I looked for an old thread on quotes in the old postings, and figure, will start a new one just to play it safe. You can hate me because I love the Twilight series, but I will defend its honor.

This is from Eclipse:

“When we were 5, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like, astronauts, president… or in my case, a princess. When we were ten, they asked again. We answered, a rock star, cowboy, or in my case, a gold medalist. But now that we’re grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how about this. Who the hell knows? This isn’t the time to make hard and fast decisions; this is a time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love… a lot. Major in philosophy, because there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind, and change it again, because nothing’s permanent. So, make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask what we want to be, we won’t have to guess… we’ll know.”

(Just so y'all know, I got on the wrong subway train in NYC last month and it took me to Chinatown instead of Central Park. It was fun.)

The weekend has landed. All that exists now is clubs, drugs, pubs and parties. I've got 48 hours off from the world, man. I'm gonna blow steam out my head like a screaming kettle, I'm gonna talk cod shit to strangers all night, I'm gonna lose the plot on the dancefloor. The free radicals inside me are freakin', man! Tonight I'm Jip Travolta, I'm Peter Popper, I'm going to never-never land with my chosen family, man. We're gonna get more spaced out than Neil Armstrong ever did, anything could happen tonight, you know? This could be the best night of my life. I've got 73 quid in my back burner - I'm gonna wax the lot, man! The Milky Bars are on me! Yeah!
 ~ Human Traffic

I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.

~ Leon

I had to come all the way from the highway and byways of Tallahassee, Florida to MotorCity, Detroit to find my true love. If you gave me a million years to ponder, I would never have guessed that true romance and Detroit would ever go together. And til this day, the events that followed all still seems like a distant dream. But the dream was real and was to change our lives forever. I kept asking Clarence why our world seemed to be collapsing and things seemed to be getting so shitty. And he'd say, "that's the way it goes, but don't forget, it goes the other way too." That's the way romance is... Usually, that's the way it goes, but every once in awhile, it goes the other way too.

~ True Romance

"There must be something between us, even if it's only an ocean."

An Affair to Remember

"I've always taken you with a grain of salt. On your birthday, when you told me to do a striptease to the theme of "Mighty Mouse", I said okay. On prom night at the hotel when you told me to sleep under the bed in case your mother burst in, I did it. And even during my grandmother's funeral when you told my relatives that you could see her nipples through her burial dress, I let that slide. But if you think I'm gonna suffer any of your shit with a smile now that we're broken up, you're in for some serious fucking disappointment!"

Randal Graves: Which did you like better? "Jedi" or "The Empire Strikes Back"?
Dante Hicks: "Empire".
Randal Graves: Blasphemy.
Dante Hicks: "Empire" had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets.

~ Clerks

 Look at your reflection in the mirror. You're a creature of the night Michael, just like out of a comic book! You're a vampire Michael! My own brother, a goddamn, shit-sucking vampire. You wait 'till mom finds out, buddy!
~ The Lost Boys

The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom; I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh... you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school.

I figured everyone wanted these posted so here are a bunch of quotes from the Ben Affleck/J-lo masterpiece Gigli. You're welcome.


Ricki: It's turkey time.
Larry Gigli: Huh?
Ricki: Gobble, gobble.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Larry Gigli: Don't tell me what we're supposed to do!
Ricki: How about this? You leave him alone or I'll kill you.
Larry Gigli: You'll kill me? Fuck you, go ahead!
Ricki: I'll kill you.
Larry Gigli: You don't tell me what to do, okay? Don't tell me what we might do, don't tell me what we're supposed to do, don't tell me what we maybe should do, don't ever tell me nothing!
Ricki: I'll tell you this. You leave him alone or I'll kill you.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Mother: Is she your sweetheart?
Larry Gigli: Ma!
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ricki: She thinks I'm beautiful.
Larry Gigli: Yeah, well, she's blind in one eye.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Larry Gigli: [breaking someone's laptop] Suck-my-dick.com.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Det. Stanley Jacobellis: Man, you know what I'd love to do, right now? Go down to Marie Callender's, get me a big bowl, pie, some ice cream on it, mmm-hmm good! Put some on your head! Your tongue would slap your brains out trying to get to it! INTERESTED? SURE?
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Larry Gigli: Mr. Starkman...
Starkman: I KNOW MY FUCKIN' NAME. You piece of shit. You don't try to extort a Federal-fuckin'-Prosecutor. And if you do, YOU DON'T FUCK AROUND.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


