"Feast your eyes! Glut your soul on my accursed ugliness!" "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! You ain't heard nothin' yet. Wait a minute,
I tell ya, you ain't heard nothin'! Do you wanna hear 'Toot, Toot, Tootsie!'?" "I'll meet you tonight under the moon. Oh, I can see you now, you
and the moon. You wear a necktie so I'll know ya." - "When I want to know anything from you, I'll tell you, you long-legged
son of a - " "You
know I can't run away. That's why you accuse me. I tell you I didn't
want to kill you. I could keep you alive. If you jumped in here
again, I wouldn't do it. You see, when you jumped in here, you were
my enemy - and I was afraid of you. But you're just a man like me,
and I killed you. Forgive me, comrade. Say that for me. Say
you forgive me! Oh, no. You're dead! Only you're better off than
I am. You're through. They can't do any more to you now. Oh, God,
why did they do this to us? We only wanted to live, you and I. Why
should they send us out to fight each other? If we threw away these
rifles and these uniforms, you could be my brother just like Kat
and Albert. You'll
have to forgive me, comrade." "And our bodies are earth. And our thoughts are clay. And we sleep
and eat with death." "Gimme a whiskey, ginger ale on the side, and don't be stingy, baby." "One morning, I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas,
I don't know." "We took some pictures of the native girls, but they weren't developed...But we're going back again in a couple of weeks." "The
age of chivalry has passed. This, honey, is the age of chiselry." "Oh,
that dirty, double-crossin' rat. I'd like to get my
own hooks on him. I'd tear him to pieces." "I am...Drac-u-la. I bid you welcome." "Listen to them. Children of the night. What mu-u-u-sic they make." "I never drink wi-i-ine." "Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!" "Mother of Mercy! Is this the end of Rico?" "I am Mata Hari, my own master." "The men I know, and I've known dozens of them, oh, they're so nice,
so polished, so considerate. Most women like that type. I guess they're
afraid of the other kind. I thought I was, too. But you're so strong.
You don't give. You take. Oh, Tommy, I could love you to death." -
"I didn't ask you for any lip. I asked you if you had a drink." "I ain't so tough." "I'd like to kiss ya, but I just washed ma hair." "But I want to be alone." - "The
Grand Hotel. Always the same. People come. People go. Nothing
ever happens." "You're
a disgrace to our family name of Wagstaff, if such a thing is possible.
What's all this talk I hear about you fooling around with the college
widow? No wonder you can't get out of college. Twelve years in one
college! I went to three colleges in twelve years and fooled
around with three college widows! When I was your age, I went
to bed right after supper. Sometimes I went to bed before supper.
Sometimes I went without my supper and didn't go to bed at all! A
college widow stood for something in those days. In fact, she stood
for plenty." "I'd horsewhip you, if I had a horse." "Baravelli.
You've got the brain of a four-year-old boy, and I bet he was glad
to get rid of it." - "Will
you write? Do you need any money? But you must, Jim. How do you live?" - "What is the law?" "This
world's divided into two kinds of people - the hunter and the
hunted. Luckily, I'm a hunter. Nothing can ever change that." - "He
talks of wine and women as a prelude to the hunt. We barbarians
know that it is after the chase - and then only - that man revels." "He-he-he
went for a little walk! Ha, ha, ha.You should have seen his face!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...!" - "Goodness, what beautiful diamonds!" -
"I've changed my name." - "Yes, Jane. (She points at him.) You? (She points at herself.) Jane." - "It
must be the most marvelous supper. We may not eat it, but it must
be marvelous." - "I was reading a book the other day...Yes. It's all about civilization
or something, a nutty kind of a book. Do you know that the guy said that
machinery is going to take the place of every profession?" "You know, you haven't stopped talking since I came here? You must have
been vaccinated with a phonograph needle." "Clear?
Huh! Why, a four year-old child could understand this report. Run
out and find me a four year-old child. I can't make head or tail
out of it." "I
could dance with you 'til the cows come home. On second thought,
I'd rather dance with the cows 'til you come home." "Remember, you're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably
more than she ever did." "Gentlemen,
Chicolini here may talk like an idiot and look like an idiot, but
don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot." - "I suggest that we give him ten years in Leavenworth or eleven
years in Twelveworth." -
"I'm not asking anything of you that I wouldn't ask of my own
sister. Now, will you do it?" "Outside, Countess. As long as they've got sidewalks, you've got
a job." "It
must have been tough on your mother, not having any children." "You
look adorable. Now go out there and be so swell that you'll
make me hate you." "Sawyer,
you listen to me and you listen hard. 200 people, 200
jobs, $200,000 dollars, five weeks of grind and blood
and sweat depend upon you. It's the lives of all these people who
have worked with you. You've got to go on, and you have to give and
give and give. They've got to like you, they've got to. Do you understand?
