  Hudson Hawk : Betty Jo Biarski? I can get you an address on that, if you want.

• Anna : [after Hawk learns she is a nun]  It doesn't mean I don't love you.

  Hudson Hawk : Oh, no! You love me! It's your *job*! You probably love Butterfinger over there.

  Anna : Well, yeah, in a weird sort of Catholic way, I do.

• Hudson Hawk : How am I driving? 1-800-I'm-gonna-fuckin'-die!

• Hudson Hawk : If the Mario brothers weren't New Jersey's third-largest crime family, I'd say, "Kiss my ass." But considering your status, I will say, "Slurp my butt."

• [Tommy Five-Tone is miraculously alive at the end of the film] 

  Hudson Hawk : You're supposed to be all cracked up at the bottom of the hill!

  Tommy Five-Tone : Airbags! Can you fucking believe it?

  Tommy Five-Tone : Sprinkler system set up in the back! Can you *fucking* believe it?

• Hudson Hawk : Hey, this doesn't taste like cappuccino.

  Anna : Oh. I guess I put too much ethyl chloride in it.

• Waiter : I am the waiter, sir.

  Hudson Hawk : Oh. Very nice. Fettucini con fungi porcinni. Prego. Oh, and bring me a bottle of ketchup, will ya?

  Anna : You heard him.

  Waiter : Ketchup! Ketchup! Stupid Americanos, always ketchup...

• Tommy Five-Tone : Did I miss anything?

  Hudson Hawk : Gates tries to blackmail me, you ask me "Did I miss anything." Gates gets killed, you say "Did I miss anything." I bet you went up to Mrs. Lincoln at the Ford Theatre and said "How was the show? Did I miss anything?"

• Hudson Hawk : Anna, we're supposed to be saving you.

  Anna : I know. I got bored so I saved myself.

• Darwin Mayflower : The last ingredient in the recipe is Da Vinci's model of a helicopter...

  Darwin Mayflower : Shut up, you're going to make me lose my place!

  Hudson Hawk : Those better be tears you're crying, Tommy.

  Tommy Five-Tone : [laughing and trying not to show it]  They are!

• Hudson Hawk : But I want to do community service; I want to teach the handicapped how to yodel.

• Darwin Mayflower : So, Hawkmeister. We've got you clothes, a great hotel and a 250,000 lira per diem.

  Minerva Mayflower : That's 200 dollars a day. So he can get a hooker and some tequila? Veto, Darwin!

  Hudson Hawk : I guess we see who wears the penis in this family.

• Hudson Hawk : Will you play Nintendo with me?

  Anna : I can't think of anyone I'd rather play Nintendo with.

• Anna : In one day - less than one day of planning, and you did it. You started the week by stealing the Sforza and ended by swiping the Codex. What are your plans for the weekend? Hoisting away the Coliseum? Tell me, did the Devil make you do it, or did Darwin and Minerva Mayflower?

  Hudson Hawk : Can't we just go back to the kissing part?

• Hudson Hawk : [after throwing Butterfinger head first into the phone booth]  Want a little more, Jumbo? I'll kick your big flabby ass!

  George Kaplan : Impressive, Hawk. Enjoying Italy?

  Hudson Hawk : [rubs his chin after being hit in the face]  Yeah.

  George Kaplan : Yes, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Rome. I did my first bare-handed strangulation here. Communist politician.

  Hudson Hawk : Why George, you big softie.

  George Kaplan : God, I miss Communisim. The Red Threat, people were scared... the agency had some respect, and I got laid every night. Snickers, brief him.

  Snickers : Good news Hawk, the Mayflowers have moved up the timetable, you're hitting the Vatican tonight.

  Hudson Hawk : Oh no! No no, hold on, no way! The timing is off, I'm underequipped, and besides that, I've got a date.

  Almond Joy : [grabs Hudson's list and reads it]  Grapple, biker's bottle, pocket fisherman, olive oil, 100 stamps? Gee stud, this's going to be some date! No Harvey's Bristol Cream?

