There are two shiv-shimmering lines in this scene from the underrated Tom Cruise movie “Cocktail”.

“I can’t see a thing without my contacts” is a fantastic neg, delivered with lighthearted insouciance and complete state control its teasing jab is quite subtle and therefore quite effective. It’s the kind of line you want to learn how to master when a woman gives you shit.

(Ask yourself as part of a self-improvement mental exercise: What would a beta male have done when so directly and acridly challenged by a hot broad?

Woman: “Excuse me, do I have ‘fuck me’ written on my forehead?”

Beta: *stammering* “Uh no, not at all, I was just…”)

But as good as that line is, the next game-savvy line Cruise’s character utters is better.

Woman: “You’re just full of compliments, aren’t you?”

Game-aware man: “Yeah… it kinda makes you curious, don’t it?”

What elevates that cocky riposte from great game to killer game? In a phrase: Script flipping. He has implied she is chasing him, not the other way around as it’s normally presumed to go in the realm of courtship. The man who co-opts a woman’s sexual prerogatives earns her curiosity.

You say a line like that, and you are ASSUMING THE SALE, which is a powerful game technique. It’s overconfidence on steroids. and chicks dig a man who’s full of himself. It’s also, in another sense, a nuanced disqualification of the woman as a potential lover. The subtext assaults her: “He risks my wrath and rejection. This guy can take or leave me. What’s he got going on?”

    Another great line from a great movie, and pretty much sums up where we are at right now.

      Agreed, it’s a great scene.

      Shouldn’t I get a royalty or something when I forward clips that end up in the Chateau…? Anyway, I was also trying to find one from a movie where a guy is at a club with his buddies, and he doesn’t want to hit on a woman, but they convince him that he’s a bear and she’s a bunny. It’s funny, and while it’s not the best of game it reminds me of a motivational speaker I heard once. And while it’s not the best of game, they do give him some self-confidence. I’ll see if I can remember the name of the movie.

      [CH: you’re thinking of ‘swingers’. best american indie flic of the past 20 years.]

  5. itsme says:

    correction: she says ‘confidence’, not ‘compliments’.

    also, notice what he does – instead of making her the drink she asks for, he makes something else, which prompts her shit test.

    • pupton1974 says:

      Was going to say the same thing about “confidence”. Yeah, he doesn’t give a shit what she wants and gives her what he wants her to drink just to prove a point; that he doesn’t give a fuck what she wants and knows better than her.

      It’s like he wanted the shit test so he could pass it and get her juices flowing.

        “and knows better than her.”

        this is good for tingles. women’s taste in most things sucks. while skittles man is always the best choice, if you feel like a night out take her some place you know and she doesn’t and order for her. a sweetheart will never object to you creating a flight and tasting menu for her.

        hb’s love when you choose, make them try things they normally wouldn’t and of course everything is amazing because you know what’s best and instead of looking over the menu and ordering based on your feelings/mood like a girl, you already have a plan that works.

        being able to talk about the characteristics of a wine, spirit (never gay colored coctail make her drink it neat) or dish can lead to all kinds of other sensual discussions like “mouthfeel” leads to tongue leads to…

        also, the nerve endings in the feet link to the brain right next to where the nerve endings from the clit link.

    I inadvertently did some script flipping a couple years ago. This girl, some sort of local celebrity I’d never seen, comes into our store. I proceed to take my tongue off the floor, but full creep mode is initiated anyway. I try to make small talk with her, but she’s with her friend and rudely blows me off. All summer goes by and she comes in with some guy. I ignore her completely until she blurts out “hey, remember me?”. Not giving a fuck after her rudeness I respond with ” yea where you been, didn’t think you loved me anymore”. She enters full giggle mode accompanied with hair flipping etc. right in front of her boy.

    It’s hard to take this aging actor seriously after watching him kick 12 guy’s asses while delivering snarky one-liners n “Jack Reacher”. Thankfully it was pirated and I didn’t have to sit through to the inevitable conclusion. Jack Reacharound would have been more compelling.

    • ho says:

      Those fights were actually realistic. And he beat like 3 guys only, I think.

      • A Random Guy says:

        Be that as it may, in no way when you see Tom Cruise on screen, do you think ‘oh yeah! that IS jack reacher!’

