Mad Max: Fury Road Quotes

[from trailer]

Max Rockatansky: My name is Max. My world is fire. And blood.

[from trailer]

Immortan Joe: Everybody has gone out their mind. You're not the only one, Max.

[first lines]

Max Rockatansky: [Narrating] My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. Once, I was a cop. A road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy... me... or everyone else.

Imperator Furiosa: You never gonna have a better chance.

Max Rockatansky: At what?

Imperator Furiosa: Redemption.

Toast: What are you doing?

The Dag: Praying.

Toast: To who?

The Dag: Anyone who's listening.

Max Rockatansky: Have you done this before?

Imperator Furiosa: Many times.

Imperator Furiosa: And how exactly do we take the Citadel, assuming we're still alive by then?

Toast: If we can block the pass, it'll be easy. All that's left are his War Pups, and War Boys too sick to fight.

Capable: And we'll be with Nux. He's a War Boy. He'll be bringing us home, bringing back what's stolen, like he's supposed to.

[Everyone turns to look at Nux]

Nux: Yeah... feels like hope.

[Max proposes turning back and claiming the Citadel]

Keeper of the Seeds: I like this plan... we could start again, just like the old days!

Max Rockatansky: Look, it'll be a hard day.

[points to the horizon]

Max Rockatansky: But I guarantee you that a hundred and sixty days ride that way... there's nothing but salt.

[points back]

Max Rockatansky: At least that way we might be able to... together... come across some kind of redemption.

[He holds out his hand. After a pause, Furiosa takes it and clasps tight]

Imperator Furiosa: [to Immortan Joe] Remember me?

[Throws Joe's mask hose into the rear wheels of his vehicle, tearing off his lower face and killing him instantly]

Nux: We're not to blame!

The Splendid Angharad: Then who killed the World?

[the Mechanic performs a C-section on Angharad]

The Organic Mechanic: Crying shame. Another month, could have been your viable human.

Immortan Joe: Was it a male?

The Organic Mechanic: Yep. Your number one alpha prime.

[cuts the umbilical and twirls it between his fingers]

The Organic Mechanic: Hey, Rictus?

Rictus Erectus: Yeah?

The Organic Mechanic: You lost a baby brother. Perfect in every way.

Rictus Erectus: I had a brother! I had a little baby brother! And he was perfect! Perfect in every way!

The Valkyrie: It'll take two weeks to skirt the wall of mountains.

Max Rockatansky: No. I suggest we go back the same way we came. Through the canyon.

Toast: [after a pause] It's open - we know that, right? He brought all his war parties through.

Max Rockatansky: So we take the War Rig and charge it right through the middle of them. We can decouple the tanker at the pass, shut it off behind us.

Keeper of the Seeds: [she and the Dag make the same gesture] Kaboom!

[laughter]

The Bullet Farmer: All this over a family squabble... healthy babies...

[spits]

Imperator Furiosa: How does it feel?

The Splendid Angharad: It hurts.

Imperator Furiosa: Out here, everything hurts. You wanna get through this? Do as I say. Now pick up what you can and run.

Capable: What are you doing here?

Nux: [Sobbing] He saw it. He saw it all. My own bloodbag driving the rig that killed her.

[Nux begins banging his head]

Capable: Stop doing that! Shh. Stop.

Nux: Three times the gates were opened to me.

Capable: What gates?

Nux: I was awaited in Valhalla. They were calling my name. I should be walking with the Immortan or feasting with the heroes of our time.

Capable: I'd say it was your manifest destiny not to.

Nux: I thought that I was spec for something great. I got to... drive a pursuit vehicle, for a while even Larry and Barry stopped chewing my windpipe.

Capable: Who are Larry and Barry?

Nux: My mates.

[Points at his neck tumors]

Nux: Larry and Barry. If they don't get me then the night fevers would.

[Max appears and heads off Furiosa, the Wives, and the Vuvalini. They brake to a stop, and Max shows Furiosa a map]

Max Rockatansky: [points to the Citadel] All right. This is your way home.

Imperator Furiosa: [incredulous] We go back?

Max Rockatansky: Mmm.

Toast: [incredulous] Back?

Max Rockatansky: Yeah.

The Dag: I thought you weren't insane anymore.

Toast: [counting their remaining bullets] Well, we've only got four for big boy here, so he's all but useless.

[holds up a tiny derringer]

Toast: But we can squirt off this little pinkie a raunchy twenty-nine times.

The Dag: Angharad used to call them anti-seed.

Cheedo the Fragile: Plant one and watch something die.

Nux: Immortan, if I can get onto the rig, there's a way inside.

Immortan Joe: What is your name?

Nux: It's Nux. I'll pike her in the spine, keep her breathing for you.

Immortan Joe: No!

[gives Nux a revolver]

Immortan Joe: Put a bullet in her skull. Stop the rig. Return my treasures to me and I myself will carry you to the gates of Valhalla.