[first lines]
Larry Gigli: You see, after all is said and done, the only thing you can be really sure of, the only thing you can really count on in this world, is that you just never fucking know.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Larry Gigli: Lemme tell you something, in every relationship, there's a bull and a cow. It just so happens that in this relationship, right here with me and you, I'm the bull, you're the cow. Alright?
[Points to self]
Larry Gigli: Bull.
[Points to Ricki]
Larry Gigli: Cow. You got that?
Ricki: Yeah, I got it. Bull, cow.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Larry Gigli: You know something? You're right. It is sadness. Its sadness and I'm fucking sad. You got me. You're a genius. You know why I'm fucking sad? Because I got this fucking beautiful-sexy-gorgeous-hearthrob-o-rama-fucking-smart-amazing-bombshell-seventeen-on a fucking ten scale- girl sleeping in a bed right next to me and you know what? She's a stone cold dike. A fucking untouchable, unhaveable, unattainable brick wall fucking dike-a-saurus rexi. So its sad. Okay? What you want me to do? I feel fucking sadness about that. There's nothing I can fucking do.
[cue music]
Larry Gigli: And not only is she a major babe, but I really like this girl a lot, a lot, I mean she's not like anybody else I ever knew before and that's a completely fucking new one on me, and I don't even know her real fucking name so there you go. Oh and in case you're interested, my life sucks. Alright? Stick a fork in me I'm done.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Brian: [Robin nonchalantly cuts her wrists] Lady, you need some Band-Aids.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Starkman: Louis, you wanna go to medical school?
Louis: Medical school?
[Starkman shoots him]
Starkman: Yeah! Students there can always use something to learn on!
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Mother: Remember you two, keep an open mind because you never know!
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Starkman: What do you morons think, that this is little Italy? Wake up! THIS IS THE TWENTY-FUCKIN'-FIRST CENTURY!
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Starkman: So now, things are bad.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Larry Gigli: If by some fuckin' miracle long shot you haven't heard of my reputation let me tell you who the fuck I am! I am the fuckin' Sultan of Slick, Sadie! I am the rule of fuckin' cool! You wanna be a gangster? You wanna be a thug? You sit at my fuckin' feet and gather the pearls that emanate forth from me! Because I'm the fuckin' original, straight-first-foremost, pimp-mack, fuckin hustler, original gangster's gangster!
Ricki: I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm gonna go get my stuff.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


[Larry answers the door]
Larry Gigli: Yeah?
Robin: Who the fuck are you?
Larry Gigli: Who the fuck are *you*?
[Robin enters the apartment]
Larry Gigli: Excuse me.
Robin: What a shithole.
Larry Gigli: Lady, I think you're in the wrong place.
Robin: No, you're in the wrong place! You have no idea.
[She sees Brian]
Robin: Oh, and who the fuck are you?
Brian: You're the fuck are you.
Robin: What?
Brian: Huh?
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Larry Gigli: This must be mental-fuckin'-illness week!
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


[last lines]
Ricki: Like your mother said, life's not always black and white. Sometimes you just never know.
Larry Gigli: Are you driving, or are you bullshitting?
Ricki: I'm driving.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Det. Stanley Jacobellis: Your door's not thick enough to pretend you're not home when you're home.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Larry Gigli: What?
Ricki: You know, I bet you'd look great in some mascara.
Larry Gigli: I'm not sure how to take that.
Ricki: It's a compliment.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Larry Gigli: My name, it's pronounced "Gigli", it rhymes with "really".
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Larry Gigli: As far as the whole lesbian thing goes.
Ricki: Yeah?
Larry Gigli: If you do ever think about hoppin' the fence, promise you'll give me a call first.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Larry Gigli: Hey, you wanna turn that down?
High School Kid #1: You fucking turn it down.
Ricki: I don't think this is the best time to be drawing attention to ourselves.
Larry Gigli: Hey, Beavis, turn the fucking radio off.
High School Kid #1: What the fuck is your problem, bitch?
Larry Gigli: "Bitch"?
Ricki: You know what, creating a scene right now would be a bad thing.
High School Kid #1: Yeah, that's right. Why don't you come here so we can kick your ass.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Brian: She's like the ones at the Baywatch. They make my penis sneeze.
Larry Gigli: You got a good sense of humor,you know that?
Brian: God bless you.
Larry Gigli: Thank you.
Brian: No, not you, stupid. When my penis sneezes, I say, 'God bless you'... God bless you, penis.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ricki: [to Larry] You know, I heard you were a bit of a fuck-up. But, frankly, I'm amazed at how much of a fuck-up you really are!
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ricki: [to Larry] I thought you wanted to be my bitch.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ricki: In traditional Tai Moi Chai, there are five levels of digital orb extrusion.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Det. Stanley Jacobellis: Larry, it's your mother!
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Det. Stanley Jacobellis: Larry, I have a chicken!
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Det. Stanley Jacobellis: I know. You don't know nothin'. I can tell, just by lookin' at you.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Det. Stanley Jacobellis: The whole thing's probably alien abduction, like I said before.