    • Arbiter says:

      Well, we all age. And yes, he has done some things – like joining the Scientologists and let them find a wife for him. And jumping on Oprah’s couch. But the movie stands on its own legs, regardless of what the actor did later.

      No offense, but this reminds me of something Rollo Tomassi wrote on Rational Male just yesterday:

      If there’s three things I’ve learned from writing in the Manosphere for the past 12 years it’s this; no matter how apt, never use an allegory to illustrate a point, never try to relate a fictional story, movie or character to a real world dynamic and never hold up famous celebrities as common reference examples of broader, mundane dynamics.

      The temptation to do so stems from a want for a common point of reference. However, appealing to a highly recognizable exemplar of a dynamic only makes picking apart the known particulars about that individual a priority – not on really grasping the dynamic itself.

      I think it’s not just the manosphere though, but all over the ‘net.

        Of course in the action movies they never show the hero standing in line at the auto parts store in an effort to keep his antique car running.

      • Greg Eliot says:

        That’s because in the movies, the only work they require is occasionally leaning in over the open hood and tightening something down with a crisp-sounding ratchet.

      • BigAl says:

    • Daniel Plainview says:

      True but he does have quite a few top notch performances under his belt. His public antics undermine his acting credentials abit though. I try to separate actors from their politics anyway since most are flaming liberals or at least play the part (npi) in public to curry favor with the Hollywood Sanhedrin.

  9. Just a little anecdote,

    The first time I saw that movie it was with a friend and his wife, but the wife’s English was poor, she did not get much of the dialogue, so a couple weeks later my friend rented the movie again ( it was on VCR/tape back then, you could not switch language at the push of a button ) but the translated in French version.

    And that is when we found out that that line where the woman says: “does it say “fuck me” on my forehead/” had been completely changed

    here is what it said in French,

    “Est-ce qu’il est écrit sur mon front que l’on peut se foutre de moi?”

    which means; does it say on my forehead that you can make fun of me?
    yes “fuck me” had become ; “make fun of me”…..

    Something was seriously lost in translation…

    • Carlos Danger says:

      It was translated by an English speaker most likely or modified in order to make it palatable for the family. I have always thought foutre only meant to fuck however, myself.

  10. Tom Cruise: literally everything in life you can’t teach that women love, except the one universally attractive physical attribute: height.

    • cheesetrader says:

      kinda doubt height’s every been an issue for him

    • Greg Eliot says:

      I’m thinking most any line works, when delivered by Tom Cruise.

      After all, he has them at “Hello”, amirite?

      Skeptical hippo wants to see Rick Moranis get babes to tingle.

      • Lex Corvus says:

        It doesn’t have Rick Moranis in it, but “Manhattan” shows perfectly how a dorky-looking schlub can get tingles aplenty. At one point, Woody Allen’s character mentions that he’s never had any trouble attracting women, and when you see how tight his game is you believe it.

      • Greg Eliot says:

        Please… when you direct and write your own movies and make careers, of course you get laid.

        How many of his women hung around after they established themselves in the business?

      • Greg Eliot says:

        And for the record, Manhattan was one of the most douche-chill inducing examples of Portnoy Porn ever to hit the screen.

        C & M not bad… Radio Days, Midnight in Paris pretty good… my favorite, though, remains Broadway Danny Rose.

        Most of the other stuff over-rated… some decidedly so, surprise, surprise.

      • Greg Eliot says:

        Don Knotts was a reputed lady killer.

        Frances Bavier couldn’t keep her hands off him.

      • Lex Corvus says:

        My comment didn’t concern Woody Allen, it concerned his character. (Reading comprehension—it’s a thing.) Of course the director gets laid, but his character in “Manhattan” has tight game and would believably get laid regardless.

      • Greg Eliot says:

        And my point was, when you write and direct you get to put a schlub like that in your movies and make the ladies go ga-ga over him… and rope in a gullible audience on occasion, like yourself… while most others are laughing and saying WTF?

        DUH!

      • Greg Eliot says:

        You do realize, Allen’s penchant for autobiography in his characters, right?

