"We have some new information about the incident at your former condo." "Yes." "I don't know if you're aware, but someone sprayed Freon into your front-door lock." "They used a chisel to shatter the cylinder." "No, I wasn't aware of that." "(thinks) I am Jack's cold sweat." "Does this sound strange to you?" "Yes, sir, strange." "Very strange." " The dynamite..." " Dynamite?" "..left a residue of ammonium oxalate potassium perchloride." " Do you know what this means?" " No, what does it mean?" "It means it was home-made." "I'm sorry." "This is just coming as quite a shock to me, sir." "Whoever set this dynamite could have blown out your pilot light days before the explosion." " The gas wasjust a detonator." " Who would go and do that?" " l'll ask the questions." " Tell him." "Tell him the liberator who destroyed my property realigned my perceptions." "Excuse me." "Are you there?" "I am listening." "It's hard to know what to make of this." "Have you recently made enemies who might have access to home-made dynamite?" " Enemies?" " Reject civilisation,... ..especially material possessions."

" Just tell him you fucking did it!" "Tell him you blew it all up!" "That's what he wants to hear." " Are you still there?" " Wait." "Are you saying that I'm a suspect?" "No. I may need to talk to you, so you let me know if you're gonna leave town." " OK?" " OK." "Except for their humping, Tyler and Marla were never in the same room." "My parents pulled this exact same act for years." "The condom is the glass slipper of our generation." "You slip one on when you meet a stranger." "You... dance all night." "Then you throw it away." "The condom, I mean." "Not the stranger." "What?" "I got this dress at a thrift store for $1 ." "It was worth every penny." "It's a bridesmaid's dress." "Someone loved it intensely... ..for one day."

"What are we doing tonight?" "Tonight... we make soap." "Really?" "To make soap, first we render fat." "The salt balance has to be just right... ..so the best fat for soap comes from humans." " Wait, what is this place?" " A liposuction clinic." "Pay dirt!" "Richest, creamiest fat in the world." "Fat of the land!" "No!" "Don't pull it, don't pull it!" " Oh, God!" " Give me another one." "(tyyler) As the fat renders, the tallows float to the surface." "Like in Boy Scouts." " lt's hard to imagine you as a Boy Scout." " Keep stirring." "Once the tallow hardens, you skim off a layer of glycerin." "Add nitric acid, you've got nitroglycerin." "Then add sodium nitrate and sawdust, you've got dynamite." "Yeah, with enough soap, one could blow up just about anything." "Tyler was full of useful information." "People found clothes got cleaner when washed at a certain point in the river." " You know why?" " No." "Human sacrifices were once made on the hills above this river." "Bodies burnt." "Water permeated the ashes to create lye." "This is lye." "The crucial ingredient." "Once it mixed with the melted body fat, a white soapy discharge crept into the river." "May I see your hand, please?" " (kisses)" " What is this?" " This is a chemical burn." " Agh!" "Aaagh!" "It will hurt more than any burn and it will leave a scar." "Meditation worked for cancer, it could work now." " Don't shut the pain out." " Oh, God!"

"You're feeling premature enlightenment." "It's the greatest moment of your life, and you're off somewhere else!" "I am not!" "Shut up!" "Our fathers were our models for God." "If our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about God?" "Listen to me." "You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you." "He never wanted you." "In all probability, He hates you." "This is not the worst thing that can happen." "We don't need Him!" " l agree!" " Fuck damnation, fuck redemption." "We are God's unwanted children?" "So be it!" " l'm getting water!" " You can use water and make it worse or..." " Or use vinegar to neutralise the burn." " Please let me up!" "First, you have to give up." "First, you have to know, not fear,... ..know that some day, you're gonna die." "You don't know how this feels!" "It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." "OK. (whimpers)" "Congratulations." "You're one step closer to hitting the bottom." "Tyler sold his soap to department stores at $20 a bar." "God knows what they charged." " This is the best soap." " Why, thank you, Susan." "It was beautiful." "We were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them." "He was wearing his yellow tie." "I didn't wear a tie to work any more."

"You're a brave man to order this." "You're a genius, sir." "You said if anyone ever interferes with Project Mayhem, even you,... ..we gotta get his balls." " Don't fight." " lt's a powerful gesture, Mr Durden." " lt will set an example." " You're making a big mistake!" " You said you'd say that." " l'm not Tyler Durden!" " You told us you'd say that too." " All right. I am Tyler Durden." "Listen to me. I'm giving you a direct order." " We're aborting this mission now." " You said you would definitely say that." "Are you fucking out of your minds?"
