Quotes 

• Roach : [after robbing a bank disguised as Nixon quoting his famous phrase]  I am not a crook!

• Bodhi : It's basic dog psychology, if you scare them and get them peeing down their leg, they submit. But if you project weakness, that promotes violence, and that's how people get hurt.

  Roach : Peace, through superior firepower.

• Nathanial : You acted like nothing happened.

  Bodhi : Relax, Nathanial.

  Nathanial : [shouting]  Don't tell me to relax Bodhi! He's a fuckin' federal agent!

  Roach : I should've shot him when I had a chance.

  Grommet : I feel like running.

  Rosie : You do and you die.

  Bodhi : Did you know that we've hit thirty banks in three years and they weren't able to touch us, and all this does is raise the stakes of the game.

  Grommet : [nervously shouting]  Fuck the stakes Bodhi! The only one that thinks that this is a game is you, man. This is real. This is serious shit, and I am scared.

  Bodhi : What's the matter with you guys? This was never about the money, this was about us against the system. That system that kills the human spirit. We stand for something. To those dead souls, inching along the freeways in their metal coffins, we show them that the human sprit is still alive. Don't worry about this guy, okay? I know exactly what to do with him.

• Roach : Hey man, I'm cold. Really cold.

  Bodhi : Here's your jacket.

  [helps Roach put his jacket on] 

  Bodhi : Johnny, hand me that bag of money.

  Johnny Utah : [getting the bag]  You're cold because all of the blood is running out of your body, Roach. You're gonna be dead soon. I hope it was worth it.

  Bodhi : Don't listen to him, he's just scared.

  [helps Roach put his parachute pack on] 

  Roach : What the fuck are you looking at?

• Roach : [his feeling about jumping with parachutes]  Sex with gods, you can't beat that!

• Roach : [dying]  I'll see you in hell, Johnny!

  [cackles] 

  Roach : [Bodhi shoves Roach out of the plane]  Woahh!

• Johnny Utah : So what's the biggest waves? Waimea?

  Bodhi : No. Bells Beach, Australia.

  Grommet : No way Bells is bigger than Waimea, bro.

  Bodhi : It will be next year.

  Roach : Bodhi believes the 50-year storm is coming next year. That's kind of a legend.

  Bodhi : No, it's real. It's absolutely real. Everything moves in cycles. So, twice a century, the ocean let's us know just how small we really are. A storm comes out of Antarctica, tearing up the Pacific, and it sends a huge swell north 2,000 miles. And when it hits Bells Beach, it'll turn into the biggest surf this planet has ever seen. And I will be there.
