My Favorite ‘An American Werewolf In London’ Quotes

Dr. Hirsch:If I survived Rommel, I’m sure I can survive another excruciating evening with Roger Matheson.

Jack:I was murdered, an unnatural death, and now I walk the earth in limbo until the werewolf’s curse is lifted.

David:You’re a very beautiful girl.

Dart Player:It’s the one who lived. He’s the one who’s in danger, and not just him. Others will be, too. It’s almost full moon. He’ll change, and he’ll—.

David:You know, there are gonna be plenty of girls on this trip.

Jack:Yeah, we’re off to a great start.

David:Well, I think that a werewolf can only be killed by someone who loves him.

Jack:The wolf’s bloodline must be severed. The last remaining werewolf must be destroyed. It’s you, David.

Alex:I’ve left those pills for you.

David:Ah, a doper werewolf.

David:It’s-a cold and-a wet out-a here!

Little Boy With Balloons:A naked American man stole my balloons.

Little Boy’s Mother (Lesley Ward):What?

Barmaid:We have spirits and beers. If it’s something hot you want, you can have tea.

Jack:Then you have tea?

Barmaid:No.

David:No, I’m not being silly, you little creep.

David:Aren’t you gonna say ‘I told you so’?

Jack:If I were still alive, I probably would. But I did tell you so, you schmuck.

David:Oh, I see, and you want me to ask them if they’re burning candles to ward off monsters.

Jack:Right.

David:Wrong.

Dr. Hirsch:Surely, I’m not that impressive.

Chess Player:No, no sir, you’re not.

Alex:Shall I be forced to feed you, David?

Alex:I’m torn between feeling very sorry for you and finding you terribly attractive.

David:Believe what? That tomorrow night beneath the full moon, I’ll sprout hair and fangs and eat people? It’s bulls**t!

Jack:Oh, g*****n it, David, please believe me. You’ll kill and make others like me. I’m not havin’ a nice time here.

Taxi Driver (Alan Ford):It puts you in mind of the days of the old demon barber of Fleet Street, doesn’t it?

Alex:I’ve had seven lovers in my life, three of which were one-night stands.

Dr. Hirsch:Nurse Gallagher, surely you perform some function here at the hospital?

David:I think Debbie Klein’s a mediocre person with a good body.

Jack:There’s nothing mediocre about Debbie Klein’s body.

Jack:Where’s the lamb?

David:It’s probably inside getting cold. Come on.

Jack:No, really. What kind of ad is that for a pub?

David:I don’t know. Would you rather the Hilton?

Inspector Villiers (Don McKillop):I cannot accept a connection between David Kessler and last night’s murders.

David:Jack was right!

Alex:Jack is dead!

Jack:Those sheep s**t on my pack.

Dart Player:It’s murder, then.

Chess Player:Then murder it is!

David:But Jack, where are we going?

Jack:I don’t know, I’ll tell you when we get there!

David:Look, Dr. Hirsch. I know I was traumatized, but Jack was torn apart. I saw him. A man can’t do that to someone with his bare hands.

Dr. Hirsch:You’d be surprised what horrors a man is capable of.

Jack:It was very bloody.

Chess Player:Bloody awful if you ask me.

David:You know, it just fascinates me how much energy you spend on somebody so dull.

Jack:There’s nothin’ dull about that body.

Jack:Your parents came to my funeral. I was surprised at how many people came.

David:Why should you be surprised? You were a very well-liked person.

Jack:Yeah. I was, wasn’t I?

Jack:Well, I liked you.

Jack:I realize I don’t look so hot, David, but I thought you’d be glad to see me. David! You’re hurting my feelings.

David:Fe-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman.

David:We’ve known Debbie, what, since the eighth grade? How many years of foreplay is that?

David:Don’t I need a silver bullet or something?

Jack:Oh, be serious, would you?

David:Doctor, my memory is fine. It’s my sanity I’m beginning to worry about.

Jack:Thanks for the ride, sir. You have lovely sheep.

Dr. Hirsch:Now, you’ll be leaving this hospital in three or four days. Please, remain sane. At least until you’re no longer our responsibility.

Jack:Kill yourself… before you kill others.

Chess Player:Beware the moon, lads.

Jack:The supernatural, the power of darkness, it’s all true. The undead surround me. Have you ever talked to a corpse? It’s boring.

Alex:Will I have to take such drastic action again, David?

Sergeant McManus (Paul Kember):Inspector, the boy seems all right to me, and—

Inspector Villiers:And what, Sergeant?

Jack:Excuse me. But what’s that star on the wall for?

Chess Player:Go. God be with you.

Gerald:You’ve left my wife a widow and my children fatherless. And I understand I am to walk the Earth in limbo, one of the living dead, until the wolf’s bloodline is severed and the curse lifted. You must die, David Kessler.
