BLOW -- QUOTES
George: It was the greatest feeling I ever had. Followed abruptly by the worst feeling I ever had.
[last lines]
George: So in the end, was it worth it? Jesus Christ. How irreparably changed my
life has become. It's always the last day of summer and I've been left out in
the cold with no door to get back in. I'll grant you I've had more than my share
of poignant moments. Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans
for it. Throughout my lifetime, I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And
now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that
my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty
ladies at my door.
George: Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it.
Fred Jung: Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again, but life goes on.
Ermine Jung: You think people don't know you're a drug dealer. Everyone knows, its no secret. Every time I go out I'm humiliated. So you go to jail. It's for your own good. You need to straighten your life out. What are you looking at Mrs. Gracie, your son's no prize.
Mirtha Jung: We are broke, that is my fucking problem
and you are a fucking spy. That's right. Always spyin', always judgin'.
Everyone's laughing in your face, you fucking pussy. You let Diego fuck you in
the ass. Maybe because you like it, maybe because you're a fucking faggot.
That's what I think you are. I think you are really fuckin' him cause you're not
fucking me. Why's that? Why? Why don't you fuck me anymore? Don't you ever touch
me again, motherfucker! Don't ever put your hands on me again, asshole! Get your
hands off me.
[Mirtha is carried out of the car by police]
Mirtha Jung: He's a fugitive and a fucking cocaine dealer! He's got a
kilo in his trunk right now!
Mirtha Jung: I'm divorcin' you George. I am getting custody of Kristina.
And when you get out next week, you're gonna pay support and that's the end of
it. There is someone else. I did not think you would want to know but I wanted
to tell you. Say something.
George: What do you want me to say? I'm in prison. You should know you're
the one who put me in here.
Mirtha Jung: I knew you would say something like that. Always thinkin'
about yourself.
George: May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face.
Fred Jung: And may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the
stars.
Fred Jung: Cheers, Georgie.
George: Cheers, pop.
George: Hello Dad. You know I remember a lifetime ago, when I was about 3 1/2 feet tall, weighing all of 60 pounds, but every inch your son. I remember those Saturday mornings going to work with my dad, we'd climb into that big green truck. I thought that truck... was the biggest truck in the universe pop. I remember how important the job we did was, how if it wasn't for us, people would freeze to death. I thought you were the strongest man in the world. And remember those home videos when mom would dress up like Loretta Young, barbeques and football games, ice cream, playing with the Tuna. And when I left for California only to come home with the FBI chasing me, and that FBI agent Trout had to kneel down to put my boots on and you said, "That's where you belong you son of a bitch, puttin on Georgie's boots." That was a good one pop, you remember that. And remember that time when you told me that money wasn't real. Well old man, I'm 42 years old, and I finally realize what you were trying to tell me, so many years ago. I finally understand. Your the best, pop, just wish I could have done more for you, wish we had more time. Anyway, may the wind always be at your back, and the sun always upon your face, and may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars. I love you Dad. Love George.
George: So, what'd I tell ya, Derek?
Derek: It's great, but what am I supposed to do with it?
George: Sell it.
Derek: Jesus Christ, George, I don't see you for two years and you show
up on my doorstep with 110 pounds of blow.
George: Just fucking sell it, Derek.
Derek: Okay, but it's going to take me a year.
[scene shift to interior Derek's bar surrounded by stacks of cash]
Derek: 36 hours, 36 hours, I can't believe we got rid of it in 36 hours.
George: I think it's fair to say you underestimated the market, Derek.
Derek: Right on. It's going to take us longer to count it than it did to
sell it.
George: The official toxicity limit for humans is between one and one and half grams of cocaine depending on body weight. I was averaging five grams a day, maybe more. I snorted ten grams in ten minutes once. I guess I had a high tolerance.
George: I was busted. Set up by the FBI and the DEA. That didn't bother me. Set up by Kevin Dulli and Derek Forreal to save their own asses. That didn't bother me. Sentenced to 60 years at Ottisville. That didn't bother me. I'd broken a promise. Everything I love in my life goes away.
Fred Jung: Money isn't real, George. It doesn't matter. It only seems
like it does.
