The Best of Dustin Hoffman

Ratso Rizzo
"I gotta get outta here, gotta get outta here. Miami Beach, that's where you could score. Anybody can score there, even you. In New York, no rich lady with any class at all buys that cowboy crap anymore. They're laughin' at you on the street."

Ben Braddock
"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me!"

Thomas 'Babe' Levy
"I saw you kill them! You killed them! You killed them! You killed them! You fucking killed them! You killed my brother!"

Harold Meyerowitz
"It's called flirting when you're young. I'm not sure what it's called when you're over 70."

Carl Bernstein
"Bob, listen, I think I've got something, I don't know what it is. But somewhere in this world there is a Kenneth H. Dahlberg, and we gotta get to him before the New York Times does, because I think they've got the same information."

Ted Kramer
"Mommy stayed here longer than she wanted because she loves you so much. And the reason why Mommy couldn't stay anymore... was because she couldn't stand me. She didn't leave because of you. She left because of me."

Raymond Babbitt
"I'm an excellent driver."

Michael Dorsey
"You know, I could lay a big line on you and we could do a lot of role-playing, but the simple truth is, is that I find you very interesting and I'd really like to make love to you."

Stanley Motss
"Look at that! That is a complete fucking fraud, and it looks a hundred percent real. It's the best work I've ever done in my life, because it's so honest."

Professor Jules Hilbert
"No one wants to die, Harold, but unfortunately we do. Harold, you will die someday, sometime. Heart failure at the bank. Choke on a mint. Some long, drawn-out disease you contracted on vacation. You will die. You will absolutely die. Even if you avoid this death, another will find you and I guarantee that it won't be nearly as poetic or meaningful as what she's written."

Danny Snyder
"Hey, I'm lucky I can find the courthouse. I had only four cases last year-you know how many I won? None, that's how many, none. In two of them, uh, I, a, I think the jury blamed me personnally."

Bernard Jaffe
"The universe is an infinite sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere."

Giuseppe Baldini
"Talent means next to nothing, while experience acquired in humility and hard work means everything."

Wendell Rohr
"There's gonna be another shooting, and another shooting, and it's not gonna let up until we demand a change."

Norman Goodman
"MANIFEST! MANIFEST! He made it happen. It's not that different from a child. A child imagines something that believes its real and its not there, but with Harry, He not only makes it real from himself, he makes real for all of us."
