Best Quotes


 

Maria: [over phone] Thank you for taking the job on such short notice.
Ladybug: I am ready. You are getting the new and improved me. Since I’ve been working with Barry, I am experiencing a calm like never before. Never. Like, I’m less reactive to situations, I’m more accepting of people’s shortcomings. I was a little uncertain about coming back to work, but it’s like Barry says, “You put peace out in the world, you get peace back.”
Maria: I think your new therapist might be forgetting what you do for a living, little Ladybug.


 

Ladybug: [over phone] Oh, I see what you’re doing. Ladybugs are supposed to be lucky.
Maria: You don’t have bad luck.
Ladybug: Really? My bad luck is biblical. I’m not even trying to kill people and someone dies.
Maria: That’s an exaggeration.


 

Ladybug: [over phone] I’m filling in for Carver? You picked me second to Carver?
Maria: You said you wanted simple for your first job back. Doesn’t get simpler.


 

Maria: [over phone] I’m going to assume you didn’t take the gun?
Ladybug: Barry says every conflict is an opportunity for a peaceful, what was it?
Maria: And your handler says some conflicts require a gun.

Ladybug: You know, I’m thinking of starting my own agency. You know, all simple jobs, all the time.
Maria: That’s a terrible business plan.
Ladybug: No more sociopaths. No more maniacs. Just quality people. Barry says it’s time for some change. I think he’s right.
Maria: Barry does not know what you do for a living.


 

Tangerine: [referring to stealing the biscuits] Why did I do that? It’s like I got a compulsion or something. I have to take it if I see it.
Lemon: Need to talk to someone. Serious.
Tangerine: A goldfish biscuit? I mean, I don’t understand it.


 

Ladybug: Okay, simple snatch and grab. What am I snatching and, or grabbing?
Maria: A briefcase. Intel says there’s a train sticker on the handle.
Ladybug: Briefcases have owners. Owners are not simple.


 

Ladybug: Why didn’t you tell me to bring that gun?
Maria: I did. You chose spiritual enlightenment.

 

'A negative outlook leads to a negative outcome.' - Ladybug (Bullet Train) Share on X

 

Ladybug: So, what’s in this case?
Maria: Are we doing this? You know what’s in the case.
Ladybug: Money. It’s always money.


 

Tangerine: Tangerines are sophisticated.
Lemon: Oh, now he’s calling a fruit sophisticated.
Tangerine: Yeah, it’s cross-hybridized with other fruit. They’re adaptable. Like me.


 

Lemon: And why am I Lemon?
Tangerine: Because you’re sour. No one likes lemons.
Lemon: That’s b****cks, mate. Lemonades. Lemon drops.
Tangerine: You got a sore throat?
Lemon: Lemon meringue pie.
Tangerine: When was the last time you ate a lemon meringue pie?
Lemon: Lemon drizzle cake.
Tangerine: I’m sorry, are you talking about lemons?


 

Ladybug: [after getting the case] What’s the catch?
Maria: There is no catch.
Ladybug: There’s always a catch.
Maria: Get off the train.

Lemon: You ever watch Thomas the Tank Engine?
Tangerine: Here we go.
Lemon: Hey, you watch something nowadays, what is it, huh? Nothing. It’s twists, violence, drama, no message. What’s the point? Huh? What are we supposed to learn? Everything I learned about people I learned from Thomas.


 

Lemon: Take Tangerine here. He’s a Gordon, this blue one. And Gordon is the strongest, the most important, but he doesn’t always listen to others.
Tangerine: What’s that, now?


 

Lemon: [to the Son] I mean, some people are Edwards, wise, kind. Some are Henrys, hardworking, and strong. Some people are Diesels. F*** me! Those are trouble. You, though, yeah, you seem like a Percy. Young. Sweet. Not all there.


 

Lemon: Looks like it’s time for a Jaffa Cake.
Tangerine: How about a Wagon Wheel?
Lemon: Oh, that works.

