My Cousin Vinny Quotes

Here are some of the most memorable quotes from My Cousin Vinny.

1. “Jim Trotter: what do you do for a living?

Mona Lisa: I’m an unemployed beautician.

Jim Trotter: An unemployed beautician? How does that help you prove that you know about cars?

Mona Lisa: It doesn’t prove anything if you must know.”

2. “Mona Lisa: Relax, Vinny. There’s gotta be a way to get you out of jail. I will find a way to come up with the bail money.

Vinny: Don’t worry about it. I want to spend a night in prison. Perhaps I’ll get some sleep that way. I’m getting better at this, aren’t I, Lisa?”

3. “Vinny: I don’t approve of this witness testifying right now. The defense hasn’t been warned about this witness being here today. It was a complete blindside on the prosecutor’s part. There’s no proof of any tests or reports that he has completed. As you know, my clients deserve to be informed ahead of time of anyone who will be testifying especially anyone who claims to be an expert on science. This way the defense will be able to cross-examine the witness as well as give the defense a chance to check out the evidence and have it examined by an expert who might be able to prove that the witness was wrong.

Judge Chamberlain Haller: Gambini? I’m surprised that you came up with a clear an excellent objection.

Vinny: I appreciate that, You Honor.

Judge Chamberlain Haller: But you’re still overruled.”

4. “Vinny: You played billiards with my girlfriend, Lisa for a couple of hundred dollars. She came out the winner, but you didn’t pay her the money. I’m here because I want the money from you.

JT: Here’s a better offer for you. I will fight you outside right now.

Vinny: You like to make deals in your favor. That’s what lawyers like to do too. I know because I happen to be a lawyer. I like to make deals too. This is gonna be a hard choice for me to make. Do I get beat up or do I get the couple of hundred dollars you owe my girlfriend? I will think about this for a second. It has been a while since I’ve been in a fight, but you know what…instead of fighting, I will take the money you owe.

JT: You must be joking. You will have to kill me first.

Vinny: You like to change your mind while you’re talking. Well, here’s another choice for you. Should I just kill you? What happens if I just beat you into a bloody pulp?

JT: That will happen. Only in your dreams.

Vinny: It will happen in reality. If I beat you up, do I get her money?”

5. “Mona Lisa: What are you looking at?

Vinny: What do you think I’m looking at? I’m looking at you. You don’t exactly fit in with the way you are dressed.

Mona Lisa: I don’t fit in? What about the way you’re dressed?

Vinny: I can blend in better than you can. At least I have boots on. You don’t even have that.

Mona Lisa: You fit in just fine.”


6. “Stan: Didn’t you have any questions to ask, Vinny?

Vinny: What was I supposed to ask?

Bill: You were aware that you could ask things weren’t you, Vinny?

Stan: If you had done a better job, you might have gotten the case dismissed.

Vinny: You are in cow country. You are from the East. You murdered a hometown boy. There was no way in the world this case wasn’t going to trial.”

Mona Lisa: What’s your point?

Vinny: Didn’t you use the sink?

Mona Lisa: Yeah, so what?

Vinny: Why didn’t you turn the faucet off?

Mona Lisa: I did. It was off when I left the bathroom.

Vinny: If it was off, why is it dripping?

Mona Lisa: Isn’t it possible that it could be off and still dripping?

Vinny: No, it’s not possible because if it were off, it wouldn’t be dripping now.

Mona Lisa: Perhaps something is wrong with it. Did you think of that?

Vinny: Is that your excuse? Something is wrong with it?

Mona Lisa: Yeah, something’s wrong with it.

Vinny: Are you certain of this?

Mona Lisa: Yes I am. I’m positive.

Vinny: Maybe you didn’t turn the knob hard enough.

Mona Lisa: I did it just fine.

Vinny: What makes you so sure that you did?

Mona Lisa: I checked the manual carefully and I did everything I was supposed to do.

10. “Vinny: Lisa, I don’t have time for this right now. This is not the time for you to pull stunts. I’m dealing with a judge who is dying to put me back in jail. A loser who wants to beat me up because you hustled him for $200. Mutilated animals are keeping me up at night. Whistles are also keeping me up at night. Haven’t been to sleep in five days. I am broke, I have dress code issues and a trial in which two people’s lives are on the line. I also have to deal with your biological clock. My job, your needs, our relationship, and what else can top that? Is there anything else we can put on top of my mountain of problems?

Mona Lisa: Perhaps I should have mentioned it another time.”

11. “Guard: There’s somebody here to see you.

Vinny: I take it you’re Stan? How are you?

Stan: Why did they decide to bring you in my cell?

Vinny: I just came into town. I was wondering where the new people were and they told me you were here. I’ll start with you since Billy is asleep.

Stan: I don’t want this.

Vinny: I understand. If I were you, I wouldn’t want to go through this at all. It would better to get through it fast and with no pain. Let’s make this a simple in-and-out session. (Stan walks away from Vinny). What are you doing? You need to relax. Let’s talk about this and get to know each other better before we get to the point. What’s the matter with you?

Stan: I don’t want to do this with you!

Vinny: I get it, but what are your other options?

Stan: My other options? You mean besides you? I would rather die.

Vinny: It’s gonna be me or someone else. Either way you’re going to be screwed. Calm down. I’m trying to help you.

Stan: You have a big ego there don’t you?

Vinny: What in the world is your problem? I didn’t come here to get screwed over. I was here to get you off.

Billy: Get away from me! Hey Vinny!

Stan: Is that Vinny?”
