re: Don't know how I missed The Departed

this movie was great because of character development. you could literally say it was best roles for almost all of the actors. they each played their part perfectly.


Dignam: Your frickin' family's dug into the Southie projects like ticks. Three-decker men at best. You, however, grew up on the North Shore, huh? Well, la-di-frickin'-da. You were kind of a double kid, I bet, right? Huh? One kid with your old man, one kid with your mother. You're upper-middle class during the weeks, then you're droppin' your "R"s and you're hangin' in the big, bad Southie projects with your daddy, the frickin' donkey on the weekends. I got that right?

Dignam: [Billy does not answer] Yup. You have different accents? You did, didn't you? You little frickin' snake. You were like different people.

Billy Costigan: You a psychiatrist?

Dignam: Well, if I was I'd ask you why you're a Statie making 30 grand a year. And I think if I was Sigmund frickin' Freud I wouldn't get an answer. So tell me, what's a lace-curtain motherfricker like you doing in the Staties?

Billy Costigan: Families are always rising or falling in America, am I right?

Oliver Queenan: Who said that?

Billy Costigan: Hawthorne.

Dignam: [Dignam makes a farting sound] What's the matter, smartass, you don't know any frickin' Shakespeare?
