Taxi Driver Edit

A Clark.

A cowboy, huh?

A cup of coffee, please.

A dollar eighty five.

A long, continuous chain.

A man who stood up against the scum...

A man.... A man takes a job, you know.

Ain't that a little honey?

All my life needed was a sense of some place to go.

All right, all right, I'm coming down there.

All right, I'll take it.

All right, let him through. Pull back.

All right. Let me see your chauffeur's licence.

All the animals come out at night.

All the king's men cannot put it back together again.

All the way back there?

An intelligent, interesting, fresh, fascinating man.

And do you have any Jujubes? They last longer. I'd like to get some Jujubes.

And I felt when I walked in, there was something between us.

And I know it will rise...

And I still don't own my own cab, you know. Why?

And I think you need something.

And I wanna do it.

And I'm g I'm gonna kill her.

And if you wanna call it a friend, you can call it a friend.

And it is time to let the people rule!

And many people are like that.

And that job...

And then perfume. The spray kind.

And then suddenly...

And they just like They just never go away, you know?

And we, the people, know the right roads and the good.

And when I came inside and met you...

Another guy dies, another guy gets well...

Anytime, anywhere.

Are you a narc?

Are you Charles Palantine, the candidate?

Are you feeling better or...?

Are you moonlighting?

Are you really 1 2 and a half?

At first she hesitated, but I called her again and she agreed.

Baby, I never wanted you to like what you're doing.

Be cool, bitch!

Because I don't want to. That must be what I want.

Because I think that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.

Because it's crowded on 57th.

Because she sent me over.

Because you'll be back for more.

Besides, I gotta stay here.

Betsy had coffee and a fruit salad dish.

Betsy what? I forgot to ask her last name.

Betsy, Betsy. Oh, no.

Betsy!

Betsy. Come here, come here.

Brock, please don't do this to me.

But I figure you've been around a lot, so you could....

But I just deal high quality goods to the right people.

But I was thinking maybe we could listen to it on your record player.

But if you should ever come to Pittsburgh...

But it's a good thing to have just as a threat.

But it's not gonna be easy.

But looks aren't everything.

But that's not my apartment.

But the organizational problems.

But we have taken steps to see...

But what do you think of Palantine?

But you can't allow him to do the same to other girls.

But, you know, in my fucking cab, don't go busting heads.

Cabbie, forget about this. It's nothing.

Cabbie, you see that light up there? The window?

Can I call you again?

Can I call you?

Can I talk to you at least? Won't you at least talk to me? I didn't know you'd

Can't you understand something?

Can't you understand why I'm here?

Catch you later, copper.

Coca Cola.

Come back anytime, cowboy.

Come on, man. Get me out of here, all right?

Come on!

Come on! Come on, let's go! Let's go! Move it!

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Just take a little break.

Come to me, baby.

Crazy son of a bitch! I'll kill you!

Damn it! Don't you wanna get out of here?

Damn, man!

Damn! I gotta remember stuff like that.

Damn.

Dear Father and Mother...

Dear Mr. Bickle:

Did I tell you to put ? Did I tell you to do that with the meter?

Did you ever see what a .44 Magnum pistol can do to a woman's face?

Did you ever see what it can do to a woman's pussy? You should.

Did you ever try looking at your own eyeballs in the mirror?

Did you get my flowers in the...?

Didn't you ever hear of women's lib?

Dig the symbols.

Do anything you want. Come on her...

Do I know you?

Do I know you?

Do I look like a narc?

Do you like the guy you work with?

Do you like where you work?

Do you see the light?

Do you see the woman in the window?

Do you want to or not?

Don't answer.

Don't make no difference to me.

Don't shoot him!

Don't start no trouble.

Don't try it, you fuck.

Don't worry about anyone committing themselves...

Don't worry so much. Relax, Killer, you're gonna be all right.

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

Don't you ever forget that.

Don't you have some idea?

Don't you wanna make it?