You can't fall down. You can't, because your future's in it, my future
and everything all of us have is staked on you. All right now, I'm
through. But you keep your feet on the ground
and your head on those shoulders of yours and go out ... and
Sawyer, you're going out a youngster, but you've got to
come back a star!" "Well,
it's not the men in your life that counts. It's the life in your
men." "Well, when I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better." "Oh Beulah...Peel me a grape." "And don't forget. Come up and
see me sometime." "The
drugs I took seemed to light up my brain. Suddenly I realized the power
I held, the power to rule, to make the world grovel at my feet." "We'll
begin with a reign of terror - a few murders here and there. Murders
of great men, murders of little men. Just to show we make no distinction.
I might even wreck a train or two... just these fingers around
a signalman's throat, that's all." "It's money and adventure and fame. It's the thrill of a lifetime and
a long sea voyage that starts at six o'clock tomorrow morning." "Look up slowly, Ann. That's it. You don't see anything. Now look
higher. Still higher. Now you see it. You're amazed! You can't believe
it. Your eyes open wider. It's horrible, Ann, but you can't look away.
There's no chance for you, Ann. No escape. You're helpless, Ann, helpless.
There's just one chance, if you can scream. But your throat's paralyzed.
Try to scream, Ann. Try. Perhaps if you didn't see it, you could scream.
Throw your arms across your eyes and scream, Ann, scream for your life!" -
"Lieutenant, I'm Carl Denham." "I
wasn't always rich...No, there was a time I didn't know where my
next husband was coming from." - "Why
don't you come up sometime 'n see me? I'm home every evenin'." "It was a toss-up whether I go in for diamonds or sing in the choir.
The choir lost." "You know, it takes two to get one in trouble." "You're
my prisoner. And I'm gonna be your jailer for a long, long time." - "Where'd
you get that, dark and handsome?" "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into!" -
"Oh, what is the matter with you? Are you still moping over that
same girl? Why, the world is just full of girls." "Shapeley's the name - and that's the way I like 'em!" "Behold the walls of Jericho! Uh, maybe not as thick as the ones that
Joshua blew down with his trumpet, but a lot safer. You see, uh, I have
no trumpet." "Aren't
you going to give me a little credit?" "Suffering sciatica!" "You dirty swine! I never cared for you, not once. I was always makin' it up to soften ya. Ya bored me stiff. I hated ya. It made me sick when I had to let ya kiss me. I only did it because ya begged me, ya hounded me and drove me crazy! And after you kissed me, I always used to wipe my mouth! Wipe my mouth!" "They
seek him here. They seek him there. Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in heaven? Is he in hell? That damned elusive Pimpernel!" -
"Say, how many drinks have you had?" - "Oh,
I'm a hero. I was shot twice in the Tribune. "My soul, woman, I give you three murders and you're still not
satisfied." "Get
out! From now on, I close the iron door on you." "He
won't kill himself. It would please too many people." "If
there is justice in heaven, Mildred Plotka, you will end up where
you belong - in the burlesque house!" -
"Before you came, I was all alone. It is bad to be alone." "To
a new World of Gods and Monsters. Ha, ha." "Yes,
go! You live! Go!...You stay! We belong dead!" "'Twas
I informed on your son, Mrs. McPhillip. Forgive me." -
"Mr. Christian, I give you your last chance to return to duty." "I'll
take this boat, as she floats, to England, if I must. I'll live to
see you - all of ya - hanging from the highest yardarm in
the British fleet!" - "Waiter." |
"And
you're willing to pay him a thousand dollars a night just for singing?
Why, you can get a phonograph record of 'Minnie The Moocher' for
seventy-five cents. For a buck and a quarter, you can get Minnie." "That's
why I'm sitting here with you. Because you remind me of you. Your
eyes, your throat, your lips. Everything about you reminds me of
you. Except you. How do you account for that? If she figures that
one out, she's good." - "...It's
all right, that's, that's in every contract. That's, that's what
they call a 'sanity clause.'" "It's
a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done. It's a far,
far better rest I go to than I have ever known." - "I
didn't realize I was disturbing you. You see, every once in a while,
I...I suddenly find myself dancing." "For
the woman - the kiss. For the man - the sword." "I
always look well when I'm near death." "Never
be jealous again. Never doubt that I love you more than the world.
