Erin
Brockovich
Theresa Dallavale: Okay, look, I think we got off
on the wrong foot here --
Erin Brockovich: That's all you got, lady. Two wrong
feet. In fucking ugly shoes.
Erin
Brockovich: Bite my ass, Krispy Kreme!
Erin
Brockovich: For the first time in my life, I got people respecting me. Please,
don't ask me to give it up.
Erin
Brockovich: Did they teach you how to apologize at lawyer school? 'Cause you suck
at it.
Ed
Masry: Do they teach beauty queens how to apologize? Because you suck at it!
Ed
Masry: What makes you think you can just walk in there and take whatever you want?
Erin Brockovich: They're called boobs, Ed.
Kurt
Potter: Wha... how did you do this?
Erin Brockovich: Well, um, seeing as how
I have no brains or legal expertise, and Ed here was losing all faith in the system,
am I right?
Ed Masry: Oh, yeah, completely. No faith, no faith...
Erin
Brockovich: I just went out there and performed sexual favors. Six hundred and
thirty-four blow jobs in five days... I'm really quite tired.
Ed
Masry: In a law firm you may want to re-think your wardrobe a little.
Erin
Brockovich: Well as long as I have one ass instead of two I'll wear what I like
if that's alright with you? You might want to re-think those ties.
Erin
Brockovich: Are you going to be something else that I have to survive? Because
I don't think I can handle it.
Erin
Brockovich: NOT PERSONAL!! That is my WORK, my SWEAT, and MY TIME AWAY FROM MY
KIDS!! IF THAT IS NOT PERSONAL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS!!
[At
the meeting with the PG & E lawyers]
Ms. Sanchez: Let's be honest here.
$20 million dollars is more money then these people have ever dreamed of.
Erin
Brockovich: Oh see, now that pisses me off. First of all, since the demur we have
more than 400 plaintiffs and...let's be honest, we all know there are more out
there. They may not be the most sophisticated people but they do know how to divide
and $20 million isn't *shit* when you split it between them. Second of all, these
people don't dream about being rich. They dream about being able to watch their
kids swim in a pool without worrying that they'll have to have a hysterectomy
at the age of *twenty*. Like Rosa Diaz, a client of ours. Or have their spine
deteriorate, like Stan Blume, *another* client of ours. So before you come back
here with another lame ass offer, I want you to think real hard about what your
spine is worth Mr. Walker. Or what you might expect someone to pay you for your
uterus Ms. Sanchez. Then you take out your calculator and you multiply that number
by a hundred. Anything less than that is a waste of our time.
[Ms. Sanchez
picks up a glass of water]
Erin Brockovich: By the way, we had that water
brought in especially for you folks. Came from a well in Hinkley.
Ms. Sanchez:
I think this meeting is over.
Ed Masry: Damn right it is.
Erin
Brockovich: Look I don't know shit about shit but I know right from wrong!
George:
How many numbers you got?
Erin Brockovich: Oh, I got numbers comin' outta
my ears. For instance: ten.
George: Ten?
Erin Brockovich: Yeah. That's
how many months old my baby girl is.
George: You got a little girl?
Erin
Brockovich: Yeah. Yeah, sexy, huh? How 'bout this for a number? Six. That's how
old my other daughter is, eight is the age of my son, two is how many times I've
been married -- and divorced; sixteen is the number of dollars I have in my bank
account. 850-3943. That's my phone number, and with all the numbers I gave you,
I'm guessing zero is the number of times you're gonna call it.
Erin
Brockovich: Isn't it funny how some people go out of their way to help others,
when others just fire them?
Ed Masry: Look, I'm sorry but you were gone for
a week. I assumed you were off having fun.
Erin Brockovich: Oh, and why the
hell would you assume that?
Ed Masry: I don't know. You look like someone
who likes to have fun.
Erin Brockovich: Oh, so by that standard I should assume
that you never get laid.
Ed Masry: I'm married!
[after a pause]
Ed
Masry: Look. What is this all about?
Erin Brockovich: Do you want to know?
Then you'll have to hire me back. I've got a ton of bills to pay.
Ed Masry:
Fine! Fine!
Ed
Masry: This is a whole different ball game. A much bigger deal.
Erin Brockovich:
Kind of like David and whats-his-name.
Ed Masry: Kind of like David and whats-his-name's
whole fucking family.
Donna
Jensen: You're a lawyer?
Erin Brockovich: NO, no... I hate lawyers. I only
work for them.
