Bear : I think you ought to turn around and head back to Miami.
Chili Palmer : So you're a stuntman, huh?
Bear : Yeah.

Bear : Am I any good?

[after Chili beats up Bear]
Chili Palmer : Bear, look at me. You tell your boss I don't ever want to see him again. And that means he's got to be nowhere near me, Karen, or Harry. You understand?
[Bear nods]
Chili Palmer : Okay, get up. What are you hanging around that guy for, anyway? I mean, you were in the movies, right? You were a stuntman. What's he ever done that he can talk about? You okay?
Bear : Not too bad.
Chili Palmer : How about when you fell down the stairs?
Bear : Pulled my quadriceps.
Chili Palmer : So how many movies you been in, anyway?
Bear : About sixty.
Chili Palmer : No shit. What were some of them?

Bo Catlett : You see how he just went over the rail like that? Maybe I could get Chili Palmer up here, and you could fix my balcony to give way like they do in the movies. I invite him to take a look at my view, he leans over the rail, pitches off the balcony into the sweet by-and-by...
Bear : Cat, that's the dumbest idea I've ever heard.
