How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Reservoir Dogs.
Quote #1
JOE: All right, ramblers, let's get ramblin'. Wait a minute. Who didn't throw in?
MR. ORANGE: Mr. Pink.
JOE: Mr. Pink? Why not?
MR. ORANGE: He don't tip.
JOE: He don't tip? What do you mean you don't tip?
MR. ORANGE: He don't believe in it.
JOE: Shut up.
Coincidence or foreshadowing? We're going with the latter. It's all too convenient that Orange is the first one to rat out the non-tipper.
Quote #2
MR. WHITE: I'm taking you back to the rendezvous. Joe's going to get you a doctor. The doctor's going to fix you up, and you're going to be okay. Now say it! You're going to be okay. Say it! You're going to be okay! Say the goddamn words. You're going to be okay!
MR. ORANGE: Oh, god!
MR. WHITE: Say the goddamn f***ing words! Say it!
MR. ORANGE: I'm okay, Larry
MR. WHITE: Correct! Correct.
MR. ORANGE: I'm okay.
This has to be the kindest lie there is. White just wants to help calm him down. He even holds his hand and starts singing the words, "you're gonna be okay". Such a nice guy, White… minus the whole armed robbery part.
Quote #3
MR. ORANGE: I was panicking for a minute back there, but I got my senses back now. Situation is I'm shot in the belly. Without medical attention, I'm going to die.
MR. WHITE: I can't take you to a hospital.
MR. ORANGE: F*** jail, man! You don't have to take me in. Just drive me up to the front. Just drop me on the sidewalk. I'll take care of myself. I won't tell them anything, man. I won't tell them anything. I swear to f***ing god, man! Just look in my eyes, Larry. Look in my eyes. I won't tell them anything. You'll be safe, man.
Even after all White has done for him, Orange still doesn't care that he's the very reason White's definitely not safe, hospital trip or no. He just wants to save his own life. Do you think less of him for this lie?
