NERD NOTE: The line-up scene in the Usual Suspects was originally scripted to be a serious part of the film. But according to Kevin Pollak, Benicio Del Toro kept farting and making the cast laugh. Director Bryan Singer was furious at the time, and couldn’t force the actors to keep a straight face. Trying to salvage the footage, Bryan Singer decided to change directions and edited together a collection of the funniest takes for the scene. It worked! Benicio Del Toro’s farting helped create one of the most memorable scenes in the movie.

Who’s The Gimp?

  • Hockney: F**k who did it. What I want to know is who’s the gimp.
  • Dean Keaton: He’s ok.
  • Hockney: Says you. How do I know that? What about it, Pretzel-man? What’s your story?
  • Dean Keaton: His name is Verbal. Verbal Kint.
  • McManus : Verbal?
  • Dean Keaton : Yeah.
  • Verbal: ‘Roger’, really. People say I talk too much.
  • Hockney: Yeah, I was just gonna tell you to shut up.

“How many times you been in a lineup? It’s always you and four dummies.”

  • Dean Keaton: How many times you been in a lineup? It’s always you and four dummies. PD are paying homeless guys $10 a head half the time. And there’s no way they’d line five felons in the same row. No way. And what’s a – What’s a voice lineup? Public defender could get you out of that one.

“You are a criminal.”

  • Fenster: You do some time, they never let you go. They treat me like a criminal. I’ll end up a criminal.
  • Hockney: You are a criminal.
  • Fenster: Why you gotta go and do that? I’m trying to make a point.

“What, do you got a team of monkeys working around the clock on this?”

  • Interrogation Cop: I can put you in Queens on the night of the hijacking.
  • Hockney: Really? I live in Queens. Did you put that together yourself, Einstein? What, do you got a team of monkeys working around the clock on this?

“I can’t feel my legs… Keyser.”

  • Keyser Soze: How are you doing Keaton?
  • Dean Keaton: I can’t feel my legs… Keyser.
  • Keyser Soze: Ready?
  • Dean Keaton: What time is it.
  • Keyser Soze: 12:30
  • (gunshots)

“You think you can catch Keyser Soze? You think a guy like that comes this close to getting caught and sticks his head out?”

  • Verbal: Where’s your head, Agent Kujan? Where do you think the pressure’s coming from? Keyser Soze – or whatever you want to call him – he knows where I am right now. He’s got the front burner under your ass to let me go, so he can scoop me up ten minutes later. Immunity was just a deal with you assholes. I got a whole new problem when I post bail.
  • Dave Kujan: So why play into his hands? We can protect you.
  • Verbal: Oh, gee, thanks, Dave. Bang-up job so far. Extortion, coercion. You’ll pardon me if I ask you to kiss my pucker. The same f**kers that rounded us up and sank us into this mess are gonna bail me out? F**k you. You think you can catch Keyser Soze? You think a guy like that comes this close to getting caught and sticks his head out? If he comes up for anything, it will be to get rid of me. After that… my guess is you’ll never hear from him again.

  • Dave Kujan: You know Ruby’s in Attica?

  • Verbal: Can I get some coffee?
  • Dave Kujan: In a while. Let’s talk about the lineup.
  • Verbal: I’m really thirsty. I used to dehydrate as a kid. One time it got so bad my piss came out like snot. I’m not kidding, it was all thick and gooey.

  • Dave Kujan: So that’s why you never told the DA.
  • Verbal: You tell me, Agent Kujan. If I told you the Loch Ness Monster hired me to hit the harbor, what would you say?

“I Believe In God, And The Only Thing That Scares Me Is Keyser Soze.”

  • (Telling Kujan the story of Keyser Soze)
  • Verbal: He lets the last Hungarian go. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents’ friends. He burns down the houses they live in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. Nobody has ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. “Rat on your pop and Keyser Soze will get you.” And no one ever really believes.

I wish I could go back in time and watch The Usual Suspects again for the first time. It is such a great movie for so many reasons. Writer Christopher McQuarrie, did a wonderful job with the script and won an Oscar for his efforts in 1996. He worked for a detective agency and a law firm before he became a screenwriter and used his experience to help develop the film’s characters. Most of the character names in the film are references to his former colleagues at these two jobs.
