Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine. Casablanca
And from my all-time favorite movie, Braveheart
Ay, fight and you may die, run and you’ll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one fchance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom?
The Almighty thinks he can get me out of this, but he’s pretty sure you’re fucked.
“You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means”.
“Whoa, whoa, whooooaaaa. Nice shootin’, Tex”
“I feel so funky.”
“Where’s Wyatt?”
“Down by the creek. Walkin’ on water.”
“You want free speech? Let’s see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil who is standing center stage advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours.”
Back in the “old days”(50’s?) when dialogue was more restricted, the writers had to be more creative when talking about sex. I remember “The Naked Jungle” with Eleanor Powell and a young Charlton Heston, in which he is a plantation owner in Brazil and she is his mail order bride. They haven’t,ummm, consumated the relationship yet and he is being a jerk, picking on her and trying to find fault. He thinks she has “been with another man” so she tells him the truth, she is a widow. She has been playing a piano that sounds terrible, and snaps at him “If you knew anything about music you would know a piano is better when it has been played. THIS piano is sadly out of tune!” Then she bangs her fingers on the keys and stomps out of the room. MUCH better than more direct speech.
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe…
Attack Ships on fire off the shores of Orion.
I’ve watched C-beams glitter in the dark off of Tanhauser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time…like tears, in rain.
Time to die.”
Yeah!
“Hello, vould yooo like ah rrrroll in da hay? It’s fun! Roll…roll…roll!”
“No matter where you go, there you are!”
“Oh don’t be such a fool Calvin! Anyone whose anybody smokes and drinks!”
“Why do I gotta be Mr. Pink? I don’t want to Mr.Pink!”
“Get away from me, Weiner Dog.”
"She’s my sister…(slap!)…she’s my daughter…(slap!)…she’s my sister…(slap!)…she’s my daughter…(slap!)…
“We’ve got to get these people to a hospital!”
“A hospital? What is it?”
“It’s a big building with doctors and patients! But that’s not important right now!”
“Abashed the Devil stood and felt how awful goodness is.”
“It’s justice, you bastards!”
“It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds.”
“I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.”
“…if you actually were as innocent as you pretend to be, we’d never get anywhere.”
“He should have armed himself if he’s gonna decorate his saloon with my friend.”
“My mother used to say to me, “Elwood”—she always called me Elwood—“In this world, Elwood, you must be oh-so smart, or oh-so pleasant.” For years I was smart. I recommend pleasant—and you may quote me.”
