Basic Instinct
1992
Nick: Are you a pro? Catherine: No, I'm an amateur.
Nick: What did Manny Vasquez call you? Catherine: "Bitch" mostly, but he meant it affectionately.
John Correli: Were you ever engaged in any sadomasochistic activity? Catherine: Exactly what did you have in mind, Mr Correli?
Internal Affairs Investigator: There's no smoking in this building, detective. Nick: (repeating Catherine) What are you gonna do? Charge me with smoking?
Psychologist: Nick, when you recollect your childhood, are your recollections pleasing to you? Nick: Number 1, I don't remember how often I used to jerk off, but it was a lot. Number 2, I wasn't pissed off at my dad, even when I was old enough to know what he and mom were doing in the bedroom. Number 3, I don't look in the toilet before I flush it. Number 4, I haven't wet my bed for a long time. Number 5, why don't the two of you go fuck yourselves; I'm outta here.
Gus: Did you ever do drugs with Mr Boz? Catherine: Sure. Gus: What kind of drugs? Catherine: Cocaine. Have you ever fucked on cocaine, Nick? It's nice. (Catherine Tramell uncrosses her legs and it can be seen she's wearing no underwear) Nick: You like playing games don't you? Catherine: I have a degree in psychology, it goes with the turf... Games are fun.
(last lines) Catherine: What do we do now, Nick? Nick: Fuck like minxs, raise rugrats and live happily ever after. Catherine: Hate rugrats. Nick: Fuck like minxs, forget the rugrats, and live happily ever after.
Catherine: Killing isn't like smoking. You can stop.
(Nick just had rough sex with Beth) Beth Garner: You've never been like that before. Why? Nick: You tell me, you're the shrink. Beth Garner: You weren't making love to me! Nick: Well, who was I making love to?
Gus: Well, she got that magna cum laude pussy on her that done fried up your brain!
Andrews: Check it out. Cum stains, all over the sheets. Gus: Looks like he got off before he got off.
John Correli: Did you kill Mr Boz, Miss Tramell? Catherine: I'd have to be pretty stupid to write a book about killing and then kill him the way I described in my book. I'd be announcing myself as the killer. I'm not stupid.
Nick: Writing a book about it gives you an alibi for not killing him. Catherine: Yes it does, doesn't it?
Nick: How did you feel when I told you Johnny Boz had died, that day at the beach? Catherine: I felt somebody had read my book and was playing a game. Nick: But you didn't hurt. Catherine: No. Nick: Because you didn't love him. Catherine: That's right. Nick: Even though you were fucking him. Catherine: You still get the pleasure. Didn't you ever fuck anybody else while you were married, Nick?
Internal Affairs Investigator: You can't smoke in here. Nick: (repeating Catherine) What are you going to do? Charge me with smoking?
Nick: What's your new book about? Catherine: A detective. He falls for the wrong woman. Nick: What happens to him? Catherine: She kills him.
Gus: Everyone that she plays with dies.
Gus: Where in the fuck you been? I went over to your place. Nick: Easy there, partner. I wasn't there. Gus: I went over last night, too. Nick: I wasn't there last night, either. Gus: You... fucked her! Goddamn dumb sonofabitch! You fucked her! Goddamn, you are one dumb sonofabitch!
Gus: I thought you said he was a rock and roll star. Lt Walker: He was a retired rock and roll star. Capt Talcott: A civic-minded, very respectable rock and roll star. Gus: What's that over there? Nick: It looks like some civic-minded, very respectable cocaine to me, Gus.
Nick: Put 'em on the god damn table and LEAVE! Beth Garner: Damn it! Don't shut me out, you owe me more than that! Nick: I don't owe you ANYTHING and you don't owe me anything.
Beth Garner: (Nick finds out that Beth and Catherine had slept together in college) What was I supposed to say? "Hey, guys, I'm not gay, but I did fuck your suspect"?
Nick: I'm working my ass off, I'm off the sauce, I even stopped smoking. Beth Garner: How's not smoking? Nick: It sucks.
(first lines) Gus: Who was this fucking guy? Nick: Rock and Roll, Gus. Johnny Bos? Gus: Never heard of him. Nick: Before your time, cowboy. Hey, Ronny! Where they hiding? Ronny: Upstairs to the right. Nick: Mid Sixties he had five or six hits. Got a club down in Fillmore now. Gus: Not now, he don't.
Nick: Let me ask you something, Rocky, me and the man. I think she's the fuck of the century, what do you think?
Nick: I'm in love with you already, but I'll nail you anyway.
Nick: What is this? Some kind of JOKE?
