3. “You talking to me?” – Taxi Driver, 1976
In this scene Robert De Niro’s Travis Bickle imagines an altercation that would give him an excuse to draw his gun, delivered with trademark panache.
Fun fact: De Niro improvised this line. The script only said “Travis speaks to himself in the mirror” so De Niro took some liberties and was ultimately successful.
4. “I’m walking here! I’m walking here!” – Midnight Cowboy, 1969
Dustin Hoffman’s Ratso says this when telling of a cab driver.
Fun fact: This scene was improvised. Midnight Cowboy filmed in New York City so the taxi in the shot is an actual New York taxi. Remaining in character Hoffman yells at the driver and the scene made the cut in the film.
