**The Dark Knight Rises** “Here’s your prize, Labiche. Some of the greatest paintings in the world. Does it please you, Labiche? Give you a sense of excitement in just being near them? A painting means as much to you as a string of pearls to an ape. You won by sheer luck: you stopped me without knowing what you were doing, or why. You are nothing, Labiche – a lump of flesh. The paintings are mine; they always will be; beauty belongs to the man who can appreciate it! They will always belong to me or to a man like me. Now, this minute, you couldn’t tell me why you did what you did.” ---

> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > Hmmm, don’t know if the thread is dying a natural death or everyone has stuff to do for Easter, I think the problem is this game has morphed from “Movie Quotes That Give Away The Film Title” to “Movie Quotes That Are So Bloody Obscure They Don’t Even Show Up On Google.” :rolleyes: Took awhile but your quote appears to be **Gettysburg** (1993). If correct, then: “On a daily basis I consume enough drugs to sedate Manhattan, Long Island, and Queens for a month. I take Quaaludes 10-15 times a day for my ‘back pain’, Adderall to stay focused, Xanax to take the edge off, pot to mellow me out, cocaine to wake me back up again, and morphine…well, because it’s awesome.” ---