More than myself." "I'm
burned to death by a mob of animals. I'm legally dead and they're
legally murderers. That I'm alive is not their fault. But I know
'em. I know a lot of 'em, and they'll hang for it accordin' to
the law which says if you kill somebody, you gotta be killed yourself.
But I'll give 'em the chance they didn't give me. They'll
get a legal trial in a legal courtroom. They will have a legal
judge and a legal defense. They'll get a legal sentence and a
legal death." "I've got to have more steps. I need more steps. I've got to get
higher, higher!" "People
here are funny. They-they work so hard at living they forget
how to live." "Why, everybody in
Mandrake Falls is pixilated - except us." "From
what I can see, no matter what system of government we have, there
will always be leaders and always be followers. It's like the road
out in front of my house. It's on a steep hill. Every day I watch
the cars climbing up. Some go lickety-split up that hill on high,
some have to shift into second, and some sputter and shake and slip
back to the bottom again. Same cars, same gasoline, yet some make
it and some don't. And I say the fellas who can make the hill on
high should stop once in a while and help those who can't. That's
all I'm trying to do with this money. Help the fellas who can't make
the hill on high." "In the opinion of the court, you are not only sane but you're
the sanest man that's ever walked into this courtroom. Case dismissed." "...a
practical device which automatically feeds your men while at work.
Don't stop for lunch. Be ahead of your competitor. The Billows
feeding machine will eliminate the lunch hour, increase your production,
and decrease your overhead." "Oh, Money, money, money! The Frankenstein Monster that destroys souls." "She
has heroic stuff in her. She may be one of the immortal women of
France. Another Joan of Arc, George Sand, Madame Curie or Du Barry.
l want to show her that l believe in her, and how else can l do
it? Living, l'm worth nothing to her. Dead, l can buy her the tallest
cathedrals, golden vineyards and dancing in the streets.
One well-directed bullet will accomplish all that. And it'll earn
a measure of reflected glory for him that fired it and
him that stopped it. This document will be my ticket to immortality.
lt'll inspire people to say of me, 'There was an artist who died
before his time.'" -
"And when he has conquered all the deeps of space and all the
mysteries of time, still he will be beginning." "Oh,
how can I believe you? 'The car broke down.' People stopped believing
that one before cars stopped breaking down." "I
wouldn't go on living with you if you were dipped in platinum. So
go on, divorce me." "...And
if it should get dull, you can always go over to Tul-sa for the
weekend." "To
you, my little prairie flower, I'm thinkin' of you every hour.
Though now you're just a friend to me, I wonder what the end will
be....Oh, you would make my life divine, If you would change your
name to mine." "Emily, I have a little confession to make. I really am a horse doctor. But marry me and I'll never look at any other horse." - "I
want to be near you. I want you to hold me. Hold me closer! Closer!
Closer!" "It's the old, old story. Boy meets girl - Romeo and Juliet - Minneapolis
and St. Paul!" "O-Lan, you are the earth." "All
my friends have told me that it was insane for a single person
to oppose the immense machinery of the law, the glory of the army,
and the power of the state. They warned me that my actions would
be mercilessly crushed, that I would be destroyed. But what does
it matter if an individual is shattered if only justice is resurrected?" "For
when that day comes, the world must begin to look for a new life.
And it is our hope that they may find it here. For
here, we shall be with their books and their music and the way
of life based on one simple rule: Be kind. When that day comes,
it is our hope that the brotherly love of Shangri-La will spread
throughout the world." "Yes.
Yes, I believe it. I believe it because I want to believe it. Gentlemen,
I give you a toast. Here's my hope that Robert Conway will find
his Shangri-La. Here's my hope that we all find our Shangri-La." "Magic Mirror on the Wall. Who is the fairest one of all?" "You may as well go to perdition in ermine. You're sure to come back in
rags." "The calla lilies are in bloom again. Such a strange flower, suitable to any occasion. I carried them on my wedding day and now I place them here in memory of something that has died." "Oh
please, let me see her face when he kisses her. Please..." "Now that you've got the mine, I'll bet you'll be a swell gold digger." "Welcome to Sherwood, my lady!" - "Overtaxed,
overworked and paid off with a knife, a club or a rope." "May I obey all your commands with equal pleasure, sire." - "I'm sorry, Pepe. He thought you were going to escape." "Whaddya hear? Whaddya say?" "It's true, boys. Every word of it. He died like they said. All right,
fellas. Let's go and say a prayer for a boy who couldn't run as fast as
I could." "Now
look, Whitey. In
a pinch I can be tougher than you are, and I guess maybe this
is the pinch." "Oh, yes, I'll be with you in a minute, Mr. Peabody." - "But why are you wearing these clothes?" "The
place is haunted...Frightful ghosts all wearing stuffed shirts
and mink-lined ties." "Pres, I can't believe it's you here. I've dreamed about it so long.
