Mickey Rourke: Edmund

Quotes 

• Edmund : There will be no more stupidity. There will be no more mistakes. It's a new day. God help you all.

• Edmund : They didn't get a big star. Big stars think it's too dangerous here. Big stars - they like doing benefits; but, only if the benefits are being held in places where they won't get shot at. Man, let me ask you. Have you ever met any big stars with a set of nuts? Huh? With any big balls? Any God damn brains and charisma? No? No? My man, big stars they like - they like it safe. They don't like to put their life on the line for a cause that they don't understand. I mean, who does, huh?

• Edgar : Did you hear who the headliner is?

  Edmund : Look, I like Beethoven - and Stravinsky. Schubert's really good. Modern music doesn't do much for me. And, quite frankly, it doesn't do much for the President, either.

  Edgar : Well, at least it's not some banjo player.

• Edmund : You know how it is, Jack. When inferior people want to revolt, they do. And when they become equal, they want to be superior.

• Jack Fate : I remember your Ma. A wonderful lady. She used to ask permission before she did anything.

  Edmund : Yeah, before she'd cut a leaf off a flower, she'd ask permission.

  Jack Fate : Couldn't wash away the real dirt, though.

  Edmund : Nah, nobody could.

• Edmund : The President is dead.

  Jack Fate : [singing]  I'm beginning to hear voices and there's no one around, I'm all used up and I feel so turned-around, I went to church on Sunday and she passed by, And my love for her is taking such a long time to die, And I'm waist deep in the mist, It's almost like, I don't even exist...