Doughboy'll do anything for a buck.

Driver, 48th and 6th, please.

Driver, hurry up, will you?

During World War II, they used this gun to replace the P 38.

Each night when I return the cab...

Eddie, the owner operator, comes up, he says, Hey, I wanna swap tyres.

Education?

F 4 0 5 4 3 4.

Fifteen dollars, 1 5 minutes. Twenty five dollars, half an hour.

Fifteen thousand volunteers in New York alone's not bad.

Fifty pull ups. There will be no more pills.

Figure I'm gonna do that, I might as well get paid for it.

First push the man, then the issue.

Five minutes, that's all. Just outside. Right around here.

For far too long, the wrong roads have been taken.

For far too long, the wrong roads have been taken.

For some lowlife pimp?

Forty dollars.

From now on, it'll be 50 pushups each morning.

From now on, it'll be total organization. Every muscle must be tight.

Fucking Mau Mau land.

Fucking son of a bitch!

Funny, you don't look hip.

Funny, you don't look hip.

Get back to your fucking tribe before you get hurt.

Get out of here. Come on, get lost.

Get the fuck out of here, man. Get out of here.

Get this. ln the middle of the Triborough Bridge

Give him some air!

Give me a break.

Go ahead, man. Have a good time.

Go ahead, man. Have a good time.

Go ahead. Give it a try.

Go ahead. Have yourself a good time. Go ahead, man.

Go out and get laid. Get drunk. You know, do anything.

God, it's good so close.

God! I don't know who's weirder, you or me.

Goddamn it!

Goddamn!

Good luck.

Got the money?

Harry, answer that.

He called you names. He called you a little piece of chicken.

He does He He doesn't mean it.

He is the lowest kind of person.

He looks like a killer to me.

He pulled you away.

He's a prophet and a pusher...

He's a prophet....

He's a what?

He's also a dope shooter.

He's funny, good at his job. He's okay. Though he does have a few problems.

He's okay.

He's the scum of the earth.

He's the worst...

Hello, Betsy.

Hello.

Henry, we'll get all the stuff right out to you.

Her name is Betsy, but I can tell you no more than that.

Here is a man who would not take it anymore.

Here is a man who would not take it anymore.

Here is someone who stood up.

Here you go, Travis. Keep the change.

Here you go.

Here, there, you know.

Here's a beautiful handmade holster I had made in Mexico.

Hey, cabbie, you can't park here.

Hey, don't be hitting my man!

Hey, guys.

Hey, I'm gonna get in my cab and boogie.

Hey, I'm not square. You're square.

Hey, look, I understand.

Hey, man! Don't take out no money over here.

Hey, Rodriguez!

Hey, Sport, how you doing?

Hey, Travis.

Hey, Travis. Got change for a nickel?

Hey, what kind of guns you guys carry?

Hey, Wiz, wait.

Hey, you wanna see something?

Hey, you're a Secret Service man, aren't you?

Hey!

Hey.

Hey.

Hi, it's Travis.

Hi, Melio.

His energy seems to go in the wrong places.

Holds eight shots in the clip.

Honourable discharge.

How about a Cadillac? A brand new Cadillac...

How about breakfast tomorrow?

How about dope? Grass? Hash? Coke?

How about just a cup of coffee?

How about that?

How can you stand it? I can't live without music.

How do you feel about the senator's stand on welfare?

How do you feel your campaign is going?

How do you like that?

How much I need you.

How much was it?

How old are you?

How you doing, Travis?

How's everything in the pimp business?

How's lris?

I ain't got a permit for this thing. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I am a narc.

I am healthy and well and making lots of money.

I am the man. I suffered.

I appreciate this, Betsy.

I believe that someone should become a person like other people.

I called Betsy again at her office. She said maybe we'd go to a movie...

I can get you crystal meth, nitrous oxide.

I can't afford to get stopped anywhere.

I can't do it.

