Great Quotes From “The Departed”

Craig’s Movie Blog posted up a few choice quotes from The Departed (my movie of the year so far). This movie is gold… and so are these quotes.

Mark Wahlberg’s character (Dignam):

“I’m the guy doing my job. You must be the other guy.”

“Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself.”

“You may play a tough guy for your gangster friends, but you don’t get nothing past me, you lace-curtain Irish fucking pussy!”

“No, you don’t know. Because if someone like you knew what we did, that would make us cunts. Are you calling us cunts?”

Alec Baldwin’s character (Ellerby):

“I’m gonna go have a smoke right now. You want a smoke? You don’t smoke, do ya, right? What are ya, one of those fitness freaks, huh? Go fuck yourself.”

“Yes, those. I don’t know what they are. You don’t know what they are. Who gives a fuck?”

“Marriage is an important part of getting ahead. It lets people know you’re not a homo. A married guy seems more stable. People see the ring, they think ‘at least somebody can stand the son of a bitch.’ Ladies see the ring, they know immediately that you must have some cash, and your cock must work.”

Together:

“Go fuck yourself.”
“I’m tired from fucking your wife.”
“How is your mother?”
“Good. She’s tired from fucking my father.”

  1. “Can anyone remember the quote from Leonardo’s character when he was in the Pyciatrist’s office about what Freud said about the irish and psychiatry – something about why they cannot be analyzed”

    it was damon and the psychiatrist out to dinner
    “what freud said about the irish was, ‘they were the only ones impervious to psycho analysis.'”

    I also loved “You grew up, however, up the Northshore.
    You were kind of a double kid, I bet, right? One kid with your old man. One kid with your mother. Upper middle class in the week, and then dropping your ‘r’s and hanging in the Southie projects with daddy the donkey on the weekends.”
