Geez, Captain Jack Sparrow is just owning this list. Another favorite. (Talking to Elizabeth) “If you would be so kind” (She puts his hat on him) “Now if you would very kind” (She puts his belt on him) Careful with the goods, love" Or something to that effect. ---

Ahem. The Merovigan’s[sic] stream of curses followed by, “Its’ like wiping your ass with silk.” Also from the Matrix Reloaded from the Merovigan: “Okay, you have some skill.” ---

Pirates of the Caribben - “You forgot one thing… I’m captain Jack Sparrow.” makes me wanna see it again just to hear that line. (doesn’t look at all cool just in writing like that, but it is it is it is!) ---

I saw _Seabiscuit_ over the weekend. Good. Had my 8 yr old niece with me. She liked it, too. Some memorable lines: When walking into War Admiral’s track mates stables and seeing how posh they were, Red says, “Jesus! I wanna be a horse!” The jockey friend guy to the owner about whether to let Red race again, “Sometimes, it’s better to break a man’s leg, than to break his heart.” ---