I can't say how happy Mrs. Steensma and I were...

I can't sleep nights.

I could sell this gun to some jungle bunny in Harlem for $500.

I depend on you.

I did not forget sexy.

I didn't know that was the way you felt about it.

I didn't know you'd feel that way about this movie.

I didn't tell you to write. I just said, Pull over.

I do love him.

I don't believe l've ever met anyone quite like you.

I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self attention.

I don't care what I have to pay.

I don't care. Don't make no difference to me.

I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about.

I don't follow music too much, but I would really like to.

I don't get along with people like that.

I don't go screw and fuck with killers and junkies the way you do.

I don't have any more money, man.

I don't have anything better to do with my money.

I don't know much about them, but I can take you other places.

I don't know what his policies are, but I'm sure he'll make a good one.

I don't know why not a pigeon. Wait a minute.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. Okay, I tried.

I don't know. That's about the dumbest thing I ever heard.

I don't like my real name.

I don't like to be away from you either.

I don't like what I'm doing, Sport.

I don't mind the cab, but I mind...

I don't really know his stand on welfare, but I'm sure it's a good stand.

I don't remember that.

I don't think he respects you.

I don't want no trouble, okay?

I don't want you to take anything from them.

I drive by a lot, and I see you here.

I envy you, your youth.

I feel it is a groundswell. I know...

I first saw her at Palantine campaign headquarters at 63rd and Broadway.

I go all over. I take people to the Bronx, Brooklyn. I take them to Harlem.

I got a present for you.

I got my thumb back for a second. Thank God.

I got some bad ideas in my head. I just

I got this at his estate, The Pines.

I got....

I gotta get organized. Little things, like my apartment, my possessions.

I gotta get that New York Times article xeroxed.

I had black coffee and apple pie with a slice of melted yellow cheese.

I have a .44 Magnum pistol. I'm gonna kill her with that gun.

I have a break at 4:00. And if you're here

I hear Palantine got the nomination.

I hope no one has died. Don't worry about me.

I hope this card finds you all well, as it does me.

I just wanna go out...

I just wanna go out....

I just want you to know

I know a fella who can get you a real nice deal.

I know you must think that I'm, you know....

I know you will understand.

I know. I've seen a lot of people...

I love him so

I love you.

I mean, it'd fucking destroy it. Just blow it right apart.

I mean, you know, regularly. This is nothing for a person to do.

I might be going away for a while.

I must tell you that I am more optimistic now than ever before.

I never seen a commune before, but I don't know.

I never use mine. I'm conservative, you know.

I never would've had the courage to talk to you.

I noticed your little pin there. That's like a signal, isn't it?

I once had a horse. In Coney lsland.

I picked up this midget, you know.

I read about you in the papers. How are you?

I realise now how much she's just like the others, cold and distant.

I really wanna....

I really....

I said, what do you think of that?

I saw some suspicious looking people over there.

I saw you coming, you fuck.

I saw...

I say, I don't care what you do in the privacy...

I say, These are new tyres.

I see.

I shouldn't complain, though.

I suppose that ain't a .38 you've got in your sock.

I swear I'm clean. I'm just waiting here for a friend.

I swear if I get my hands on her, I'll kill that fucking bitch!

I tell everybody that comes in this taxi they have to vote for you.

I think I understand.

I think it's a total of 5000 campaign buttons.

I think that Cancers make the best lovers...

I think that my programmes are better defined than his.

I think that the president should just...

I think that was a good selection.

I think you're a lonely person.

I took Betsy to Charles' Coffee Shop on Columbus Circle.

I took them into Manhattan by way of Long Beach, tipped me $5.

I tried several times to call her...

I tried to get into your cab...

I turn on the radio. Some fleet driver from Bell just got all cut up.

I turn on the radio. Some fleet driver from Bell just got all cut up.

I want you to see that woman because that's my wife.

I was gonna put one of your stickers in my taxi...