Nux: Am I awaited?

Immortan Joe: [sprays Nux's mouth with chrome spray paint] You will ride eternal, shiny and chrome.

Nux: Immortan! Immortan Joe!

[Immortan Joe turns and looks at Nux]

Nux: He looked at me. He looked right at me.

Slit: He looked at your blood bag.

Nux: He turned his head. He looked me straight in the eye.

Slit: He was scanning the horizon.

Nux: No, I am awaited. I am awaited in Valhalla!

[after Joe's truck crashes, a pursuit bike brakes to a halt beside him, moaning over Angharad's body in his arms]

War boy: You all right?

Immortan Joe: On, on!

[the bike speeds after the War Rig]

Toast: [Max returns after killing the Bullet Farmer] Are you hurt?

Max Rockatansky: Huh?

Toast: You're bleeding.

Imperator Furiosa: That's not his blood.

Max Rockatansky: Hey - you need to take the War Rig half a klick down the track.

Imperator Furiosa: What if you're not back by the time the engines are cooled?

Max Rockatansky: [looks back, then shrugs] Well, you keep movin'.

[heads off towards the Bullet Farmer's gunfire]

Toast: What do you suppose he's gonna do?

Imperator Furiosa: Retaliate first.

The Bullet Farmer: Come on! I've been called to the torture!

Immortan Joe: Patience!

The Bullet Farmer: Oh, you stay here with your grief, daddy. I'll fetch 'em for ya.

The People Eater: Be careful! Protect the assets!

The Bullet Farmer: Just one angry shot... for Furiosa. Hut!

The Vuvalini: What's there to find at the Citadel?

Max Rockatansky: Green.

Toast: And water. There's a ridiculous amount of clear water. And a lot of crops.

The Dag: It's got everything you need, as long as you're not afraid of heights.

Keeper of the Seeds: Where does the water come from?

Toast: [re: Immortan Joe] He pumps it up from deep within the earth. He calls it "Aqua Cola" and claims it all for himself.

The Dag: And because he owns it, he owns all of us.

Keeper of the Seeds: I don't like him already.

The Ace: [Being pursued by the Buzzards in the spikey cars] Should we turn it 'round and run 'em into our backup?

Imperator Furiosa: No. We're good. We fang it!

[blows War Rig's air horn]

The Ace: Thunder up! Here we go!

Max Rockatansky: [to Furiosa] I am so sorry...

[stabs her]

Imperator Furiosa: Hey. What's your name? What do I call you?

Max Rockatansky: Does it matter?

Imperator Furiosa: Fine. When I yell "fool," you drive out of here as fast as you can.

[after Furiosa's shot shatters his vehicle's searchlight]

The Bullet Farmer: Hold up a flare!

Red Flare Warrior: I am holding a flare!

The Bullet Farmer: [opens his eyes wide] Closer!

Red Flare Warrior: It's right in front of your eyes!

[realizing he is blind, the Farmer screams]

The Dag: [to her belly] Stay right where you are, little Joe. Kind of lost his novelty out here.

Keeper of the Seeds: You're having a baby?

The Dag: Warlord, Jr... It's gonna be so ugly.

Keeper of the Seeds: It could be a girl!

[pause]

The Dag: You kill people with that, do you?

Keeper of the Seeds: Killed everyone I've ever met out here. Headshots all of, snap! Right on the medulla.

The Dag: I thought some of you girls were above all that.

Keeper of the Seeds: [after a pause] Come here. Take a peek.

The Dag: [gasping] Seeds.

Keeper of the Seeds: This are from home. Heirlooms. The real thing. I plant one every chance I get.

The Dag: Where?

Keeper of the Seeds: So far nothing's took. Earth's too sour.

The Dag: Ah! So many different kinds.

Keeper of the Seeds: Trees, flowers, fruit. Back then everyone had they field. Back then there was no need to snap anybody.

Nux: There's high ground, just beyond that thing.

Capable: He means the tree.

Nux: Yeah, tree!

Slit: [throttling Max with a chain] Hey heads! Say bye-bye to the neck! To capitol!

Nux: [driving into a sandstorm] We're going in, Slit!

[Max and Furiosa come across a naked woman screaming and crying in a cage]

Max Rockatansky: Uh-uh. That's bait.

Imperator Furiosa: Stay in the rig.

Nux: I am the man... who grabs the sun... RIDING TO VALHALLA!

[turns to Max]

Nux: WITNESS ME, BLOOD BAG!

[sprays lips with chrome spray paint]

Nux: WITNESS!

[the Bullet Farmer starts firing in the direction of the War Rig]

Ripsaw Imperator: Wouldn't want to shoot the Wives, sir.

The Bullet Farmer: Just probing.

[after Furiosa kills Immortan Joe by tearing his face off]

Cheedo the Fragile: [to the group] He's dead! He's dead!

