quote:
You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition has given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling? And that accent you've tried so desparately to shed? Pure West Virginia. What's your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamb? You know how quickly the boys found you... all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars...while you could only dream of getting out... getting anywhere... getting all the way to the FBI.

Taxi Driver:

quote:
Sh*t... I'm waiting for the sun to shine.

Thank God for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk.

The idea had been growing in my brain for some time: TRUE force. All the king's men cannot put it back together again.

The Two Towers:
quote:
What can men do against such reckless hate?
Lambs:
quote:
Poor little Catherine is waiting.

Is it true what they're sayin'? He's some kinda vampire?
They don't have a name for what it is.

from imdb:
Hannibal Lecter : Tell me, Senator: did you nurse Catherine yourself?
Senator Ruth Martin : What?
Hannibal Lecter : Did you breast-feed her?
Sen. Martin's Aide : Now wait a minute...
Senator Ruth Martin : Yes, I did.
Hannibal Lecter : Toughened your nipples, didn't it?
Sen. Martin's Aide : You son of a bitch!
Hannibal Lecter : Amputate a man's leg and he can still feel it tickling. Tell me, mum, when your little girl is on the slab, where will it tickle you?
Senator Ruth Martin : Take this... *thing* back to Baltimore!
Hannibal Lecter : Five foot ten, strongly built, about a hundred and eighty pounds; hair blonde, eyes pale blue. He'd be about thirty-five now. He said he lived in Philadelphia, but he may have lied. That's all I can remember, mum, but if I think of any more, I will let you know. Oh, and Senator, just one more thing..... Love your suit.

Bad Santa: (warning? I have censored, though)
quote:

Kid : Your beard's not real.
Willie : It was real, but I got sick and all the hair fell out.
Kid : How come?
Willie : I loved a woman who wasn't clean.
Kid : Mrs. Claus?
Willie : Actually it was her sister.

Kid : Good night, Santa. Good night, Mrs. Santa's sister.

Kid : Santa!
Willie : Yeah?
Kid : You're bringing my present early?
Willie : No.
Kid : But I never told you what I wanted.
Willie : I said I didn't bring it, dip****.

David Drumlin : I know you must think this is all very unfair. Maybe that's an understatement. What you don't know is I agree. I wish the world was a place where fair was the bottom line, where the kind of idealism you showed at the hearing was rewarded, not taken advantage of. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world.
Ellie Arroway : Funny, I've always believed that the world is what we make of it.

Me too... "As long as you have two hands don't complain about bad luck", or something like that, from Dune...

quote:
Ellie Arroway : Science fiction. You're right, it's crazy. In fact, it's even worse than that, it's nuts. You wanna hear something really nutty? I heard of a couple guys who wanna build something called an airplane, you know you get people to go in, and fly around like birds, it's ridiculous, right? And what about breaking the sound barrier, or rockets to the moon? Atomic energy, or a mission to Mars? Science fiction, right? Look, all I'm asking is for you to just have the tiniest bit of vision. You know, to just sit back for one minute and look at the big picture. To take a chance on something that just might end up being the most profoundly impactful moment for humanity, for the history... of history.

quote:
Ellie Arroway : So what's more likely? That an all-powerful, mysterious God created the Universe, and decided not to give any proof of his existence? Or, that He simply doesn't exist at all, and that we created Him, so that we wouldn't have to feel so small and alone?
quote:
Young Ellie : Dad, do you think there's people on other planets?
Ted Arroway : I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space.

All from Contact... My favorite film ever...

"PO-TA-TOES."

"Roast chicken?"

"What we do in life echoes in eternity."

And pretty much all of The Usual Suspects. Examples follow:

quote:
Keaton : His name is Verbal. Verbal Kint.
McManus : Verbal?
Keaton : Yeah.
Verbal : Roger, really. People say I talk too much.
Hockney : Yeah, I was just about to tell you to shut up.

quote:
Fenster : You do some time, they never let you go. You know. They treat you like a criminal. *I'm* not a criminal.
Hockney : You *are* a criminal.
Fenster : Now why'd you got to go and do that? (I'm) trying to make a point.

quote:
Cop: I can put you in Queens on the night of the hijacking.
Hockney : Really? I live in Queens, did you put that together yourself, Einstein? Got a team of monkeys working around the clock on this?

And so many more... I love that movie.

I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't wanna know. Some things are best left unsaid. I like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man at Shawshank felt free.

Sam : I still feel at home in my house.

Andrew Largeman : You'll see when you move out it just sort of happens one day one day and it's just gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I mean it's like this right of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for you kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place.

Sam : You're in it right now, aren't you?

Andrew Largeman : What?

Sam : My mom always says that, when she can see i'm like working something out in my head, she's like, 'you're in it right now' and I'm looking at you're telling this story, and you're definitely in it.

Oh, and one more quote, from a video game this time, but hey, might as well post it.

quote:
Kadeshi Ambassador:
This is the Garden of Kadesh. For thirteen generations we have protected it from the unclean. The Turanic Raiders who came before you refused to join and were punished for this trespass. Like theirs, your ship has already defiled this holy place. If you have come to join, we welcome you and will spare your ship until all have disembarked. If you have come to consume the garden, you will be removed at once. What are your intentions?

Kushan Ambassador:
We were unaware of the significance of this location. We mean you no conflict. Please allow us time to prepare our engines so we may withdraw as requested.

Kadeshi Ambassador:
If you will not join, then die. There is no withdrawal from the Garden.

This routine actually saved me from being beaten to a pulp in High School:

Lou Costello: You want to fight?
Sarge: What?
C: You heard me, You want to fight.
S: Yeah. Yeah, I want to fight.
C: Ok, be outside in five minutes,
S: I'll be there.
C: And you better come alone.
S: I'll be alone.
C: YOu better come alone.
S; Oh, I'll be alone alright.
C: You'll be alone?
S: Yeah! I'll be alone!
C: You bet you'll be alone, bacause I'm not going to be there.
Costello turns and leaves. Sarge looks confused. Audience laughs.