        And now that he’s gotten so old and grotesque, he farms out the job to a better looking goy like Owen Wilson… but the persona remains.

      • Sentient says:

        Woody Allen 1965… I can see him telling a story like this with ^_^_^ vibrations and doing quite well

      • Greg Eliot says:

        He had a few funny early routines, I’ll certainly admit that. I’ve laughed my share at the Moose story.

        But if memory serves, he wasn’t scoring the big-time poon (or at least sloppy seconds off of Frank) until the writer/director thing really took off.

        [CH: game can net the average man an increase of 1 or 2 SMV points in the quality of his lovers. fame can push the quality of his poon pool into the stratosphere.

        btw, 1 or 2 SMV points in women is nothing to sneeze at. most men would kill for that improvement in mate choice.]

  12. Arbiter says:

    There are a whole lot of memorable things in Cocktail. Like when he talks back to his college professor. He’s thrown out of the class, but damn, who hasn’t wanted to do that.

    Brian (Tom Cruise) and Don Coughlin working in the bar at night, doing tricks with the bottles. Hippy hippy shakes. Situational alpha indeed. That made this the bar movie of all time.

    The “Coughlin’s laws”. In the end, the last one is “Bury the dead or they’ll stink up the place. The rest of Coughlin’s laws are shit, but you probably knew that already.” This when he has committed suicide. What an end. Like a wry smile, beaten down by life but still seeing life as something that you can’t take too seriously. A bitter joke that you must learn to understand and ride with. Or something like that. The Coughlin character was very well made.

    Tom Cruise’s character was also well made. Brian’s dreams, and in the end finding peace doing what he does best. And while he is a player, he knows when to grab the girl and settle down.

    There is one scene where he talks about how he started working in the bar to make money in college, but the nights get longer and longer, he sees less and less daylight, until life is one long string of nights with a bright blur in between. I recognize that so well from times when I was studying late every night. There was one winter I didn’t see the sun for several days. But at some point in your life, you should know what it’s like to live at night. You’ll learn to like both the nights and the days more.

    Then you have a more recent movie … Coyote Ugly. Ugh. Let’s hope there’s never a “remake” of Cocktail, ’cause you know it’d suck and they’d change the characters.

    • Arbiter says:

      Ah, here’s that last letter from Coughlin. Well written.

      My dearest Brian, A guy like me looks in the mirror, he either grins, or he starts to fade away. And I haven’t seen anything to grin about in a long time. This may not be the most graceful exit, but I know when the bottle’s empty. The only thing I’m really going to miss is the conversations we had. At least I get the last word, even if I had to mail it in. Coughlin’s Law: Bury the dead. They stink up the joint. As for the rest of Coughlin’s Laws, ignore them. The guy was always full of shit. (chuckles bitterly) But I guess you knew that already.

      And the other quote I was thinking of:

      Days get shorter and shorter, nights longer and longer, before you know it, your life is just one long night with a few comatose daylight hours.

      There’s another good 80s movie with Tom Cruise, Color of Money. Where he is an excellent pool player but doesn’t know how to get money from that, because he’s too cocky and brags about his talent. He meets an older player (Paul Newman) who teaches him how to take people to the cleaners. He also has a hot girlfriend who is with him because he’s the best at what he does. There is one scene where Paul Newman’s character tells her that “we got a thoroughbred here” or something like that, and she doesn’t object. The psychology in the movie is great, just like in Cocktail. Hard to find any recent movies like that.

      • mendozatorres says:

        Color of Money is great. Has all the Scorcese tropes: great soundtrack, great editing, great tracking shots.

        I love the scene at the beginning when Cruise is playing against Turturro. “One More Night” is playing in the background and given the composition of the scene, you can literally smell the stale smoke and spilled liquor.

        I like it when Fast Eddie Felson hears Cruise tell Turturro he just wants to “play, play.” Newman nails it!

        If memory serves, the name for the hit 90s game, Doom, was as a result of when Cruise references the cue as “doom” when someone asks what he’s got in the case.

    Cocktail is full of good lines. It’s weird though–goes from a career movie, to a bromance movie, to a love story, to a pregnancy movie, to a suicide movie.

    Someone like Tom Cruise does not need game . Game is great and has improved my life 200% but look around.

