The Cooler

[Natalie sees herself in the rear-view mirror]

Natalie:
Oh my God.

Bernie:
Hey. You look in the mirror, you don't like what you see, don't believe it. Look in my eyes, I am the only mirror you're ever gonna need. You look in my eyes, Natalie.

Natalie:
I thought shit like that only happened in the movies.

Shelly Kaplow:
Jesus, Bernie, is that what you think? That I would f*** with your happiness? That hurts me.

[beating up Larry in the bathroom]

Shelly Kaplow:
Now listen to me, you little Harvard turd. Lootz is all right, so he's walking out of here with everything he's got coming to him. If you so much as touch one f***ing hair on his f***ing head, I'm gonna f***ing wallpaper this f***ing bathroom with your f***ing ass, do you understand me? Muted tones, isn't that what you said, huh? Huh? I can't hear you. Wait, wait a minute. There it is. Blended in, at a subsonic level, like some kind of mantra: "Pain, pain, pain."

[breaks Larry's wrist]

Shelly:
I can make you disappear like *that*! And not one f***ing person would miss you! Not one f***ing person!

Natalie:
Bernie would! He loves me. He loves me, and that kills you, doesn't it, Shelly?

Shelly:
Lootz is kryptonite on a stick.

Bernie:
Better luck next time.

Shelly Kaplow:
[about the Vegas strip] What? You mean that Disneyland mookfest out there? Huh? Come on, you know what that is? Huh? That's a f***ing violation is what that is. Something that used to be beautiful, used to have class, like a gorgeous high-priced hooker with an exclusive clientele. Then along comes that Steve Wynn cocksucker and knocks her up and puts her in a f***ing family way. Now she's nothing but a cheap, fat whore hiding behind too much f***ing make-up. I look at her and see all her f***ing stretch marks, it makes me want to cry - because I remember the way she used to be.

Larry Sokolov:
Don't get me wrong. Nostalgia is great. We love nostalgia. But nostalgia belongs in a museum. I think there comes a time to decide whether you're running a museum or you're running a casino.

Shelly Kaplow:
Jesus Christ, that's such a f***ing touching speech, Bernie! All that Jimmy Stewart bullshit? I've got such a lump in my throat I can't tell you.

[first lines]

Casino employee:
Where's Bernie, they're killing us. Yeah, we need him right away.

[last lines]

Larry Sokolov:
Gentlemen, I want to thank you for your vote of confidence. As the new director of casino operations I want to make a personal guarantee to each and every one of you that your investment in the Golden Shangri-La will be well looked after. The future looks very bright, gentlemen. Very, very bright.
