Maybe I’ve missed it, but has no one posted the treasure trove of movie lines from **O’ Brother Where Art Thou?** Tommy Johnson: “I had to be up at that there crossroads last midnight, to sell my soul to the devil.” Ulysses Everett McGill: “Well, ain’t it a small world, spiritually speaking. Pete and Delmar just been baptized and saved. I guess I’m the only one that remains unaffiliated.” Pete: “What’s the devil look like?” Ulysses Everett McGill: “Well, Pete, there are all manner of lesser imps and demons, but the great Satan hisself is red and scaly with a bifurcated tail, and he carries a hay fork.” Tommy Johnson:“Oh no, sir. He’s white, as white as you folks, with empty eyes and a big hollow voice. He likes to travel around with a mean old hound.” Penny Wharvey McGill: “A lot of respectable people have been hit by trains.” Pete:“No one’s gonna pick three dirty, unshaved strangers – and one of them a know-it-all who can’t keep his trap shut.” Ulysses Everett McGill: “Pete, the personal rancor reflected in that remark I don’t intend to dignify with comment. However, I would like to address your general attitude of negativity. Consider the lilies o’ the goddamn field or… hell! Take Delmar here as your paradigm of hope.” Delmar O’Donnell: “We thought you was a toad!” Pete: “What?” Delmar O’Donnell: [leaning in, speaking slower] “We thought you was a toad!” Ulysses Everett McGill: “So you’re against me now too? Is that how it is boys? The whole world, God almighty, and now you.” Ulysses Everett McGill: “I like the smell of my hair treatment; the pleasing odor is half the point.” ---
