Quotes 

• Barber Martin : There. You finally look like a human being again. You shouldn't wait so long between hair cuts, you cheap son of a bitch.

  Walt Kowalski : Yeah. I'm surprised you're still around. I was always hoping you'd die off and they got someone in here that knew what the hell they were doing. Instead, you're just hanging around like the doo-wop dago you are.

  Barber Martin : That'll be ten bucks, Walt.

  Walt Kowalski : Ten bucks? Jesus Christ, Marty. What are you, half Jew or somethin'? You keep raising the damn prices all the time.

  Barber Martin : It's been ten bucks for the last five years, you hard-nosed Polack son of a bitch.

  Walt Kowalski : Yeah, well keep the change.

  Barber Martin : See you in three weeks, prick.

  Walt Kowalski : Not if I see you first, dipshit.

• Walt Kowalski : Now you just gotta learn how guys talk. You just listen to the way Martin and I banter it back and forth. You OK? You're ready?

  Thao Vang Lor : Sir!

  Walt Kowalski : Alright let's go in...

  Barber Martin : Perfect! A Polak and AND a Chink!

  Walt Kowalski : How ya doing Martin, you crazy Italian prick?

  Barber Martin : Walts! You cheap bastard! I should have known you'd come in, I was having such a pleasant day!

  Walt Kowalski : What'd you do? You ruse some poor blind guy out of his money? Gave him the wrong change?

  Barber Martin : Who's the Nip?

  Walt Kowalski : Ohh... He's a pussy kid from next door. I'm trying to man him up a little bit... You see kid, now that's how guys talk to one another.

  Thao Vang Lor : They do?

  Barber Martin : What, you got shit on your ribs?

  Walt Kowalski : Now you go out and come back in and talk to him like a man, like a REAL man. Come on! Get your ass outta here! Come on back now.

  [to Martin] 

  Walt Kowalski : Sorry about this.

  Thao Vang Lor : What's up ya old Italian prick?

  Barber Martin : [pointing rifle at Thao]  Get out of my shop before I blow your head off, you goddamn dick sucker! Go!

  Walt Kowalski : Jezus Christ, Holy Shit! Hehe. Take it easy, take it easy!

  [to Thao] 

  Walt Kowalski : What the hell are you doing? Have you lost your mind?

  Thao Vang Lor : But that's what you said. That's what you said men say.

  Walt Kowalski : You don't just come in and insult the man in his own shop! You just don't do that. What happens if you meet some stranger? You get the wrong one, he's gonna blow your gook head right off!

  Thao Vang Lor : What should I have said then?

  Barber Martin : Well... why don't you start with... eeehm... Hi or Hello...

  Walt Kowalski : Yeah, just come in and say... eeeehm... Sir, I'd like a haircut if you have the time.

  Barber Martin : Yeah, be polite, but don't kiss ass.

  Walt Kowalski : In fact you could talk about a construction job you just came from and bitch about your girlfriend and your car.

  Barber Martin : eeeehm... Son of a bitch, I just got my brakes fixed and eeehmm those son of bitches really nailed me, I mean they screwed me right in the ass!

  Walt Kowalski : Yeah, don't swear AT the guy, just talk about people who are not in the room... eeeh... you could talk about your boss... eeeh... making you work extra time when there is bowling night.

  Barber Martin : Right, or... eeeh... my old lady bitches for two goddamn hours about how... eeeeh... they don't take expired coupons at the grocery stores. And the minute I turn on the fucking game, she starts crying how we never talk!

• Walt Kowalski : [Walt is trying to "man" up Thao]  Now go out and talk to him, and it ain't rocket science for Christ's sake.

  Thao Vang Lor : Yeah, but I don't have a job, a car, or a girlfriend.

  Barber Martin : Jesus. I shoulda blown his head off when I had the chance.

  Walt Kowalski : Yeah. Maybe so.

• Barber Martin : That'll be 10 bucks, Walt.

  Walt Kowalski : Jesus, what are you, half Jew?
