The Deer Hunter quotes

  • Michael: A deer has to be taken with one shot. I try to tell people that but they don't listen.

  • Nick: I sound like some asshole, right?

    Michael: I tell you, Nick, you're the only guy I go hunting with, you know. I like a guy with quick moves and speed. I ain't gonna hunt with no assholes.

    Nick: Well, who's an asshole?

    Michael: Who's an asshole? Who do you think is an asshole? They're all a bunch of assholes. I mean, I love 'em, they're great guys, but, you know, without you, I hunt alone. Seriously, that's what I'd do.

    Nick: You're a f*ckin' nut! You know that, Mike? You're a maniac. A control freak.

    Michael: I just don't like no surprises.
