This one might be classified as “famous”, but it’s worth quoting again, because it’s hauntingly beautiful. > After you’ve been working out in the desert fifteen years like I have… Ya hear a lot of things. See a lot of things too. Sun in the sky. The heat. All that sand out there, with the rivers, the lakes that aren’t real at all. And sometimes you think that the wind gets in the wires, and hums, and listens and talks. ---

I happened to hear this line recently. If anyone knows the answer for certain, could you please spoiler it. I’m curious if anyone who hasn’t seen this movie can identify the speaker just from the style of the quote. “There is a God! Incredible! Moses was right. He that abideth in truth and will have frankincense and myrrh smeared on his gums in abundance and he shall dwell in the house of the Lord for six months with an option to buy. But the wicked man - the wicked man shall have all kinds of problems. His tongue shall cleave to the roof of his upper palate and he shall speak like a woman, if you watch him closely. And he shall - he shall - the wicked man shall be delivered into the hands of his enemy whether they can pay the delivery charge or not. And - and - wait, I have more about the wicked man. I shall walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death. In fact, now that I think of it, I shall run through the Valley of the Shadow of Death 'cause you get out of the valley quicker that way. And he that hath clean hands and a pure heart is okay in my book. But he that fools around with barnyard animals has gotta be watched.” ---

Woody Allen, but I don’t remember the fillm. _Sleeper_, maybe? ---

Yes. It’s from _Love and Death_, which Allen made between _Sleeper_ and _Annie Hall_. ---

First Guy: Yeah, I reckon this’ll cut through pretty well anything that exists. I did steel armor plate with it six inches thick, just like that! Oh, it was legal. Bloke shut in a strong room, I got him out. Secret job, like this one. Second Guy: Then I’m glad you don’t talk about it. ---
