Interstate 60 (film) Quotes

James Marsden as Neal Oliver

  • (James Marsden) "As I said, it all started on my 22nd birthday, specifically here at my traditional birthday lunch. As always my father had picked the restaurant. Attending were the usual suspects: Sally, who my parents actually liked, maybe even more than I did; my dad, Daniel, attorney-at-law; my mom, Marlene, the attorney's wife; and my sister and best friend, Nancy, put on earth by the grace of God to keep me from going insane."
  • (James Marsden) "I love this highway."
  • (James Marsden) "Given an infinite universe and infinite time, all things will happen. That means that every event is inevitable, including those that are impossible. And it's as good an explanation for all of this as anything else. Now, a lot of stories start in bars, so that's where we're going to start this one. Not because I was there; I wasn't. But because it's a damn good introduction to a very unique -- fellow."
  • (James Marsden) "Mr. Cody had rather unique tastes in audio stimulation."
  • (Unnamed) "The choice is clear. The Arion 620, the American-made car for American-made drivers."
  • (Chris Cooper) "That's a lie. Arion engines are made in Japan."
  • (Unnamed) "Kill Signal, the movie everyone's talking about, from Weber Films."
  • (Chris Cooper) "That's another lie. We're not talking about it."
  • (Unnamed) "We're the U.S. post office, and we care."
  • (Chris Cooper) "Oh. That's the biggest whopper of all."
  • (James Marsden) "I worked graveyard shift at a grocery warehouse, filling orders for the trucks to take to the various stores in the morning. I liked it for three reasons: I'd gotten the job on my own, it paid enough that I did not have to ask the old man for cash, and it annoyed Daniel that his son was even working at such a low class job."
  • (James Marsden) "Oh, and Dad, that thing? It's crap. You got ripped off."
  • (James Marsden) "And it's upside down."
  • (James Marsden) "So what are you? An angel or a god?"
  • (Gary Oldman) "No, no, I'm just a guy that likes to mess with people's heads."
  • (James Marsden) "Okay, so if everyone who lives here is a lawyer, how do you live? I mean, who runs the grocery store? Who does your dry-cleaning? Who fixes the s***ter when it breaks?"
  • (Deborah Odell) "Well, we all moonlight on the law-related jobs. You know, police, bailiffs, court reporters. But those other, trivial things you mentioned? They're done by people like you awaiting trial. It's the only way they can afford their legal fees."

Gary Oldman as O.W. Grant

  • (Gary Oldman) "Say; you have a birthday coming up, don't you?"
  • (Amy Stewart) "How'd you know that?"
  • (Gary Oldman) "Don't forget to make a wish."
  • (Gary Oldman) "Now one young couple wished to be married and live happily ever after. So I blew up their car at the church on the way to the honeymoon. Another guy he wanted great, perfect sex every day with his choice of gorgeous women; no pregnancies. So everyday he gets a FedEx delivery of a skin magazine and a box of tissues."
  • (Gary Oldman) "Some people just don't know what to wish for. Ugch"
  • (Gary Oldman) "Every event is inevitable; if it wasn't, it wouldn't happen."
  • (Gary Oldman) "Oh they say everything happens for a reason -- Me? I guess I just needed a new bike."
  • (Gary Oldman) "Don't take it personal kid. I f*** with everybody."
  • (Gary Oldman) "As I say, messing with people's heads can be a lot of fun. You should try it."

Deborah Odell as Valerie McCabe

  • (Deborah Odell) "Valerie McCabe, Yale '91. I've got a special rate for visitors, and I know I can win your case."
  • (James Marsden) "You don't even know my case."
  • (Deborah Odell) "The Madison case? Nuisance suit. Happens to visitors all the time. Fact is J.J. Madison doesn't even have a cat. He's allergic. I could have it thrown out in no time."
  • (James Marsden) "Wait, he never had a cat? So, why's he going to sue somebody for it?"
  • (Deborah Odell) "Because he can."
  • (James Marsden) "What?"
  • (Deborah Odell) "Every adult citizen of Morlaw is a lawyer, so everybody sues everybody else. It doesn't matter if there's a cause. It's how we ensure that everyone makes a living off their profession."
  • (James Marsden) "Yeah, but that's insane."
  • (Deborah Odell) "I could sue you for that. You just made a defamatory remark about this town. Hey, are you looking at my legs? I could sue you for that too, sexual harassment."
  • (James Marsden) "Is there anything you can't sue me for?"
  • (Deborah Odell) "Hire me. That way, everything between us is subject to attorney-client privilege. I'm $75 an hour. First hour is free."
  • (James Marsden) "Well, at least you know my case. All right, you're hired."

Chris Cooper as Bob Cody

  • (Chris Cooper) "Say what you mean, mean what you say. You know that if everybody followed that rule, there'd be a lot less trouble. You know, we still have a contract, Mr. Oliver. Sure hope you're not thinking about breaking that contract."
  • (James Marsden) "Thinking about it? Yes. Doing it? No, sir."
  • (Chris Cooper) "That's a very honest response. That's a breath of fresh air."
  • (Chris Cooper) "Hey, Bob Cody. I don't drive, and I don't like to hitchhike. When I hitchhike I'm at the mercy of the driver. But when I pay for the ride, I'm the employer and I call the shots. That's how I like it. So you want to work for me?"
  • (James Marsden) "Well, I'm going to Danver. I wouldn't mind making some money."
  • (Chris Cooper) "Good. I'm going to Renburg. It's on your way. Here's my proposition. You pay for gas, pay for your meals. No alcohol while you're on payroll. I pick the radio stations. I initiate all conversations. I'll pay you $10 cash every hour, and the mileage money when we get to Renburg. In all other matters, you play straight with me, I'll play straight with you. So, do we have a contract?"
  • (James Marsden) "We have a contract."
  • (Chris Cooper) "So who's my new employee?"
  • (James Marsden) "Neal Oliver."
  • (Chris Cooper) "Mr. Oliver, you may call me "Mr. Cody" or "sir"."
  • (James Marsden) "You've got it, sir."
  • (Chris Cooper) "Ever hear of Frederick Turner, Mr. Oliver?"
  • (James Marsden) "No, sir."
  • (Chris Cooper) "Well, he was an historian. About a hundred years ago he came up with a theory about the frontier. He said the frontier was a safety valve for civilization, a place for people to go to keep from goin' mad. So, whenever there were folks who couldn't fit in with the way things were, nuts, and malcontents, and extremists, they'd pack up and head for the frontier. That's how America got started; all the crackpots and troublemakers in Europe packed up and went to a frontier which became the thirteen colonies. When some people couldn't fit in with that, they moved farther west, which is why all the nuts eventually ended up in California. Turner died in 1932, so he wasn't around long enough to see what would happen to the world when we ran out of frontier. Some people say we have the frontier of the mind, and they go off and explore the wonderful world of alcohol and drugs, but that's no frontier. It's just another way for us to fool ourselves. And we've created this phony frontier with computers, which allows people to, you know, think they've escaped. A frontier with access fees?"
  • (James Marsden) "What about space? You know, the final frontier."
  • (Chris Cooper) "Ah, Star Trek isn't space. That's television; fine f***in' frontier that is. Besides, how many folks can just pack up and go to space?"

Amy Smart as Lynn Linden