 

'Not twins. Loonies, but not twins.' - Ladybug (Bullet Train) Share on X

 

Tangerine: Well, what would Thomas the Tank Engine say, Lemon?
Lemon: That’s really mean.
Tangerine: He’d say, “Hey, take responsibility, mate.”
Lemon: He doesn’t sound like that.


 

Maria: Are you nervous?
Ladybug: Yeah, I’m nervous.
Maria: You sound nervous.
Ladybug: Because I am, in fact, nervous.


 

Tangerine: Do you know what they call your papushka?
The Son: Of course I f***ing do.
Lemon: The White Death. Not exactly a fruit.


 

Ladybug: This is too easy.
Maria: You’re over thinking it.
Ladybug: You’re under thinking it.
Maria: It’s not a word.
Ladybug: Yes, it is.
Maria: Really?
Ladybug: I think it is.
Maria: Did you Google it?

 

'I don't mean to interrupt what's going on here, but you wouldn't happen to have seen a tiny white p**ck with a pair of glasses come through here, have you?' - Lemon (Bullet Train) Share on X

 

Maria: What would Barry say?
Ladybug: Barry would say, “A negative outlook leads to a negative outcome.”
Maria: Wow. How much do you pay him again?


 

The Son: [to Tangerine] He doesn’t need a reason to kill people like you. He needs a reason not to. Does he have one?


 

Tangerine: [after losing the briefacse with the money] Three words describe our situation right now. Do you know what they are?
Lemon: Sure do. Saved his son. Family’s more important than money, right?

 

'Make sure you do something that brings you peace, because everything else is a pain in the a**.' - Ladybug (Bullet Train) Share on X

 

Tangerine: So, let me put this bluntly. There’s this soulless psychotic leader with the largest criminal organization on the planet shoved right inside our f***ing a** cheeks.
Lemon: That m**herf***er’s definitely a Diesel then, isn’t he?
Tangerine: If you mention Thomas the Tank Engine one more time, I’m going to shoot you in the f***ing face.


 

Tangerine: He asked for pros who wouldn’t f*** up. Three words, Lemon. We are…
Lemon: F***ed.


 

Prince: People think that I’m just some young girl. Someone’s future wife, or future mother. But I’m not in someone else’s story. You’re all in mine.

 

'Everything that's ever happened to you has led you here. Fate.' - The Elder, 'Well, that's a s**t deal.' - Ladybug (Bullet Train) Share on X

 

Tangerine: You still got that vest on you?
Lemon: Oh, no. Vests give you a false sense of security. You might like get shot in the neck.
Tangerine: Yeah, it also stops you from getting shot in the chest. But I guess you missed that episode of Thomas, did you?
Lemon: I really must have, because that sounds dark as s**t. Nut up or shut up, bruv.


 

Lemon: First his wife, now his son? That’s a lot of white deaths.


 

Ladybug: You stabbed me?
Wolf: You ruined my life.
Ladybug: I don’t even know you!

 

'When we are so quick to anger, we are slow to understand.' - Ladybug (Bullet Train) Share on X

 

Ladybug: [as they’re fighting] Can we just take a time-out here? Talk this out?
Wolf: I will never stop coming for you.
Ladybug: What?


 

Wolf: Run as far as you like. I will find you.
Ladybug: Why?
Wolf: And I will ruin your life the way you ruined mine.
Ladybug: Dude, I don’t even know you!


 

Ladybug: [after Wolf is killed by his own knife] Let this be a lesson in the toxicity of anger.

 

'We prepare together, or we die alone.' - The Elder (Bullet Train) Share on X

 

Tangerine: You see the case, deal with whoever has it.
Lemon: Alright, how do I do that? Talk to him, or like talk to him?
Tangerine: I don’t know. Why don’t you tell him about the story about how Gordon met Percy, and how Percy’s now bleeding from his f***ing eye sockets?!


 

Annoyed Passenger: Well, excuse me.
Lemon: You are f***ing excused.


 

Ladybug: [over phone] I missed my stop.
Maria: Why?
Ladybug: Because God hates me.
Maria: No, she doesn’t.

