Vince quotes from Entourage

Turtle

Wait 'til you see dinner. I got ten of the best strippers in town joining us tonight.

Drama

Strippers -- why?

Turtle

Now shouldn't it be "Strippers -- how?" and "Thank you"?

Thank you.

I don't get it, all these people are in line for sneakers?

Turtle

Yeah, some have even camped out all night.

For sneakers?

Turtle

Vince, these ain't just sneakers. These are limited-edition Fukijamas.

[surprised] Fuki-what?

Turtle

Ha...Vince, you know sometimes, you're so cultureless? Fukijama is one of the most famous graffiti artists in the world. Every year, Nike commissions him to do a limited drop; 200 pairs this year. After that, he destroys the pattern and never to be made again.

They're holding a pair for you?

Turtle

Nah, they refuse to do so. It's an unwritten law in America - bring a movie star, go right to the front of the line.

Turtle, are you nuts? They'll kill us if we go to the front of the line.

Turtle

They'll be thrilled just to get a glimpse of you.

I'm not cutting, Turtle.

[clenches fist] Better to be a man of the people, Aquaman.

Turtle

Vince, these are limited-

Back of the line, Turtle. You're lucky I'm even willing to wait.

Ari

Vince, what are you doing?

Ari, I didn't need the whole dog-and-pony show. I really thought you were different from everyone else.

Ari

Vince, I am.

Ari, you do things your own way and you don't give a shit what we think about it.

Ari

I do give a shit. You should have seen me today begging and pleading to get that movie back, but it's gone. The past is the past, let's look to the future.

You're unreal. I mean, even after you fuck up like this, you can't even muster the strength to just, as my friend, look me in the face and say "I'm sorry."

Ari

That's all you wanted?

That's all I wanted.

Ari

Then I'm sorry, Vin.

It's too late.

Ari

Vince...

Ari, you're fired.

[to Turtle and Drama] Let's roll.

Hey Joe.

Vince?

Yeah.

I was a PA on Apocalypse Now. I watched Francis almost kill himself to get that movie made. I watched him go bankrupt, watched him go mad nearly, and I idolized him for it. I never had the passion. For me it was always about the score. You seem to have that passion, Vince, but if you really don't have it and can lose it too, don't kill yourself. At the end of the day, it's only a movie. Good luck, Vince.

Apologies for calling your partner Vincent, I somehow took your number down incorrectly.

No worries, I never answer my phone anyway.

We want to make this movie.

Fantastic.

Mamm, does it excite you?

Yes it does, so much so [to E] They're in.

I just have one small concern - creatively. I'd like to meet you at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in one hour and we'll discuss. Is this okay?

Sure.

Oh, and one more thing, Vincent.

Yes, Nika?

Come alone. Ciao.

[notices others just getting in their vehicles] Hey guys! The house - get over here. Say goodbye.

Goodbye, house.

Billy Walsh

VINNY!!!

Yo.

Billy

Vincent!

Talk to me, what?

Billy

Pablo Escobar? Pablo fucking Escobar!?!? [goes up staircase] I've always wanted to make a movie about this guy since I read a story about him blowing up that airliner. I love Pablo Escobar.

So you like the script?

Billy

What, was I not just fucking clear?

Can you do it for 25 million?

Billy

I don't see why not. I need to talk to the financier.

No problem.

Billy

I love it, Vince. Thank you. We're gonna win you an Oscar.

Billy Walsh

Cut! [walks to E] Start off, suit, I need another one. [E is flabbergasted] Ahh, I'm fucking with you, it was perfect! [crew cheers]

[surveying aftermath] Guys, we did it.

Yeah, who would've thought that two kids from Queens could have pulled this off, but we did, it's gonna be fucking amazing.

You know, I've never felt so good about a movie after making this one. I know it.

Billy, think you've made a good film?

Walsh

[looks to narrator] Hey, it's gonna be a genius or its gonna fucking suck. 'Til I see the first cut, I have no idea, but you know what? Neither does anybody else.[walks away. Vince, E, and Turtle wonder about what he just said.]

Yo, Vin.

Hey! [clasps hands]

This is delicate.

What's that?

You know your boy you came in with? [referring to Beverly Hills mayor]

Yeah, what about him?

He's about to suck face with a tranny.

What? Come on!

Drama

That's no tranny, that's Annika!

Annika's got a bigger stuff than you do, Drama.

[to Vince] Where you headed?

