    American Psycho
    There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.

    trainspotting,

    after renton approaches diane for the first time outside the night club

    diane

    Do you find that this approach usually works, or, let me guess, you've never tried it before. In fact, you don't normally approach girls, am I right? The truth is that you're a quiet, sensitive type, but if I'm prepared to take a chance I might just get to know the inner you: witty, adventurous, passionate, loving, loyal, a little bit crazy, a little bit bad, but, hey, don't us girls just love that?

    Apocalypse Now

    Do you smell that? It's napalm, son. Nothing else on the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Y'know, once we had a hail bomb....12 hours....and when it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of them, not one stinking dink body.

    The smell, y'know that gasoline smell, that whole hell.

    Smells like........ Victory.

    Some day this war's gonna end."

    - Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore.

    Jack Nicholson is visiting his shrink, and upon leaving, he turns to a waiting room full of patients and says, "Have you ever thought that this is as good as it gets?" (As Good As It Gets, 1997).

    Or...
    Katherine Hepburn (Queen) and Peter O'Toole (King) just finish shouting at each other at the top of their voices (because he had discovered her plot to overthrow him). He storms off, while she leans against a wall, slowly slipping to the floor to sit and turns towards the camera, in a calm voice, "Every family has it's problems." (The Lion in Winter).

    One from a song, one from a tv show. Very different themes.
    So what are you gonna do? Release the hounds? Or the bees? Or the hounds with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you?

    And for the break-up/fight with the gf, the second verse of this song spells it out for me;
    Please keep your hands down
    And stop raising your voice
    It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice
    It's a simple suggestion can you give me some time
    So just say yes or no
    Why can't you shoulder the blame
    Coz both my shoulders are heavy
    From the weight of us both
    You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
    You've not heard a single word I have said...
    Oh, my God

    "They sucked his brains out!"


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    I know you all, and will awhile uphold
    The unyoked humour of your idleness:
    Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
    Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
    To smother up his beauty from the world,
    That, when he please again to be himself,
    Being wanted, he may be more wonder'd at,
    By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
    Of vapours that did seem to strangle him.
    If all the year were playing holidays,
    To sport would be as tedious as to work;
    But when they seldom come, they wish'd for come,
    And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.
    So, when this loose behavior I throw off
    And pay the debt I never promised,
    By how much better than my word I am,
    By so much shall I falsify men's hopes;
    And like bright metal on a sullen ground,
    My reformation, glittering o'er my fault,
    Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
    Than that which hath no foil to set it off.
    I'll so offend, to make offence a skill;
    Redeeming time when men think least I will.

    And this one from fight club;
    Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see it squandered. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy **** we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't.

    Al Pacino’s Inch by Inch Speech (from Any Given Sunday)

    On this team, we fight for that inch
    On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us
    to pieces for that inch.
    We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch.
    Cause we know
    when we add up all those inches
    that’s going to make the ****ing difference
    between WINNING and LOSING
    between LIVING and DYING.

    I’ll tell you this, in any fight it is the guy who is willing to die
    who is going to win that inch.
    And I know if I am going to have any life anymore
    it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch
    because that is what LIVING is. The six inches in front of your face.

    Now I can’t make you do it. You gotta look at the guy next to you.
    Look into his eyes. Now I think you are going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. You are going to see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows when it comes down to it, you are gonna do the same thing for him.

    That’s a team, gentlemen
    and either we heal now, as a team,
    or we will die as individuals.
    That’s football guys.
    That’s all it is.
    Now, whattaya gonna do?




    A great scene from a pretty poor film.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    Snatch, the most quotable film ever (aside from the Monty Pythons):



    Brick Top: Do you know what nemesis means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... me!

    Sol: What the fuck is that?
    Vinny: This is a shotgun, Sol.
    Sol: It's a fucking anti-aircraft gun, Vincent.

    Brick Top: In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary... come again?

    Turkish: You take sugar?
    Brick Top: No thank you, Turkish, I'm sweet enough.

    Tommy: We've lost Gorgeous George.
    Brick Top: You're going to have to repeat that.
    Tommy: We've lost Gorgeous George.
    Brick Top: Well where'd you lose him? He ain't a set of fucking car keys, is he? And it ain't as if he's incon-fucking-spicuous now, is it?

    Brick Top: You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig ****, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,400 ✭✭✭stooge


    @Out Of Order :- Best did say that and his version sounds much better.


    The Departed had some great quotes:

    Mark Wahlberg's character (Dignam):
    "I'm the guy doing my job. You must be the other guy."

    "Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe go fcuk yourself."

    "You may play a tough guy for your gangster friends, but you don't get nothing past me, you lace-curtain Irish fcuking pussy!"

    "No, you don't know. Because if someone like you knew what we did, that would make us cnuts. Are you calling us cnuts?"


    Alec Baldwin's character (Ellerby):

    "I'm gonna go have a smoke right now. You want a smoke? You don't smoke, do ya, right? What are ya, one of those fitness freaks, huh? Go fcuk yourself."

    "Yes, those. I don't know what they are. You don't know what they are. Who gives afcuk?"

    "Marriage is an important part of getting ahead. It lets people know you're not a homo. A married guy seems more stable. People see the ring, they think 'at least somebody can stand the son of a bitch.' Ladies see the ring, they know immediately that you must have some cash, and your cock must work."


    "Go fcuk yourself."
    "I'm tired from fcuking your wife."
    "How is your mother?"
    "Good. She's tired from fcuking my father."

    not really a line, more of a sequence of lines:

    A ragged urchin, aimless and alone,
    Loitered about that vacancy; a bird
    Flew up to safety from his well-aimed stone:
    That girls are raped, that two boys knife a third,
    Were axioms to him, who'd never heard
    Of any world where promises were kept,
    Or one could weep because another wept.

    -WH Auden
