As notorious Depression-era bank robber (and beloved folk hero) John Dillinger in 'Public Enemies,' Johnny Depp walks softly and carries a big Tommy gun. He also loves hard, lives harder and talks a whole lot of trash to pretty much anyone who'll listen.With 'Enemies'' guns already blazing at the box office, Moviefone has compiled the movie's most memorable quotes -- you know, just in case you want to break out the badass 1930s gangster lingo at your Fourth of July BBQ. -- By Tom DiChiara
John Dillinger (Johnny Depp): "I like baseball, movies, good clothes, whiskey, fast cars ... and you. What else you need to know?"
Dillinger: [to girlfriend Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard)] "You ain't going nowhere. I'm gonna die an old man in your arms. We're too good for 'em. They ain't tough enough, smart enough or fast enough. I can hit any bank I want, any time. They got to be at every bank, all the time. That's why we're on top of the world. Ain't nobody can lay a glove on us. No ... I ain't going nowhere. Neither are you. What you got to say about that?" [Billie kisses him.]
Dillinger: "That's your money, mister? We're here for the bank's money, not yours. Put it away."
Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale): "The only way you're walking out of this jail cell is when we take you out to execute you."
Dillinger: "Well, we'll see about that."
Dillinger: "We're having too good a time today. We ain't thinking about tomorrow."
Alvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribisi): "Yeah, well, you ought to."
Johnny Depp, Christian Bale & Marion Cotillard interviews
Lawyer: "They're extraditing you."
Dillinger: "Where to?"
Lawyer: "Indiana."
Dillinger: "Why? I have absolutely nothing I want to do in Indiana."
Reporter: "Johnny, how long does it take you to go through a bank?"
Dillinger: "About one minute forty seconds ... flat."
Pretty Boy Floyd (Channing Tatum): [to Purvis] "I believe you killed me. You can go to hell."
J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup): "Create informants, Agent Purvis. Suspects are to be interrogated vigorously. Grilled. No obsolete notions of sentimentality. We are in the modern age, and we are making history. Take direct, expedient action. As they say in Italy these days ... 'Take off the white gloves.'"
Billie: "You wanted to know where he was, you dumb flatfoot? You walked right past him on State Street. You were too scared to look around. He was at the curb in that black Buick."
Billie: [laughing] "When my boyfriend finds out what you did to me, you're going to be in big trouble."
Purvis: "I'm afraid our 'type' cannot get the job done. Without qualified help, I would have to resign this appointment. I am leading my men to slaughter."
Homer Van Meter (Stephen Dorff): [to hostage Barbara Patzke (Emilie de Ravin)] "You know, when I'm not doing this, I make movies."
Barbara: "Really?"
Dillinger: "What if we could get out of here altogether? You wanna take that ride with me?"
Billie: "Yeah, I wanna take that ride with you."

The movie was awesome, but I wish they had not cut so much of the lovemaking scenes....they were HOT!

This was one awesome movie; while not being entirely historicaly accurate it was very good considering most movie's qualities. A very good watch.

I have to disagree to the positive comments. The HD film that the movie was shot in was very distracting and made the movie look more like a soap opera. It was rather disturbing of how all the bank robberies took place in the same bank and the secondary characters did not act up to par. The most obvious scenes were when Tommy Guns were fired and the characters that were standing right next to the gun did not even do so much as flinch from the bursting sound. Film is the way a movie should be shot, HD just hasn't reached film quality potential.

This movie was so good. It was nice to be able to watch a Rated R film that was good from start to finish. The love making scene was cut a little short for my taste but didn't hurt the over all entertainment of the film. The ending made me shed some tears, " Tell Billie for me, Bye Bye Black Bird." I hope the real Billie Frechette found peace, love and lived a wonderful fullfilled life. R.I.P Billie and Jon, I hope you two found each other in the after life.