Nowhere.

Turtle

We got no plane, man.

We're headed to London, we're chilling out for a second.

Turtle

How much room you got?

We got a little room. [points to large private jet]

One bad movie and this is what happens? I mean, was I really that awful?

Ari

Straight up, Vinnie... the movie was awful, and yes, you were awful in it, but one bad movie could be overcome. Look at Colin Farrell, he's overcome dozens of 'em, 'cause the perception of him is, he's a movie star.

And what's the perception of me?

Ari

That you don't give a fuck! You refuse to play the game, you refuse to be a part of the process. The great ones? Even if they don't care, they pretend they do.

[sits down] Do you think I'm a good actor, Ari?

Ari

I did not sign you in the first place because I thought you could act. I signed you because I thought you were a movie star and you haven't acted like one in a long time.

I'm ready to play the game Ari, whatever you say.

Ari

That's a good start.

[stands up] But I'm not willing to wait. I want you to send me into every person in this town who's willing to meet me. I don't care if I waste my time. I will charm the fuck out of every last one of them - filmmakers, studio execs, all of them. I will change their perception.

Ari

Like the fire!! [high-fives Vince as he leaves room]

[turns to Ari] You don't believe I'm a good actor?

Ari

It remains to be seen, but Vin, I'm starting to believe you're a movie star again, [calls out to Vince as he gets out] and you know what? This town loves a comeback, and since Britney fucked hers up, it's all you!!

I know things are bad, Marvin.

Bad was last year. Things are fucking disastrous now. You're like Katrina with a black card.

I've been broke before.

You're not broke- you're bankrupt. You've got to file chapter 11.

I'm not filing chapter 11.

You've got to wipe the slate clean and start all over again - and this time on a budget and without dependents.

Drama

Should I just get an appetizer?

You should go on a hunger strike. Vince, this is no time to be proud.

Marvin, my father filed bankruptcy, Left my mother with nothing-- not even child support. So call it pride, whatever you want, I'm not going to do it.

Drama

You're a better man than me, bro. I filed three times. Maybe that's why I'm alone.

Maybe it's because you're fucking ugly.

Ari Gold

I can see that you're saving money by flying private again.

Vincent Chase

Not our dime. It's theirs. [gestures to Dolce and Gabbana models]

Ari

Nice dime.

Where you headed?

Ari

We're going to Geneva. That's Alan's boss right there. [points to John Ellis boarding the plane]

Yeah?

Ari

Yeah!

Ah, you're going to Geneva for me? [Notices Ari speechless] Something wrong?

Ari

Yeah. Listen, Vinnie, um, you're the only one in this town that I'm telling this to - I'm in a position where I can get you any job that we want for the rest of your career.

How so?

Ari

They're offering me Alan's position. They want me to run the studio.

Wow.

Ari

It just came out of the blue. What do you think?

Ah I, I think I'd like us to finish what we started together, but...I think you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

This is not TV, Vince.

Oh no, what is it?

It's TV with Frank Darabont!

Know what Josh, sandbagging us like that was a real dick move.

I thought it would be more impactful if you heard it straight from Frank.

Drama

What the hell's so wrong with going TV?

Turtle

Nothing for David Hasselhoff or for you [to Weinstein], but for Vince, doing TV is ridiculous.

Drama

Yeah, but for you, doing Jamie-Lynn Sigler isn't. [gang stops to finally face Weinstein]

Turtle

Oh, here we go.

You did Jamie-Lynn Sigler?

Drama

Yeah, you believe it?

Not really.

Drama

Nobody does.

Yeah, it's been a pleasure as always, Josh.

Wait a minute. Just hold on a second, at least read the script. It's Frank Darabont, he's a genius. Vince, there's lots and lots of money in TV.

I don't want to get stuck playing the same character for the next five years. I want to do movies.

Turtle

He's still a movie star, you know.

Lots of movie stars do TV. George Clooney did ER, for Chrissake.

That was before he was George Clooney. No one goes back, 'cause you don't get back to movies.

Turtle

You didn't see Leo in the Growing Pains reunion.

Well, maybe it's time for you to think about that part of your life being over. Maybe you're not gonna be a movie star anymore. [pause] Look guys, I'm sorry. I'm just telling you what nobody else in this town has the balls to.

[gets in Weinstein's face] Why don't you walk away, Josh? Walk away.

I really don't see a head tilt.

Shall I get a protractor? It's there!