 

'If you do not control your fate, it will control you.' - White Death (Bullet Train) Share on X

 

Maria: [over phone] Get off at the next stop.
Ladybug: Ah, it sounds so easy when you say it.


 

Ladybug: The guy who stabbed me. I spilled wine on his suit. He’s dead now.
Maria: You killed the Wolf?
Ladybug: It was an accident. I’m really going to have to process my part in the incident on Monday.


 

Ladybug: Remember those two wackos from the Bolivia job? Killed all those people?
Maria: The Twins?
Ladybug: Yeah, I’m not so sure they’re twins.
Maria: Stop it. Everyone knows they’re twins.

 

'Maybe there's no bad luck, or good luck. Maybe we're all just agents of fate.' - Ladybug (Bullet Train) Share on X

 

Maria: Well, now we know who the owners of the case are.
Ladybug: See, this is exactly what I’m talking about. We have to have a hard discussion about the caliber of people we are surrounding ourselves with.


 

Ladybug: There’s a gun under this…
Lemon: Shh. Woh. This is the quiet car. Got to use your small inside voice in here, son.

Ladybug: You know, I’ve done a lot of personal work since Joburg. I’ve forgiven. I’ve moved on. I’ve learned that with any potential conflict, there’s an opportunity for growth, a path to a peaceful outcome.


 

Ladybug: Here’s the plan. I give you back your case, you don’t kill me. You give your case to your employer, he doesn’t kill you. You’re alive, I’m alive, everyone’s happy. Win-win, don’t you think?
Lemon: How do you know whoever hired you won’t kill you for failing your job? Lose-lose. No happy.

Lemon: It’s like Thomas the Tank Engine always says, “Simple is better.”
Ladybug: The kids show?
Lemon: Yes, the f***ing kid… Man, I learned everything about people from Thomas. Everything.

Ladybug: I am not a Diesel.
Lemon: You’re the Diesel-est Diesel that ever f***ing Diesel-ed, that I’ve ever seen in my life, man.
Ladybug: Not even close.
Lemon: Because Diesels bluff, they go too far.
Ladybug: Man, I’m trying to get Diesels out of my life, you know?


 

Annoyed Passenger: [as she shushes them] I’ll call the conductor!
Ladybug: Eat a bag of d**ks, lady. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m working on it.


 

Ladybug: [to the unconscious Lemon] I’m not a Diesel. You’re a Diesel.

Tangerine: What are you thinking?
Lemon, Tangerine: The ol’ Punch and Judy.

Lemon: Thomas still taught me how to see people, read them for real.
Tangerine: Yeah.
Lemon: And I’m never wrong, am I?
Tangerine: No.
Lemon: Glasses, he is not our guy.
Tangerine: Okay. You shoot first and come up with the answers later.
Lemon: I always do.


 

Lemon: Oh, man. When this train’s a-rocking, don’t come a-knocking, right?


 

Maria: Are you hiding in a bathroom?
Ladybug: Yeah. Have you tried these smart toilets? They’re a pleasure to the senses. If I had one in the chamber, I would rock this bad boy right now.
Maria: Boundaries. We need boundaries.


 

Maria: Oh, my God. Did you just say “whack”?
Ladybug: I did. I’m bringing it back.
Maria: No, it needs to stay where it was.


 

Tangerine: [as they’re fighting, the train hostess enters to offer them a drink] Oh, no, thank you. We’re okay.
Ladybug: Oh, I would love a bottle of water. You know what? Do you have anything sparkling? With bubbles? That’s the one. Thank you. Domo arigato.


 

Ladybug: [after the hostess leaves] Are you sure you don’t want to talk this out?
Tangerine: Not particularly. No.
Ladybug: Okay.
[tosses the water bottle at Tangerine’s head]


 

Ladybug: [as they’re fighting] I know who killed the kid.
Tangerine: Yeah? Where the f*** is he then?
Ladybug: He’s on the train!
Tangerine: Oh, well, that narrows it down then, don’t it?