I was in the Marine Corps, you know.

I was in the Marine Corps, you know.

I was in the Marines too.

I was there. Today I say to you:

I was thinking of my telephone number.

I will.

I wish you'd have listened to this.

I wish you'd have listened to this.

I won't say anything.

I would certainly, if it came to it, prefer him...

I would have, except my record player doesn't work now.

I would say he has quite a few problems.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't.

I'd be broke if I hadn't caught me some people from Ohio out at Kennedy.

I'd be lost without you.

I'd like to know what your name is. What's your name?

I'd rather volunteer to her, if you don't mind.

I'll give it a try.

I'll just leave them.

I'll kill her, goddamn it! I'm gonna get my hands on her, I'll kill her!

I'll kill her! Damn it!

I'll kill her! Damn it!

I'll kill you! I'll fucking kill you!

I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

I'll move up to one of them communes in Vermont.

I'll play the male in this relationship

I'll see you. I guess....

I'll take these.

I'll work anytime, anywhere.

I'm a big supporter.

I'm a Libra too. That's why we get along so well.

I'm clean, man.

I'm doing something for the government.

I'm faster than you, you fucking sick

I'm God's lonely man.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

I'm gonna go dig my dirt.

I'm gonna kill her with a .44 Magnum pistol.

I'm good with crowds.

I'm no cop, man.

I'm no pusher. I've never pushed.

I'm not a cop. I ain't a

I'm not the one who wants to talk.

I'm shoving on.

I'm sorry I can't remember the exact dates...

I'm standing here. You make the move.

I'm sure he'll make a good president.

I'm sure you want to know about lris.

I'm sure you'll win. Everybody I know's gonna vote for you.

I'm the ? I'm square? You're the one that's square, man.

I'm there to protect you.

I'm timing you too.

I'm very observant.

I'm waiting for the sun to shine. Yeah.

I've been a cabbie for 1 7 years. Ten years at night.

If a thief screws up on the job, they'll blow his fingers off.

If Andy okays this canvass report, send a copy to all headquarters.

If he had been ltalian, he might've been a thief. The mob does that.

If they kill a stool pigeon, they leave a canary on the body.

If you ever liked what you were doing, you wouldn't be my woman.

If you wanna save yourself some money, don't fuck her.

If you're dumb enough to put a round there.

If you're gonna break my chops, you can take it on the arches.

In bars, in cars...

In California, when two fags split up, one's gotta pay the other one alimony.

In conclusion...

In the eyes of God, we are married.

In which case, for you, l'd recommend...

Iris? Come on, get out of here, man.

Iris.

Is it hard to get to be in the Secret Service?

Is there a zip code?

It can happen. Yeah.

It does to some. Some won't even take spooks.

It is a place where many roads and many lives intersect.

It is appropriate that we meet here today...

It's a beautiful gun.

It's a Colt .25 automatic. It's a nice little gun.

It's a little hard standing here and asking you, so....

It's a long hustle, but it keeps me real busy.

It's a premium, high resale weapon.

It's a real monster.

It's getting harder and harder, and it's throbbing now.

It's got a really nice action to it and a heck of a wallop.

It's just that I got a.... I got a....

It's nickel plated with a snub nose...

It's not Bertrand Russell, but what do you want? I'm a cabbie.

It's not my apartment. You know who lives there, huh?

It's not really jail. Of course, living with his wife, anything would be jail.

It's only you that keeps me together.

It's pretty slow.

It's real clean, like my conscience.

It's your move.

Jesus Christ, I got a taxi.

Just a little stiffness. That's all.

Just a minute.

Just given out to officers.

Just waiting for the senator.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Ladies and gentlemen...

Let me have it. Give me the bread.

Let me hold you.

Let me tell you, I have learned more about America...

Let's not fight.

Listen to you. You sound like you're selling mouthwash.

Listen, I think we should've waited for the limo.

Listen, l....

Listen, mister, it's your time. Fifteen minutes ain't long.

