30 of the Best Quotes from the 'Fast and the Furious' Film Franchise (So Far)

The Fast And The Furious franchise has spanned seven films and been racing into our hearts for over 16 years. From their humble beginnings of stealing VHS players in the original Fast And The Furious to driving cars from one building into another building in Furious 7, witnessing the various shenanigans the Fast Family get into has become an enjoyable pastime for both car lovers and regular moviegoers alike. Throughout the franchise we have been introduced to the core crew along with a myriad of other characters that have become a part of that everlasting family Dom (#VinDiesel) constantly boasts about.

With seven installments under its belt, there are a number of fantastically awesome quotes sprinkled throughout each respective film that we will list today. Without further ado, here are 30 of the some of the best.

1. 'Dude I Almost Had You!'

Why Is This Great? Brian's teasing of Dom during this scene in front of a hungry car-racing crowd brings joy to every viewer because of how genuinely excited he is. Even in the face of defeat, Brian looks on the bright side and assures the victor that he "almost had him!" I think it is safe to say this scene was the beginning of the beautiful friendship between Brian and Dom.

2. Mia And Brian Discuss Tuna

Mia: "Every day for the last three weeks you've been coming in here and you've been asking me how the tuna is. Now, it was crappy yesterday, it was crappy the day before and guess what? It hasn't changed."

Brian: "I'll have the tuna."

Mia: "No crust?"

Brian: "No crust."

Why Is This Great? In this short sequence, the audience learns Brian has been coming to Toretto's for three weeks and always orders the tuna despite how "crappy" it is. He tolerates the crappy tuna just to have a few moments with Mia. He also doesn't like crust. If this is not proof of Brian being the most amazing man on Earth, I genuinely do not know what else does.

3. 'I Smell...Skanks. Why Don't You Girls Just Pack It Up Before I Leave Tread Marks On Your Face?'

Why Is This Great? Letty delivers a solid burn towards Dom's excited female fans in this sequence. It's also kind of remarkable how the women immediately believe in her tire threat by leaving with a quick "OK." This just proves how terrifying Letty is and also allows for future viewers to utilize this burn if a similar situation ever arises.

Who Said It? Letty (#MichelleRodriguez)

4. 'I Live My Life A Quarter Mile At A Time. Nothing Else Matters: Not The Mortgage, Not The Store, Not My Team And All Their Bullshit. For Those Ten Seconds Or Less, I'm Free.'

Why Is This Great? During this sequence, we see just how important this lifestyle is for Dom and how driving, even for those short few seconds, causes him to feel free. We are able to delve into the mind of this hulking, beautiful and tanned man while he bonds with our similarly beautiful and tanned protagonist. It's even more heartbreaking when you remember Brian is an undercover officer and growing attached to these guys was not part of the game plan.

Who Said It? Dominic Toretto.

5. Brian's Prospective Partner Needs A Lesson In Nissan Skyline Motors

Brian: "So, Dunn, looks like we're gonna be partners, bro. Could you tell me right quick what would be a better motor for my Skyline, a Gallo 12 or a Gallo 24?"

Agent Dunn: "Um... 24?"

Brian: "I didn't know pizza places made motors."

Why Is This Great? Brian is not happy with his prospective partner who must race alongside him against insanely knowledgeable individuals. To test his skills, Brian offers up a quick demonstration on poor Dunn's inability to realize the place he got his drink from does not make automobile motors. It is a hysterical scene that makes the viewer wonder just how screwed they would have been had Dunn been on assignment.

Who Said It? Brian.

Which Installment Was This Said? 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

6. 'You Might Wanna Keep Your Eyes On The Road, Playboy'

Why Is This Great? This scene is arguably one of the most well-known scenes in the entire Fast franchise. Brian O'Connor interprets Monica's minor warning to pay attention to the road as a challenge, to which he speeds up to over 100mph while staying fixated on Monica's (#EvaMendes) insane beauty. Although this ridiculously dangerous and shouldn't be attempted by anyone, it IS a pretty awesome sequence!

Who Said It? Monica.

7. 'Yeah, Rome! How Do Ya Like Them Apples?!'

