- One of my favorite monologues in cinema. See the whole movie if you can. Yes, Alec Baldwin was once this young, also see him in Glengarry Glen Ross where he delivers another epic monologue.
This is "You can't handle the truth" done with an inside voice.
He definitely said the quiet part out loud...
written by the same man.
@@truthlifefishing1730 Yes, I believe both movies were written by Aaron Sorkin, yes?
Alex Baldwin is one of the few who can do scary, normal, and comedy, all very well.
George C Scott was also so great.
“First prize is a Cadillac Eldorado
Second prize is a set of steak knives,
Third prize is you’re fired
You’re wanting. !!!!!! “
Say what you want about Alec Baldwin, but he can deliver a monologue.
He was sent from downtown. From Mitch & Murray.
Brilliant. Baldwin is up there with some of the greatest actors of all time.
Okay I'll say what I want - he's a tool.
Love him as an actor, but he's a horrible human being.
@@toddgaak422
Let’s not get carried away. I mean he’s not a child molester. He has a bad temper, but this whole tragedy shooting on the set is complete garbage. When the actor is handed a firearm he assumes the gun wrangler has made it safe. It wasn’t his fault.
Always be closing
ABC!
Perfect actor for the role. Coffee is for closers
always be closing
and he indeed closed that scene
spoiler----------------------------
made them settle and his share was half
If you can't close, you are shit! Do you know what I drove hear tonight? ..... Another great part! " My names Levine! I been sent hear on a mission of mercy "

I used to be a salesman ………it’s a tough racket (takes a sip of his drink)
This was a really good thriller with so many plot twists!! It had excellent acting and directing as well. Definitely worth the watch.
agree. was pretty good.
Nicole is gorgeous in this film.
Dead Calm is a great one for her too. 🔥
when alec was still normal.....and Nicole Kidman still looked like a human being....
She doesn't look all that bad. On the other hand, Janine Turner, Melanie Griffith, Denise Richards, Courtney Cox, Megan Fox, Lisa Rinna, Vivica Fox, Lil Kim, Serena Williams, Golden Brooks. And then, there 's Mickey Rourke and Carrot Top like WTF!
Plastic surgery is the death of Hollywood.
@@doublepromo8240 only her eyes can move. just because others are in a worse state doesn 't make her look look all that bad.
@@doublepromo8240 Youth is an incredibly ephemeral blessing that is taken away before we have enough time to appreciate it.
Using George C. Scott in a perfunctory role like this is like using a bazooka to kill a fly--an utter waste of valuable resources.
When Alec Baldwin makes mistakes, they tend to be big ones.
DENNIS!!
He would have been an interesting Bruce Wayne
He played the Shadow, which was actually an inspiration for Batman
Yes, but he would have to follow an exercise and diet plan to lose some body fat and become more muscular, because you can't be Batman/Bruce Wayne and look like an ordinary guy. Dpnt needs to be a Bodybuilder, but certainly as someone who could fight and win a physical confrontation
that guy's eyebrows are amazing
Peter Gallagher?
This watch costs more than your car.
Hah, another great monologue by him.
"Go ahead and read your Bible... Dennis."
Alec Baldwin is one of the mst most underrated actors in the history of American film. His monologues are nothing short of legendary. Go watch Glendary Glenn Ross.
How is he underrated?
If only he hadn't shot that poor woman.
@@jx14aby if only you knew how film sets work and who is responsible for what. Not guilty and case thrown out by the way due to prosecutors withholding important evidence cuz they tried to frame him.
@@RossLife83 Hollywood doesn't get to makes its own rules about firearm safety.
@@jx14abyactually, yes, they do, when said gun is supposed to fire blanks and the armourer responsible for that, not the actor, doesn't do their job. This was proven in court and he was deemed innocent so get over it. You don't know what you're talking about lol.
The moral ..don't let God handle a prop gun.
Why not? God gives life and God takes away.
Good one.
Not his fault
@@stevenosullivan187 Of course it was. He violated the first rule of firearm safety, and because of that, a woman is dead.
Dumb.
The voice the hair the swagger .
It’s why he could convincingly carry a scene like this lol. You could totally imagine an extremely accomplished, super attractive, well-spoken dude being THIS full of himself.
Now I can’t unsee it 😂 it looks like a prosthetic.
“I once claimed I was God during a deposition.”
Underrated
😂😂😂❤🎉GOD u r hilarious!😇😄
I make that claim each day. Is that wrong?😊
@@Letnothinggotowasteonly when your pride cometh before fall. Be ready
And ?
