The Beach (film) Quotes

Leonardo DiCaprio as Richard

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "And me? I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for. Because it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something. And if you find that moment -- It lasts forever."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "After the funeral, we all tried to get back to normal."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "But it just didn't seem right"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "It became clear the problem was Christo"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "You see, in a shark attack, or any other major tragedy, I guess the important thing is to get eaten and die, in which case there's a funeral and somebody makes a speech and everybody says what a good guy you were"

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "It's the hanging around in between that really pisses people off."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn't need to be a good reason. Taking photographs of the night sky, for example. Now, in the long run, that's just the kind of dumb, irritating habit that would cause you to split up. But in the haze of infatuation, it's just what you've been searching for all these years."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "My name is Richard. So what else do you need to know? Stuff about my family, or where I'm from? None of that matters. Not once you cross the ocean and cut yourself loose, looking for something more beautiful, something more exciting and yes, I admit, something more dangerous. So after eighteen hours in the back of an airplane, three dumb movies, two plastic meals, six beers and absolutely no sleep, I finally touch down; in Bangkok."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Alright alright alright alright. Now before I start there's-there's just a couple things you have to remember -- Number one: you have to remain calm, right? And number two: you have to show no fear, because the sharks, you see, the sharks they can sense that fear, just as easily as they can sense blood. And so it went for me. Just as I knew it would. Just as nature had ordained, its jaw wide open. Row upon row of these razor sharp teeth glinting underwater like jagged diamonds. Its tail fin sweeping back and forth as it surged in for the kill. I swear to God, my whole life flashed before my eyes. Really, I had nothing left to offer except for pure reflex. Pure relfex, and mankind's basic drive for survival that somehow shouts NO. I WILL NOT. DIE. TODAY. And at that instant man I knew it was either the shark or me. The shark knew it. I knew it. But jeez God, i-it's nothing p-personal, ya know, it's just the way the world works, right? It's nature. But, if I remember correctly, in that last glimmer of its eyes -- there was a moment between us -- where it said hey Richard man -- enjoy your dinner."