Listen, we better make it or Sport'll get mad.

Listen, you fuckers, you screwheads.

Listen, you fuckers, you screwheads.

Loneliness has followed me my whole life, everywhere.

Look at that.

Look at that. That's a beautiful little gun.

Look at that. That's a beauty.

Look at the size of that. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Look at this.

Look over there.

Look, don't come around here, because I'll call the police!

Look, I was stoned.

Look, I'm calling the cop. Officer!

Look, if you're really interested, if you give me your name and address...

Look, Sport never treated me bad. He didn't beat me up once.

Look, we'll make it real simple.

Look, you can tell me what your name is. I'm not gonna do anything.

Look.

Look. Look at it this way.

Love, Travis.

Man, you are gorgeous! Beautiful little girl.

May 1 973.

May 26th, 4:00 p.m.

Maybe you had a virus or something. A 24 hour virus, you know.

Mescaline? Downers? Nembutal? Tuinal? Chloral hydrates?

Military record?

More or less, you know?

Mr. Goodman is a fine man.

My life has taken another turn again.

My man is loaded. Loaded.

My name is Henry...

My name is Travis.

My uncle's in jail because of that.

No longer will we, the people, suffer for the few.

No more will we fight the wars of the few...

No, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't you remember me?

No, he got cut up by some crazy fucker. Cut half his ear off.

No, I don't know nobody named lris.

No, I don't wanna make it. I wanna help you.

No, I mean, you wouldn't know. But you know who lives there?

No, I'm gonna Okay, yeah, sure. Okay.

No, it's....

No, just the part about the contradictions.

No, man. I'll take care of it. Go ahead.

No, no, don't Don't Don't

No, no. This is a movie that a lot of couples come to.

No, the dude he was chasing. Fucking cops, they chase anything.

No?

No.

Not bad. They're way ahead out there, you know? California.

Not rouge. Blush on, they call it.

Not that I don't like him, I just think he's silly.

Nothing that is right and good has ever been easy.

Now back to Gene Krupa's syncopated style shortly.

Now he's getting a divorce anyway.

Now I see it clearly. My whole life has pointed...

Now, all the ones we had before and our slogan is:

Now, bitch, be cool!

Now, come on! Come on, don't make no scene.

Now, going back to 40 years of Chick Webb.

Now, I would lie to you if I told you the new roads would be easy.

Now? Ride around nights mostly. Subways, buses.

O R G A N E Z I E Z D.

O'Brien, please step up.

Officer!

Officer.

Oh, it looks so good.

Oh, it was nothing, really. I got over that.

Oh, lris. My name is Travis.

Oh, my name is Travis. Betsy?

Oh, no. We wouldn't want that to happen.

Oh, well, 6 1 0 4 5.

Oh, well, there must be something.

Oh, you're quick. You're really quick.

Okay, just a minute. All right.

Okay, okay, my man. How ?

Okay, okay.

Okay, pull over to the kerb over there. Right over to the kerb. Over there.

Okay, shut your fucking mouth and give me the cash out the drawer. Come on!

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Can I have a Chuckles there?

Okay. See you tomorrow.

Okay. Thanks, man.

One day there will be a knock on the door and it'll be me.

One guy lives in Brooklyn, one guy lives in Sutton Place.

Organiz ized.

Organiz ized. It's a joke.

Otherwise, I never would've felt that I had the right to talk to you.

Our deepest thanks, Burt and lvy Steensma.

Our marriage?

Over there. Get that man.

Palantine, the man you're volunteering to help elect president.

Palantine.

Phillip wants to marry me, Brock.

Piece of Errol Flynn's bathtub.

Please, just leave. This is no place to do this.

Put it That's right. Put it Put it down!

Put the meter back. Let the numbers go on.

Put the thing down. Just sit.

Remember when you got into a taxi? lt was a chequered taxi.

Right? I bet you really think I'm sick, right?