Its a fair assessment to say the god complex is very much a belief among dotors/ stroke, surgeons, you virtually are the final conduit ,on an operating table ,between a patient living or dying ,there's no denying that feeling. Of without me ,without my skill my ability i am your last hope , therefore i am the only god you need.
I’m in sales so I watch Glengarry Glen Ross at least once a month
Lol good luck with that
Does watching Glengarry Glen Ross make you a better salesman or just a prize a-hole ?
There’s a bunch of movies with good monologues
@@pmarreckcould you recommend me more movies
@@negusprime well, Glengarry Glen Ross for one, which has been quoted a few times here in the comments already. Others: A Few Good Men, Network, Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting, Shawshank Redemption, Scent of a Woman, Taxi Driver, The Dark Knight, There Will Be Blood, American Psycho, Dead Poets Society, Fight Club, The Social Network, The Devils' Advocate, Blade Runner, The Pursuit of Happyness...
Damn... Alec is one handsome dude back in the day...
As a Gen X’er, this is the version of him that is in my mind when his name comes up
Was
This is why one would hear the oft-repeated phrase "oh, he's such a Baldwin!" (in the movie 'Clueless," maybe?). Yes, in "Clueless" Cher says that Josh is a Baldwin (though I would strongly disagree).
@@pmarreck Same. When I see the bloated, haggardly old man he is today I still picture him as the slick, handsome guy from this scene.
Favorite scene: The great Anne Bancroft playing the boozed-up mother of Kidman and talking to the naive Pullman. He was smart enough, though, to bring a bottle.
Anne Bancroft could steal any scene...
Is this from the rust case?
Where's ED-209?
Pretty similar to The Caine Mutiny court martial scene albeit with arrogance substituted for mental breakdown and rolling of steel balls.
Missing Baldwin's riddle. "Do you know the difference between God and a doctor? God doesn't think he's a doctor."😅
Throwing away your entire medical career just for a few million dollars? Not a smart investment.
lol. If there was an Oscar awarded for a monologue . . .
This monologue is genius
This didn't AGE well!!😂🤣🤠
When Alec’s character leaves the room the director confronts us with the question of who has the better hair.
Men's hair in the 90's was just in its own league.
My head cannon is that he's the same guy from Glengary Glen Ross who quit a career as a surgeon and became a top salesman.
only because i have grammar pet peeves lol:
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/headcanon
I saw that at the movie's in Northampton everyone jumped out of there seats when Bill Pullman went in the basement.
He was. Not because he was a great surgeon, but because when a man is as handsome as that, he commands women like a god.
What is it with Aaron Sorkin's "never sick at sea" line? This has to be the third time he's used it in a script
Quoting "I am the captain of the pinafore" by Gilbert & Sullivan
My doctor acts like this
Alec just being himself for 2 minutes.
He plays himself so well!
Can’t shoot though. Cheers Alec
Alec Baldwin playing himself
I work with lots of minor gods. But they’re all pricks.
Alec Baldwin is God!
Do you mean murderer?
@@eerievibes6854 LOL he was handed a loaded gun by the armorer. The case was thrown out. Not sure how it ever went to trial.
@@pmarreckYou just described a murderer.lol
@@eerievibes6854 You never charge God with murder.
@jaybae5850 So what you're saying is he's satan?
Wait…if this is the sideshow, what the hell is the main event?!
Goosebumps every time I watch this scene
I saw this movie in the theater and never forgot it, and as soon as I was able to, had to upload it here as one of my favorite monologues.
(If you like brilliant monologues, see Glengarry Glen Ross...)
He wasn't acting that's who he is
No, it's not. He's not at all like that. He's also got a great sense of humor.
@@alricthered226 true. Watch his GQ interview where he goes over his film career. It should’ve been titled “Alec praises co-stars and tells stories”
@@Tommyboy6426: I've recently been listening to his podcast, and you can't tell what subject he's going to cover next. And he pretty much is like the person you describe.
@@alricthered226 Yeah, and at the time that GQ interview came out, I was a little disappointed because I wanted to hear more about him. But now, after everybody is calling him a narcissist, when he’s not, I’m grateful for that interview because it shows he is t narcissistic.
Stop it...
So many cool things happening at once in that scene, the best in a pretty good film which plays at camp but never crosses the line. Watching this now, I was so impressed by Josef Sommer playing the hospital lawyer with just a hint of menace until he has to do a hard pivot at the end. When you see the whole film, you realize he was the one being blindsided in that room. His great feat is how he lets you enjoy that.
Who’s the actor playing Alec Baldwins lawyer?
Peter Gallagher- he was good in American beauty
@@jackdotblue ok knew that and......... 😂
Alec a true icon
Say what you will about Baldwin, but he was dropping 5 star dialogues in the 90s.