Young George: Are you gonna tell Mom that?
Fred Jung: Yeah, that's gonna be a tricky one.
Diego Delgado: How much time do you have?
George: Oh, let's see. Twenty-six months.
Diego Delgado: Twenty-six months? For murder? I must meet your lawyer.
George: Danbury wasn't a prison, it was a crime school. I went in with a Bachelor of marijuana, came out with a Doctorate of cocaine.
Cesar Toban: Do you have pictures of your kids?
Jack Stevens: What?
Cesar Toban: I need to see them. I'll also need their names and the names
of their schools. We are trusting you with millions of dollars of coke, Mr.
Stevens. Without your children, there is no deal.
Diego Delgado: I need a favor from you.
George: [voice over] The favor was to pick up fifty kilos of
cocaine. Fifty. That's a hundred and ten pounds. Not exactly a small favor. Not
like bumming a cigarette, for example. But what the hell. I didn't have anything
better to do that day. It's not like I was on parole or anything.
Pablo Escobar: Our business here today is cocaine, yes?
George: Si. Yes it is.
Pablo Escobar: I need to find an Americano who I can trust. One with
honor, intelligence...
George: You need an Americano with balls, Senior Escobar.
Pablo Escobar: Yes, and balls, Mr. George.
Judge: George Jung, you stand accused of possession of six hundred and
sixty pounds of marijuana with intent to distribute. How do you plead?
George: Your honor, I'd like to say a few words to the court if I may.
Judge: Well, you're gonna have to stop slouching and stand up to address
this court, sir.
George: [stands] Alright. Well, in all honesty, I don't feel that
what I've done is a crime. And I think it's illogical and irresponsible for you
to sentence me to prison. Because, when you think about it, what did I really
do? I crossed an imaginary line with a bunch of plants. I mean, you say I'm an
outlaw, you say I'm a thief, but where's the Christmas dinner for the people on
relief? Huh? You say you're looking for someone who's never weak but always
strong, to gather flowers constantly whether you are right or wrong, someone to
open each and every door, but it ain't me, babe, huh? No, no, no, it ain't me,
babe. It ain't me you're looking for, babe. You follow?
Judge: Yeah... Gosh, you know, your concepts are really interesting,
Mister Jung.
George: Thank you.
Judge: Unfortunately for you, the line you crossed was real and the
plants you brought with you were illegal, so your bail is twenty thousand
dollars.
Prisoner in class: Jive ass turkey.
Diego Delgado: Do you have a dream, George?
George: Well, I would if I could get some fucking sleep.
Mr. T: I can't feel my face... I mean, I can touch it, but I can't feel it inside...
George: This is Grade A 100% pure Colombian cocaine, ladies and gentlemen... Disco shit... Pure as the driven snow.
George: [to a friend after a major betrayal] Hey, am I wearing lipstick? I said, am I wearing lipstick? When I'm getting fucked I want to make sure my face looks pretty.
George: I'm really great at what I do, Dad. I mean I'm really great at
what I do.
Fred Jung: Let me tell you something, George: you'd have been great at
anything.
George: 15 kilos of cocaine? That's nothing. I piss 15 kilos.
Tuna: I can't believe we're stealin' a plane...
Kevin Dulli: Don't be such a pussy.
George: Everything's gonna be okay, sweetheart. Don't be upset.
Young Kristina Jung: What's happening to us?
George: I don't know.
Young Kristina Jung: Are we gonna split up?
George: No, never. Don't even think about that, it's impossible. I love
your mother and you are my heart. Could I live without my heart? Could I?
Young Kristina Jung: I thought you couldn't live without your heart.
[She drops the phone, walks away and doesn't look back]
Fred Jung: That was a beautiful message.
George: I meant every word of it.
Fred Jung: Did you know I died two weeks after you sent me that tape?
[the apparition of Fred disappears and George is left alone once again]
George: Yeah, Dad. I knew that.
George: That's a nice boy. Go get 'em, Dulli.
Title card: George Jung is sentenced to Otisville Federal Correctional Institution until 2015. Kristina Sunshine Jung has not yet visited her father.
George: I'm the only man who gets busted by waiters.
