ah, a35362, A Lion in Winter OToole and Hepburn at their best. One of my favorite films. Some more great quotes from it: “If you’re a prince, there’s hope for every ape in Africa.” “Of course he has a knife, he always has a knife, we all have knives! It’s 1183 and we’re all barbarians!” “Henry’s bed is Henry’s province, he may people it with sheep if he wishes. Which upon occasion he has done.” “I made Louis take me on Crusade. I dressed my women as Amazons and we rode bare-breasted halfway to Damascus. Louis had a seizure and I damn near died of windburn… but the troops were dazzled.” “Give me a little peace.” “A little? Why so modest? How about eternal peace? Now there’s a thought.” ---

Oh, come on! How about: “Heeere’s Johnny!!!” “Gimme a chicken salad sandwich, on white toast. And hold the chicken.” “Hold the chicken?!?” “Yeah. Hold the chicken…(wait for it)…between your knees.” “What do they call a Whopper?” “I don’t know, I didn’t go to Burger King.” “When you hang somebody, you’d better hang 'em high.” “Does it make you laugh when I say Biggus…Dickus?!?” ---

The Dude: “And, you know, he’s got emotional problems, man.” Walter Sobchak: “You mean… beyond pacifism?” “The Dude abides.” “That’s, like, your opinion, man.”(in my signature) “This is not Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.” “I am the walrus.” Fight Club “You are the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.” “With a gun in your mouth, you speak only in vowels.” “Motherf\*\*\*er! You hit me in the ear!”(Great scene!!!) “Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.” “If I had a tumor, I’d name it Marla.” “I am Jack’s cold sweat.” “Did you know that by mixing equal parts of gasoline and frozen orange juice concentrate you can make napalm?”(handy tip) These are both two amazing films! Woo! ---

One of my favorite lines is from the otherwise totally forgettable _Honey, I blew up the kid_. A baby has been transformed into supergiant size, and is running amok, so to save it they also expand its mother, so this very large mom goes chasing after the baby, and an onlooker says: “Look at the _size_ of that mother” others: “Don’t you mean the virgin Connie Swayle?” “Dodge this” “Gentlemen, let’s broaden our minds… Lawrence?” “Stacy, we broke up three months ago” “That doesn’t mean we can’t still go out” “Well it does, actually. That’s what breaking up is” “Nobody’s really going to be free until nerd persecution ends” “Hey, you. You get your damn hands off of her” “You rebel scum!” “Toe pick” “MORTAL KOMBAT!” (followed by loud techno music) “I see that you are speechless… a fine quality in a wife” “He chose… poorly” “Don’t hurt my mules” “Suuuuppppeeeerrrrmmmaaaannn” ---

Here’s a few random faves: “You know why life is like a mountain railroad?

More quotes from the movie: “The day those stout hearts band together is the day that pigs get wings.” “There’ll be pork in the treetops come morning!” “Poor John. No one ever says poor John.

It’s a fact. Sicilians have nigger blood pumpin’ through their hearts. If you don’t believe me, look it up. You see, hundreds and hundreds of years ago the Moors conquered Sicily. And Moors are niggers. Way back then, Sicilians were like the wops in northern Italy. Blond hair, blue eyes. But, once the Moors moved in there, they changed the whole country. They did so much fuckin’ with the Sicilian women, they changed the blood-line for ever, from blond hair and blue eyes to black hair and dark skin. I find it absolutely amazing to think that to this day, hundreds of years later, Sicilians still carry that nigger gene. I’m just quotin’ history. It’s a fact. It’s written. Your ancestors were niggers. Your great, great, great, great, great-grandmother was fucked by a nigger, and had a half-nigger kid. That is a fact. Now tell me, am I lyin’? The best scene in a movie IMO. ---

“Well, I guess I’ve done murder. Oh, I won’t think about that now. I’ll think about that tomorrow.” “Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops!” “I’m looking at _you_, miss.” “You be strong, you survive. You stay alive. No matter what occurs. I will find you. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far. I will find you – I will find you!” “Sometimes, Selena, being a bitch is all a woman has to hold on to.” “Trust me, darling, it’s for the best.” [BLAM!!] “Fasten your seat belts, kids. It’s going to be a bumpy night.” “My natural habitat is the theater. In it, I toil not, neither do I spin. I am a critic.” “Murder is my favorite crime.” “When a dame gets killed, she doesn’t worry about how she looks.” “In my case, self-absorption is completely justified.” “I don’t use a pen. I write with a goose quill dipped in venom.” “I’m not kind, I’m vicious. It’s the secret of my charm.” “It took more than one man to name me Shanghai Lily.” “Monsieur Valmont never opens his mouth without calculating what damage he can do.” “Love is too weak a word for what I feel.

“You see, boys forget what their country means by just reading ‘the land of the free’ in history books. Then they get to be men they forget even more. Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: ‘I’m free to think and to speak; my ancestors couldn’t; I can, and my children will.’ Boys ought to grow up remembering that.” “Just remember this, Mr. Potter: that this _rabble_ you’re talking about, they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath?” _“Hellllllp meeeee!! HELLLLLLP MEEEEEEE!!!”_ “You want that gun? Pick it up. I wish you would.” “Is it showing off when a man does what he’s capable of doing? Is a bird showing off when it flies?” “How much for your daughter?” “It’s like the car. He hates her, loves the car.” ---

Christopher Walken has the uncanny ability to come into a movie and with one scene, steal the whole picture, just like he did with True Romance above This is from Pulp Fiction Your granddad was a Marine and he was killed with all the other Marines at the battle of Wake Island. Your granddad was facing death and he knew it. None of those boys had any illusions about ever leavin’ that island alive. So three days before the Japanese took the island, your 22-year old grandfather asked a gunner on an Air Force transport named Winocki, a man he had never met before in his life, to deliver to his infant son, who he had never seen in the flesh, his gold watch. Three days later, your grandfather was dead. But Winocki kept his word. After the war was over, he paid a visit to your grandmother, delivering to your infant father, his Dad’s gold watch. This watch. This watch was on your Daddy’s wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi. He was captured and put in a Vietnamese prison camp. Now he knew if the gooks ever saw the watch it’s be confiscated. The way your Daddy looked at it, that watch was your birthright. And he’d be damned if and slopeheads were gonna put their greasy yella hands on his boy’s birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide somethin’. His ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of disentary, he gave me the watch. I hid with uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you. ---