Now that is great acting. Regarding Alec I hope it was.
I really love the ending.
I'd pray to Alex Baldwin he seems like a real sweet heart.
The person who says I am God and the person who says I am not are both right
When somebody answers a question by giving you his resume’. Spoiler alert. That means he f!cked up. And. He refuses to acknowledge it.
Gust Avrakotos said that in Charlie Wilson’s War. Never sick at see.
I'm god
So you did know the bullets were real ?
Okay i'm not god
This was not acting.
This is the real Alec Baldwin.
The epitome of a narcissistic sociopath.
Which is why he was perfect to play Trump for a while
@@CRtrain Rent free.
Don't be a dumbass. Just don't.
I haven't seen him characterized that way by people who know him.
Hello young Peter Gallagher 👁️🫦👁️
See "Malice---Grammer Lesson"
I watched this years ago before i could drink. Now as an adult, I am a bourbon connseieur and the reference to "shots" of bourbon offends me: one does not do SHOTS of bourbon.
Lots of people have shots of bourbon... Don't church it up.. we're drunks... Not connoisseurs.

“HURRY UP WITH MY DAMM CROISSANTS”
“I wonder how it must feel to wrongfully kill someone..." 🙃
Wonder how it would feel to go to your job as an actor on a make believe movie set and to be given a gun with a live round in it when live ammo isn't even allowed on movie sets and then when you rehearse the scene in which your character fires a weapon the gun that was handed to you and declared empty by two people whose job it was to supervise and maintain the weapons on set wasn't not only not empty or loaded with blanks but with an actual bullet that strikes and killed someone and this is then blamed on you. Even had he checked the gun himself after two others were supposed to have done so and the director yelled cold set meaning empty gun even had he done so why would he have imagined that the gun was holding an actual live round? You do understand that at some point he would be firing the gun with blanks in it while others were firing guns back at him or in his general direction because they were making a Western and it's hard to simulate gun fights without actually simulating a gun fight simply going bang bang with ones finger doesn't get movie goers fired up. All the non sense about never pointing a gun at anyone is true except when you're on a movie set where live ammo isn't allowed because someone would be killed whereas you're simply playing make believe so there would never be any reason to actually have real bullets anywhere on set. He had to point the gun at someone at some point and fire the blanks or you can't make a movie with gun fights. If they want to ban all movies with gun violence then have it but until they do don't scapegoat the actor who never in a million years would imagine that not only was he given a loaded gun but one capable of killing whoever happened to be in the way it could have been him killed if another actor had been given the gun. Five hundred rounds were purchased and eight were actually live ammo there was no way of knowing this until state police took and examined each one individually the manufacturer should be bankrupted and reputation destroyed because there is no more egregious negligent incompetence than to provide real deadly ammo to a movie production who believes they are receiving blank rounds for there western film. It's nearly unbelievable such a mistake could be made eight times as one would think that live and blank rounds would be produced in completely separate facilities and be made in such a way as noone could mistake one for the other but you would be wrong or what I suspect is someone intentionally did so and expected to not be found out or to feign ignorance if and when it was ever traced back to them and declared there responsibility. As far as I know no one has been named as the guilty party so it's possible they were not able to do so but regardless the entire blame has to fall on the manufacturer and then on those who were paid to oversee the stunts and weapons on set who clearly did not do they're job and put Baldwin in that position. Imagine if he had been supposed to detonate a bomb for his role and when he simply pushed a button a massive explosion killed a dozen people would we then prosecute Alec Baldwin because he pushed a button? Or the person who actually made the bomb many times more powerful than it was supposed to be or the manufacturer who included the much stronger explosives when they were paid for something else entirely? A entire chain of incompetence and negligence leads to the guy at the end of the chain being blamed for what everyone before him did or didn't do all because he pulled a trigger for his role in a movie or you know he actually did his job he was hired to do and almost no one else did and he gets blamed for the result.

This scene had 10 white people in it - and I'm sure at the time nobody complained. If they redid this movie in 2023 it would be a mixed bag of races sitting at that table.
I mean... Sure, but... The diversity of companies has also probably improved since this movie came out
Not just mixed races but at least one biological man who identifies as a woman. A she with a penis.
@@pmarreck Altered yes, improved not necessarily.
@@TheForkhandles It wasn't good BECAUSE of the race of everyone there. It was good because of the script. The scene would be as good regardless of the racial composition.
@@TheForkhandles what kind of idiotic comment is that? So much unpleasantness and stupidity crawling out of the woodwork these past few years. If we live in a fair, decent, meritocratic world, then power won't be concentrated in the hands of old white men in suits. So yes, a fairer mix is a better mix. An improvement. Try and be part of the solutions not part of the problems. Plenty of bigots around - you don't want to encourage them or be mistaken for one.
