Quote context

- That's a sad final word, Don.

- Look at it this way, Helen. This business is just a formality. Don Birnam is dead already. He died over this weekend.

- What did he die of?

- Of a lot of things. Of alcohol, of moral anemia, of fear, of shame, D.T.'s.

- Oh, that Don Birnam. And now you want to kill the other one.

- There were two Dons. You told me so yourself. Don the drunk and Don the writer.

- Let's not go back to a fancy figure of speech. There's only one Don, he's through.

- I'm all right, I still have enough strength left...

- I know you have. I can see it. Don't waste it on pulling a trigger, Don.

- No, let me get it over with or do you want me to give you another one of my promises that I never keep?

Top rated lines from this movie

You know the circle is the perfect geometric figure. No end, no beginning...

Two bottles of rye. -What brand? -You know what brand, Mr. Brophy. The cheapest. None of that twelve year old, aged-in-the-wood chichi. Not for me. Liquor is all one, anyway.

Or it maybe Sunday. That's the worst. No liquor stores at all. And you guys wouldn't open a bar, not until one o'clock. Why? Why, Nat? -Because we gotta go to church once in a while. That's why. -Yeah, when a guy needs it most.

See that guy over there? With him it's beetles. Come the night, he sees beetles crawling all over him. Has to be dark, though.

Come on. I need that liquor, I want it, I'm going to get it, understand. I'm going to walk out of here with that quart of rye, one way or another.
