Sid Vicious [edit]
- Y'know, I was so bored once that I fucked a dog.
- [while trying to play the bass lines to "Pretty Vacant"] "And we don't fucking care!"
Nancy Spungen [edit]
- Never trust a junkie.
- If I asked you to kill me, would you?
Malcolm McLaren [edit]
- But Sidney's more than a mere bass player. He's a fabulous disaster. He's a symbol, a metaphor. He embodies the dementia of a nihilistic generation. He's a fuckin' star!
Dialogue [edit]
- Malcolm: Phoebe - how would you like to supervise our Sidney for a month or two?
- Phoebe: No way.
- Malcolm: Go on; you'd be a good influence on the boy. Why not?
- Phoebe: Infectious hepatitis, loony girlfriend, drugs?
- Malcolm: Boys will be boys.
- Paul: Fucking cabbies, that's what we should be. Make two hundred quid a night being a cabbie.
- Sid: Why don't you fuck off and be one then?
- Paul: 'Cos it takes 18 months to learn.
- Sid: You need a driving license too.
- Paul: And a set of golf clubs.
- [getting off the phone with her parents]
- Nancy: I fucking hate them! I fucking hate them! Ass! Ow! Fucking motherfuckers! They wouldn't send us any money! They said we'd spend it on DRUGS!
- Sid: We would!
- Nancy: I hate my fuckin' life.
- Sid: This is just a rough patch. Things'll be much better when we get to America, I promise.
- Nancy: We're in America. We've been here a week. New York is in America, you fuck!
- Sid: [in a taxi on the way to the airport] I wish we wasn't breaking up.
- Phoebe: Well it's a bit late for that isn't it? Paul and Steve are flying to Rio, Malcom's in London, John's in New York.
- Sid: Yeah, great. What am I gonna do?
- Phoebe: Anything you like; you're a free agent now.
- Sid: I'll go home; see Nancy.
- Phoebe: Yeah, well do that.
- Sid: Master Kung Fu.
- Phoebe: Look try and get off the heroin OK? Come on promise.