Why Is This Great? As Brian and Roman (#Tyrese) race to retrieve a mysterious package, both drivers feel the need to outdo one another. Watching their friendship progress by doing some crazy and dangerous shit is incredibly entertaining and when Brian starts to reverse drive with his middle finger out the window, taunting Rome, the entertainment factor just goes through the roof.

Who Said It? Brian.

Which Installment Was This Said? 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Why Is This Great? As if the ever popular usage of rat torture a.k.a. "Rat In A Bucket" isn't enough, the villainous Carter (Cole Hauser) must illustrate just how evil he is by stating the intricacies involved as the rat attempts to burrow its way out of danger. As our protagonists look on in immense discomfort, Carter continues to torture the detective and actually orders Monica to shut his mouth to shield the screams. It is a wild scene in a PG-13 movie about cars, but it certainly showcases Carter's antagonism.

Who Said It? Carter.

9. 'Eject-o Seat-o, Cuz!'

Why Is This Great? Seeing Roman's immense jubilation at ejecting someone out of his car with the push of a button is just a beautiful thing. You can sense the notion brewing up in his noggin and when the actual ejection occurs it is so satisfying! It makes it even better watching him and Brian communicate through those walkie-talkies that you know would lose connection after like, half a mile.

Who Said It? Roman.

10. Shawn Learns That 'D.K.' Does Not Stand For 'Donkey Kong'

Twinkie: Do you know what "D.K." means?

Shawn Boswell: Donkey Kong?

Twinkie: Drift King.

Why Is This Great? Shawn (#LucasBlack) challenges one of the best drifters in Tokyo to a race he is entirely unfamiliar with. From the beginning of the film the audience learns that Shawn certainly knows how to drive. However, Twinkie (#BowWow) lets him know that drifting does not only consist of what he associates with driving by showing him a drift race. It is an awesome transition from the tranquility of the elevator to the vrooming of the drifting cars and we cannot wait to see how Shawn handles the challenge against a Drift King.

Who Said It? Shawn and Twinkie.

11. 'I Have Money, It's Trust And Character I Need Around Me. You Know, Who You Choose To Be Around You Lets You Know Who You Are. One Car In Exchange For Knowing What A Man's Made Of? That's A Price I Can Live With'

Why Is This Great? It is pretty remarkable how Han (#SungKang) takes Shawn under his wing and this quote is brilliant insight into his character. While many are blinded by the prospect of gaining a fortune, Han decides having such a fortune isn't worthwhile if you can't trust the people around you. We see a beautiful friendship between the these two blossom and it only cost the life of a car.

Who Said It? Han.

12. 'You're Like The Justin Timberlake Of Japan'

Why Is This Great? Note to self: never ask Shawn who he thinks you are because he will have a witty quip to back it up. In this case, he refers to the Drift King himself, Takashi (#BrianTee) as the Justin Timberlake of Japan, and it is a pretty nice retort (despite the fact that Timberlake is fantastic). It illustrates Shawn's sarcasm and, along with the Donkey Kong comment, his vast knowledge of pop culture.

Who Said It? Shawn.

Why Is This Great? Another marveling addition from Han states the alleged above rule for Japanese police cars. There is no solid laws that state their police cars will not pursue cars going over 180, however this article mentions: "...Speed limit violation in Japan is enforced mainly through speed cameras and speed traps (radar and a ensuing road block). As a result, Japanese polices barely engage in those high-speed chase that American polices are used to."

Who Said It? Han.

14. 'I’m So Good, Man, I Could Sell Rubbers To A Monk'

Why Is This Great? Twinkie had a bunch of hilariously awesome lines in Tokyo Drift and the selling-rubbers-to-a-monk line is definitely one of the best. He is clearly well versed in the art of the deal and hey, if he feels confident enough for this hypothetical situation, all the more power to him!

Who Said It? Twinkie.

15. Mia's Astute Interpretation Of Brian

Brian: "I lied to you. I lied to Dom, I lied to everybody. That's what I do best. That's why the feds recruited me."

Mia: "Maybe you're lying to yourself. Maybe you're not the good guy pretending to be the bad guy. Maybe you're the bad guy pretending to be the good guy. Did you ever think about that?"

Brian: "Every day."

