 Quotes from Metropolitan (1990)
1
Nick Smith: Rick Von Slonecker is tall, rich, good looking, stupid, dishonest, conceited, a bully, liar, drunk and thief, an egomaniac, and probably psychotic. In short, highly attractive to women.

Jane Clark: Why should we believe you over Rick? We know you're a hypocrite. We know your "Polly Perkins" story was a fabrication - ...
Nick Smith: A composite.
Jane Clark: - -that you're completely impossible and out of control, with some sort of drug problem and a fixation on what you consider Rick Von Sloneker's wickedness. You're a snob, a sexist, totally obnoxious and tiresome. And lately you've gotten just weird. Why should we believe anything you say?
Nick Smith: I'm not "tiresome."

  
3
Tom Townsend: You don't have to read a book to have an opinion.

  
4
Nick Smith: I've always planned to be a failure anyway, that's why I plan to marry an extremely wealthy woman.

  
5
Nick Smith: It's a tiny bit arrogant of people to go around worrying about those less fortunate.

  
6
Nick Smith: Playing strip poker with an exhibitionist somehow takes the challenge out of it.

  
7
Audrey Rouget: People see the harm in what excessive candor can do.

  
8
Fred Neff: Men are dates, date substitutes or potential dates. I find that dehumanizing.

  
9
Man at Bar: The acid test is whether you take any pleasure in responding to the question "What do you do?" I can't bear it.

  
10
Charlie Black: When you're an egoist, none of the harm you do is intentional.

  
11
Sally Fowler: What have you against Tom?
Charlie Black: Just one thing: He's not a good person.

  
12
Audrey Rouget: What Jane Austen novels have you read?
Tom Townsend: None. I don't read novels. I prefer good literary criticism. That way you get both the novelists' ideas as well as the critics' thinking. With fiction I can never forget that none of it really happened, that it's all just made up by the author.

  
13
Tom Townsend: I've never been this drunk before. The problem is, with Fred no longer drinking, I can't pace myself.

  
14
Nick Smith: The cha cha is no more ridiculous than life itself.

  
15
Nick Smith: I guess you could say it's extremely vulgar, I like it a lot.

  
16
Charlie: Fourierism was tried in the late nineteenth century... and it failed. Wasn't Brookfarm Fourierist? It failed.
Tom: That's debatable.
Charlie: Whether Brookfarm failed?
Tom: That it ceased to exist, I'll grant you, but whether or not it failed cannot be definitively said.
Charlie: Well, for me, ceasing to exist is - is failure. I mean, that's pretty definitive.
Tom: Well, everyone ceases to exist. Doesn't mean everyone's a failure.

  
17
Jane: What are you reading?
Nick: The story of Babar... I'd forgotten how beautiful it was.

  
18
Sally: Good night! Oh... good luck with your Furrierism!

  
19
Nick: Driver! Follow that pedestrian!

  
20
Nick: The titled aristocracy are the scum of the earth.
Sally: You always say *titled* aristocrats. What about *untitled* aristocrats?
Nick: Well, I could hardly despise them, could I? That would be self-hatred.
