  • [Royal motions to Pagoda] 

    Royal : He saved my life, you know. Thirty years ago. I was knifed at a bazaar in Calcutta, and he carried me to the hospital on his back.

    Ari : Who stabbed you?

    [Royal motions to Pagoda again] 

    Royal : He did. There was a price on my head, and he was a hired assassin. Stuck me in the gut with a shiv.

  • [last lines] 

    [the family is gathered at the cemetery] 

    Narrator : Among the few possessions he left to his heirs was a set of Encyclopedia Britannica in storage at the Lindbergh Palace Hotel under the names Ari and Uzi Tenenbaum. No-one spoke at the funeral, and Father Petersen's leg had not yet mended, but it was agreed among them that Royal would have found the event to be most satisfactory.

    [Chas, now wearing a blac Adidas tracksuit, nods to his sons] 

    Ari : Fire!

    [Ari and Uzi, also in black Adidas tracksuits, fire their air rifles into the air] 

    Ari : Fire!

    [they fire again] 

  • Ari : Were you in prison?

    Royal : Kinda. Minimum security. I got jacked by the IRS. Shall we split?

    Ari : Yes, sir.

    Royal : No, call me Mr. Tennenbaum.

    Ari : OK.

    Royal : Oh, I'm kidding. Call me Pappy.

  • Uzi Tenenbaum : Who's your father?

    Chas : His name is Royal Tenenbaum.

    Ari : You told us he was already dead.

    Chas : Yeah, well, now he's really dying.

  • Ari : [about Margot's severed finger]  Did you try to sew it back on?

    Margot : Wasn't worth it.
