This was actually what I was thinking of when I opened this thread. Another mention is “Go ahead mum, treat yourself.” From Heavenly Creatures. I won’t tell the circumstances to anyone who hasn’t seen the movie, but in context, it’s one of the most chilling bits of dialogue ever. ---

> [@E. Thorp](#): > > In **Happiness** : > > “No. I’d just jerk off instead.” Ugh, that gets my vote. My stomach turned over several time just reading that. **Happiness** is an incredibly disturbing movie as a whole, and that this line is the most disturbing one in it is really saying something. ---

Agree, re **Happiness**. Mine is from the movie **Kalifornia**. This may not be exact: “You’re right. You don’t have a husband.” I had to turn the movie off and quit watching at that point. I hadn’t liked it much anyway and that was the last straw for me. ---

from _The Lion in Winter_ (original version- 1968): 50 year old Henry II (Peter O’Toole) to his teenaged mistress Alice, assuring her of his love: “Alice, in my time I have had whores, milkmaids, courtesans, contessas, queens, novices, gypsies, jades and little boys… but nowhere have I ever found anyone to love but you.” (She smiles with pleasure at the sentiment.) In the recent remake with Patrick Stewart the “and little boys” part is dropped. Goeth in _Schindler’s List_ to the Jewish slave-maid he is in love with: “I know you’re not human in the strictest sense, but…” ---

Unless we’re talking about the remake, which has Ken Foree (“Peter” from the original) briefly playing a televangelist who quotes that line. ---

Yes. But the original line was from – come to think of it – the promo posters for the original 1968 _Night of the Living Dead,_ not _Dawn of the Dead._ And, again, it appeared nowhere in the movie. ---

In regards to **Heavenly Creatures** , (briefly) The movie’s about two young girls who become obsessed with each other and their fantasy world. When they’re threatened with separation, they make a plan to kill one of the girl’s mothers on a walk. Before the walk, the two girls and the mother have tea. The daughter offers her mother a cookie, but she declines because she’s watching her weight. Daughter then tells her, “Go ahead mum, treat yourself.” I probably didn’t do a good job of capturing why it’s so creepy, but it’s an excellent film that I recommend highly. ---
