If you’re like me you’ve seen many films multiple times. The collection of movie quotes in one’s head can be very telling. Most of the time it reveals the time one came of age. I am going to throw out a whole mess of them. Some come from Oscar movies, some do not. Some come from the same movie. Fight the urge to google, although they are easy to find probably.
Have at it!
1. “Is CBS Corporate telling CBS News not to go to air with this story?”
2. “Have her then, but you’re a lordly fool. She’s been plucked since I saw her last and not by you. It takes a woman to know it.”
3. “Wouldn’t this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive? If needy was a turn-on?”
4. “You’re not very smart you are you? I like that in a man.”
5. “I found an alien pubic hair in my drink. Is it yours?”
6. “All those sticky, tedious fumblings in the back seats of cars while you could only dream about getting out, getting anywhere, getting all the way to the F.B.I.”
7. “If it was anybody else, I’d say what’s going to happen to you would be a lesson to you. Only you’re going to need more than one lesson. And you’re going to get more than one lesson.”
8. “Sometimes you have to be a high-riding bitch to survive. Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hold onto.”
9. “Now, gentlemen, around this time you could ask whether you’re real or fictitious. I, however, think that’s too easy, so I won’t ask that yet. Okay, my native land is the jungle. I visited America, but the visit was not fortuitous to me, but the implication is that it was to somebody else. When I went from the jungle to America, did I go by boat?”
10. “Take care of yourself, Han. I guess that’s what you’re best at.”
11. “Lovely waistcoat. Shame about the poetry.”
12. “My secret is, I always use fresh tomatoes, never canned. And to give it that extra zip, I mix a little Spam with the ground beef.”
13. “Mostly I remember the last one. The wild finish. A guy standing on a station platform in the rain with a comical look in his face because his insides have been kicked out.”
14. “I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.”
15. “You can’t really dust for vomit.”
16. “I have a ginormous ass and a gut that swings back and forth in front of me like a shopping cart with a bent wheel.”
17. “I’m loud, and I’m vulgar, and I wear the pants in the house because somebody’s got to‚Ķ but I am not a monster! I’m NOT!”
18. “Funny business, a woman’s career. The things you drop on your way up the ladder so you can move faster. You forget you’ll need them again when you get back to being a woman.”
19. “I ain’t saying it’s right. But you’re saying a foot massage don’t mean nothing, and I’m saying it does. Now, look, I’ve given a million ladies a million foot massages, and they all meant something.”
20. “I was depressed at that time. I was in analysis. I was suicidal as a matter of fact and would have killed myself; but I was in analysis with a strict Freudian, and if you kill yourself, they make you pay for the sessions you miss.”
Okay, that’s Round One. Try not to Google! It’s too easy to Google!
