Fight Club (1999)

Zach Grenier: Richard Chesler (Regional Manager)

Quotes 

• Richard Chesler : [1:04:51]  The first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club?

  Narrator : [Voice-over]  I'm half asleep again; I must've left the original in the copy machine.

  Richard Chesler : The second rule of Fight Club - is this yours?

  Narrator : Huh?

  Richard Chesler : Pretend you're me, make a managerial decision: you find this, what would you do?

  Narrator : [pauses]  Well, I gotta tell you: I'd be very, very careful who you talk to about that, because the person who wrote that... is dangerous.

  [Gets up from the chair] 

  Narrator : [Talking slowly]  And this button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho might just snap, and then stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers. This might be someone you've known for years. Someone very, very close to you.

  Narrator : [Voice-over]  Tyler's words coming out of my mouth.

  [Snatches the piece of paper from boss' hands] 

  Narrator : [Voice-over]  And I used to be such a nice guy.

  Narrator : Or maybe you shouldn't bring me every little piece of trash you happen to pick up.

  [Phone rings] 

  Narrator : [Into phone]  Compliance and Liability...?

  Marla Singer : My tit's gonna rot off.

  Narrator : [to boss]  Would you excuse me? I need to take this.

• Richard Chesler : Get the fuck out of here, you're fired!

  Narrator : I have a better solution. You keep me on the payroll as an outside consultant and in exchange for my salary, my job will be never to tell people these things that I know. I don't even have to come into the office, I can do this job from home.

• Richard Chesler : Is that your blood?

  Narrator : Some of it, yeah.

• Narrator : Do you want me to deprioritize my current reports until you advise me of a status upgrade?

  Richard Chesler : Yes. Make these your primary action items.
