Memorable Quotes from Bulworth (1998) Bullworth: All we need is a voluntary, free-spirited, open-ended program of procreative racial deconstruction. Everybody just gotta keep fuckin' everybody 'til they're all the same color. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Angry black woman: Are you sayin' the Democratic Party don't care about the African-American community? Bullworth: Isn't that OBVIOUS? You got half your kids are out of work and the other half are in jail. Do you see ANY Democrat doing anything about it? Certainly not me! So what're you gonna do, vote Republican? Come on! Come on, you're not gonna vote Republican! Let's call a spade a spade! [Loud, angry booing] Bullworth: I mean - come on! You can have a Billion Man March! If you don't put down that malt liquor and chicken wings, and get behind someone other than a running back who stabs his wife, you're NEVER gonna get rid of somebody like me! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Mimi has just seen Bulworth badmouth a black congregation] Mimi: Fred, when you say "by the book" - WHAT book would that be? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nina: ...Yo. Bullworth: Yo. Yo, yo, yo to you. Nina: Later. Bullworth: I was, uh, hoping for sooner. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debate Producer: Just between us, Senator, do you think it's advisable to schedule campaign stops with industry leaders when you have such a low opinion of their product? Bullworth: My guys are not stupid. They always put the big Jews on my schedule. You're mostly Jews, right? Three out of four of you? [brandishes speech] Bullworth: I bet Murphy put something bad about Farrakhan in here for you! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bullworth: What is it exactly you're concerned about, Murphy? Dennis Murphy: I'm concerned that you stood up in front of three hundred people in a black church and told them that they were not a factor and never would be as long as we remain in the pocket of the insurance lobby! I'm concerned that you went to a fundraiser in Beverly Hills and told various leaders of the entertainment industry that they make a lousy product, and since many of them also happen to be Jewish, you decided the PRUDENT thing to do would be to MOCK their Jewish paranoia! I'm concerned that we are in an after-hours club in Compton on the eve of the most important event of the campaign swing, where God knows how much illegal activity is taking place and YOU are SMOKING MARIJUANA! Now, Senator - I work for you. You call the shots. But I will be able to do my job so much better if you will just simply tell me... what is this new strategy? Just tell me a little bit! [Bulworth exhales smoke into Murphy's face] Bullworth: Have a drink, Murphy. Live your life. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: Senator, do you plan to make rap a regular part of your campaign? Bullworth: A part of my campaign? Now that just sounds insane! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Darnell: I say, you ain't no real nigger, IS you? Bullworth: [stoned] Is YOU a real nigger? Darnell: You callin' me nigger, motherfucka? Don't call me a NIGGER, moth'fucka! Bullworth: Would you prefer "motherfucker," motherfucker? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Feldman and Murphy are concerned about Bulworth's rapping] Bill Feldman: You know something? We had a next-door neighbor who would lose her mind from time to time. What was weird when she got like that was this: she could only speak in song lyrics. Bullworth: Murphy, Feldman, you're lookin' pretty beat / I thought you might feel better with some ribs to eat / Eat 'em, gentlemen, you'll think they're really fine / And if you want a couple more you can get 'em anytime! Dennis Murphy: I am incredibly frightened. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- L.D.: I'm giving them entry-level positions into the only growth-sector occupation that's truly open to them right now. That's the substance supply industry. They gonna run this shit someday. They gonna have the whole empire. Man, y'all don't give a fuck about it. You greedy-ass politicians. That's what you tell me every time that y'all vote to cut them school programs; every time y'all vote to cut them funds to the job programs. What the fuck; how a... how a young man gonna take care of his financial responsibilities workin' at motherfuckin' Burger King? He ain't. He ain't, and please don't even start with the school shit. They ain't no education goin' on up in that motherfucker. 'Cause y'all motherfuckin' politicians done fucked the shit up. So what they gonna do? What's a young man supposed to do then, right? What's he gonna do? He gonna come to me, that's what he's gonna do. Why? 'Cause I'm a businessman, and as a businessman, you gotta limit your liabilities. And that's what these shorties offer me: limited liabilities; because of their limited vulnerability to legal sanctions, man. It's the same fuckin' thing in politics, Dog. You find an edge, you gotta exploit that shit. That's why y'all sent all them motherfuckin' teenagers to Iraq. Die over some motherfuckin' oil money. Send the motherfuckin' CIA up in the 'hood with all the fuckin yayos. Slangin' in the hood man. It's the same shit in politics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [after watching Bulworth lose it on TV] Mimi: Now - would we be eligible for an Emmy, or a Peabody? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mimi: Can you play back that crispy crab cakes remark again? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bullworth: Yo, everybody gonna get sick someday / But nobody knows how they gonna pay / Health care, managed care, HMOs / Ain't gonna work, no sir, not those / 'Cause the thing that's the same in every one of these / Is these motherfuckers there, the insurance companies! Cheryl and Tanya: Insurance! Insurance! Bullworth: Yeah, yeah / You can call it single-payer or Canadian way / Only socialized medicine will ever save the day! Come on now, lemme hear that dirty word - SOCIALISM! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bullworth: You know, there's a lesson here, which is never try to make life or death decisions when you're feeling suicidal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bullworth: I'm not sure you can get AIDS by burning down your house, but I get your point. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bullworth: Shit. Fuck. Cocksucker.
