Erin Brockovich Quotes

George: How many numbers you got?
Erin Brockovich: Oh, I got numbers comin' outta my ears. For instance: ten.
George: Ten?
Erin Brockovich: Yeah. That's how many months old my baby girl is.
George: You got a little girl?
Erin Brockovich: Yeah. Yeah, sexy, huh?

How 'bout this for a number? Six. That's how old my other daughter is, eight is the age of my son, two is how many times I've been married - and divorced; sixteen is the number of dollars I have in my bank account. 850-3943. That's my phone number, and with all the numbers I gave you, I'm guessing zero is the number of times you're gonna call it.

Kurt Potter: Wha... how did you do this?
Erin Brockovich: Well, um, seeing as how I have no brains or legal expertise, and Ed here was losing all faith in the system, am I right?
Ed Masry: Oh, yeah, completely. No faith, no faith...
Erin Brockovich: I just went out there and performed sexual favors. Six

hundred and thirty-four blow jobs in five days... I'm really quite tired.

Ms. Sanchez: [at the meeting with the PG & E lawyers] Let's be honest here. Twenty million dollars is more money than these people have ever dreamed of.
Erin Brockovich: Oh see, now that pisses me off. First of all, since the demur we have more than 400 plaintiffs and... let's be honest, we all know there are more out there. They may not be the most

sophisticated people but they do know how to divide and $20 million isn't *shit* when you split it between them. Second of all, these people don't dream about being rich. They dream about being able to watch their kids swim in a pool without worrying that they'll have to have a hysterectomy at the age of *twenty*. Like Rosa Diaz, a client of ours. Or have their spine deteriorate, like Stan Blume,

*another* client of ours. So before you come back here with another lame ass offer, I want you to think real hard about what your spine is worth, Mr. Walker. Or what you might expect someone to pay you for your uterus, Ms. Sanchez. Then you take out your calculator and you multiply that number by a hundred. Anything less than that is a waste of our time.
[Ms. Sanchez picks up a glass of

water]
Erin Brockovich: By the way, we had that water brought in specially for you folks. Came from a well in Hinkley.
Ms. Sanchez: [Puts down the glass, without drinking] I think this meeting is over.
Ed Masry: Damn right it is.

Ed Masry: [after a meeting with a PG&E representative] Didn't you hear? They have $28 billion at their disposal!
Erin Brockovich: So?
Ed Masry: You think I'm MADE of money?
Erin Brockovich: What are you yelling at me for?
Ed Masry: Because I'm pissed off!
Erin

Brockovich: Good!
Ed Masry: [throws down tie] Fuck you!
Erin Brockovich: Fuck you back!
Ed Masry: [starts laughing] I really hate you sometimes, I really do.
Erin Brockovich: Aww, you love me.

Erin Brockovich: Annabelle Daniels: 714-454-9346. 10 years old, 11 in May. Lived on the plume since birth. Wanted to be a synchronized swimmer so she spent every minute she could in the PG&E pool. She had a tumor in her brain stem detected last November, an operation on Thanksgiving, shrunk it with radiation after that. Her parents are Ted & Rita. Ted's got Crohn's disease, Rita

has chronic headaches, and nausea, and underwent a hysterectomy last fall. Ted grew up in Hinkley. His brother Robbie, and his wife May and their five children: Robbie Jr, Martha, Ed, Rose & Peter *also* lived on the plume. Their number is 454-9554. You want their diseases?

[last lines]
Erin Brockovich: Ya know why everyone thinks that all lawyers are backstabbing, bloodsucking scumbags? 'Cause they are! And I cannot believe you expect me to go out, leave my kids with strangers and get people to trust you with *their* lives while all the while you're screwing me! You know, Ed, it's not about the number! It's about the way my work is valued in

this firm, it's the...
[She looks at the two-million-dollar bonus check]
Ed Masry: Like I was saying, I thought that the number you proposed was inappropriate, so I increased it.
[Turns to walk away and turns around to her]
Ed Masry: Do they teach beauty queens how to apologize? Because you suck at it!
Erin

Brockovich: [Long pause, as Erin looks at the check] Uh, Ed... uh... thank you... uh...

Erin Brockovich: [testifying in court about her accident] I was pulling out real slow, and out of nowhere his Jaguar comes racing around the corner like a bat outta hell...
[pause]
Erin Brockovich: They took some bone from my hip and put it in my neck; I didn't have insurance so I'm about $17,000 in debt right now.
[pause]
Erin

Brockovich: I couldn't take painkillers 'cause they made me too groggy to take care of my kids...
[pause]
Erin Brockovich: Matthew's eight, Katie's almost six and Beth's just nine months...
[pause]
Erin Brockovich: I just wanna be a good mom, a nice person, a decent citizen. Just wanna take good care of my kids. You know?

Ed Masry: [quietly] Yeah... I know.
Defending Lawyer: $17,000 in debt? Is your ex-husband helping out?
Erin Brockovich: Which one?
Defending Lawyer: There's more than one?
Erin Brockovich: [becomes defensive] Yeah, there's two. Why?
Defending Lawyer: Right, no

doubt.
[pause]
Defending Lawyer: So, you must've been feeling pretty desperate that afternoon.
Erin Brockovich: What's your point?
Defending Lawyer: Broke, three kids, no job. A doctor in a Jaguar must've looked like a pretty good meal ticket.
Erin Brockovich: What?
[referring to the

doctor]
Erin Brockovich: He hit me!
Defending Lawyer: So you say!
Erin Brockovich: [starts yelling] He came tearing around the corner out of control!
Defending Lawyer: [sarcastically] An ER doctor who spends his days saving lives was the one out of control...
Erin Brockovich:

THAT ASSHOLE SMASHED IN MY FUCKING NECK!

Erin Brockovich: Hey Scott, tell me something. Does PG&E pay you to cover their ass, or do you just do it out of the kindness of your heart?
Scott: I don't know what you're talking about...
Erin Brockovich: The fuck you don't! Nobody calls me Pattee. That heavy-breathing sicko that called the other night could have only found out

about me from you. People are dying, Scott, you've got document after document here telling you why, and you haven't said one word. I wanna know... How the hell you sleep at night?
[guilty stare]

Ed Masry: [explaining his reason for removing Erin from his office] Now, look Erin, this incident aside, I don't think this is the right place for you. So what I'm gonna do is make a few calls on your behalf; find you something else, okay?
Erin Brockovich: [angrily] Don't bother!
Ed Masry: Come on! I'm trying to help here...

Erin Brockovich: Bullshit! You're trying to feel less guilty about firing someone with three kids to feed! Well, fuck if I'll help you do that!
[Erin storms out of his office]

Matthew Brockovich: This girl's about my age. Is she one of the people you're helping?
Erin Brockovich: Yeah, she's really sick so I'm going to get her some medicine to feel better.
Matthew Brockovich: Why doesn't her own mom get her medicine?
Erin Brockovich: Because her mom's really sick too.

Matthew Brockovich: Oh.

Erin Brockovich: [Mr. Masry just fired Erin because she was gone for a week] I've been working, that is all I have been doing, what am I supposed to do check in with you every two seconds?
Brenda: Yes, it's called accountability and...
Erin Brockovich: I'm not talking to you, bitch!
Brenda: Excuse me?

Erin Brockovich: Get out of my face!
