The Best of Michael Shannon

Curtis
"You think I'm crazy? Well, listen up, there's a storm coming like nothing you've ever seen, and not a one of you is prepared for it."

Peter Evans
"It's a surveillance tool. It's a microchip that's been implanted in the skin of every human being born on the planet since 1982. The test group for the prototype was the People's Temple! And when the Reverend Jim Jones threatened to expose them, he and every member of his church were assassinated!"

Nelson Van Alden
"Sometimes I find it easier to despise someone than to love them."

Bobby Andes
"It's gonna be rough on them out there, not knowing how it's gonna come. Maybe Ray get killed, for resisting arrest, or coming at home late at night, might get shot by a burglar."

Roy
"The only thing I ever believed in was Alton. And I failed him."

Galen
"So you get your heart broke? Don't walk around with a shit look on your face. Get back in there, get your tip wet. You hear me?"

John Givings
"The hopeless emptiness? Now, you've said it. Plenty of people are on to the emptiness; but, it takes real guts to see the hopelessness. Wow."

Richard Strickland
"The natives in the Amazon worshiped it. Like a god. We need to take it apart, learn how it works."

Rick Carver
"Don't be soft. Do you think America give a flying rats ass about you or me? America doesn't bail out the losers. America was built by bailing out winners. By rigging a nation of the winners, for the winners, by the winners."

Kim Fowley
"Dog shit! Urine-stained dog shit! Rock 'n' roll is a blood sport, a sport of men. It's for the people in the dark, the death cats, the masturbators, the outcasts who have no voice, no way of saying "I hate this world, my father's a faggot, fuck you, fuck authority - I want an orgasm!" Now, growl! Moan! This ain't women's lib, kiddies - this is women's libido! I wanna see the scratch marks down their fucking backs! Now, do it again. Again. Like your boyfriend just fucked your sister in your parent's bed. Like you want a fucking orgasm!"

Walt Thrombey
"I am not eating one iota of shit!"

Dex
"You don't look happy. Mind if I call you "Groucho"?"

Bobby Monday
"If you don't give over that envelope, you have no idea what's coming for you."

Richard Kuklinski
"I don't kill women and children."
