One Hour Photo Quotes

Robin Williams as Sy Parrish

  • (Robin Williams) "And if these pictures have anything important to say to future generations, it's this: I was here. I existed. I was young, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture."
  • (Robin Williams) "The shutter is clicked. The flash goes off and they've stopped time, as if just for the blink of an eye."
  • (Robin Williams) "Are you a family man, Detective?"
  • (Eriq La Salle) "That's none of your business, Sy."
  • (Robin Williams) "You're right, it's not. But I can see by your response and the ring on your finger that you are. That makes you a fortunate man. I can also tell be the way you've treated me so far that you're a good man, and that you appreciate your good fortune. You're not the kind of man who would cheat on his wife, hurt his family, abuse their trust."
  • (Robin Williams) "You would never neglect or abuse your children."
  • (Robin Williams) "Make horrible demands of them. You would never ask -- You would never ask your children to do things -- things that children shouldn't do."

  • (Robin Williams) "Pretend it's all pretend."
  • (Robin Williams) "I've been doing P.O.S. mini-lab work for more than 20 years now. I consider it an important job. When people's houses are on fire, what's the first thing they save after their pets and loved ones are safe? The family photos. Some people think that this is a job for a clerk. They actually believe that any idiot that attends a two-day seminar can master the art of making beautiful prints in less than an hour. But of course, like most things, there's far more to it than meets the eye. I've seen prints they fob off on people at the Rexall or Fotek -- milky, washed-out prints -- too dark prints. There's no sense of reverence for the service they're providing for people. I process these photos as if they were my own."
  • (Robin Williams) "Most people don't take snapshots of the little things. The used Band-Aid, the guy at the gas station, the wasp on the Jell-O. But these are the things that make up the true picture of our lives. People don't take pictures of these things."

  • (Robin Williams) "Larry, all I'm asking you to do is look at these prints."
  • (Larry - Repairman) "Plus point three? Sy, are you f***in' kiddin' me? Point three? Nobody gives a s*** until those shifts are in the double digits."
  • (Robin Williams) "It's blue, Larry."
  • (Robin Williams) "Well, I bet Brandt cares about a plus point three."
  • (Larry - Repairman) "Are you f***in' threatening me? You're breakin' my balls over a plus three blue shift."
  • (Larry - Repairman) "f***in' asshole."
  • (Larry - Repairman) "Next time you call me out here, that thing better be belching fire."
  • (Robin Williams) "That's a great attitude, Larry. Thanks for your precision work."
  • (Robin Williams) "New parents go photo crazy."
  • (Robin Williams) "All I did was take pictures --"

Connie Nielsen as Nina Yorkin

  • (Connie Nielsen) "I know he's f***ing Maya Burson. I don't give a s*** about that right now, I just need you to tell me where he is."
  • (Connie Nielsen) "You've been doing my pictures for a long time."
  • (Robin Williams) "I almost feel like "Uncle Sy.""

Gary Cole as Bill Owens

  • (Gary Cole) "Motherf***er."
  • (Gary Cole) "If you haven't noticed, this isn't Neiman Marcus. People just wanna come in here with their kids, have a good time, and save a few pennies on paper towels and socks. If they wanted to see yelling and screaming, they'd stay at home."

  • (Robin Williams) "What?"
  • (Gary Cole) "Free disposable cameras to customers on their birthday? That must have been your bright idea. Sure as s*** isn't company policy."
  • (Robin Williams) "You can't do this."
  • (Gary Cole) "It's done, Sy. I talked to Sims at district. Now you finish out the week and clear out your locker. And if you do something like f*** up today's prints --"
  • (Robin Williams) "I haven't f***ed up a customer's prints in 11 years."
  • (Gary Cole) "Sy, there's a 1000 other places where you can do your photos. There's no reason to come all the way down other than to f*** with me."
  • (Robin Williams) "There's a very good reason. I calibrated that machine personally. It's the best mini-lab in the state."

Eriq La Salle as Detective James Van Der Zee

  • (Eriq La Salle) "How did he react?"
  • (Gary Cole) "I fire a lot of people, and most get pretty upset. And he got pretty upset. Surely you're taking this seriously?"
  • (Eriq La Salle) "Yes; we take it VERY seriously."
  • (Eriq La Salle) "We processed the roll of film we found in your bag, Mr. Parrish. They're not very pretty pictures. Also, you left the camera in the hotel. We processed that roll as well."

  • (Michael Vartan) "How; How do you think we pay for all this?"
  • (Connie Nielsen) "I'm just asking you. What do you think --"
  • (Michael Vartan) "there's a money fairy that comes and slips an envelope under my pillow every month?"
  • (Connie Nielsen) "What are you even talkin' about?"
  • (Michael Vartan) "Well -- well, how -- all of this stuff -- the new Mercedes, the matching washer and dryer -- the f***ing Jil Sander blouse you have on now; how? I love you, Nina. I do -- but if you continually want our life to look like something out of a magazine, I'm sorry. I've gotta work to make that happen."
  • (Connie Nielsen) "Do you even believe what you're saying, huh? This is not about things, Will -- and it's not about money. You're neglectful. Do you understand that?"
  • (Michael Vartan) "What?"
  • (Connie Nielsen) "You are an emotionally neglectful husband -- and you're an emotionally neglectful father. Got it now?"
  • (Michael Vartan) "That's just f***in' great. Neglectful?"