Why Is This Great? At this point in the franchise, we are four films in and haven't seen Mia and Brian on-screen together in eight years. Watching them together and they discuss Brian's struggle with his goodness is a rather emotional thing to see, especially since the last time we saw them they were two young bucks debating the merits of the Toretto tuna sandwich.

Who Said It? Mia.

16. 'You Weren't Anyone's Friend'

Why Is This Great? Ouch, this one stung. As Dom and Brian are both in search for the same informant, who happens to be dangling on the edge of the building, Dom busts out this line when Brian states he was Letty's friend as well. Why would you say such a thing, Dom? WAS ANY OF IT REAL?!

Who Said It? Dom.

Which Installment Was This Said? Fast & Furious (2009)

17. 'I'm One Of Those Boys That Appreciates A Fine Body, Regardless Of The Make'

Why Is This Great? I have to hand it to Dom, this is a pretty great, albeit incredibly cheesy line in response to Gisele's (#GalGadot) inquiry about his thoughts on comparing cars to women. Dom is a simple man, he does not care about how fancy a car is or what name it has behind it, as long as the body is Dom-approved, he is a happy camper.

Who Said It? Dom.

Which Installment Was This Said? Fast & Furious (2009)

18. 'You Know I Would've Won That Race If You Didn’t Cheat, Right?'

Why Is This Great? Ugh, isn't the friendship between Dom and Brian so darn adorable? Eight years on, even if he is bloodied up, Brian gives a friendly reminder to Dom that he would have won that race from The Fast And The Furious if Dom didn't cheat. He ignores the fact that the police cruisers are headed up and it could possibly be the last time he sees Dom as a free man — he almost had him!

Who Said It? Brian.

19. 'Your Mistake Is Thinking You Have A Goddamn Choice, Boy'

Why Is This Great? The smartest decision those behind the Fast franchise made was introducing Dwayne #TheRock Johnson as Hobbs. This entire sequence, from the moment Hobbs steps on-screen and declares he is going to arrest Dom and Brian, regardless of any extradition policies, is such an enjoyable thing to watch. Just seeing these two massive dudes pitted against each other promises excitement.

Who Said It? Hobbs.

Which Installment Was This Said? Fast Five (2011)

20. 'They Open At The Same Time I Pull This Trigger. Want Me To Open Them?'

Why Is This Great? OK, we all love Roman's witty quips and occasional misogynistic tendencies, but when Gisele pulls out her gun in response to his line inquiring about what time her legs will be open I cheered. It is a perfectly badass retort that put Roman in his place (and possibly wet himself a little bit).

Who Said It? Gisele.

Which Installment Was This Said? Fast Five (2011)

21. Brian Will Never Let It Go And We Love Him For It

Dom: "We talkin' or we racin'?"

Brian: "Just don't cheat this time."

Dom: [Smiles] "You gotta let that go."

Why Is This Great? Everyone loves a good callback and Brian's insistence that Dom cheated certainly falls into that category. Fast Five was the regeneration this franchise needed, and choosing to include references to the original that released 10 years prior to this one is a beautiful nod to the loyalists in the crowd and intrigued audiences who never watched a Fast film before.

Who Said It? Brian.

Which Installment Was This Said? Fast Five (2011)

22. 'Yeah, But With Cars When You Trade Up They Don't Take Half Your Shit'

Why Is This Great? Hobbs and Tej (#Ludacris) bonding during the sixth installment allowed for some hysterical line delivery. In this instance, Tej delicately describes the emotion connection one may have for their car and when Hobbs compares it to the beautiful bond of marriage, Tej remarks that although one may trade up, they don't have to worry about their older car taking "half your shit." Hobbs genuine smirk after this line definitely makes the scene.

Who Said It? Tej.

Which Installment Was This Said? Furious 6 (2013)

23. 'You're Loyal To A Fault. Your Code Is About Family And That's Great In The Holidays, But It Makes You Predictable. And In Our Line Of Work, Predictable Means Vulnerable. And That Means I Can Reach Out And Break You Whenever I Want'

Why Is This Great? Owen Shaw's (#LukeEvan) face to face with Dom gives insight into his character and how disposable he views his crew. Pinpointing the exact weakness in Dom (his crew is his family) is something he does not take lightly. Watching Shaw attempt to threaten Dom with this revelation brings up an immediate cause for concern — shit is going to go down.