Right? You must think I'm pretty sick?

Say, you're blocking our doorway. You think you might move your cab?

See you, Travis.

Senator Palantine is a dynamic man.

She appeared like an angel...

She could've had anything she wanted.

She got hit by a car.

She is alone.

She says, lt's love. I'm gonna fuck her brains out.

She was wearing a white dress.

She'll get your cock so hard, she'll make it explode.

She's 1 2 and a half years old. You ain't never had no pussy like that.

She's back in school and working hard.

Shit, man.

Shit, man.

Shit, man. What the hell's the matter with you?

Shit.

Shit.

Shitheel!

Shoot, goddamn it! Fucker!

Shoot, that's why they call me the Wizard.

Shut the fuck up.

Sick, venal.

So how's it hanging?

So I tell them to get out of the cab.

So long, lris. See you tomorrow.

So long.

So that gave me the right to talk to you.

So they just...

So, what do you do now?

So, what do you wanna hack for, Bickle?

So, what is it?

So, what's so important?

Some nights, I clean off the blood.

Some of these guns are like toys.

Some.

Somebody's got to do something to him.

Sometimes even more when I do it off the meter.

Sometimes I can hardly take it.

Sometimes I go out and I smell it. I get headaches, it's so bad.

Sometimes I like to hold a midget.

Sorry, sir, I didn't mean that.

Spend it right.

Sport never killed nobody.

Stands in a hall.

Stickup?

Stop a car at 1 00 yards, put a round right through the engine block.

Stop taking so long. Come on!

Stop!

Suck on this.

Sure. You know what you remind me of?

Sweet lris.

Take the car out through 58th Street, please.

Taking me to a place like this is as exciting to me as saying, Let's fuck.

Taxi life, you mean?

Taxi!

Thank you, Tom.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Night.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks a lot, Travis.

Thanks a lot. Hey, great. Thanks a lot. Hell. Jesus.

Thanks.

That .38, that's a funny gun.

That .38, you go out and hammer nails with it all day...

That bitch, goddamn! I'll blow her brains out!

That fellow, I don't like him.

That one, the one that's sitting there.

That reads, We are the people. Well, I think there's a difference.

That taxi driver's been staring at us.

That'll stop anything that moves.

That's a beautiful little gun. Look at that.

That's a nice gun.

That's all right. I got money.

That's it. You're a Scorpion. I can tell every time.

That's nice, man. All right. That's all right.

That's nice. What can I do for you?

That's right.

That's the greatest single experience of my life.

That's what it can do to her face.

That's what you think.

That's why they stopped me.

The cab thing is just part time.

The cops don't do nothing. You know that.

The days go on and on. And they don't end.

The days move along with regularity, over and over...

The fifth motherfucker this year!

The fucking meter. What are you doing?

The guy at the newsstand can do it.

The headaches got worse. I think I got stomach cancer.

The idea had been growing in my brain for some time.

The light? The window in the second floor.

The Magnum, they use that in Africa for killing elephants.

The one that's closest to the edge of the building.

The papers always blow these things up.

The people are beginning to rule.

The room'll cost you 1 0 bucks.

The smell of the flowers only made me sicker.

The thing is, I drive a taxi at night, so it's kind of hard for me...

The transition has been very hard for her...

The wrong roads have led us into war, into poverty...

Then I pick up these two fags. They're going downtown.

Then she gave me a $200 tip and her phone number in Acapulco.

Then what exactly do you want?

Then why are you asking me for action?

Then you haven't played this record yet?

There are other places I can take you.

There is no way we can repay you...

There never has been any choice for me.

There was an impulse that we were both following.

There'll be a big tip in it for you, you do the right things.

There's no escape.

There's nothing else. I'm gonna kill her.

There's one person...

They hate me.

They trying to get in the picture.

They were just here.

They were very, very....

They will not be easy.

They will not be easy.

They...

They're a bunch ofjerks.