 

Tangerine: For what it’s worth, you seem like a right f***ing a**hole, and I’m glad you’re going to f***ing die with me.
Ladybug: That’s nice.


 

Lemon: Sorry. Pardon me, I don’t mean to interrupt what’s going on here, but you wouldn’t happen to have seen a tiny white p**ck with a pair of glasses come through here, have you?


 

Ladybug: Me, I’m getting off. I’m going to go find a temple and reevaluate my choices or something.


 

Ladybug: You know, before us now is just a wall, but it’s an illusion, man. It’s a construct. You know, because within that wall sits a window. A window of opportunity. Dammit, it’s a door. Within that wall is a door.
Tangerine: I’m finding it very hard to follow this story.
Ladybug: My point is, that door is closing.
[suddenly kicks Tangerine off the train]


 

Lemon: Sometimes you got to shoot first and come up with answers later.


 

The Hornet: [as she’s trying to inject him] One little prick, and you know what happens?
Ladybug: Yes!
The Hornet: Your blood congeals, clotting your veins. You bleed out of your f***ing eye socket.
Ladybug: I said, “Yes!”


 

The Hornet: I was promised my money.
Ladybug: By who?
The Hornet: I don’t know. It was all online. They said my money was in the case.
Ladybug: What? Someone paid you to have the kid killed with his own ransom? Wow. That’s dark.


 

Ladybug: [to the Hornet, who’s dying, referring to the anitvenom] You don’t have another one? You got to be better prepared. I’m mansplaining. I’m mansplaining again. I’m sorry.


 

Ladybug: Karma is a b**ch.


 

Maria: You need to get up.
Ladybug: How do you always know what I’m doing?
Maria: Because I know you.
Ladybug: I could journal. I should journal.


 

Tangerine: [to Prince] Diesel. The absolutely f***ing worst. Little s**t-stirrer. See, Lemon, God rest his soul, was the don, and he could read people. See them for who they really are. He was right. There’s been a Diesel running up and down this train, causing all sorts of f***ing havoc. And it was you the whole f***ing time, you dirty little Diesel! You made Lemon bleed. And Lemon never bleeds.


 

Ladybug: [to Prince] You got your whole life ahead of you. Make sure you do something that brings you peace, because everything else is a pain in the a**. And if you run into a guy named Carver, he’s a d**k. You can tell him I said so.


 

Ladybug: [to the Elder] You’re creeping me out. So, if you don’t mind, could you just find another seat like way, way, way down there? And that way, I won’t have to tell you twice.


 

The Elder: [referring to Prince] Her intentions with you were not honorable.
Ladybug: Yeah.
The Elder: A blind man could see you are the one in the dark.
Ladybug: I don’t know about a blind man. She was pretty convincing. What did you do to her?
The Elder: I did not need to do anything. Fate will do what it wills.


 

The Elder: Why do you laugh at fate?
Ladybug: Man, fate for me is just another word for bad luck. And that follows me around like, I don’t know, something witty.


 

The Elder: I’m going to tell you a story now.
Ladybug: No, I’m good.
The Elder: It’s short.
Ladybug: Really, I’m fine.
The Elder: No. It’s very quick.
Ladybug: No. No.
The Elder: It’s a good story for you I think.
Ladybug: I’m cool.
The Elder: Here we go.


 

The Elder: Everything that’s ever happened to you has led you here. Fate.
Ladybug: Well, that’s a s**t deal.


 

Ladybug: [referring to Lemon] Well, he seemed like a decent guy.
Kimura: He shot me.
Ladybug: Me too. Twice. Still, he had another side to him.


 

Lemon: [to the dead Tangerine] You were more like Thomas anyway.


 

Ladybug: When we are so quick to anger, we are slow to understand.
Lemon: Yeah, well, I’m fast to kick your a** though, I swear to God.


 

Ladybug: [to Lemon] When you point a finger at someone in blame, there are four fingers pointing back at you. Or three. That’s weird.


 

Ladybug: We before me!


