In an effort for you to get to know me better, I've decided to share with you some of my favorite silly things. In this and forthcoming journals I'm gonna tell you about some of the goofy things I like and hopefully you'll give me back some imput and perhaps open my mind to a few things as maybe I'll do for you. Plus this will be a lot of fun!
Since Laceyglove touched on this in her journal, I'll follow suit and begin my silly favorites motif with a list of some of my favorite lines from films/movies. I actually have a full page dedicated to this at my website which I am reopening very soon, probably after the weekend, whenst I done some cleaning/remodeling on it. I'll post the URL to my site at that time. But now, without further adieu,
My favorite lines from films/movies: (feel free to add yours, I'm sure I'm leaving out a ton of good ones)
from Say Anything - Diane Court: Nobody thinks it will work, do they? Lloyd Dobler: No. You just described every great success story.
from High Fidelity - "That other girl or other women, whatever. I was thinking that they're just fantasies you know, and they always seem really great because there's never any problems and if there are, they're cute problems like we bought each other the same christmas present or she wants to go see a movie that I've already seen you know, and then I come home and you and I have real problems and you don't even want to see the movie I want to see period. There's no lingerie and...
"I've have lingerie!"
"Yes you do, you have great lingerie but you also have the cotton underwear that's been washed a thousand times and it's hanging on the thing, and they have it too it's just that I don't have to see it because it's not in the fantasy do you understand. I'm tired of the fantasy because it doesn't really exist, and there's never really any surprises and it never really... delivers. I'm tired of it, and I'm tired of everything else for that matter, but I never seem to get tired of you."
from Moonstruck - "(in regards to marrying a stiff) Playing it safe is about the most dangerous thing a woman like you could do."
from Pulp Fiction - "Vincent: And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese?
Vincent: No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the f**k a Quarter Pounder is. Jules: Then what do they call it? Vincent: They call it a Royale with cheese.
Jules: A Royale with cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: Well, a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it le Big-Mac. Jules: Le Big-Mac. Ha ha ha ha. What do they call a Whopper? Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King. "
from When Harry Met Sally - "Harry Burns: No, no, no, I never said that... Yes, that's right, they can't be friends. Unless both of them are involved with other people, then they can... This is an amendment to the earlier rule. If the two people are in relationships, the pressure of possible involvement is lifted... That doesn't work either, because what happens then is, the person you're involved with can't understand why you need to be friends with the person you're just friends with. Like it means something is missing from the relationship and why do you have to go outside to get it? And when you say "No, no, no it's not true, nothing is missing from the relationship," the person you're involved with then accuses you of being secretly attracted to the person you're just friends with, which you probably are. I mean, come on, who the hell are we kidding, let's face it. Which brings us back to the earlier rule before the amendment, which is men and women can't be friends. "
from Princess Bride - "Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I'm not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me."
from Ferris Bueller's Day Off - "I mean really, I'm not European, I don't plan on being European, so who gives a crap if they're Socialists? They could be Facist Anarchists for all I care, it still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism, or any ism for that matter. Isms in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, 'I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me.' Good point there. After all, he was the Walrus. I could be the Walrus- I'd still have to bum rides off people."
from American Beauty - "This is me, masterbating in the shower. This will be the high point of my day. It's all downhill from here."
from Say Anything - "What I really want to do with my life, what I want to do for a living..is be with your daughter. I'm good at it."
from Sixteen Candles - "I can't believe my grandmother felt me up!"
from Empire Strikes Back - Leia: "Let go." Han listening to something: "Shh." Leia: "Let go please!" Han: "Don't get so excited." Leia: "Believe me, Captain, being held by you is quite enough to get me exited." Han: "Calm down Your Highness." (with a grin) "We haven't got time for anything else."
from Pulp Fiction - "Vincent: Want some bacon? Jules: No man, I don't eat pork. Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not? Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals. Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood. Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherf***er. Pigs sleep and root in s**t. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own feces. Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces. Jules: I don't eat dog either. Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way. Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true? Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' mother****in' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?"
from Spaceballs - "Now, Lonestar, you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb."
from Coming to America - "Sexual Chocolate!!!"
from Ferris Bueller's Day Off - "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 a good phoney fever is a deadlock, but 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."
from Heathers - "I love my dead, gay son!"
from Princess Bride - "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"
from Spaceballs - "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine."
from the Outsiders - "Let's do it for Johnny man!"
from Clerks - "You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work. Most of 'em just cheat on you"
from Big Trouble in Little China - "Wang Chi: A brave man likes the feel of nature on his face, Jack.
Egg Shen: Yeah, and a wise man has enough sense to get in out of the rain."
from Fight Club - "You buy furniture. You tell yourself, this is the last sofa I will ever need in my life. Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you."
from Say Anything - "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed... or buy anything sold or processed... or process anything sold, bought or processed... or repair anything sold, bought or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."
from As Good as it Gets - You Make me wanna be a better man
from Real Genius - "Let's just take a step back. No, I was wrong. I'm sorry. Take a step forward. Now take a step back . . . and then a step forward . . . and then a step back . . . and then we're cha-chaing".
from Taxi Driver - Listen you f***ers, you screwheads... here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the c**ts, the dogs, the filth, the s**t. Here is someone who stood up.
-and quite possibly the greatest love scene in movie history:
from Empire Strikes Back
HAN: Hey, Your Worship, I'm only trying to help.
LEIA: (still struggling) Would you please stop calling me that?
Han hears a new tone in her voice. He watches her pull on
the lever.
HAN: Sure, Leia.
LEIA: Oh, you make it so difficult sometimes.
HAN: I do, I really do. You could be a little nicer, though. (he
watches her reaction) Come on, admit it. Sometimes you think I'm all
right.
She lets go of the lever and rubs her sore hand.
LEIA: Occasionally (a little smile, haltingly) maybe...when you aren't
acting like a scoundrel.
HAN: (laughs) Scoundrel? Scoundrel? I like the sound of that.
With that, Han takes her hand and starts to massage it.
LEIA: Stop that.
HAN: Stop what?
Leia is flushes, confused.
LEIA: Stop that! My hands are dirty.
HAN: My hands are dirty, too. What are you afraid of?
LEIA: (looking right into his eyes) Afraid?
Han looks at her with a piercing look. He's never looked
more handsome, more dashing, more confident. He reaches out
slowly and takes Leia's hand again from where it is resting
on a console. He draws it toward him.
HAN: You're trembling.
LEIA: I'm not trembling.
Then with an irresistible combination of physical strength
and emotional power, the space pirate begins to draw Leia
toward him...very slowly.
HAN: You like me because I'm a scoundrel. There aren't enough
scoundrels in your life.
Leia is now very close to Han and as she speaks, her voice
becomes an excited whisper, a tone completely in opposition to
her words.
LEIA: I happen to like nice men.
HAN: I'm a nice man.
LEIA: No, you're not. You're...
He kisses her now, with slow, hot lips. He takes his time,
as though he had forever, bending her body backward. She has
never been kissed like this before, and it almost makes her
faint. When he stops, she regains her breath and tries to work
up some indignation, but finds it hard to talk.
Suddenly, Threepio appears in the doorway, speaking
excitedly.
THREEPIO: Sir, sir! I've isolated the reverse power flux coupling.
Han turns slowly, icily, from their embrace.
HAN: Thank you. Thank you very much.
THREEPIO: Oh, you're perfectly welcome, sir.
