"St. Vincent" movie quotes follow the unlikely friendship between a young boy and a drunk old man. The comedy film was written and directed by Theodore Melfi. After positive buzz following its premiere at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, "St. Vincent" opened in theaters on October 10, 2014.
In "St. Vincent," single mother Maggie (Melissa McCarthy) and her young son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher) move to Brooklyn, NY, next door to a drunken, grouchy and overall unpersonable old man Vincent (Bill Murray). The broke Vincent, looking to earn a few bucks, offers to babysit Oliver after school, to which Maggie agrees.
But when Maggie learns that Vincent has been taking Oliver to bars, strip clubs and race tracks, she soon wonders if leaving her son with Vincent, and sometimes stripper Daka (Naomi Watts) was a good idea. But despite their differences and inability to fit in among their own peers, Vincent and Oliver find a unique friendship with one another, one that causes both of them to change in very positive ways.
"St. Vincent" is one of several great films in theaters in the fall of 2014 just like "The Judge," "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day," "Gone Girl," "Men, Women & Children," "Left Behind," "The Equalizer," "Pride," "Good People," "The Boxtrolls," "This is Where I Leave You," "The Maze Runner," "A Walk Among the Tombstones," "Dolphin Tale 2," "No Good Deed," "The Skeleton Twins," and "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby."

I Can Watch the Kid After School
Vincent: "I can watch the kid after school."

Who Pissed in Your Cheerios?
Maggie: "Vin, what kind of a man takes a child to a bar and to the racetrack?"
Vincent: "Who pissed in your Cheerios?"

Except You
Daka: "He don't like people. People don't like him. Except you, why you like him?"
Daka of all people points out the unique bond Oliver and Vincent share. Neither are really popular among their peers but somehow, the two fit together wonderfully.
A Lady of the Night
Maggie: "So, how do you and Vincent know each other?"
Daka: "I'm working for this man. I'm also dancer."
…
Oliver: "Who is she?"
Vincent: "A lady of the night"
…
Maggie: "Do you know what that means?"
Oliver: "She works at night?"
Maggie learns that Oliver, by association with Vincent, has been hanging around with a stripper. Thankfully, Oliver doesn't seem to understand the seedy details of Daka's profession.
You Need to Defend Yourself
Vincent: "You need to defend yourself or you get mowed down."
Oliver: "I'm small if you haven't noticed."
Vincent: "Yeah, so was Hitler."
Oliver: "That's a horrible comparison."
…
Vincent: "I'm going to show you one thing. Do it right, break the guy's nose."
Oliver: "Break his nose?"
Vincent: "Relax, you're not going to get it right."
Vincent sees Oliver getting picked on at school and tries to teach him some self defense skills. His work on building Oliver's courage and self esteem, however, needs some improvement.
I Want to Close This Account
Vincent: "I want to close this account."
Bank Teller: "112 dollars and 14 cents"
Vincent: "All right, small bills"
Bank Teller: "No, you're overdrawn that much."
Vincent: "What does that mean?"
Bank Teller: "It means, you hit zero. Here's zero. You went below zero."
Vincent: "Okay"
While it's no shock to him, Vincent is flat broke. Actually, he is worse than broke, in debt, and needs to find a way to earn a few bucks here and there.
Mowing Vin's Lawn
Maggie: "Hey!"

Vincent: "I was sleeping. Thanks for that."
Maggie: "All right, let's go. I'm going to make dinner. You can do homework."
Oliver: "Oh, I already ate."
Maggie: "Stop mowing, you're mowing dirt! Let's go!"
Vincent: "He's fed. The homework's checked. I've done my job. I'm taking a break."
Maggie: "Why is he mowing your dirt patch?"
Oliver: "Oh, yeah, he's paying me hourly."
Vincent: "I'm showing him how the world works. You work, you get paid, you drink."
Maggie: "Are you drinking alcohol?"
Vincent: "I honestly don't remember."
Maggie comes home to find Oliver mowing the dirt patch in Vincent's yard. While this puzzles her, both Vincent and Oliver have perfectly logical explanations for the events.
Here's a Dime
Vincent: "Here's a dime. Call your mom."
Oliver: "It costs more than a dime."
Vincent: "All right, here, if it costs more than that, call collect."
When Oliver asks for more than a dime to call his mother, a lap full of cigarette butts and loose change was not what he had in mind. Though when you're with Vincent, anything is possible.

Brother Geraghty: "We have lots of time."
