Phone Booth
Movie Quote Quiz

Stu: Nice try pal, go to hell.
The Caller: [Cocks gun] Now doesn't that just torque your jaws? I love that. You know like in the movies just as the good guy is about to kill the bad guy, he cocks his gun. Now why didn't he have it cocked? Because that sound is scary. It's cool, isn't it?
(00:22:00)

The Caller: If you have to ask, you're not ready to know yet.

The Caller: Wait till it goes national. ABC, CBS, CNN, UPN, you're gonna have the whole alphabet.

Capt. Ramey: And Jonah, don't look up.

The Caller: At least now you'll die with a clean conscience.
Stu: No, you're the one who's gonna fucking die.

Capt. Ramey: Who's your lawyer?
Kelly Shepard: We don't have a lawyer.

Stu: Where? Where are you?
The Caller: There are hundred of windows out there. Why don't you check them out?

Sergeant Cole: Captain, what the fuck is up with the phone calls, man?

The Caller: The odds are even now, Stu. Isn't that what you wanted? You know where I am and you have a gun. If you have it in you, you can take me down.
Stu: Fuck! They'll kill me before I can get a shot at you.
The Caller: Ah, you're probably right. I wasn't really there anyway. You would've just spoiled some nice lady's curtains.

The Caller: What they don't know, we do to them in our minds, isn't that right?
Stu: You sick fuck.
The Caller: Perfect violation.

Stu: So you'd just whack me for no particular reason?
The Caller: Oh, I've got plenty of reasons. And you keep giving me more.

Stu: I'm on my knees beggin' you not to kill me.

The Caller: Think about it. Why would a guy with a cell phone call a woman everyday from a phone booth?
Pamela McFadden: He said it was quiet.

Factual error: In one quick shot Stu scans the surrounding buildings looking for the sniper's location. You can see the Grace Building from his point of view. You would not be able to see this building from his location at 53rd. street. The Grace Building is at 42nd & 6th.

Question: Did the sniper actually have a laser? One of the "correctors" states that he doesn't and it's actually just for effect.

Answer: Of course he's got a laser - we see the red dot, ergo, he's got a laser. Whether this is a laser sight attached to his rifle, or just an ordinary hand-held laser pointer like a lecturer might use, we have no way to know.