Meh
Nicole Kidman used to be attractive.
She was in her 20s here. Its pretty much peak naturally attractive age. Afterwards you need some artificial help. For some reason most aging actors rarely mention the 'artificial' help they get to still look young.
It was 30 years ago.
@@rebeccahicks2392she was a natural beauty...NOT ATTRACTIVE.😮
This is kind of stupid
It was not a perfect movie. Did he sell this role? Mostly.
I don't understand why George C. Scott said Baldwin had a God complex. I'm joking.
This role was nary a big stray from Alec Baldwin's real personality. If someone dies at his hands, in his mind, it couldn't be his fault. It's the fault of others and his lawyers will prove it.
If that were true, you'd be also going after all th celeb cases of accidents and deaths, on sets, caused by various circumstances, over th decades....
But u don't. U elect, instead, to follow the current trend and attack a guy who previously had a spotless criminal record and an amazing career in film and tv.
@@rimrunz1795 A guy who won't take responsibility for his own actions. It doesn't get any more entitled and cowardly than that.
@@YUHJKT I do not understand the motivation to attack this guy. He's neither the first nor last actor who failed to check the chamber on a movie set gun prior to every shot when *live rounds weren't even supposed to be on the set to begin with*, which was the armorer's direct responsibility.
It's like blaming the driver who just drove their car from a shop where it got worked on, but they failed to reconnect the brakes at the shop so that driver ended up killing someone. Like, *really*?
@@pmarreck You don't think he's a straight up coward liar for not accepting any responsibility for her death? "I did not pull the trigger". He is an executive producer on this movie. The original armorer quit because they were cutting corner's and cheaping out. Baldwin is a coward and a liar and a very small man. No character. Did you see how he broke down and sobbed when the case was dismissed? Do you think he was crying for Halyna Hutchins?
@@YUHJKT You don't go into a court case that can potentially put you in prison for a long time and say "Welll... I was a LITTLE at fault, Your Honor", no matter what you actually believe. JFC, dude
Who ever thought he would have murdered someone
He didn't. Murder implies an intent. It's at most involuntary manslaughter. I know that disappoints you.
John Landis Murdered three people.
I'm a doctor and the premise of this movie never made sense to me. Basically what's happening is that Alec Baldwin's character is faking the "god complex" so that he and his secret girlfriend (nicole kidman) can get a massive insurance settlement. But in order to do this, Baldwin's doctor character will have a difficult time maintaing hospital privileges and is certainly at risk of a medical board action. So we have to assume that Baldwin is just completely fed up with medicine and never wants to work as a doctor again after this con game is played. Like I said, I don't get it. It's not worth it to throw away your career like that.
He's set to get 10 million dollars (assuming they split the 20 mil equally between them), worth it for that?
He’s not faking a God complex.
@@biggerboatfilmquiz7651 No it's not. Career earnings of a "top surgeon" like him would easily be double that number.
@@ThePlaton20 Toward the end of his career?
@@pmarreck top CTV surgeons make around a million or two every year...then add more if they're in the business of medicine, implants and management.
It's interesting - this kind of speech could as easily come from the mouth of Alec Baldwin in real life.
Honestly, people who actually know the guy seem to disagree with this assertion
If God returned to Earth just to tell me that the 2020 election was on the level,I'd pull a Biden on him:"If you believe that,then you ain't God."
It was on the level. 2016 was arguably less so. All of it pushed by Russian propaganda (which is their area of expertise unfortunately). Goal is destabilization of the US. You guys are all "follow the money," now it's time to "follow the sovereign-state chess match"
And the reason I know it was on the level is because Trump's own appointed judges threw his cases out. What more convincing evidence do you need?
@@pmarreck LOL. You STILL believe the "Russian conclusion" nonsense. Wow.
@@toddgaak422 Literally EVERY intelligence agency put out a combined statement about it. Take off your damn tinfoil hat.
Yeah well I think even people that do believe in God will eventually lose faith when prayers go unanswered long enough.
"God complex - Wikipedia" en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_complex
Prayers have gone unanswered for thousands of years.
The problem is that people, even in 2024, do not base beliefs on evidence or reason.
Some, even most if you will But not all people
@@justdave923I didn't say all people but if we are referring to the biblical God remember how Job and later Jesus were left to suffer and if God does that to his most faithful why assume he cares to help anyone? Absolute power corrupts absolutely here in this hell on earth maybe it's a blessing to have a miscarriage or lose your ovaries don't breed anymore victims maybe Kim Basinger wishes she didn't have a child with Alec either.
