Quotes 

  • Ken : To be honest, when I found out the patriarchy wasn't just about horses, I lost interest.

  • Ken : I thought I might stay over tonight.

    Barbie : Why?

    Ken : Because we're girfriend and boyfriend.

    Barbie : To do what?

    [pause] 

    Ken : I'm actually not sure.

  • Ken : Is it just me or did these mojo dojo casa houses just get a whole lot dreamier?

    Barbie : That's because they're Dreamhouses, motherf-

    [last syllable is bleeped out and mouth is covered by the Mattel logo] 

  • Ken : Does the label "long-term long-distance low-commitment casual girlfriend" mean nothing to her?

  • Ken : I'm just Ken and I'm enough / And I'm great at doing stuff.

  • [as Barbie leaves Barbie Land, she finds Ken in her car] 

    Barbie : What are you doing here?

    Ken : I'm coming with you!

    Barbie : Did you bring your rollerblades?

    Ken : [holds up his blades]  I literally go nowhere without them!

  • Barbie : I do not have a vagina and he does not have a penis. We have no genitals.

    Ken : I have *all* the genitals!

  • Ken : I'll play the guitar at you.

  • Ken : Yeah, because actually, my job... it's just beach.

    Barbie : And what a great job you do at beach!

  • Doctor : No, I won't let you do just one appendectomy.

    Ken : But I'm a man.

    Doctor : But not a doctor.

    Ken : Can I talk to a doctor?

    Doctor : You are talking to a doctor.

    Ken : I need a clicky pen.

    Doctor : No.

    Ken : A sharpy thing?

    Doctor : No.

    Ken : [as he walks toward a male doctor]  There he is.

    Doctor : Somebody get security.

  • Ken : [Puts on a pair of sunglasses]  Every night is boy's night.

    [Puts on a second pair of sunglasses] 

  • Ken : I just don't know who I am without you.

    Barbie : You're Ken.

    Ken : But it's Barbie and Ken. There's no just Ken. That's why I was created. I only exist within the warmth of your gaze. Without it, I'm just a little blond guy who can't do flips.

  • Ken : You guys aren't doing patriarchy very well.

    Corporate Man : We're actually doing patriarchy very well

    [lowers voice] 

    Corporate Man : ... we're just better at hiding it.

  • Ken : [singing]  I'm just Ken, anywhere else I'd be a ten! Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility?

  • Ken : Hi, Barbie!

    Barbie : Hi, Ken!

    Barbie : Hi, Barbie!

    Barbie : Hi, Barbie!

    Barbie : Hi, Barbie!

    Barbie : Hi, Barbie!

    Barbie : Hi, Barbie!

    Ken : Hi, Barbie!

    Barbie : Hi, Ken!

    Ken : Hi, Ken.

  • Ken : Do you want to be my bride wife, or my long term long distance low commitment casual girlfriend?

  • Ken : [walks out of shot]  ... Sublime!

  • Ken : What if there's beach? You'll need a professional in that.

  • Ken : I'll see you on the Malibu Beach!

  • Ken : [Through tears, on his knees, looking at his hands]  Ken... is... me?

    [Looks up at Barbie who nods encouragingly] 

    Ken : Ken... is me.

    [Stands boldy, shouting defiantly] 

    Ken : Ken is me!

  • Ken : And the Nobel Prize for horses goes to Ken!

  • Ken : What should we do about the Barbies?

    Ken : We could beach them off?

  • Ken : [singing]  What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan?

  • Ken : I'll take a high-level, high-paying job with influence, please.

    Corporate Man : Okay, you'll need at least an MBA. And a lot of our people have PhDs.

    Ken : Isn't being a man enough?

    Corporate Man : Actually, right now, it's kind of the opposite.

  • Ken : I'm a liberated man. I know crying is not weak.

  • Ken : At first I thought the Real World was run by men. And then there was a minute where I thought it was run by horses. But then I realized that horses are just men extenders.

  • Barbie : What is wrong with them?

    Ken : We just explained to them the immaculate, impeccable seamless garment of logic that is patriarchy, and they crumbled.

    Gloria : Oh, my God. This is like in the 1500s with the indigenous people and smallpox. They had no defenses against it.

  • Ken : But what will we fight with? We have no guns.

    Ken : Tennis rackets and volleyballs.

    Ken : And slap fights.

    Ken : And beach offs.

  • Barbie : No, Ken. This is my Dreamhouse. It is my Dreamhouse! It's mine!

    Ken : No, this is no longer Barbie's Dreamhouse. This shall henceforth be known as Ken's Mojo Dojo Casa House.

    Sasha : You don't have to say dojo and house.

    Gloria : And casa...

