A Better Life, Carlos Galindo
This country is a land of dreams. It can be a hard place, a cruel place. But it’s where I work, and I dream of a better place for my son.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, George Smiley
I want to talk about loyalty, Toby. Control recruited you, didn’t he? He found you starving in a museum in Vienna, a wanted man. He saved your life, I heard. And yet, when the time came… when it came to picking sides between him and Allenine, you didn’t hesitate. It’s understandable, perhaps, with your war [...]
My Week with Marilyn , Marilyn Monroe
Little girls shouldn’t be told how pretty they are. They should grow up knowing how much their mother loves them.
Moneyball, Billy Beane
The problem we’re trying to solve is that there are rich teams and there are poor teams. Then there’s fifty of crap, and then there’s us. It’s an unfair game. And now we’ve been gutted. We’re like organ donors for the rich. Boston’s taken our kidneys, Yankees have taken our heart. And you guys just [...]
The Help, Aibileen Clark
God says we need to love our enemies. It hard to do. But it can start by telling the truth. No one had ever asked me what it feel like to be me. Once I told the truth about that, I felt free. And I got to thinking about all the people I know. And [...]
Daredevil, Daredevil
Violence doesn’t discriminate. It hits all of us. The rich, the poor, the healthy, the sick. It comes as cold and bracing as a winter breeze off the Hudson. Until it sinks into your bones, leaving you with a chill you can’t shake. They say there’s not rest for the wicked. But what about the [...]
For Colored Girls, Juanita Sims
I couldn’t stand being sorry and colored at the same time. It’s so redundant in the modern world.
The Tree of Life, Mr. O’Brien
I wanted to be loved cause I was great, a big man. Now, I’m nothing. Look. The glory around. Trees, birds. I dishonored it all and didn’t notice the glory. A foolish man. They’re closing the plant. I was given this choice: no job or transfer to a job nobody wants.
Bridesmaids, Megan
Yeah, oh shit. Took a hard hard violent fall, kinda pin-balled down hit a lot of railings, broke a lot of shit. I’m not gonna say I survived. I’m gonna say I thrived. I met a dolphin down there and I swear to God that dolphin, looked not at me, but into my soul, looked [...]
West Side Story, Maria Nunez
Stay back!. How do you fire this gun, Chino? By pulling this little trigger? How many bullets are left, Chino? Enough for you? Or you? All of you! You all killed him! And my brother! And Riff! Not with bullets and knives! With hate! Well, I can kill now too, because now I have hate! [...]
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Legolas
One that is cursed. Long ago the men of the mountain swore an oath to the last king of Gondor, to come to his aid, to fight. But when the time came, when Gondor’s need was dire, they fled, vanishing into the darkness of the mountain. And so Isildur cursed them, never to rest until [...]
The Ice Storm, Paul Hood
To find yourself in the negative zone, as the Fantastic Four often do, means all every day assumptions are inverted. Even the invisible girl herself becomes visible and so she loses the last semblance of her power. It seems to me that everyone exists partially on a negative zone level, some people more than others. [...]
The Ice Storm, Wendy Hood
Dear Lord, thank you for this Thanksgiving holiday. And for all the material possessions we have and enjoy. And for letting us white people kill all the Indians and steal their tribal lands. And stuff ourselves like pigs, even though children in Asia are being napalmed.
Mulholland Drive, Betty Elms
Of course, I’d rather be known as a great actress than a movie star. But, you know, sometimes people end up being both.
Capote, Truman Capote
On the night of November 14th, two men broke into a quiet farmhouse in Kansas and murdered an entire family. Why did they do that? Two worlds exist in this country: the quiet conservative life and the life of those two men: the underbelly, the criminally violent. Those two worlds converged that bloody night.
Traffic, Seth Abrahams
We act like we have all the answers and we’re totally invincible, like our parents seem and their parents before them, and I’m sorry, that I have to be the one to say this, but it’s fucking bullshit. For instance I know that you jackoff to Caroline every night instead of Vanessa, who you’re supposed [...]
Boogie Nights, Amber Waves
Let’s just go and go and go, because it’s over. There’s just too many things, too many things, too many things. Too many things.
Elf, Buddy Hobbs
First we’ll make snow angels for a two hours, then we’ll go ice skating, then we’ll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse Cookiedough as fast as we can, and then we’ll snuggle.