  George Kaplan : Snickers, make that list happen. Oh, and Hawk, it's one thing to mess with the Mayflowers, but we're sore losers. We blow up space shuttles for breakfast. You and your friend Tommy are nothing more than... a late afternoon Triscuit. Ciao.

  [He and Snickers walk away] 

  Hudson Hawk : Hey! Old man! Yeah, you! You come back here without your little Cub Scout army, and I'll kick your Centrally-Intelligent Ass up one side of the piazza and down the other!

  [Kit Kat has been standing behind him, mimicking his tirade. Hawk finishes, and elbows Kit Kat in the face. Kit Kat hands Hawk a card] 

  Hudson Hawk : [reading]  "Beware the blue wire."

  [Hawk looks up and does a double take to see Kit Kat has disappeared, and Butterfinger handing him 100 stamps] 

  Butterfinger : Hey Mr. Hawk, I got your stamps.

  Hudson Hawk : [imitating BooBoo]  Good, Yogi.

• [Hawk has just decapitated a villain] 

  Hudson Hawk : Looks like you won't be attending that hat convention in July.

• Gates : I got a proposition for ya.

  Hudson Hawk : Answer's "no," Gates... Even if you bathe.

• Hudson Hawk : The man knows! The man knows!

• [Anna, Tommy and Hudson Hawk are passing by the Forum Romanum] 

  Hudson Hawk : Why do they leave all these rocks and shit lying around in the back yard?

  Tommy Five-Tone : They're called ruins, Eddie.

  Hudson Hawk : Ruins, huh? That's a good name for 'em.

• [Kit Kat rappels down next to Hawk and holds an index card in front of his face, on which is written: "MY NAME IS KIT KAT. THIS IS NOT A DREAM." Then he chops Hawk on the back of the neck and walks off. Next, Snickers appears and shocks Hawk with a taser] 

  Hudson Hawk : OW! What the fuck is the matter with you?

  Snickers : Name's Snickers. Your plane leaves in forty.

  [He walks off. A crate falls open and a woman appears] 

  Almond Joy : Almond Joy. Get it? Candy bars. It's better than when we first started out, our code names were diseases. Do you know what it's like being called Chlamydia for a year? Whoops, forgot.

  [She backfists Hawk in the face and walks off. Then a huge man steps out of a port-o-potty, catches his jacket in the door and tips the port-o-potty over trying to get free] 

  Butterfinger : The name's Butterfinger.

  Hudson Hawk : No shit.

  George Kaplan : [appears]  Do you like the Company's new look? I call them the MTV-IA.

  Almond Joy : George, you promised: no old CIA/new CIA jokes.

  George Kaplan : Punks. They think that the Bay of Pigs is an herbal tea and that the Cold War has something to do with Penguins.

  Hudson Hawk : Don't I know you?

  George Kaplan : The last time you saw me, I was bald, with a beard and no mustache, and I had a different nose. So if you don't recognize me, I won't be offended.

  Hudson Hawk : My high school science teacher?

  George Kaplan : [laughs]  I'm the guy who tricked you into robbing the government installation, and then had you sent to prison for it.

  Hudson Hawk : George Kaplan.

  [Hawk rushes toward him to strangle him, and is instantly surrounded by guns] 

  Hudson Hawk : Ha-ha... I'm not the type to hold a grudge, George.

• George Kaplan : My employer wants a meeting.

  Hudson Hawk : Your employer? The President?

  George Kaplan : No, somebody powerful.

  [looks over Hawk's shoulder] 

  George Kaplan : Good God! What's that?

  Hudson Hawk : [laughs]  Now, George, you don't really expect me to fall for that old trick, do you?

  George Kaplan : [chuckles]  Shucks, I guess not.

  [punches Hawk unconscious] 

• Hudson Hawk : You fuck my freedom for a lousy job?

• Hudson Hawk : Is looking like a constipated warthog a prerequisite for getting a job in the art world?