    Similar body types attract each other. Game may allow you to overachieve but in most cases nature does not lie. Alpha males typically are at least 6’0” in their socks, masculine jaw, broad shoulders, dark hair, firm strong thighs, big enough cock.
    Tall, dark and handsome. Throw in a decent career . It does not matter if you cannot string two sentences together- I’ve seen some stunning women with men who were as fun personality wise as watching paint dry.
    If you are hot to women they will flock around you like flies. They will find ways to fuck you.

    My friend gets that attention – women are embarrassing (to themselves) around him. They turn into stupid children who have just seen Santa Claus. Most men do not see this side of women. Check out old footage of Beatles concerts and see how the women react in the crowd.
    Their reaction was one of the reasons why the Beatles had to stop touring. Check out the audience at American Idol – predominantly women clapping like seals.
    It is fascinating to see how women react around him, 8s and 9s going out of their way to blatantly try and grab him, giving their phone numbers as they ignore and stumble over the likes of you and me despite you being witty an charming and negging for an hour.

    Then you realize you cannot compete and never will. It’s like being at a poker table with thousand dollar hands being thrown down and you have five dollar bills – you finish your drink, make your excuses and politely slip away.
    Even if you had vast wealth or an amazing personality bar one of two cases, you just cannot compete.

    And to be fair, I would not want it any other way. The most beautiful should breed for the good of the race. The uglies should not. Nature is cruel but it needs to be.
    Equality does not exist, never has and never will. That is why we worship the most beautiful people, the models and want to be like them and want to fuck them but will never get selected. We do not deserve to.

        Good point.

        OTOH, if a hot woman with money gets with a male nobody, then the man has game. He’d have to in order for her to suppress her hypergamous instincts.

        Steve McQueen is a good example there.

        (Although, one might argue that she isn’t ignoring her hypergamy at all by getting with the nobody; instead, she recognizes the nobody could very easily be a Big Man with Money but simply has never been in the right place at the right time.)

        Yeah, being really good at making money doesn’t mean you’re any good at attracting women.

        This goes double if you’re relying on Jew Game, i.e., the social connections members of the Tribe rely on to get anywhere.

        Bartenders, by the very nature of their line of work, will have better game than the average man. Hedge fund managers won’t.

        Bullshit. You’re just runnin’ yer suck. Youtube wisdom wont save you on the streets, bitch.

        A pianist….. that says it all really.

      Ha – came across this… Pretty great example of a guy using a strong frame..

      Enjoy.

      • Greg Eliot says:

        Maybe I’m wrong, but I always get the strongest suspicion these videos have been orchestrated… or at least edited to eliminate the blokes who merely shoved him out of the way.

    Some guys don’t have to do much to get tingles:

  18. Has anyone noticed that that bitch wasn’t even close to physically attractive? Old, too much makeup, poodle hair, average at best face… that’s how I know it’s Hollywood, when a guy with Tom Cruise’s SMV goes for a bitch that looks that average.

    • blart says:

      “that’s how I know it’s Hollywood, when a guy with Tom Cruise’s SMV goes for a bitch that looks that average”

      same thing with fifty shades of grey. they cast a frumpy dumpy chick and a hot guy so the average woman can live vicariously through the character and fantasize that the same thing will happen to them. used to be women would know it was just a fairy tale. now, for some reason, they all seem to think it’s a possibility for them and they are entitled to it. no matter how wretched and disgusting they are.

    • Greg Eliot says:

      This is how the likes of Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock become “stars”… average women can identify.

      Of course, it helps Sanda that she produces her own movies.

    • insidious says:

      Jeesus. Finally. Had to scroll down almost to the bottom of the comments to see I wasn’t crazy. She’s an average looking cougar. The only game he needed was pity.

      • Sentient says:

        Naahhh… the scene is – it’s a bet with his bros – they picked out this woman precisely because she is a hard experienced bitch, used to easy come ons… That’s the challenge, and her shit tests shows it.

        Interesting because TC has had a few of these kind of challenges in his roles – the scene from Top Gun comes to mind – “carnal knowledge on the premises”… LOL.

        as to the hair and look – meh – this was 1988. It was what it was back then. Crazy loud colors, horrible fashion, loud make up and big hair…

      • Sentient says:

        The bet is $20…

        Sorry about Goose.

