Focus movie quotes follow what happens when one successful con man's game is thrown off by a beautiful blond. The romantic comedy was written and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Focus opened in theaters on February 27, 2015.
In Focus, Nicky Spurgeon (Will Smith) is an accomplished con man who has build up quite a successful and well known career in the game. Nicky meets Jess Barrett (Margot Robbie) and takes her under his wing after seeing potential in her. All is going well until the two get a little closer than Nicky would like, specifically romantically, leading Nicky to leave her.
Years later, the two run into one another when Nicky is involved in a long con with an international race car owner (Gerald McRaney and Rodrigo Santoro). While Jess swears that she's on Nicky's side and too is conning the billionaire, in a business like Nicky's where loyalty and trust are non-existent, it's hard to know on which side she truly lies.
Focus opens in theaters alongside a handful of other highly anticipated movies such as Hot Tub Time Machine 2, Kingsmen: The Secret Service, McFarland, USA, and Fifty Shades of Grey.

There's a Science
Nicky: "I can convince anyone of anything. I once convinced a man that a warehouse was the Federal Reserve. So I'm good."
Jess: "You're Nicky Spurgeon. They call you the best inside man that's ever been."
Nicky: "There's a science to getting people to trust you and then you move in for the kill. It's all about emotion, connection."
Though Nicky and Jess get to know one another, Jess already knows a bit about Nicky's reputation in the game. Nicky does not deny that he's good at what he does and sees potential in Jess as well.
What About the Big Con?
Jess: "What about the big con?"
Nicky: "Oh, you mean the one where we make so much money we all retire?"
Jess isn't satisfied with simple jobs, pickpocketing and the like. She wants a big job, one that could set them up for life. Nicky has something in mind but it doesn't necessarily involve her.
Been in This Game a Really Long Time
Nicky: "Been in this game a really long time. I had what I needed and then a girl walked in."
Nicky explains briefly his experience in the con game. All was well and he was on top of his game, that was until Jess came into his life.
Cannot Believe You Lied to Me
Nicky: "I cannot believe you lied to me."
Jess: "You can't believe I lied?"
Nicky: "I can't believe it."
Jess: "Oh, that's so rich from you."
Nicky: "That's what you want to say to me?"
Jess: "Yeah, cause you're always lying, Nicky, and now we're dead."
When they are captured, Jess and Nicky trade the blame of lying to one another. While he always lies to her, he's disappointed when she lies back.
You Lost Everyone's Money
Jess: "You lost everyone's money, my money. I think you are losing it."
Jess is alarmed to learn that Nicky has lost all of their money. Whether she believes he did it intentionally as a con or thinks it was chance is still unknown.
I Wouldn't Trust Him
Jess: "Are you working an angle?"
Nicky: "I wouldn't trust him if I were you."
Jess: "But I should trust you?"
Nicky, working a big job with a race car owner, is surprised to see old friend Jess with his mark. They exchange a few words about trust, something neither of them know much about.
I Want In
Jess: "I know you're doing something big. I want in. Can we skip the part where I lead you to believe there is some earth-shattering hump in the works?"
Nicky: "There's no earth-shattering hump in the works?!"
Jess: "No"
Nicky: "I don't even get thinly veiled allure?"
Jess: "No"
Nicky: "That's some of my favorite s***."
Jess: "I'm sorry"
Jess knows Nicky has something up his sleeve and wants in. She also wants to skip the foreplay with Nicky and get right down to business. Poor Nicky, missing his favorite part.
You Hitting That?
Farhad: "Who's the girl?"
Nicky: "Her name is Jess. She's our intern."
Farhad: "You hitting that?"
Jess: "Hi, I'm right here!"
Nicky: "No, Farhad, I'm not hitting that."
Farhad: "You should hit that."
Farhad, seemingly unconcerned with the fact that Jess is in the car with them, asks Nicky if he and Jess are romantically involved. When Nicky responds no, Farhad suggests they should be.
Never Drop the Con
Jess: "So, what now?"
Nicky: "Can I walk you somewhere?"
Jess: "I'm staying here... upstairs."
Nicky: "Oh, really"
...
Jess: "Oh my god! It's my husband."
Nicky: "Whoa!"
Jared: "Give me one reason why I shouldn't do it."
Nicky: "I'm drawing a blank."
Jared: "What?"
Jess: "He's onto us."
Nicky: "First of all, you've gotta wait until she gets my pants off and then you gotta give me a chance to run. That's how you get the money. Never drop the con. Die with the lie."
Jess: "Then why'd you come up here?"
Nicky: "Professional curiosity and I like boobs. I figured it was a win-win."
In their first meeting, Jess and Jared try to con and rob Nicky. Little do they know, he was aware of their plan the whole time and only motivated by curiosity and boobs.
Two Kinds of People in This World
Nicky: "There's two kinds of people in this world. There's hammers and there's nails. You decide which one you want to be. There's no room for heart in this game. It will get you killed."
Nicky gives Jess a choice on how she wants to live her life. She can be the hammer or the nail. It's her choice, but she needs to leave her heart out of it either way.
