Quotes
-
Kinderman : This I believe in... I believe in death. I believe in disease. I believe in injustice and inhumanity, torture and anger and hate... I believe in murder. I believe in pain. I believe in cruelty and infidelity. I believe in slime and stink and every crawling, putrid thing... every possible ugliness and corruption, you son of a bitch. I believe... in you.

Kinderman : My wife's mother is visiting, Father. And Tuesday night, she's cooking us a carp. It's a tasty fish, I've got nothing against it. But, because it's supposedly filled with impurities, she buys it live and for three days, it's been swimming... up and down... in my bathtub. Up and down... and I hate it. I can't stand the sight of it, moving its gills. Now, you're standing very close to me, Father; have you noticed? Yes. I haven't had a bath for three days. I can't go home until the carp is asleep because if I see it, swimming... I'll kill it.

Mrs. Clelia : My radio. Aren't you going to fix it? Nothing ever gets fixed round here. Just a whole bunch of pies and anchovies. Go away. I don't ever talk to strangers.
Kinderman : I'm the radio repairman, Mrs. Clelia.
Mrs. Clelia : Well then, fix it.
Kinderman : What's wrong with it?
Mrs. Clelia : Dead people talking. It's right here. Do you see it?
Kinderman : Yes. I see it.
Mrs. Clelia : I just knew you weren't really a radio repairman. That's a telephone I'm holding.

Kinderman : The whole world is a homicide victim, Father. Would a God who is good invent something like that? Plainly speaking, it's a lousy idea. It's not popular. It's not a winner.
Father Dyer : There you go, Blaming God.
Kinderman : Who should I blame? Phil Rizzuto?
Father Dyer : You wouldn't want to live forever.
Kinderman : Yes, I would.
Father Dyer : No, you wouldn't. You'd get bored.
Kinderman : I have hobbies. In the meantime, we have cancer and mongoloid babies and murderers, monsters prowling the planet, even prowling this neighborhood, Father... right now, while our children suffer... and our loved ones die, and your God goes waltzing blithely through the universe like some kind of cosmic Billie Burke.
Father Dyer : Bill, it all works out right.
Kinderman : When?
Father Dyer : At the end of time.
Kinderman : That soon?
Father Dyer : No. We're going to be there. We're going to live forever, Bill. We're spirits.
Kinderman : Oh, I would love to believe that.

Father Dyer : [in a hospital complaining that he's read all of the newspapers already] Now look, these are all last weeks editions. I've read every one of them. No, can't ya pick me something up?
Kinderman : My God, the grammar.

Kinderman : It is NOT in the file! It's NOT!

Kinderman : [alone in an empty room, half under his breath] Damian.

Kinderman : You make a lot of people nervous.
Father Dyer : Only sinners.
Kinderman : EVERYBODY!
Nurse Blaine : Is everything all right in here, guys?
Kinderman : WE'RE FINE!

Kinderman : You're reading Women's Wear Daily?
Father Dyer : So, what, I'm supposed to give spiritual advice in a vacuum?

Kinderman : And the autopsy?
Dr. Freedman : [Dubiously] Tomorrow...?
Kinderman : [Having raved about Macbeth] ... and tomorrow and tomorrow...
-
Kinderman : [After receiving a frustrating, unhelpful answer to a question, he says to himself] We're abandoned.

Kinderman : If you'll forgive me, I shall leave this mystical conversation, too much of asthetics, always gives me a headache.
-
Kinderman : The Gemini is dead.
The Gemini Killer : [the Gemini Killer screams] NO I AM NOT, I'M ALIVE. I GO ON, I BREATH. LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME. AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE.

Kinderman : And the autopsy?
Dr. Temple : [Tentatively] Tomorrow...?
Kinderman : [Sarcastically, having ranted abot MacBeth] ... and tomorrow, and tomorrow...