You're In The Army Now

I played Costello, as the idiot wanting to pick on me after lunch fed me the Sarge's lines without realizing it. As I left the cafeteria laughter and applause kept the idiot from chasing me down and beating me to a pulp.

First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time... For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined my street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird... And Janie... And Janie... And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday.

ARTHUR: Old woman!
DENNIS: Man!
ARTHUR: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
DENNIS: I'm thirty seven.
ARTHUR: What?
DENNIS: I'm thirty seven -- I'm not old!
ARTHUR: Well, I can't just call you `Man'.
DENNIS: Well, you could say `Dennis'.
ARTHUR: Well, I didn't know you were called `Dennis.'
DENNIS: Well, you didn't bother to find out, did you?
ARTHUR: I did say sorry about the `old woman,' but from the
behind you looked--
DENNIS: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an
inferior!
ARTHUR: Well, I AM king...
DENNIS: Oh king, eh, very nice. An' how'd you get that, eh? By
exploitin' the workers -- by 'angin' on to outdated imperialist
dogma which perpetuates the economic an' social differences in our
society! If there's ever going to be any progress--
WOMAN: Dennis, there's some lovely filth down here. Oh -- how
d'you do?
ARTHUR: How do you do, good lady. I am Arthur, King of the
Britons. Who's castle is that?
WOMAN: King of the who?
ARTHUR: The Britons.
WOMAN: Who are the Britons?
ARTHUR: Well, we all are. we're all Britons and I am your king.
WOMAN: I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an
autonomous collective.
DENNIS: You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship.
A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--
WOMAN: Oh there you go, bringing class into it again.
DENNIS: That's what it's all about if only people would--
ARTHUR: Please, please good people. I am in haste. Who lives
in that castle?
WOMAN: No one live there.
ARTHUR: Then who is your lord?
WOMAN: We don't have a lord.
ARTHUR: What?
DENNIS: I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We
take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the
week.
ARTHUR: Yes.
DENNIS: But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified
at a special biweekly meeting.
ARTHUR: Yes, I see.
DENNIS: By a simple majority in the case of purely internal
affairs,--
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: --but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more--
ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!
WOMAN: Order, eh -- who does he think he is?
ARTHUR: I am your king!
WOMAN: Well, I didn't vote for you.
ARTHUR: You don't vote for kings.
WOMAN: Well, 'ow did you become king then?
ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake, [angels sing] her arm clad in the
purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of
the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to
carry Excalibur. [singing stops] That is why I am your king!
DENNIS: Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing
swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive
power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some
farcical aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power
just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: I mean, if I went around sayin' I was an empereror just
because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd
put me away!
ARTHUR: Shut up! Will you shut up!
DENNIS: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system!
HELP! HELP! I'm being repressed!
ARTHUR: Bloody peasant!
DENNIS: Oh, what a give away. Did you here that, did you here

Because, after 25 years of building a home and raising a family and all the senseless pain that we have inflicted on each other, I'm damned if I'm going to stand here and have you tell me you're in love with somebody else. Because this isn't a convention weekend with your secretary, is it? Or - or some broad that you picked up after three belts of booze. This is your great winter romance, isn't it? Your last roar of passion before you settle into your emeritus years. Is that what's left for me? Is that my share? She gets the winter passion, and I get the dotage? What am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to sit at home knitting and purling while you slink back like some penitent drunk? I'm your wife, damn it.

The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad."

Now nearly all those I loved and did not understand when I was young are dead, but I still reach
out to them.

Of course, now I am too old to be much of a fisherman, and some friends think I shouldn't. Like
many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often
do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all
existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River
and a four-count rhythm and the hope that fish will rise.

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's
great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless
raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.

I am haunted by waters.

quote:
In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing. We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western Montana, and our father was a Presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others. He told us about Christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were to assume, as my brother and I did, that all first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman.

babager: [Big Grin] I have that as a sig on one forum.

quote:
I cursed thirty-seven times last
week... I said the f-word a couple
times, but mostly "sh!#s" and
"bastards."
(beat)
Is "Douche bag" a curse?

I suppose it's in its usage.

How about "John you're a douche bag
for kissing Barbara?"

That's a curse.

Then it's not thirty-seven. It's
seventy-one.

quote:
I was at this party once. I'm on a
couch with Sara Mckinney. She was
just sitting there, looking
beautiful and staring at me. I go
to lean in and kiss her and I
realize I have gum in my mouth. I
turn and take out the gum. Stuff
it in my paper cup next to the sofa
and turn around. Sara Mckinney
throws up all over herself.
I knew the second it happened. It
was a miracle. I could have been
kissing her when she threw up.
That would have scarred me for
life. I may never have recovered.
I'm a miracle man. Those lights
are a miracle.

The rumba is the vertical expression of a horizontal wish. You have to hold her, like the skin on her thigh is your reason for living. Let her go, like your heart's being ripped from your chest. Throw her back, like you're going to have your way with her right here on the dance floor. And then finish, like she's ruined you for life.

I see the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

Conner: Well, the rule of thumb around here is...
Big Fat Sweathog: Wait, the rule of thumb? Back in the early 1800s it was legal for a man to beat his wife as long as he used a stick no wider than his thumb.
Conner: Can't do much damage with that now can you? Seems to me it should have been the rule of wrist.

I came up with a male version. I was working in a bar and a waitress had a drink spilled in her lap. When she came back to the kitchen I asked "Did you spill a drink or are you just glad to see me?" She was not amused. . .
