Title explains it, really.

quote:
Lucille [looking at dead butterflies] They're dying. They take the heat from the sun, and when it deserts them, they die.

Edith: How sad.

Lucille: No, it's not sad, Edith. It's nature. It's a world of everything dying and eating each other right beneath our feet.

Edith: Surely there's more to it than that.

Lucille: [looking at Edith] Beautiful things are fragile... At home we have only black moths. Formidable creatures, to be sure, but they lack beauty. They thrive on the dark and cold.

Edith: What do they feed on?

Lucille: Butterflies, I'm afraid.

If you know the movie the quote is from, post the title AND a new quote from another movie for the next person to guess. [Smile]

I don't know what the quote is from. But it reminded me of this thread:

The Movie Quote Game

Posted by JanitorBlade (Member # 12343) on :

Lots of fond memories of that game.

A dark and gritty I Love Lucy and All in the Family crossover?

Posted by PanaceaSanans (Member # 13395) on :

Peter, thanks.

Hello Foust. [Smile]

I know neither of those, so I cannot really answer your question (sorry).
But my quote is from a movie, not a series/ show/ sitcom.

I'll add another one from that same movie:

quote:
I cannot leave you here. In fact, I find myself thinking about you even at the most inopportune moments of the day. I feel as if a link exists between your heart and mine, and should that link be broken, either by distance or by time, then my heart would cease to beat and I would die.

This reminded me of the threads devoted to figuring out which movie this line belongs to: "Do? It doesn't DO anything. That's the beauty of it."

Posted by PanaceaSanans (Member # 13395) on :

Oh, but this movie most definitely exists...

Another quote, from the movie trailer:

quote:
A house as old as this one becomes, in time, a living thing. It starts holding on to things... keeping them alive when they shouldn't be.
Some of them are good, some of them bad... Some should never be spoken about again.

The Amityville Horror?

Posted by PanaceaSanans (Member # 13395) on :

No. Also, it's not really horror. It's "A Gothic Romance".

The Blue Castle?

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

(Instead of blue, try red.)

Posted by PanaceaSanans (Member # 13395) on :

Very close, Tom. I take it you know the answer, then?

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

Yeah. [Smile]

I'm actually surprised that no one has even tried to Google it.

Posted by SenojRetep (Member # 8614) on :

Oh, I Googled it right away, once I was pretty sure I hadn't seen it. Sure enough, I haven't seen it.

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

I googled it too, but it'd be cheating to guess. I have standards.

Posted by PanaceaSanans (Member # 13395) on :

All of you are awesome. [Group Hug]

I chose the wrong movie, it seems.

Crimson Peak
