Fletch (1985)
Fletch: Oh, you've remodeled the garage. Must have cost
you hundreds.
[During a proctological exam.] Fletch: Using the whole fist,
Doc?
Fletch: I'm John. Gail Stanwyk: Ohhhh, John. John who? Fletch:
John Cock...tos...ton. Gail Stanwyk: Thats a beautiful name.
Fletch: It's Scotch/Romanian. Gail Stanwyk: That's an odd
combination. Fletch: So were my parents.
[To a Doberman pinscher] Fletch: Look, defenseless babies!
Madeline: I'm sorry, who are you again? Fletch: I'm Frieda's
boss. Madeline: Who's Frieda? Fletch: My secretary.
Alan Stanwyck: If you reject the proposition, you keep the
thousand - and your mouth shut. Fletch: Does this proposition
entail my dressing up as Little Bo Peep? Alan Stanwyck:
It's nothing of a sexual nature, I assure you. Fletch: Yeah,
I assure you. Alan Stanwyck: One thousand just to listen.
I don't see how you can pass that up, Mister...? Fletch:
Nugent. Ted Nugent.
[Driving away from police in car with startled teenager.]
Kid: Are you a cop? Fletch: As far as you know. Why? Did
you steal this car? Kid: I sure did. Fletch: Well, I'm not
even sure that's a crime anymore. There've been a lot of
changes in the law.
Receptionist: Can I help you Dr.--? Fletch: Oh it's me,
Dr. Rosenpenis. I'm just here to check out Alan Stanwyk's
file. Receptionist: Dr. who? Fletch: Dr. Rosenrosen, i'm
here to get into the records room. Receptionist: What was
that name again? Fletch: It's Dr. Rosen, I want to check
the records room. Receptionist: Dr. who? Fletch: Dr. Rosen!
Where's the records room?
Fletch: Do you have caviar? Waiter: Si señor, Beluga, but
it is 100 dollars a portion. Fletch: Oh, then I better just
take two of those.
Fletch: I didn't want to do this, but I'm afraid I'm gonna
have to pull rank on you. I'm with the Mattress Police.
There are no tags on these mattresses.
Waiter: Would you like to order something, sir. I will put
it on the Underhills' bill. Fletch: Oh, yes. Very well.
I'll have a Bloody Mary, a steak sandwich and a... steak
sandwich.
Doc: That's an interesting name, Mr...? Fletch: Babar. Doc:
Is that with one B or two? Fletch: One. B-A-B-A-R. Doc:
That's two. Fletch: Yeah, but not right next to each other,
that's what I thought you meant. Doc: Isn't there a children's
book about an elephant named Babar. Fletch: Ha, ha, ha.
I wouldn't know. I don't have any. Doc: No children? Fletch:
No elephant books.
Fletch: It was something you wife said while we were in
bed together. She said we had the same build. From the waist
up I imagine.
Gail Stanwyck: You ordered luch to my room. Fletch: Well,
I knew that's where my mouth would be.
Fletch: Where am I? Records Nurse: You're in the records
room. Fletch: Oh. Do you have the Beatles White Album? Never
mind, just bring me a cup of hot fat. And the head of Alfredo
Garcia.
Fletch: There has been a lot of drug smuggling on the beach
lately. I have been trying to find out who's behind it,
it hasn't been easy ... I don't shower much.
Fat Sam: I've got some reds. Fletch: You don't mean communists
do you Sammy?
Fletch: Did you steal this car? Teenager: I sure did! Fletch:
Well, I'm not sure that's even a crime anymore, there've
been a lot of changes in the law.
Fletch: You know, if you shoot me, you're liable to lose
a lot of those humanitarian awards.
Fletch: ...and who would have known that the Vice President
knew I was opening the door, but the Secret Service, they
just *whack* [mimes door hitting him in the face] , blood...
Waiter: Excuse me sir, you are with the club? Fletch: No,
I'm here with the Underhills. Waiter: The Underhills? They
already left Seor. Fletch: Oh they'll be back. Ted went
out for his urinalysis.
Alan Stanwyck: You do own rubber gloves? Fletch: I rent
'em. I have a lease with an option to buy.
Fletch: For another grand, I'll let you take me out to dinner.
Pathologist: Ever seen a spleen that large? Fletch: No,
not since breakfast.
[To Gail Stanwyck, who answers the door wearing a towel.]
Fletch: Can I borrow your towel? My car just hit a water
buffalo.
Fletch: This little proposition doesn't entail me dressing
as Little Bo-Peep, does it?
Fletch: I would have been here sooner, but a manure-spreader
jacknifed on the Santa Ana. You should see my shoes.
[Fletch is being interrogated by Chief Karlin and is giving
him attitude] Chief Karlin: What's your name? Fletch: Fletch.
Chief Karlin: What's your full name? Fletch: Fletch F. Fletch.
Chief Karlin: What do you do for a living, Mr. Fletch? Fletch:
I'm a shepherd. Chief Karlin: Why are you doing this, Mr.
Fletch? Fletch: I like men. I like to be manhandled. I like
you.
[Fletch is being framed for drug possession by two very
large cops] Fletch: Aren't you gonna read me my rights?
Cop: You have the right to remain silent. You have the right
to have your face kicked in by me. You have the right to
have your balls stomped on by him. Fletch: I think I'll
waive my rights.
Chief Karlin: [to the arresting officers] Why don't you
two leave us alone? Fletch: Yeah, go down to the gym and
pump each other.
Gail Stanwyck: Look at her would you look at her. She looks
like a hooker. Could you love someone who looked like that?
Fletch: What are you talking about? Of course not! Five,
ten minutes tops, maybe.
Stanton Boyd: What kind of a name is Poon? Fletch: Comanche
Indian.
[After paying his ex-wife's attorney, Fletch walks him to
the door.] Fletch: Keep ten for yourself. Go and get yourself
a nice piece of ass.
[After Fletch gets kicked in the crotch] Gummy: Fletch!
Are you all right?! Fletch: Oh, yeah. I feel like a hundred
dollars.
