[QUOTE=Big Bad Voodoo Lou] What was the context behind Morris Day’s line? [/QUOTE] Morris’ band, high off the adrenaline of their performance a few moment before, parade past Prince’s dressing room. They decide to antagonize Prince right before he goes on stage by asking him about the family. The question is cruel because Prince’s father had attempted suicide the day before and was in the hospital. ---

I don’t have direct quotes to hand, I’m afraid, but I would have thought several of Ben Kingsley’s outbursts and diatribes in _Sexy Beast_ would deserve a mention in this thread. ‘Offensive’ doesn’t even _start_ to describe the way he addresses the other characters. ---

[QUOTE=CalMeacham] “In order to understand Death you must fuck Life in the belly” From “Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein” (which Andy Warhol had virtually nothing to do with). Among other things, it bothered me because the quote seemed backwards – the Doctor wants to understand Life, after all, and he’s violating a corpse. [/QUOTE] I think the quote is actually “… in the gall bladder.” ---

Oh gosh. Well, half of almost anything said by David Thewlis’s character Johnny in _Naked_. This is one of the _nicer_ remarks, said to an older woman who’s coming on to him: > [@Johnny](#): > > You think you can recapture your youth by fucking it? You don’t want to fuck me. You’ll catch something cruel. Also, this classic from _The Silence of the Lambs_: > [@Hannibal Lechter](#): > > You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition’s given you some length of bone, but you’re not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling? And that accent you’ve tried so desperately to shed: pure West Virginia. What is your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamp? You know how quickly the boys found you… all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars… while you could only dream of getting out… getting anywhere… getting all the way to the FBI. Finally, from the same film, we go from verbose to concise: > [@Miggs](#): > > I can smell your cunt. :: shudder :: Poor Clarice.
