Quotes 

  • Teddy : You don't want the truth. You make up your own truth.

  • Leonard Shelby : I don't think they'd let someone like me carry a gun.

    Teddy : I fucking hope not.

  • Teddy : Hey! Hey, that's not your car!

    Leonard Shelby : [takes a picture of the Jaguar]  It is now.

    Teddy : Jesus Chri- you can't take it!

    Leonard Shelby : Why not?

    Teddy : Because the guy you killed owns it; somebody will recognize it!

    Leonard Shelby : Well, I rather be mistaken for a dead guy than a killer.

  • Leonard Shelby : These tracks are just a few days old.

    Teddy : What are you, Pocahontas?

  • Teddy : So you lie to yourself to be happy. There's nothing wrong with that. We all do it.

  • Teddy : You know, I've had more rewarding friendships than this one. Although I do get to keep telling the same jokes.

  • Teddy : You know how many towns, how many guys called James G? Or John G? Shit, Leonard, I'm a fuckin' John G.

    Leonard Shelby : Your name's Teddy.

    Teddy : My *mother* calls me Teddy.

  • Leonard Shelby : I take it I've told you about my condition.

    Teddy : Only every time I see ya.

  • Teddy : [checking Leonard's pulse]  You're living.

    Leonard Shelby : Only for revenge.

  • Teddy : But when you killed him I, I was so convinced that you'd remember. But it didn't stick... like nothin' ever sticks, like this won't stick.

  • Teddy : You don't know who you are anymore.

    Leonard Shelby : Of course I do. I'm Leonard Shelby. I'm from San Francisco.

    Teddy : No, that's who you were. Maybe it's time you started investigating yourself.

  • Leonard Shelby : [while walking through a parking lot, Teddy stops at his dilapidated Chevrolet]  My car.

    Teddy : [laughs]  This is your car.

    Leonard Shelby : [holds up a picture of the Jaguar with the caption My Car]  Oh, you're in a playful mood. It's not good for you to make fun of somebody's handicap.

    Teddy : Just trying to have a little fun.

  • Teddy : Was he scared?

    Leonard Shelby : Yeah, I think it was your sinister moustache.

    Teddy : Fuck you.

  • Teddy : You really want to get this guy, don't you?

    Leonard Shelby : He killed my wife. He took away my fucking memory. He destroyed my ability to live.

  • Teddy : I guess I can only make you remember the things you want to be true.

  • Teddy : We found him, you killed him!... But you didn't remember.

  • [Leonard hits Teddy in the back of his head with his camera] 

    Teddy : Lenny! That shit kills!

  • Teddy : When she offers to help, it'll be for her own reasons. I'm not lying. Take my pen, write this down. Do not trust her.

  • Teddy : Someone has to pay, Lenny. Somebody always pays.

  • Teddy : It's beer o'clock, and I'm buying.

  • Teddy : Finished playing with yourself there, Lenny?

  • Teddy : Nice shot, Liebowitz.

  • Teddy : You're not a killer.

    [pinches Leonard's cheeks] 

    Teddy : That's why you're so good at it.

  • Leonard : That's Sammy, not me. I told you about Sammy.

    Teddy : Yeah, right. Like you tell yourself over and over again. Conditioning yourself to remember. Learning through repetition.

  • Teddy : Come on. You got your revenge. Enjoy it while you still remember. What difference does it make whether he was your guy or not?

    Leonard : It makes all the difference.

    Teddy : Why? You're never gonna know.

    Leonard : Yes, I will.

    Teddy : No, you won't.

    Leonard : I will. Somehow I'll know.

    Teddy : You won't remember!

    Leonard : When it's done, I will know. It'll be different.

    Teddy : Well I thought so too. In fact, I was sure of it, but you didn't!

  • Leonard : So who was he?

    Teddy : Just some guy. I mean, does it even matter who? No reason, Lenny. No conspiracy, just bad fucking luck.

  • Teddy : [to Leonard]  All you do is moan. *I'm* the one that has to live with what you've done. I'm the one that put it all together. You, you wander around, you're playing detective. You're living a dream, kid. A dead wife to pine for. A sense of purpose to your life. A romantic quest that you wouldn't end, even if I wasn't in the picture.

  • Teddy : Where to next Pocahontas?"