Who Said It? Shaw.

Which Installment Was This Said? Furious 6 (2013)

24. 'It's On The House'

Why Is This Great? Roman needs a soda at this exact moment Hobbs wants to explain the Shaw situation. What does Hobbs do in order to appease our thirsty friend? Politely shoots the vending machine and offers him the drink "on the house." Did I mention how great of a decision it was to include Dwayne Johnson in the franchise? His nonchalant handling of his weapon and calm demeanor is spectacular!

Who Said It? Hobbs.

Which Installment Was This Said? Furious 6 (2013)

25. 'You Don't Turn Your Back On Family, Even When They Do'

Why Is This Great? If you manage to be referred to as "family" by Dominic Toretto, you are set for life. Even when Brian brings up the idea that Letty may not be the Letty they knew all these years, he insists staying with family regardless of any hesitation or animosity. The idea of family is a constant thread in this franchise and this line truly illustrates just how important it is.

Who Said It? Dom.

Which Installment Was This Said? Furious 6 (2013)

26. 'You Just Earned Yourself A Dance With The Devil, Boy'

Why Is This Great? You know Hobbs is dead serious when he tacks on the word "boy" at the end of his sentence. It doesn't matter what looming threat is present or how strong this threat may be, Hobbs doesn't give a shit. Of all the devils to earn a dance with, angry Hobbs is one I definitely would not want to tango with.

Who Said It? Hobbs.

Which Installment Was This Said? Furious 7 (2015)

27. 'You Risk Life And Limb To Save The Free World, And What Does It Give You? Jello And A Bad '70s TV Show'

Why Is This Great? Hey Dom, I resent the notion that Lou Ferrigno's The Incredible Hulk is at all a "bad '70s TV show!" It is nice to see Dom visit Hobbs in the hospital after breaking almost every part of his body. Dom believes he deserves better than delicious jello, which is kind of heartwarming considering their relationship two movies ago. There is also a profound moment when Dom learns that Hobbs is a father and we all swoon.

Who Said It? Dom.

Which Installment Was This Said? Furious 7 (2015)

28. 'Words Ain't Even Been Invented Yet'

Why Is This Great? HOW AWESOME IS THIS THREAT? Chills, I tell you, chills! We all grew incredibly attached to Han during his run in the franchise and I think it is safe to say had Shawn asked us what we're planning on doing to those responsible for Han's death, we'd all try to come up with something as menacing as Dom's words.

Who Said It? Dom.

Which Installment Was This Said? Furious 7 (2015)

29. 'You're Not That Charming, Bitch'

Why Is This Great? Alright, #RondaRousey's performance as Kara is arguably not that great, however, this line she delivers is actually fantastic. Kara sees Letty standing beside an unconscious guard and utters this great line when Letty suggests her charm was the cause for his unconsciousness. Although, I know I'm not the only one that thinks Michelle Rodriguez's charm could easily knock a person out.

Who Said It? Kara.

Which Installment Was This Said? Furious 7 (2015)

30. 'I Used To Say I Live My Life A Quarter Mile At A Time And I Think That's Why We Were Brothers, Because You Did Too. No Matter Where You Are, Whether It's A Quarter Mile Away Or Halfway Across The World, You'll Always Be With Me. And You'll Always Be My Brother'

Why Is This Great? Dom ended up giving the most heartbreaking callback with those final moments of Furious 7. Following Paul Walker's tragically untimely death during filming, the last scene of the film involves Brian and Dom separating for one last time. It is a ridiculously emotional punch to the heart after growing more and more attached to these characters and actors for fourteen years, yet that final goodbye and message from Dom beautifully concludes Brian and Walker's journey.

Who Said It? Dom.

Which Installment Was This Said? Furious 7 (2015)

The eighth installment of the Fast And The Furious franchise, #TheFateOfTheFurious sees the return of Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese and Ludacris and also introduces a mysterious woman (#CharlizeTheron), who seduces Dom into the world of crime he can’t seem to escape. The film releases on April 14th, 2017 and you can check out the trailer below!
