Charlotte: I just don't know what I'm supposed to be. Bob: You'll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.
Leo O'Bannion: I figure I can still trade body-blows with any man in this town. [Tom looks at him] Leo O'Bannion: Except you Tom. Tom Reagan: And Verna.
Samir: Is there some way to just give the money back? Peter Gibbons: What? You mean just hand them a check for the exact amount they're missing? I think they'd figure that out.
Bill Cox: [lawnmower won't start] Karl, see if you can figure out what's wrong with this. It won't crank up and everything seems to be put together right. Karl: It ain't got no gas in it.
[first lines] Evan: Yo. Seth: Hey, man, I was doing some research for next year and I think I figured out which website I wanna subscribe to. The Vag-Tastic Voyage.
Verbal: What the cops never figured out, and what I know now, was that these men would never break, never lie down, never bend over for anybody. Anybody.
[first lines] Paddy Conlon: [arriving home] Tommy? Jesus! What are you doing here? Tom Conlon: I was just passing through. I figured why not have a belt with the old man.

Bonnie and Clyde grew up in absolute poverty. They didn't go to school or have any money; the only way they could figure out how to get ahead was to steal. The banks were foreclosing on everyone's homes. I think a lot of people will be able to relate...

I'm not a fan of simulations. Where, 'Oh, we'll go play a simulation of world peace and figure out how to make peace' and then somehow magically that will get translated into the real world. No, that's not the kind of games that I make.