        Also a good line for when you’re working your way through a crowded room.

      Yes, I noticed it, too. Older women are easier.

    Not sure why I thought of this scene, but lol.

    You can’t resist us, Mr. Powers.

    Au contraire, baby. I think it’s you that can’t resist me.

  21. Just Saying says:

    “Excuse me, do I have ‘fuck me’ written on my forehead?”

    Why else do you think I’m talking to you? (Delivered with a tone of absolute surprise.)

    or

    Oh, shit you’re on the rag? I’m outta here. (I usually put my hands up and back up slowly, while grinning.)

    I’ve always figured you have nothing to lose, so why not. I’ve ended up bedding women that came with the b*tch as a consolation prize. Remember other women are watching how you react… So use it to your advantage.

    Think of how comedians react to a heckler – you can use it… You just have to know how.

    • Anonymous says:

      i’ve been thinking about asking how this would work: err, it’s not exactly on your forehead…

      • Sentient says:

        It doesn’t work because first it is a response in her frame, she is assuming you would fuck her, and second it’s a boring response apt to be perceived as butt hurt. Loosen up, have some fun. Neg (lightly) tease… and as CH says ASSUME THE SALE.

    • theasdgamer says:

      “Excuse me, do I have ‘fuck me’ written on my forehead?”

      “No, it’s on your lips.”

    That is an excellent example of how to pick up a nasty scag.

    • Greg Eliot says:

      That’s why movies are so amusing… can you picture this particular gal, when confronted by a Tom Cruise who will actually flirt with her, saying anything but giggly-goo-goos?

  23. walawala says:

    My go-to negs are:

    Me: “You dance well…”

    Her: Aww…thanks, you too

    Me: I”m not finished my sentence yet… you dance well…with me.

    Sometimes I’ll change it to “For a lawyer” or whatever her profession is.

    You can also change that to “You kiss well….” or “You dress well…..” for a librarian”

    The other is if I get a “You’re a player” type jibe:

    Me: “I knew you were trouble”….Krauser’s great reply: “My mom warned me about girls like you”..

    That always reframes the interaction, causes a sexual spike and quells the shit-test.

    One of the girls I’m banging got hit on by a lesbian….she’s always teasing and shit-testing me. She wrote: “you have a rival”

    Me: yum

    This stuff is pure gold. She never knows what I’m going to say.

    • Tilikum says:

      One of my top 4…

      Til: “Hey, how can you tell if a woman has an orgasm?”
      Her: “Ummm” (or how, or because she’s smiling….)
      Til: “Who cares?”

      Its shameful how well this works.

    • theasdgamer says:

      She: “Nice leading.”

      Me: [smile]

      I get asked to dance by the best follows a lot, some of whom are top competitors.

      She: “You teach well. A lot better than the last guy.”

      Me: [smile]

      It’s delightful how well dancing works to build attraction.

    yea flipping script where they just thinking about your cock 24 hours a day
    then shes talking bout getting your dick in her
    and flip it again and talk about your not even thinking bout the pussy just her being there and holding her and shit
    then she talks about dreaming about your cock and you talk about sunshine and beaches rofl

    Reminds me of what I do at a bar when hitting it off with a new girl. If I’m getting us drinks I always ask what she wants, but no matter what she says I instead say “nah, we’re getting whiskey”, even though most girls have a distinct distaste for whiskey.

    It’s subtle, and I probably started doing it naturally because I can be a bit of a dick, but damn it if doesn’t get some tingles going. It’s also basically a shit test of my own, and it can be an extremely easy filter for getting rid of a time wasting pain in the ass.

    • Greg Eliot says:

      My go to line when they make the grimace is a conspiratorial and knowing look as I tell them:

      “Yes, well… it is an acquired taste.”

      That keeps ’em a-sippin’. 😉

    “wouldn’t be any fun if they just fell over with their legs in the air, now would it.”

    This is the money line from the clip. Strong frame = strong game, whether intentional (I am doing x to get y reaction = game) or not (I get y reaction because I have done x = frame).

    Life is a game, always enjoy it and always keep playing.
