Rum Diary Movie Quotes,
It's All True
Paul Kemp: "Puerto Rico. I came down here looking for a story, but if found the strangest paradise on Earth. It's where your secrets come to dance and the voodoo works it's magic. And if the drinking doesn't get you into trouble, the women definitely will. All of this may sound like some crazed hallucination, but it's all true - I think."
Is it true? If so, it's definitely crazed.
The Rum Diary
Human Beings
Paul Kemp: "Human beings are the only creatures on Earth that claim a God, and the only living things that behave like they haven't got one."
I Have Binoculars
Sala: "Hey, you made it!"
Paul Kemp: "I thought you said you had a TV."
Sala: "The guy across the alley has a TV - I have binoculars."
Michael Rispoli makes a perfect Sala, delivering his funny lines with ease.
Mermaid from Connecticut
Paul Kemp: "I thought maybe you were a mermaid."
Chenault: "I'm from Connecticut. My boyfriend's making a speech. It takes exactly 21 minutes."
Paul Kemp: "Well then I guess it's pointless me inviting you for a drink."
Chenault: "What you got?"
Paul Kemp: "I mean at the bar."
Chenault: "Pointless. I'd better go before they wonder where I went."
Paul Kemp: "Wait a minute, what's your name?"
Chenault: "Let's keep that a secret."
Paul Kemp: "I don't even know it."
Chenault: "Well then you'll keep it even better."
Paul Kemp: "Well your star sign! I'm an experienced astronomer."
Chenault: "Try Pisces, the fish."
Paul Kemp: "Oh God, why did she have to happen? Just when I was doing so good without her..."
Yes, it's probably not good that Chenault had to happen. Especially since she's Sanderson's fiance.
Your Tongue Belongs to Satan
Paul Kemp: "Jesus, your tongue is like an accusatory giblet! For christsakes keep it out."
Sala: "What are you talking about?"
Paul Kemp: "Your tongue belongs to Satan!"
Sala: "Are you out of your mind?!"
This is a good example of the aforementioned crazed hallucinations.
Ink and Rage
Paul Kemp: "I want to make a promise to you, the reader. And I don't know if I can fulfill it tomorrow, or even the day after that. But I put the bastards of this world on notice that I do not have their best interests at heart. I will try and speak for my reader. That is my promise. And it will be a voice made of ink and rage."
Kemp has had enough. He's determined to expose the greedy Americans looking for profit in Puerto Rico. In between drinks, of course.
Drink Some Rum!
Sala: "You're high you fool, drink some rum!"
The Truth
Paul Kemp: "How the hell did I get here? I could blame the job, the booze - but the truth is even more outrageous."
And also? Blame the girl. And probably the illicit drug use.
Drinking
Lotterman: "How much do you drink?"
Paul Kemp: "The upper end of social."
As in, more than 150 hotel miniatures. Way more.
