Mr. Deeds
[edit]- Ma'am, you were just the victim of a New York City mugger. As I suspected, he was a coward and a weakling, and also wore more cologne than any man should wear.
Dialogue
[edit]- Deeds: You climbed mountains and built skyscrapers.
- You made TV shows and put out newspapers.
- You were wicked good at doing stocks.
- You liked it when Emilio would change your socks.
- We never hung out and that makes me sad.
- All the good times we could've had.
- But when I die, Uncle Preston, you better say "Cheers".
- Cause when me and you are hanging at the pearly gates, I'll bring the beers. I'll bring the beers.
- Reverend Sharpton: Nice rhyme, nice rhyme.
- [Deeds talks to the pilots]
- Deeds: You guys football fans? I think the Pats could take the conference this year. I mean, the Dolphins are overrated and the Jets are choke artists.
- Pilot: I wouldn't say that, Mr. Deeds.
- Deeds: Just Deeds. Why's that, though?
- Pilot: You own the Jets, Deeds.
- Deeds: I do?! Whoa! That sucks. Jeez. I hope they don't play the Pats in the playoffs, or I'll have to kill myself.
- Emilio: How can I thank you?
- Deeds: All I want is your friendship, Emilio. You're a good man.
- Emilio: Deeds! How about a billion dollars?
- Deeds: All right.
- Emilio: Done.
- Deeds: Whoa, you kinda snuck up on me there...
- Emilio: I am very very sneaky, sir.
- [Deeds shows Emilio his frostbitten foot]
- Emilio: The hideousness of that foot will haunt my dreams forever.
- Deeds: Oh, yeah. I've heard that before.
- [Cecil raises his hand after Cedar asks if anyone knows a doctor that just faxed them]
- Cedar: Congratulations, you have a spastic colon.
- Cecil: That would explain a lot.
- Deeds: What are you in for?
- Crazy Eyes: Eh, I'm doin' an overnighter for bitin' the mailman.
- [waves his hand]
- Crazy Eyes: He was tryin' to cast some spell on me like a wizard or somethin'.
- Deeds: You sure about that?
- Crazy Eyes: I don't know, maybe he was just wavin'.
- [waves hand then sees Chuck and Cecil]
- Crazy Eyes: Who're your friends?
- Deeds: This is Chuck and Cecil, they're visiting from New York.
- Crazy Eyes: I don't like 'em.
- Deeds: Okay, then.
- Deeds: Crazy Eyes.
- Crazy Eyes: Hey, Deeds.
- Deeds: How you doin', pal? I got your pizza for you, just the way you like it.
- Crazy Eyes: Oh, yes. French Fries and Oreos, you know me all too well, Deeds.
- McEnroe: I like the way you beat up those guys who were making fun of you. It was pretty cool.
- Deeds: Yeah I bet you know what it's like to get all riled up, Johnny Mac.
- McEnroe: That I do.
- Consuela: Want me to wipe the leaves on your ficus tree, Mr. Blake?
- Blake: You can call me Preston.
- Consuela: Want me to wipe the leaves on your ficus tree, Preston?
- Blake: Yes. Yes! YES!
- [they embrace wildly]
- [in Coretta's burning apartment]
- Coretta: I'm not leaving without me kitties.
- Deeds: How many cats do you have?
- Coretta: 7.
- Deeds: Holy shit. Lets get cracking. I apologize for the language.
- Coretta: Apology accepted.
- Murph: Hey, look, Deedsy is hanging out with McEnroe!
- Crazy Eyes: I love The Beach Boys.
- Babe: Oh, you have got to be shittin' me.
- Deeds: Whoa... that's the first time I've heard you curse.
- Babe: I'm that excited.
- Babe: And this is my brother Denny's room,
- [opens a closet door]
- Babe: They didn't like my brother very much.
- Rev. Sharpton: Now Brother Preston is soaring with eagles high above,
- because he lived a life of love.
- Yes, he's flying way up high,
- because he was a supercool guy.
- He's gone away too soon, it seems,
- leaving behind his unfinished dreams.
- Deeds: [impressed] This guy could make a fortune writing greeting cards.
- Rev. Sharpton: Yes, we remember Preston Blake.
- A man with faith no man could shake.
- A strength no man could break.
- A character no man could fake.
- For goodness sake, let's eat some cake.
- Funeral attendants: Amen.
- Deeds: Amen!
- Deeds: So how is the elevator business treating you, Reuben?
- Reuben: Oh, it has its ups and downs.
- [both laugh]
- [Babe is fighting against Jan, and Babe just kicked her in the crotch several times]
- Jan: Where were you kickin'? I ain't got no balls, dummy!
- [last lines]
- Crazy Eyes: [drives his new Corvette] Damn, these things are fast!
- [he floors it and crashes into a tree]
- Crazy Eyes: I'm okay! [laughs] I'm okay!
- Babe: [reads the card Deeds wrote for her] Hard to breathe, feels like floating.
- So full of love, my heart's exploding.
- Mouth is dry, hands are shaking.
- My heart is yours for the taking.
- Acting weird, not myself.
- Dancing around like the Keebler elf.
- Finally time, for this poor schlub
- to know how it feels, to fall in lub.
- Deeds: I couldn't think of anything else that rhymes with schlub. Rub and tub didn't work.
- Mac: Are you gonna see him again tonight?
- Babe: Yes. I'm calling him around 4:00. It's when I get off work. Remember, I'm Pam Dawson, virgin school nurse from Winchestertonfieldville, Iowa.
- [both laugh]
- Mac: That's priceless! You, a virgin!
- Cedar: We're looking for somebody. Longfellow Deeds.
- Murph: Wow! Is that Deeds' first name?
- Cecil: Well, if the Deeds you're referring to is Longfellow Deeds, then yes, that is Deeds's first name.
- Murph: Well, I don't know Deeds's first name. Maybe it's Greg.
- Cecil: Maybe it's Longfellow.
- Murph: Maybe. But I don't know. I know another guy named Greg. You want me to call him up?
- Cedar: No! Thank you. Please. Just tell us where Deeds lives.
- Cedar: Excuse me. Is Mr. Deeds around?
- Jan: No, I'm sorry. He's out making deliveries. The regular delivery guy called in sick. But you don't look too sick to me, Murph.
- Murph: Oh! I forgot I was fakin' sick today. [to Cedar and Cecil] You two tricked me into comin' here.
- Jan: Murph, put on an apron and gimme a hand.
- Murph: [sets to work] You guys played me like a fiddle. Touche!
- Cecil: Is Mrs. Deeds around?
- Jan: Mrs. Deeds!? I don't think that poor boy ever had a date.