• [looking down from the roof of the auction house when escaping the guard] 

  Hudson Hawk : I can't tell you how happy I am that we covered our tracks.

• Hudson Hawk : They had the worst ketchup when I was in prison.

  [freezes, realizing his slip] 

  Anna : Prison?

  Hudson Hawk : [struggling]  ... I was the warden...?

  Anna : Wow. You were... in the joint. Doing... hard time. You know, it's funny, but that excites me. I seem to have a thing for sinners.

  Hudson Hawk : Well, I seem to have a thing for sinning.

  [to waiter] 

  Hudson Hawk : Check please.

• Hudson Hawk : Reindeer Goat Cheese Pizza?

• Hudson Hawk : Anthony Mario, Cesar Mario. I didn't know the circus was in town.

  Cesar Mario : So, Hawk, why won't you do the Auction House?

  Hudson Hawk : Call me superstitious, Cesar, but I don't like committing a crime within 24 hours of getting out of the joint.

  Cesar Mario : Come on, Hawk. It's one night;s work, you take their thingy and put it in this thingy.

  Hudson Hawk : Directions even your brother can understand.

  Antony Mario : Yeah! Directions even I can understand...

  Cesar Mario : [slaps Anthony on the shoulder]  Shut up!

  Cesar Mario : Look, Hawk, if you wanna go straight, open up a hardware store and sell spatulas, be my guest.

  Hudson Hawk : You know, if the Marios weren't the 3rd largest crime family in New York I'd say "Kiss my Ass" but considering your status I'm gonna say "Slurp my Butt."

  Tommy Five-Tone : [walks over with a bottle of wine]  Have you ladies sampled our fine house wine? I think you'll enjoy it.

  Antony Mario : Beat it Tommy, huh? No Dionsaurs allowed.

  Tommy Five-Tone : [smashes the bottle over Anthony's head]  Here!

  Cesar Mario : [holds back his men from going after Tommy and Hawk]  Stop! Let's go.

• Snickers : Guys, we got some good news and some bad news.

  Almond Joy : The good news is, you'll be completely un-paralyzed in about two minutes.

  Snickers : The bad news is, that only leaves you five seconds to defuse the bombs.

  Hudson Hawk , Tommy Five-Tone : "Bombs"?

  [Snickers fires a time bomb at the wall, it starts counting down from 2:05. He and Almond Joy laugh] 

  Snickers : I'm so glad it had to end like this. I'll just shoot one in the kitchen for good measure...

• Snickers : [leaping around, desperately trying to remove the time bomb stuck to his forehead]  Get this fucking thing off my head!

  Hudson Hawk : Hey Tommy, look at Snickers.

  Tommy Five-Tone : Yeah, he's about to have a bad migraine.

  [the timer runs out. Nothing happens] 

  Snickers : Maybe it was a dud.

  [the bomb beeps, and Hawk and Tommy jump out the window just as it explodes, taking Snickers and Almong Joy with it] 

• Hudson Hawk : But seriously folks, Concorde me back home, put me in jail, I don't care.

  Minerva Mayflower : You go back to jail and you won't be alone. You'll have a guinea barkeep cellmate to keep you company. You're still young enough to enjoy shanking child molesters for a pack of smokes. But Tommy Five - Tone... will go in knowing the next time he gets out... will be to attend his own funeral. Depressing?

• Hudson Hawk : You know, every time I get around you, my heart starts beating really fast.

• Hudson Hawk : Does everybody in the whole world know more than me?

• Anna : [after the machine malfunctions and kills the Mayflowers, Hawk and Anna are confronted by Alfred, the Mayflowers' butler]  Your turn.

  Hudson Hawk : My turn? How did it get to be my turn? I just killed Darwin and Minerva!

  Anna : [Alfred draws a blade]  Definitely your turn.

  Hudson Hawk : Shit. All right, just stay over here and try to stay out of the way, all right?

  Anna : Hudson.

  Hudson Hawk : What?

  [the two share a brief kiss before Hudson fights Alfred]
