We change, that’s all. You see, the guy I am now is not the guy I was then. If the guy I was then met the guy I am now he’d beat the shit out of me. Those are the facts. #2 - There’s nothing going on. That’s what I saw when I looked out over the city: nothing. How the Mormon settlers looked upon this valley and felt that it was the promised land is beyond me. I don’t know, maybe it looked different back then. Both quotes are from Stevo. ---

Marine\_One: Bingo! _Rustler’s Rhapsody_ is it! It has [way too many great lines](http://us.imdb.com/Quotes?0089945) (and that URL does not list enough of 'em, IMO). And yep, I got the “human hair” line wrong. The correct line is, (according to the link): “Give me a tall glass of warm gin with a human hair in it.” Oh my gosh, what a great movie. ---

**Drastic** , correct on 1 & 2. **Flowerchild** correct on 3. BTW, my above post is from _SLC Punk_ - great flick - Matthew Lillard’s best IMHO. Here’s one: “I’ve always been considered an asshole for about as long as I can remember. That’s just my style.” ---
