Quotes of A History of Violence
Edie Stall: My husband does not know you. He wouldn't know you, somebody like you.Carl Fogaty: Oh, he knows Carl Fogarty all right. He knows me intimately. See? [points to his clouded left eye] This isn't a completely dead eye, it still works a bit. The problem is, the only thing I can see with it is Joey Cusack, and it can see right through him... right through your husband, Edie. I see what's inside him, what makes him tick. He's still the same guy. He's still crazy fucking Joey! And you know it, don't you? How much do you really know about your husband, Edie? Where he's from, where he's been, his life before he met you some 20 years ago?
Edie Stall: I know that my husband is Tom Stall. That's what I know.
Carl Fogaty: Yeah? Well, why don't you ask "Tom" about his older brother Ritchie in Philadelphia? Ask "Tom" how he once tried to rip my eye out with barbed wire. And ask him, Edie... ask him how come he's so good at killing people.
Edie Stall: What is it?
Tom Stall: I remember the moment I knew you were in love with me. I saw it in your eyes. I can still see it.
Edie Stall: 'Course you can, I still love you.
Tom Stall: I'm the luckiest son-of-a-bitch alive.

Trivia of A History of Violence
- The fictitious town that the film is set in (Millbrook, Indiana) is named after the town where the film was actually shot (Millbrook, Ontario, Canada). The scenes set in Philadelphia were actually shot in Toronto, Canada.- For the sex scene on the stairs, 'David Cronenberg' (qv) was concerned about the two actors getting hurt on the hard wooden steps. He asked his stunt man whether or not he had any stunt pads to soften up the stairs. The stunt man laughed, saying that in the twenty years he had been working as a stunt man, no director had ever asked him for stunt pads for a sex scene. Pads were not used for most of the scene however, and in the shot when Edie is naked on the bed with bruises visible on her back, make-up was used to hide the amount of bruises that 'Maria Bello (I)' (qv) received from the scene.
- SPOILER: The scene in the restaurant where Tom foils the robbery was cut to some extent. The original cut had the younger shooter being shot over seven times and having the older shooter being shot in the head twice. It was cut, not because of the MPAA, but because of 'David Cronenberg' (qv) himself. Cronenberg thought the scene was way too much and thought it Full Trivia >>
