worst tourist in the whole world.
- Ray: Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't.
- Ken: You from the States?
- Jimmy: Yeah. But don't hold it against me.
- Ken: I'll try not to... Just try not to say anything too loud or crass.
- Ken: Your girlfriend's very pretty.
- Jimmy: She's ain't my girlfriend. She's a prostitute I just picked up.
- Ken: I was not aware that there were any prostitutes in Bruges.
- Jimmy: You just have to look in the right places... brothels are good.
- Ken: Well, you've picked up a very pretty prostitute.
- Jimmy: Thank you.
- Ken: How did your date go?
- Ray: My date involved two instances of extreme violence, one instance of her hand on my cock and my finger up her thing, which lasted all too briefly - isn't that always the way? - one instance of me stealing 5 grams of a very high quality cocaine and one instance of me blinding a poofy little skinhead, so, all in all, my evening pretty well balanced out...fine.
- Ken: You've got five grams of coke?
- Ray: [shakes head] No, four grams on me and one gram in me, which me heart is going like the fucking clappers as if I'm about to have a heart attack, so if I collapse any minute now please remember to tell the doctors it might have something to do with the coke.
- Eirik: [about Ray] I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say.
- Harry: Well to be honest it sounds like it's all your fault.
- Eirik: What?
- Harry: I mean basically if you're robbing a man and you're only carrying blanks and you allow your gun to be taken off you and you allow yourself to be shot in the eye with a blank which I assume that the person has to get quite close to you then, yeah really it's all your fault for being such a poof, so why don't you stop whining and cheer the fuck up.
- Yuri: Eirek - I really wouldn't respond.
- Eirik: I thought you wanted the guy dead?
- Harry: I do want the guy dead, I want him fucking crucified but it don't change the fact that he stitched you up like a blind little gay boy, does it?
- [Harry is viciously attacking the telephone]
- Harry's wife: It's an inanimate fucking object!
- Harry: You're an inanimate fucking object!
- [Later]
- Harry: I'm sorry for calling you an inanimate object. I was upset.
- Ken: : We shall strike a balance between culture and fun.
- Ray: Somehow I believe, Ken, that the balance shall tip in the favor of culture, like a big fat fucking retarded fucking black girl on a see-saw opposite... a dwarf.
- Ken: Harry, let's face it. And I'm not being funny. I mean no disrespect, but you're a cunt. You're a cunt now, and you've always been a cunt. And the only thing that's going to change is that you're going to be an even bigger cunt. Maybe have some more cunt kids.
- Harry: [furious] Leave my kids fucking out of it! What have they done? You fucking retract that bit about my cunt fucking kids!
- Ken: I retract that bit about your cunt fucking kids.
- Harry: Insult my fucking kids? That's going overboard, mate!
- Ken: I retracted it, didn't I? [quietly] Still leaves you a cunt...