In September the students come back and the bookstores are full. Let X equal the month of full bookstores. The number of books approaches infinity as the number of months of cold approaches four.

Ten-hut! My name is Lt. Aldo Raine and I'm puttin' together a special team; and I need me eight soldiers. Eight Jewish-American soldiers. Now, y'all might've of heard rumors about the armada happening soon. Well, we'll be leaving a little earlier. We're gonna be dropped into France, dressed as civilians. And once we're in enemy territory, as a bushwackin' guerrilla army, we're gonna be doing one thing and one thing only … killing Nazis. Now, I don't know about y'all, but I sure as hell didn't come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half of Sicily and jump out of a fuckin' air-o-plane to teach the Nazis lessons in humanity. Nazi ain't got no humanity. They're the foot soldiers of a Jew-hatin', mass murderin' maniac, and they need to be dee-stroyed. That's why any and every son of a bitch we find wearin' a Nazi uniform, they're gonna die. Now, I am the direct descendant of the mountain man Jim Bridger, and that means I got a little Injun in me. And our battle plan will be that of an Apache resistance. We will be cruel to the Germans, and through our cruelty they will know who we are. And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us, and the Germans won't be able to help themselves but to imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, and our boot heels, and the edge of our knives. And the Germans will be sickened by us, and the Germans will talk about us, and the Germans will fear us. And when the Germans close their eyes at night and they're tortured by their subconscious for the evil that they've done, it will be with thoughts of us that they are tortured with. Sound good? ... That's what I like to hear. But I got a word of warning for all you would-be-warriors: when you join my command, you take on debit, a debit you owe me personally. Each and every man under my command owes me one hundred Nazi scalps. And I want my scalps! And all y'all will get me one hundred Nazi scalps taken from the heads of one hundred dead Nazis, or you will die tryin'!

Ah, devil ether. It makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel. Total loss of all basic motor skills. Blurred vision, no balance, numb tongue. The mind recoils in horror, unable to communicate with the spinal column. Which is interesting because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can't control it. You approach the turnstiles and know that when you get there, you have to give the man two dollars or he won't let you inside. But when you get there, everything goes wrong. Some angry rotarian shoves you and you think "What's happening here? What's going on?" And you hear yourself mumbling..."Dogs fucked the Pope... no fault of mine..." Ether is the perfect drug for Las Vegas. In this town they love a drunk. Fresh meat. So they put us through the turnstiles and turned us loose inside.

Dan: I'm scared like I can't tell you. Of all people, you're standing right over there... by that counter. You're in both dreams and you're scared too. I get even more frightened when I see how afraid you are and then I realize what it is. There's a man... in back of this place. He's the one who's doing it. I can see him through the wall. I can see his face. I hope that I never see that face, ever, outside of a dream.

Chris Davis, seriously?

Avery, you reminded me of a quote:

Lord of Darkness: "The last unicorn dies tonight! As her blood ebbs, the son sets forever! There shall never be another dawn."

Him too: "I am the Lord of Darkness! I require the solace of the shadows and the dark of the night. Sunshine is my destroyer!" (I guess this explains the other quote).

Him too: "Father! I hold the world in my grasp, and yet this... girl... distracts me. It has been eternities since I've felt such desire! What am I do do?"

His "father": "She... fascinates you because her soul is pure. To make her one of us, charm her! Hypnotize her! Break her spirit! Bring her to you!"

(I used to know Legend by heart, many years ago. But the EUROPEAN version, which is very different in sountrack and many of the scenes and lines from the US release, though it's the same movie with the same exact actors).

 

And now, Full Metal Jacket:

Animal Mother: "Have you seen much combat?"

Joker: "I've seen a little on... TV."

Animal Mother: "So... You're a real comedian. I've got a joke for you: I'm gonna tear you a new asshole."

Joker: "Not before you eat the peanuts out of my shit."

Animal Mother: "You talk the talk. Do you walk the walk?"

(and at this point they get pulled apart).

@ J.Y.  Thats one of my favorite movie quotes. 


"Alright, I'm gonna give you a little feedback since you seem to be proceeding through life like a cat without whiskers perpetually caught behind the refrigerator. Your life and watching you live it is like a gag-reel of ineffective bodily functions. I swear to god that a toddler has a better understanding of the intricacies of chew-swallow-digest-don't kill yourself on your TV dinner! And yet you've managed to turn this near death fuckup of yours into a moral referendum on me!"


"This is right, my dear. I stole something, I did. I stole happiness with you. I don't mind paying."


'"If I don't come back, tell mother I love her."
"Your mother's dead, Llewelyn."
"Well then I'll tell her myself."'
