Lucky Number Slevin/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Pretty much anything Slevin says, but if one had to pick a moment, it's when Elvis and Slow meet Slevin:

Slow: Tell it to the one legged man so he can bump it off down the road.
Slevin: ...
Elvis: ...

    • Or shortly thereafter:

Elvis: Nick, Slevin, Clark Kent, whatever the fuck your name is--the Virgin Mary herself could come waltzing up in here with her fine ass titties hanging out and everything and if she said your name was Jesus Christ, I still gotta take you to see The Boss. Know why?
Slevin: No.
Elvis: Orders. Now, you do know what orders is, right? Orders is orders.
Slevin: So I guess no one ever taught you not to use the word you're defining in the definition.
Elvis: (punches Slevin in the gut) Say something else! I will break your motherfuckin' nose, I ain't playin' with you!
Slevin: My nose is already broken.
(cut to him with a bloody nose in the backseat of their car)

    • Another notable one:

Lindsey: So what are you gonna say?
Slevin: The same thing a man with two penises says when his tailor asks him if he dresses to the right or to the left.
Lindsey: ...What's that?
Slevin: Yes.

    • The back and forth between Slevin and the cops when they grab him off the street for a quick word is incredible. Like many of Slevin's conversations, it ends with him getting punched.
  • Slevin vs. the mugger. It's just plain priceless.

Slevin: ...am I being mugged?
Mugger: (gives him an insolent glare and punches him in the nose)

  • The delivery of this line is nothing short of amazing.
  • "I'm a world class assassin, fuckhead."
  • The Boss is pretty damn scary and intimidating, but he does have a knack for being a Deadpan Snarker.

Slevin: I thought he was the Boss.
The Boss: (glances at his bodyguard) Why? Do we look alike?

  • A Funny Background Event: The entire time the Boss is explaining Slevin's troubling predicament, Slevin is trying to pour himself a glass of water. It seems to exasperate the hell out of the Boss if you watch his facial expressions.
  • Lindsay and Slevin's entire adorable conversation about James Bond. Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
  • Slevin accidentally flashing Lindsay is funny enough, but the scene is immediately topped when Lindsay rushes back into the apartment a second time to try and catch another look. The smug look on Slevin's face is priceless.

Lindsay: I wanted to try and catch the next show.
Slevin: I don't go on again until eight.