 

The Elder: A plum does not resent the hungry man, but the farmer who planted the tree.
Ladybug: He resents the farmer?
Lemon: So how do plums have f***ing resentments now?
Ladybug: Oh. So how can it resent?
The Elder: Listen. The White Death is the farmer.
Ladybug: So we’re the plums. We’re the plums?
Lemon: It don’t make sense! Why are you m**herf***ers using metaphors?


 

The Elder: We prepare together, or we die alone.
Ladybug: That’s all I was trying to say.


 

Ladybug: Hurt people hurt people.


 

Prince: [to White Death] I came here to kill you. So kill me. Kill me like you did all the others who tried the same. Do it.


 

White Death: I brought you on this train hoping you’d kill each other.


 

Ladybug: I don’t want to sound judgmental, but if you hired the Hornet, you had your own kid killed?
White Death: Oh, yes.
Ladybug: Okay.
White Death: Oh, yes. I did. The piece of s**t.


 

White Death: If you do not control your fate, it will control you. So I took control. I brought them all here to die.


 

The Elder: [to White Death] Our paths were destined to return to each other.


 

Ladybug: You can stop the train.
Lemon: About that. I took the velocity of the train, and divided it by the mass, and I realized that I don’t know how to f***ing drive a bullet train!
Ladybug: Dude, all you do is talk about trains.
Lemon: Man, Thomas is a metaphor for life, not how to actually drive… Get down!


 

Lemon: I’m sorry I shot you!
Ladybug: Actually, it was like twice!


 

Lemon: I’m sorry I shot you twice.
Ladybug: Thanks, man. That shows real growth!


 

The Elder: [to White Death] You are not ruled by strength. You are ruled by fear! Fear of the one thing deep down you cannot control! Fear of fate!


 

Ladybug: Hey, and I’m sorry about Tangerine.
Lemon: Yeah. Yeah. But I got another brother now.
Ladybug: Really?
Lemon: F*** no!


 

White Death: The Carver. I want the Carver! I hired the Carver!
Ladybug: No, he had a stomach thing, man. I’m just filling in.
White Death: You’re filling in.
Ladybug: For what it’s worth, Carver is a d**k. The most cunning assassin, maybe the laziest, but…
[White Death shoots his gun at him, but it’s emtpy]


 

Prince: [referring to White Death] It’s my luck that delivered my father’s corpse at my feet.
Ladybug: The narcissism on this chick. Untreatable.


 

Ladybug: What is with this f***ed-up family? You need some suggested reading, if I may. Surviving Borderline Personality Disorder.
Prince: What?
Ladybug: I highly recommend it.
Prince: Now, I am the White D…
[she’s suddenly hit and killed by a truck]


 

Ladybug: Did you come to rescue me?
Maria: Did you need rescuing?
Ladybug: You came to rescue me.
Maria: Please don’t make me regret it.


 

Maria: What’s happening to your face? Are you crying?
Ladybug: It’s a lot to process. I want you to know, you are the greatest, most wonderful handler that I could ever have. Ever. Ever.


 

Maria: Do you think maybe there was a little head trauma?
Ladybug: Maybe.
Maria: A little bit, yeah.
Ladybug: A little light-headed.
Maria: Yeah. Need a banana?
Ladybug: Potassium might be good.


 

Maria: [to Ladybug] Hey, next time, take the gun. Don’t listen to Barry. Okay? Simple?


 

Ladybug: You know, I think you were right about one thing.
Maria: Usually am. Come on.
Ladybug: Maybe it is just about how we frame it. Like, maybe there’s no bad luck, or good luck. Maybe we’re all just agents of fate.


 

Ladybug: [after Maria’s car is destroyed] Ooh. Wasabi peas. Fate obviously didn’t want me to have that banana. Fate did not want us to get in that car.
Maria: Well, maybe you’ve learned something after all.
Ladybug: Fate needs me to find a smart toilet.
Maria: I take that back. Can you hold it?
Ladybug: I’m ball pointing.
Maria: Walk faster.


 

Lemon: [mid-credits lines, we see it was Lemon that ran over and killed Prince] Final curtain, huh? Final curtain! Take a f***ing bow!