A lifetime - no, longer than that. I put on this white dress for you to
help me tell ya how humbly I ask ya to forgive me. Pres, I'm kneelin'
to ya...to ask ya to forgive me and love me as I love you." "Well,
sir, here we are again." "Elementary,
my dear Watson. Purely elementary." "Well,
I- I
think I'll have a large order of 'prognosis negative'." "Is that you, Martha?...I don't want to be disturbed." "Fiddle-dee-dee." "It ain't fittin'. It just ain't fittin'." "He looks as if, as if he knows what I look like without my shimmy." -
"And it sure is a happy day." "Lawdy! We got to have a doctor! I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies." "No, I don't think I will kiss you, although you need kissing badly. That's what's wrong with you. You should be kissed - and often, and by someone
who knows how." - "...Rhett, if you go, where shall I go? What shall I do?" "As God is my witness, they're not going to lick
me! I'm going to live through this, and when it's all over, I'll never
be hungry again. No, nor any of my folks! If I have to lie, steal,
cheat, or kill! As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again." - "But
I must think about it. I must think about it. What is there to
do? What is there that matters?" "I've
seen the old traditions dying one by one. Grace and dignity and feeling
for the past. All that matters here today is a fat banking account.
You're trying to run the school like a factory for turning out money-making,
machine-made snobs! You've raised the fees, and in the end, the boys
who really belong to Brookfield have been frozen out, frozen out. Modern
methods! Intensive training! Poppycock! Give a boy a sense of humor
and a sense of proportion and he'll stand up to anything!" "I
thought I heard you say it was a pity, a pity I never had
children. But you're wrong. I have. Thousands of them. Thousands
of them, and all boys!" "Otherwise,
you're looking very regimental, Din." "Oh,
Watson - the needle!" "Sanctuary!
Sanctuary!" "Why was I not made of stone like thee?" "Dad always used to say the only causes worth fighting
for were the lost causes." "...because I
wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind
them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday
kindness and a - a little looking out for the other fella, too..." "You think I'm licked. You all think I'm licked. Well, I'm not
licked, and I'm gonna stay right here and fight for this lost cause
even if this room gets filled with lies like these, and the Taylors
and all their armies come marching into this place. Somebody'll listen to me." "We want to be alone." "Your
general appearance is not distasteful." "...It's midnight. One half of Paris is making love to the other
half." "Tonight, just tonight, she belongs to me! Tonight I want her to
call me Mommy." "I'm hard to get, Geoff. All you have to do is ask me." -
"He's dead." - "Well,
they're saved from the blessings of civilization." "Toto, I've
a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!" "Hee
hee hee ha ha! Going so soon? I wouldn't hear of it! Why, my little
party's just beginning!" "The Great Oz has spoken. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain ... the ... Great ...
er ... Oz has spoken." "...And remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others." "Oh!
You cursed brat. Look what you've done. I'm melting! Melting! Oh,
what a world! What a world! Who would have thought a good little
girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness. Oh! Look
out! Look out! I'm going. Oh, oh!" - "Yes,
I'm ready now." "Oh,
but anyway, Toto, we're home! Home! And this is my room - and you're
all here! And I'm not gonna leave here ever, ever again because
I love you all! - And oh, Auntie Em, there's no place like home." "Isn't
that divine? Jungle Red." "By
the way. There's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in high
society - outside of a kennel." "Oh,
my
dear, you've got the Reno jumpy-wumpsies!" -
"It's true. It's true. I'm yours, Heathcliff. I've never been anyone
else's." "I killed you. Haunt me then. Haunt your murderer. I know that
ghosts have wandered on the Earth. Be with me always. Take any form.
Drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this dark alone where I cannot
find you. I cannot live without my life. I cannot die without my soul." -
"Ain't you goin' back, Abe?" |
