Quote from Empire Records


(Warren has just been caught stealing a number of CDs from Empire Records, a music store. The staff is bringing him into the back room of the store to hold him and report him to the police.)

Joe: (on the phone) Yeah, this is Joe Reeves from the Empire Records store . . . we have a shoplifter in custody . . . uh-huh . . . (to shoplifter) how old are you?
Warren: Old enough to kick your butt through your skull and splatter your brains on the wall.
Joe: (into phone) Yeah, he's a juvenile.
Lucas: (to Warren) No. (smacks Warren on the forehead)
Joe: (hanging up phone) What's your name?
Warren: Warren Beatty.
Joe: (smirking) Okay, Warren . . . stand up. (Lucas and A.J. pull Warren up from the couch, Joe holds the CDs out to him) I want you to hold these against your chest, stand against the wall, and they're gonna take a photograph of you
Warren: Why don't you go shove 'em up your ass?
Lucas: Because it would hurt a lot, Warren.
