My good man, did you simply get carried away with your dramatic gesture, or are you pointing your weapon at me with lethal intention?
We’re more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can’t give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They’re all blood, you see.
Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them.
Good signior, you shall more command with years
Than with your weapons.
It was a movie
[yeah, Othello’s been made into a movie several times. Good one!]
Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my King, He would not in mine age have left me naked to mine enemies.
Right here, here, here! Right now! Why not? Why not? I’ve prayed on the streets. I’ve prayed in the saloons. I’ve prayed on the toilets. It don’t matter where, so long as He gets that prayer! See Him!
You remember what the voice said last night? That we should all do our homework for tomorrow? Well, let’s take a look at the things that God told us to look at. Let’s just see how great his miracles really are. There’s the moon. The stars. It’s the air we breathe. The earth we walk on. It’s the trees. It’s the hills. And it’s things like loving each other. The way I love you and the way Mom loves us. It’s all those wonderful things, Johnny. The way I love you and you love me, we got nothing to worry about. Nothing to be afraid of. And most of all, we must never be afraid of God. Because God is the whole world. We’re living, Johnny. You and Mom and me. Mr. Brannan. All of us. We’re living. So let’s make it count.
I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what’s gonna happen or, who I’m gonna meet, where I’m gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life’s a gift and I don’t intend on wasting it. You don’t know what hand you’re gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you… to make each day count.
The trick is to realize that you’re always doing what you want to do… always. Nobody’s making you do anything. Once you get that, you see that you’re free and that life is really just a series of choices. Nothing happens to you. You choose.
I just want him to stay with me until I can be sure he won’t turn into Norman Nothing. I want to be sure he’ll know when he’s chickening out on himself. I want him to get to know exactly the special thing he is or else he won’t notice it when it starts to go. I want him to stay awake and know who the phonies are, I want him to know how to holler and put up an argument, I want a little guts to show before I can let him go. I want to be sure he sees all the wild possibilities. I want him to know it’s worth all the trouble just to give the world a little goosing when you get the chance. And I want him to know the subtle, sneaky, important reason why he was born a human being and not a chair.
What do you want from me? You want me to tell you to stay, hmm? Is that what you’re looking for? You want me to get down on my knees and beg you to save the Baker Boys from doom? Forget it, sweetheart. We survived for 15 years before you strutted onto the scene. Fifteen years.
We’ll always have Paris. We didn’t have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.
[singing]
*I hate Paris in the springtime/
I hate Paris in the fall/
I hate Paris in the summer when it sizzles/
I hate Paris in the winter when it drizzles/
I hate Paris, oh why oh why do I hate Paris?/
Because my love is there… *
with his SLUT girlfriend.
You don’t need a man, Liz. You need a champion.
Listen to me, mister. You’re my knight in shining armor. Don’t forget it.
By the authority granted to me by his Imperial Majestey Kaiser Wilhelm the Second I pronounce you man and wife - proceed with the execution.
AaaaauughEEEHH!
(Wilhelm scream)
Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there’s usually only one thing you can do.
[I can’t resist]
What’s that?
[As you wish…]
“Go through his clothes and look for loose change.”
Put that back. Put it Back! We’re not looting dead bodies for swag.