[Furiosa attempts to lure the War Boys into a sandstorm]

Rictus Erectus: [to Immortan Joe] She thinks she can lose us, Dad! She thinks we're stupid! She thinks she can lose us in there!

Miss Giddy: [holding Immortan Joe at gunpoint with a shotgun] They are not your property!

Immortan Joe: Miss Giddy!

Miss Giddy: You cannot own a human being! Sooner or later, someone pushes back!

Immortan Joe: WHERE IS SHE TAKING THEM?

Miss Giddy: She didn't take them, they begged her to go!

Immortan Joe: [points the shotgun away and grabs Miss Giddy] ... Where is she taking them?

Miss Giddy: A long way from you!

[Immortan Joe takes Miss Giddy away]

Nux: [as Joe positions his car in front of the War Rig during the final chase] Do you hear that? We're gonna see two airborne V8s.

Imperator Furiosa: I'm gonna need you to drive. I'll get him out of our way.

[makes her way to Joe's car]

Capable: [after Angharad's death, to Max] Stop! Turn the rig around! Go back for her!

Max Rockatansky: No.

Capable: [to Furiosa] Tell him to turn the rig around!

Imperator Furiosa: [to Max] Did you see it?

Max Rockatansky: She went under the wheels.

Imperator Furiosa: Did you see it?

Max Rockatansky: [looks at Furiosa] She went under the wheels.

Imperator Furiosa: We keep moving...

Capable: NO!

Imperator Furiosa: We keep moving!

Capable: [crying] He doesn't know what he's talking about!

Toast: Whatever happens, we're going to the Green Place...

Cheedo the Fragile: The stupid "Green Place!" We don't even know where to find it!

The Dag: [Cheedo takes off running; Capable and the Dag run after her] Cheedo! Cheedo, don't be stupid!

Capable: STOP!

Cheedo the Fragile: [about Immortan Joe] He'll forgive us, I know he will!

Capable: There's no going back!

Cheedo the Fragile: We were his treasures! We were protected, he gave us the high life! What's wrong with that?

Capable: Cheedo! We are not things!

Cheedo the Fragile: [Furiosa shoots the bikers riding towards them] NO!

The Dag: Cheedo, we are not things!

Capable: We are not things.

Cheedo the Fragile: I don't want to hear that again!

Capable: [referring to Angharad] They were her words!

Cheedo the Fragile: [angrily] And now she's DEAD!

The Dag: Wring your hands, tear your hair. But you're not going back. You're not going back to him!

Cheedo the Fragile: [crying] ANGHARAD!

Corpus Colossus: [looking through a telescope, to Immortan Joe] Hey pa - you know about this?

[Joe and Rictus Erectus walk over to him]

Corpus Colossus: Your produce ain't goin' to Gas Town... She's gone offroad, into hostile territory.

[Joe looks through the telescope, then runs off, agitated]

Rictus Erectus: Why would she do that, Dad?

Rictus Erectus: [trying to look through Corpus' telescope] Lemme see! Lemme see!

Corpus Colossus: Rictus!

Rictus Erectus: I wanna see!

Corpus Colossus: Rictus. Go see what's agitatin' Dad!

Imperator Furiosa: [meeting with the Rock Riders] It's all here! 3,000 gallons of guzzoline, just like you asked. I'm gonna unhitch the pod, you drop the rocks.

The Rock Rider Chief: You said, "A few vehicles in pursuit, maybe." We count THREE war parties!

Imperator Furiosa: Yeah, well, I got unlucky. Let's do this!

Imperator Furiosa: [realizing that the Rock Riders have double-crossed her, Furiosa turns to Max] FOOL!

[chase begins]

Nux: [sneaks up from behind Furiosa and strangles her with his chains] Filth! You traitored him!

The Splendid Angharad: [Furiosa holds up a knife to Nux's neck] No unnecessary killing!

Imperator Furiosa: This War Boy wants me dead!

The Splendid Angharad: We agreed! He's kamakrazee! He's just a kid at the end of his half-life!

Nux: No! I live, I die, I live again!

The Splendid Angharad: Hold him!

Capable: Tie him up!

Imperator Furiosa: Throw him out!

The Dag: Chuck him out!

Max Rockatansky: [to Furiosa] You got more friends.

Imperator Furiosa: Bullet Farmer. They're coming from the Bullet Farm.

Nux: It's over. You can't defy him!

[Furiosa spits at Nux, who spits back at Furiosa]

The Dag: Just watch us, mate!

Nux: He is the one who grabs the sun!

Toast: Look how slick he's fooled you, War Boy.

Capable: He's a lying old man.

Nux: By his hand, we'll be lifted up!

The Splendid Angharad: That's why we have his logo seared on our back! "Breeding stock"! "Battle fodder"!

Nux: No, I am awaited!

Capable: You're an old man's battle fodder, killing everyone and everything!

Nux: We're not to blame!

The Splendid Angharad: Then who killed the world?

[throws Nux off the War Rig]
