Emile Hirsch: Francis Doyle
Quotes
-
Margie Flynn : Francis, tell me the most amazing thing you've ever heard.
Francis Doyle : [pause] There's this fish that lives at the bottom of the ocean and it has a spine sticking out of its head to lure prey. The females are the glowing ones and the males are smaller. After the male fish hatch, they bite onto a female, like parasites. But after a while they grow into each other and share the same blood and everything... They turn into one single fish.
Margie Flynn : Wow... that's really weird.
-
Tim : I burned all the skin off my hands. I can barely curl my fingers now.
Francis Doyle : There goes your sex life.

Tim : Alright, seems like the perfect spot for deciding what you really want in life.

Tim : No, I'm talking about what you really want right now, like revenge on the one legged bitch in black and white!

Tim : Shit. I knew it, Margie Flynn.

[last lines]
Francis Doyle : [reading from William Blake's The Tygre] Tyger Tyger, burning bright, / In the forests of the night; / What immortal hand or eye, / Could frame thy fearful symmetry? / In what distant deeps or skies. / Burnt the fire of thine eyes? / On what wings dare he aspire? / What the hand, dare seize the fire? / And what shoulder, & what art, / Could twist the sinews of thy heart? / When the stars threw down their spears / And water'd heaven with their tears: / Did he smile his work to see? / Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Francis Doyle : ["Not everyone has to make up trouble for themselves, just so they're not bored!"]
Tim : ["at least I'm doing something. What are you doing, Francis? What exactly do you do?... Have you done anything with Margie yet?"]
Francis Doyle : ["You don't know anything about that!"]
Tim : ["Oh, so you haven't done anything with Margie. Maybe I'll just write her another note, so that you can have a lot more time doing shit like this!"]
