Billy Campbell: Mitch Hiller

Quotes 

• Mitch : All right, man against woman. Is that really fair?

  Slim : Fair for whom?

• Mitch : [answering the phone]  Is this my little croissant?

  Slim : No, it's your loaf of bread.

• Mitch : You wanna fight me, man to man?

  Slim : Woman, Mitch.

• Slim : Are you scared?

  Mitch : Of what?

  Slim : Of me.

• Mitch : You'll never see Gracie again.

  Slim : You never will.

• [Slim has just talked to Mitch's mother] 

  Mitch : Whatever happened to privacy?

  Slim : Well, I guess it's dead, along with chivalry and fidelity.

• Slim : Self-defense is not murder.

  Mitch : You don't have the guts.

• Slim : I'm your wife and you cannot do this to me anymore!

  Mitch : [slaps her]  What? I can't hit you?

  Slim : No you can't!

  Mitch : [punches her in the face]  You want to fight? I'm a man, honey. It's no contest. You have to understand, Slim, and I thought you did. I make the money here, so I set the rules, right? It's my rules. You with me?

  Slim : It's your rules.

  Mitch : Yeah.

  Slim : What if I don't like the rules?

  Mitch : If you don't like them? Well come on Sweetie, life isn't just stuff we like, is it? We have to take the good with the bad, don't we? That's what marriage is. So today for you, maybe it's a bad day, but tomorrow may be great.

  Slim : Tomorrow will be great.

• Mitch : Do you have any idea how bad things can get?

  Slim : Educate me.

  Mitch : Slim, I'm a determined man. I was determined to have you, and I did. This house. My company. I am, and always will be, a person who gets what he wants.

• Slim : [while hugging Mitch]  I can smell her.

  Mitch : What?

  Slim : Her perfume! Darcel or whoever.

  Mitch : Slim, we just had a drink...

  Slim : --STOP IT! Okay, you're caught! I caught you! And you're not gonna talk your way out of this!

  Slim : [after a brief pause]  How many, Mitch? How many are there? How many have there been?

  Mitch : Why does it matter? It's not that our sex life hasn't been good, it's been great, Slim. But I'm a man. Men and women have different needs. That's okay. Darcel is... she's willing to take care of that and maybe... maybe that's better for everybody.

  Slim : You know what? It's better for you! You have a pretty good deal, don't you? I mean, you go out, you fool around! I sit here, I take care of your house, your kid! Well, no more, Mitch! That's it! The party is over!

  Mitch : Calm down!

  Slim : No! I'm not gonna do this anymore! Okay? I'm not gonna sit here and take it and take it and take it! Sorry! I love you, yes! But I am not a doormat! I'm your wife! I'm your wife! And you cannot do this to me! You cannot do this to me anymore!

  Mitch : [He slaps her across the face, shocking her]  What? I can't hit you?

  Slim : No, you can't!

  Mitch : [He punches her in the face, knocking her to the floor]  You wanna fight? I'm a man, honey, it's no contest. You have to understand, Slim, and I thought you did. I make the money here, so I set the rules, right? It's my rules. You with me?

  Slim : [Whispering]  It's your rules?

  Mitch : [Whispering]  Yeah.

  Slim : [Whispering]  And what if I don't like the rules?

  Mitch : If you don't like them? Well, come on, sweetie. Life isn't just stuff we like, isn't it? We have to take the good with the bad, don't we? That's what marriage is. So, for you, maybe today is a bad day. Tomorrow may be great.

  Slim : [Standing up]  Tomorrow will be great.

  Mitch : Yeah. Today... it's the price you pay for having such a good life. I'm gonna go out... okay? This is gonna be better, don't you think? I don't have to sneak around and pretend I'm going to work. I can just say... I'm going to Darcel's. I'll be back in a few hours.

• Mitch : You know, love is a scary thing. How powerful it is, what it does to you. That's what happened here. You see, if I ever think of... I just, I can't... I *refuse* to live without you. I think you understand what I'm saying.
