Venom: I cannot live like this anymore. I’m starving!
Eddie Brock: [referring to the chickens] So eat those guys.
Venom: I can’t. Sonny and Cher are best friends.
Eddie Brock: Are you serious? That’s ridiculous.
Eddie Brock: You have got to get control of your aggression. That is why we have Snookie!
Venom: I cannot live on chicken and chocolate alone. I need brains!
Eddie Brock: Chickens have brains.
Venom: I most passionately disagree. Look. Look at those poor idiots. Small brains.
Eddie Brock: You live in my body, you live by my rules.
Venom: I live in your body because unfortunately, I don’t have many options.
Eddie Brock: The FBI is still investigating us for all of that stuff that “we were involved with”, so if one more head goes missing, we will get hauled off into Area 51. They will kill us both. So somebody has to be responsible.
Venom: Responsibility, it’s for the mediocre.

Mrs. Chen: Chocolate hasn’t arrived yet.
Venom: No!
Eddie Brock: Oh, no. We have a deal.
Mrs. Chen: What’s going to happen? You going to stop protecting me? I don’t think so. I’ve been keeping my mouth shut, feeding your little secret.
Eddie Brock: Wow. Little old Mrs. Chen is a little old blackmailer, huh?
Mrs. Chen: Less of the old. I am thirty-nine.
Venom: And I am Barry Manilow.
Venom: I am happy to eat Mrs. Chen!
Eddie Brock: No. No. You cannot eat Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen: What?
Eddie Brock: Well, I guess it’s going to have to be plan B.
Mrs. Chen: What’s plan B?
Venom: [to the mugger] I shall remove your head.
Eddie Brock: No, you won’t.
Venom: I will use it for bowling!
Eddie Brock: No, you will not!
Venom: [to the mugger] I will take you to Lucky Strike, and I will score a three hundred point game.
Eddie Brock: You won’t.
Venom: The rest of your pudgy little boy body will be left here, rolling around in dumpster juice.
Eddie Brock: [referring to the mugging victim] She didn’t want our help.
Venom: She did not know she needed our help, Eddie. There is a difference.

Anne Weying: [over phone, to Eddie] I’m sorry I haven’t returned your calls. I guess I just needed a little space after the whole alien biting a guy’s head off thing, so.
Venom: Ah, the good old days.
Venom: [referring to Anne] It’s over with the doctor! That is the voice of a woman who just got brutally dumped.
Eddie Brock: [referring to the cat] How’s Mr. Belvedere?
Anne Weying: Yeah. Good. Good. You know, he’s still wiping his a** on the carpet. He learned that from you.
Anne Weying: [after Eddie’s seen her engagement ring] Are you okay?
Eddie Brock: Yeah, I’m okay.
Venom: Well, I am not okay.
Anne Weying: You could just say, “Congratulations. I’m happy for you.” You know, like two people who still care enough about each other to lie so that the other one doesn’t feel like complete s**t. Maybe we could do that version of this?
Venom: That was going to be us, Eddie! I, for one, would not be inconsolable if Dan were to fall into traffic, and lose his head, and his feet, and all of his teeth!
