Review of Taxi (2004) by Dylan W — 19 Jul 2008

'Belle: We've gotta play to your strengths. And thinkin ain't one of them.'.

'Washburn's Mom: Andy is not a really a strong driver. See, he had a really bad experience when he had his first driving lesson. So...

Washburn: Driving lesson? You call that a driving lesson?

Washburn's Mom: Yes!

Washburn: Dad let go of the wheel and said "You better steer or you're gonna kill the whole family".

Washburn's Mom: Yeah! It's good for you.

Washburn: We where going 90, I was six!

Washburn's Mom: That's right! And that's the way he taught you to swim!

Washburn: I can't swim either!'.

'Belle: What are you trying to do?... A 78-point turn?'.

'Lt. Marta Robbins: You're fired. You're not on suspension. You're not on temporary leave. You're fired! Ms. Williams, I'm giving your license back with a warning. If I catch you driving that thing in this city again, it is mine. Andy, as a friend, I'm sorry.

Washburn: But, Lieutenant...

Lt. Marta Robbins: Andy, please! You left me no choice. Now give me your badge.

[Washburn hands over his badge scorched by Belle's boyfriend, Jesse].

Lt. Marta Robbins: What?

[exhales, then walks away].

Belle: Hey... wanna share a cab?

Washburn: [sadly] Yeah.'.

'Washburn: [pulls out his badge] See this? This is a badge! It means your not allowed to *scream* at me!

Belle: [takes the badge] Ah Ah Ah.

Washburn: [tries to get badge back] Come on now. Give it back.

[goes to grab badge and ends up flipping over, then stands up with a gun pulled out].

Washburn: Hand it over cabbie!

Belle: Whoa, man! Be cool!

Washburn: Be cool? I had to flip and pull this out of my ankle holster! Now gimme that and shush!

[goes to grab badge, he doesn't get it and Belle gets the gun too].

Washburn: Ah!

Belle: Ha. Yeah! How do you like me to point it at you!'.
