Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie in Barbie (2023)

Quotes

Barbie

Edit
  • Ken: To be honest, when I found out the patriarchy wasn't just about horses, I lost interest.
  • Barbie: [in tears] I'm not pretty anymore!
  • Gloria: What? You're so pretty!
  • Barbie: I'm not stereotypical Barbie pretty!
  • Narrator: Note to the filmmakers: Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you want to make this point.
  • Allan: Allans have been in the real word before, no one's noticed! NSYNC? They're all Allans! Even that one!
  • Ruth: Humans have only one ending. Ideas live for ever.
  • Barbie: Mr. Mattel...
  • Mattel CEO: Please call me mother.
  • Barbie: No, thank you.
  • Barbie: [in awe] You're so beautiful.
  • The Woman on the Bench: [confidently] I know it!
  • Ken: I thought I might stay over tonight.
  • Barbie: Why?
  • Ken: Because we're girfriend and boyfriend.
  • Barbie: To do what?
  • [pause]
  • Ken: I'm actually not sure.
  • Ken: I'm just Ken and I'm enough / And I'm great at doing stuff.
  • Gloria: It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong. You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass. You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean. You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas. You're supposed to love being a mother but don't talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman, but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining. You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood. But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged. So find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It's too hard! It's too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault. I'm just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing women, then I don't even know.
  • Barbie: Come in to my Weird House! Hi, I'm Weird Barbie, I am in the splits, I have a funky haircut and I smell like basement.
  • Ruth: I was arrested for tax evasion, but that's another movie.
  • Aaron Dinkins: I'm a man with no power, does that make me a woman?
  • Ken: Is it just me or did these mojo dojo casa houses just get a whole lot dreamier?
  • Barbie: That's because they're Dreamhouses, motherf-
  • [last syllable is bleeped out and mouth is covered by the Mattel logo]
  • Barbie: I do not have a vagina and he does not have a penis. We have no genitals.
  • Ken: I have *all* the genitals!
  • Ken: I'll play the guitar at you.
  • Ken: Does the label "long-term long-distance low-commitment casual girlfriend" mean nothing to her?
  • Ken: Yeah, because actually, my job... it's just beach.
  • Barbie: And what a great job you do at beach!
  • Mattel CEO: [upon seeing Midge, who is pregnant] I thought we discontinued her.
  • Allan: Hi, Barbie!
  • Barbie: Oh, hi, Allan!

  • [through tears]
  • Barbie: I don't control the railways or the flow of commerce...
  • [cries]
  • Barbie: [to the other Barbies at the party] Do you guys ever think about dying?
  • Ruth: We mothers stand still so our daughters can look back and see how far they've come
  • Narrator: Barbie has a great day every day. Ken only has a great day if Barbie looks at him.
  • [as Barbie leaves Barbie Land, she finds Ken in her car]
  • Barbie: What are you doing here?
  • Ken: I'm coming with you!
  • Barbie: Did you bring your rollerblades?
  • Ken: [holds up his blades] I literally go nowhere without them!
  • Barbie: Oh! I would never wear heels if my feet were shaped this way!
  • Doctor: No, I won't let you do just one appendectomy.
  • Ken: But I'm a man.
  • Doctor: But not a doctor.
  • Ken: Can I talk to a doctor?
  • Doctor: You are talking to a doctor.
  • Ken: I need a clicky pen.
  • Doctor: No.
  • Ken: A sharpy thing?

  • Ken: [as he walks toward a male doctor] There he is.
  • Doctor: Somebody get security.
  • Gloria: [showing her drawings] This is Irrepressible-Thoughts-of-Death Barbie... this is Cellulite-All-Over-The-Body Barbie
  • [flipping over the page of her sketchbook]
  • Gloria: ... and this is Crippling-Shame Barbie...
  • Mattel CEO: I am the son of a mother, and the nephew of a female aunt. Some of my best friends... are Jewish!
  • Ken: I just don't know who I am without you.
  • Barbie: You're Ken.
  • Ken: But it's Barbie and Ken. There's no just Ken. That's why I was created. I only exist within the warmth of your gaze. Without it, I'm just a little blond guy who can't do flips.

  • Barbie: I've never seen 'The Godfather'...

  • [last lines]
  • Barbie: Hi.
  • Doctor Receptionist: Name?
  • Barbie: Oh, um... Handler, Barbara.
  • Doctor Receptionist: And what are you here for today, Barbara?
  • Barbie: I'm here to see my gynecologist!
  • Ken: You guys aren't doing patriarchy very well.
  • Corporate Man: We're actually doing patriarchy very well
  • [lowers voice]
  • Corporate Man: ... we're just better at hiding it.
  • Ken: [Puts on a pair of sunglasses] Every night is boy's night.
  • [Puts on a second pair of sunglasses]
  • Sasha: Men hate women and women hate women. It's the one thing we can all agree on.
  • Sasha: Hell yeah, White Saviour Barbie!
  • Ken: [singing] I'm just Ken, anywhere else I'd be a ten! Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility?
  • Barbie: [screaming] FLAT FEET!
  • Narrator: [from trailer] Since the beginning of time, since the first little girl ever existed, there have been dolls. But the dolls were always and forever baby dolls, until...
  • [a large figurine is seen by the young, primitive-like girls; she is revealed to be Barbie in her iconic, one-piece, black-and-white swimsuit]
  • Gloria: You don't have your license.
  • Sasha: This car has no engine!

  • Barbie: I don't know.
  • Ken: Do you want to be my bride wife, or my long term long distance low commitment casual girlfriend?
