Quotes12

  • Margie Flynn: Francis, tell me the most amazing thing you've ever heard.
  • Francis Doyle: [pause] There's this fish that lives at the bottom of the ocean and it has a spine sticking out of its head to lure prey. The females are the glowing ones and the males are smaller. After the male fish hatch, they bite onto a female, like parasites. But after a while they grow into each other and share the same blood and everything... They turn into one single fish.
  • Margie Flynn: Wow... that's really weird.
  • Tim: I burned all the skin off my hands. I can barely curl my fingers now.
  • Francis Doyle: There goes your sex life.
  • Tim: Alright, seems like the perfect spot for deciding what you really want in life.
  • Francis Doyle: My own comic book bigger than anything that Marvel or DC has.
  • Tim: No, I'm talking about what you really want right now, like revenge on the one legged bitch in black and white!
  • Francis Doyle: [yells] Margie Flynn!
  • Tim: Shit. I knew it, Margie Flynn.
  • Margie Flynn: I used to let Donny do... things to me.

  • Francis Doyle: Wait, Donny who?
  • [pause]
  • Francis Doyle: Donnie, your brother?
  • Mrs. Doyle: [Francis is drawing a girl, remarkably resembling Margie] Girlfriend?
  • Francis Doyle: I don't have a girlfriend.
  • Mrs. Doyle: From the body, I'd guess Farrah Fawcett-Majors. From the face, I'd say that Flynn girl.
  • [first lines]
  • Francis Doyle: Tell me again why we're doing this.
  • Tim: Homework, Francis. Your future's built on it.
  • Francis Doyle: [whispered] Right.
  • [last lines]
  • Francis Doyle: [reading from William Blake's The Tygre] Tyger Tyger, burning bright, / In the forests of the night; / What immortal hand or eye, / Could frame thy fearful symmetry? / In what distant deeps or skies. / Burnt the fire of thine eyes? / On what wings dare he aspire? / What the hand, dare seize the fire? / And what shoulder, & what art, / Could twist the sinews of thy heart? / When the stars threw down their spears / And water'd heaven with their tears: / Did he smile his work to see? / Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
