What: Movie Lines

What To Do:

In the scene, Bickle is looking into a mirror at himself, imagining a confrontation which would give him a chance to draw his gun. He says the following line:

“

"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?"

”

Many people mistakenly believe that the scene was completely ad-libbed by De Niro. The script originally only had the following words in parenthesis: "(Travis looks into the mirror)."

However, De Niro did not create either the famous quoted words "You talkin' to me?" or the idea of using them while talking to himself in the mirror but took them directly from Episode 039 of The Twilight Zone titled "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room" ^[1] originally broadcast on October 14, 1960, over 15 years before "Taxi Driver."