    Ken : But you do because it feels good. Try it.

  • Ken : Buckle up, babe. Because Barbie Land is now Ken Land. And it's gonna be just like Century City in Los Angeles, because they had it all figured out in Century City. The minute you get out of your car, you're like, 'I can't believe how great this place is!'

    Barbie : No, no, no. They don't have it figured out in Century City because we failed them.

    Ken : No! You failed me!

  • Ken : Out there, I was somebody. And when I walked down the street... people respected me just for who I am. One lady, she even asked me for the time.

    Ken : No way!

    Ken : Way. And if it weren't for these technicalities like MBAs, medical degrees, and I don't know, swim lessons, I could have ruled that world. But I don't need any of those things here. Here, I'm just a dude. And you know what? That's enough.

  • Barbie : Wow. And now you're making it permanent with a special election to change the Constitution.

    Ken : That's right. In just 48 hours, all the Kens will head to the polls and vote to change the Constitution to a government for the Kens, of the Kens, and by the Kens!

    Barbie : You can't do this. This is Barbie Land. The Barbies worked hard and they dreamed hard to make it everything that it is. You... You can't just undo it in a day.

    Ken : Literally and figuratively, watch me. Now, if you'll excuse me... this is my Mojo Dojo Casa House, it's not Barbie's Mojo Dojo Casa House. Right?

  • Ken : Barbie! Take your lady fashions with you. Take your Celebrate Disco Bell Bottoms...

    Barbie : Oh!

    Ken : And your Ice Capades Pretty Practice Suit and Dazzling Show Skirt.

    Gloria : These are archival.

    Ken : Your Pajama Jam in Amsterdam sets.

    Barbie : No!

    Ken : And your Pretty Paisley Palazzo Pants!

    Barbie : Not the Palazzos!

    Ken : And get out!

  • Ken : Shredding waves is much more dangerous than people realize.

  • Ken : Can I come to your house tonight?

    Barbie : Sure. I don't have anything big planned. Just a giant blowout party with all the Barbies and planned choreography and a bespoke song. You should stop by.

  • Ken : Why didn't Barbie tell me about patriarchy, which, to my understanding, is where men and horses run everything?

  • Ken : What do we do?

    Ken : We beach every individual one of them off.

    Ken : No. We go to war.

    Ken : Against the Barbies?

    Ken : No, against the Kens.

    Ken : But we are the Kens.

    Ken : The other Kens.

    Ken : Well, we should probably call them something else so it doesn't get confusing.

    Ken : No, because we'll know what we mean.

    Ken : But when we're on the battlefield and you say 'Ken at four o'clock,' how will I know if you mean us Kens or the other Kens?

    Ken : Because, my dudes, we attack at ten o'clock and take advantage of the morning waves.

    Ken : But not so early 'cause we're gonna want to sleep in.

  • Barbie : Okay. Ken, you have to figure out who you are without me.

    Ken : Why?

    Barbie : You're not your girlfriend. You're not your house, you're not your mink.

    Ken : Beach?

    Barbie : Nope. You're not even beach. Maybe all the things that you thought made you you aren't... really you. Maybe it's Barbie and... it's Ken.

  • Doctor : No, I won't let you do just one appendectomy.

    Ken : But I'm a man.

    Doctor : But not a doctor.

    Ken : Please?

    Doctor : No.

    Ken : Can I talk to a doctor?

    Doctor : You are talking to a doctor.

    Ken : Can you get me a coffee?

    Doctor : No.

    Ken : And I need a clicky pen.

    Doctor : No.

    Doctor : No.

    Ken : And a sharp thing.

    Doctor : No.

    Ken : There he is. Doctor!

    Doctor : Somebody get Security.

  • Ken : If I wasn't severely injured, I would beach you off right now, Ken.

  • Ken : All right, Ken, you're on. Let's beach off.

  • Ken : But you don't even know how to beach yourself off. How you gonna beach both of us off?

  • Ken : Every night is girls' night.

  • Ken : Well, you bet both those things incorrectly, and I bet in the opposite direction.

  • Ken : I hate it when people think. I get so bored.

  • Ken : I need to find somewhere where I can start patriarchy fresh.

  • Ken : What do I do? Do I follow Barbie into that scary unmarked black truck car? A truck car I'd like to have, actually.

  • Barbie : Ken? What have you done? What are you wearing?

    Ken : Don't question it. Just roll with it, tiny baby.

    Barbie : Don't call me baby.

    Ken : What about mini-baby? Like this mini-fridge.

  • Ken : Look, I'm just having some brewski beers at my Mojo Dojo Casa House.

  • Ken : I'm so blotto-faced day-drunk right now.

    Ken : Ditto same-same that.
