The Talented Mr. Ripley

How far would you go to become someone else.

"I always thought it'd be better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody."

    --  Tom Ripley
 

"You know, without the glasses you're not even ugly."

    --  Dickie Greenleaf
 

"Everybody has got to have a talent, what's yours?"
"Telling lies, forging signatures and impersonating almost anybody."

    --  Dickie Greenleaf and Tom Ripley
 

"Why is it when men play they always play at killing each other?"

    --  Marge Sherwood

"Nothing is more naked than your handwriting. See how nothing's quite touching the line? That's vanity."
"Well, we certainly know that that's true."

    --  Tom Ripley and Dickie Greenleaf
 

"The thing with Dickie... it's like the sun shines on you, and it's glorious. And then he forgets you and it's very, very cold."
"So I'm learning."
"When you have his attention, you feel like you're the only person in the world, that's why everybody loves him so much."

    --  Marge Sherwood and Tom Ripley
 

"You're the brother I never had. I'm the brother you never had. I would do anything for you, Dickie."

    --  Tom Ripley
 

"Don't you just take the past, and put it in a room in the basement, and lock the door and never go in there? That's what I do."
"God, yes. Though in my case, it's probably a whole building."

    --  Tom Ripley and Peter
 

"I could live Dickie's life for him."

    --  Tom Ripley
 

"What are you trying to say?"
"I think I'm saying it."

    --  Tom Ripley and Peter
 

"Dickie?"
"Hello Meredith!"
"Oh my God! I hardly even recognized you."
"Well, you spotted me so you get the reward."

    --  Marge Sherwood and Tom Ripley
 

"You killed Dickie! I know it was you!"

    --  Marge Sherwood
