Wonder Boys (2000)
22 October 2009
This movie is a masterpiece. Actors, dialogues, direction. I could never tire to watch it. My favourite film of all times. Michael Douglas is exceptional. Tobey Maguire and Robert Downey Jr. are his perfect sparring partners. Even Katie Holmes is hot in her red cowboy boots. And don’t forget Frances McDormand, what a woman!
Just watch it and lose yourself in it.
James Leer: Professor Tripp? Can I ask you a question?
Grady Tripp: Yeah, James.
James Leer: What are we going to do with… it?
Grady Tripp: I don’t know. I’m still trying to figure out how to tell the Chancellor I murdered her husband’s dog.
James Leer: You?
Grady Tripp: Trust me, James, when the family pet’s been assassinated, the owner doesn’t want to hear one of her students was the trigger man.
James Leer: Does she want to hear it was one of her professors?
Grady Tripp: …I’ve got tenure.
Antonia “Tony” Sloviak: Oh, that’s such a beautiful Greenhouse.
Grady Tripp: It’s Mrs. Gaskells, it’s her hobby.
Terry Crabtree: I thought YOU were Mrs. Gaskell’s hobby.
Grady Tripp: Piss off, will ya Crabs? I lost a wife today.
Terry Crabtree: You’ll find another one, you always do.
Vernon Hardapple: You drivin’ this car?
Grady Tripp: Excuse me?
Vernon Hardapple: This 1966 maroon Ford Galaxie 500. You drivin’ this car?
Grady Tripp: It’s mine.
Vernon Hardapple: Bullshit! It’s mine, motherfucka!
Grady Tripp: You must be mistaken.
Vernon Hardapple: Bullshit!

Terry Crabtree: Let me get this straight. Jerry Nathan owes you money, so as collateral he gives you his car.
Grady Tripp: Only I’m beginning to think that the car wasn’t exactly Jerry’s to give.
Terry Crabtree: Ah, so whose car was it?
Grady Tripp: My guess? Vernon Hardapple.
Terry Crabtree: The hood jumper?
Grady Tripp: He said a few things that lead me to believe that the car was his.
Terry Crabtree: Such as?
Grady Tripp: “That’s my car, motherfucker”.
