St. Vincent (2014)

Ocinski: Hey, uh, your dad the one that taught you how to fight?
Oliver: No, my babysitter.

Oliver: Sorry, Vin, for your loss.
Vincent: Never understood... wh-wh-why people say that.
Oliver: They don't know what else to say.
Vincent: How about, "What was she like?" "Do you miss her?" Or "What are you gonna do now?"

Terry: It is what it is.
Vincent: "It is what it is"? Everyone's saying that now. You know what it means? You're screwed, and you shall remain screwed.

Vincent: A lady of the night.
Oliver: What's that?
Vincent: It's one of the more honest ways to make a living.

Vincent: Don't ever become a pencil-pusher kid, they're spineless.

Zucko: Come on, Vinny! Why do you always have to do things the hard way?
Vincent: It's more interesting.
Zucko: And a lot more painful.

Vincent: You never seen Abbott and Costello?
Oliver: No, sir. Are they old?
Vincent: No. They're dead. That's the oldest you can be.
Oliver: Or the youngest. Time freezes when you're dead.

Oliver: He's paying me hourly.
Vincent: I'm showing him how the world works. You work, you get paid, you drink.
Maggie: You're drinking alcohol?
Vincent: ...I honestly don't remember.

Vincent: You got any money?
Oliver: Yes sir, $7.
Vincent: What is that, lunch money?
Oliver: Yes sir.
Vincent: Well, you might as well the hard way.

Daka: My water is broken.
Vincent: Call a plumber.
