The Mask: Our love is like a red, red rose... And I am a little thorny.
The Mask: Ooh, somebody stop me!
Charlie Schumacher: A girl like that is always looking for the BBD. Bigger Better Deal.
Stanley Ipkiss: You don't know that, Charlie. She's an artist. She's... She's sensitive.
Charlie Schumacher: Stanley, listen to me. That girl will tear your heart out, put it in a blender and hit "frappe."
The Mask: It's party time. P, A, R, T. Y? Because I gotta!
The Mask: SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSMOKIN'!
[Doyle and a cop are going through the Mask's pockets.]
Dolye: A picture of Calloway's wife.
Lt. Calloway: What? Margaret! You son of a bitch!
The Mask: Geez. I'd figure you'd have a sense of humor. After all, you married her.
Charlie Schumacher: Gee, I wish MY daddy owned a bank. Then I could be a rich little creep too.
Dorian Tyrell: 50 grand. 50 grand to the man who finds that green-faced son of a bitch before the cops do. I want you to get the word out to every street hustler, to every lowlife in this town, you understand? I want him here tomorrow, alive.
Dr. Arthur Neuman: We all wear masks... Metaphorically speaking.
Eddy: The money better be here, Ipkiss. Or you're gonna "Ipkiss" your ass goodbye.
Mr. Dickey: IPKISS! You're 40 minutes late. Now that's the same as stealing!
Mask: Hold on, Sugar! Daddy's got a sweet tooth tonight!
Peggy Brandt: Do you know how hard it is to find a decent man in this town? Most of them think monogamy is some kind of wood.
Answer: I think that the reason he is so grumpy and cynical is because he has been a police detective for SO long that all the crime he's investigated has made him jaded. I think that it is the same with any regular human being, one can only do the same thing day in and day out for so long before it affects you, negatively. Plus his home life may have been a contributing factor also. As to why he didn't thank Stanley, maybe he just didn't like him.
