• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "I will tell you God's truth. God's truth about myself. I am the son of some very wealthy people from the Middle West. Sadly, all of them are dead now.

Amitabh Bachchan as Meyer Wolfsheim

• (Amitabh Bachchan) "What a gentleman. From one of the finest families in the Midwest. Ah, sadly, all dead now. When I first made the pleasure of Mr. Gatsby's acquaintance, just after the war, I knew I'd discovered a man of fine breeding. A war hero. Such medals. And an Oxford man. You know Oxford?"
• (Tobey Maguire) "Yes, I've heard of it."

Daisy was by far the most popular girl with the officers from Camp Taylor. One of them was in the car with her. It was Gatsby. And the way he looked at her is the way all girls want to be looked at."
