Beatty Gets Breathless

Dick Tracy (1990)

This adaptation of the Chester Gould comic strip classic is full of color, comedy and incredible characters. From Warren Beatty, playing the sexy yet honorable hero to Madonna's Breathless Mahoney and Al Pacino's Big Boy Caprice, there's no lack of imagination that went into this film. The plot is fairly simple but the surroundings keep you captivated. Before you head to see Beatty in the new relese, "Town and Country", catch him in this comic book classic.

Big Boy Caprice: Around me, if a girl don't wear fur, she don't wear nuttin'.
Breathless Mahoney: Well, I look good both ways.

Big Boy Caprice: You get behind me, we all profit; you challenge me, we all go down! There was one Napoleon, one Washington, one me!

Dick Tracy: I'm on duty.
Breathless Mahoney: What's your day off?
Dick Tracy: Sunday.
Breathless Mahoney: It's a big world...must be Sunday somewhere.

Dick Tracy: No grief for Lips?
Breathless Mahoney: I'm wearing black underwear.
Dick Tracy: You know, it's legal for me to take you down to the station and sweat it out of you under the light.
Breathless Mahoney: I sweat a lot better in the dark.

Big Boy Caprice: All right, that's enough. I want this no-face character dead and I want Tracy dead. What's the matter, you bums forgotten how to kill people? Have you no sense of pride in what you do? No sense of duty, no sense of destiny? I'm looking for generals; what have I got? Foot soldiers! I want Dick Tracy dead!

Breathless Mahoney: Aren't you gonna frisk me?

Big Boy Caprice: Wait a minute! Wait. Wait. I'm having a thought. Oh yes. Oh yes. I'm going to have a thought. It's coming. It's coming. ...It's gone.

Breathless Mahoney: I know how you feel. You don't know if you want to hit me or kiss me. I get a lot of that.

Flattop: Hey copper, maybe you ought to look before you leap. We've got rights.
Dick Tracy: Take the bad men away. They frighten me.
