Today, some of my favorite lines from some good movies.
"Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks." --General Buck Turgidson from Dr. Strangelove
"There are two kinds of spurs, my friend. Those that come in by the door; [making the sign of the Cross] and those that come in by the window." --Tuco from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Carol: Why can't I just have a normal boyfriend?
Carol's mother: Everyone wants that, dear. It doesn't exist. --from As Good as It Gets
Prince John: Poor John. Who says poor John? Don't everybody sob at once! My God, if I went up in flames there's not a living soul who'd pee on me to put the fire out!
Prince Richard: Let's strike a flint and see. --from The Lion in Winter
"I told myself it was beneath my dignity to arrest a man for pilfering firewood. But nothing ordered by the party is beneath the dignity of any man, and the party was right: One man desperate for a bit of fuel is pathetic. Five million people desperate for fuel will destroy a city. That was the first time I ever saw my brother. But I knew him. And I knew that I would disobey the party. Perhaps it was the tie of blood between us, but I doubt it. We were only half tied anyway, and brothers will betray a brother. Indeed, as a policeman, I would say, get hold of a man's brother and you're halfway home. Nor was it admiration for a better man than me. I did admire him, but I didn't think he was a better man. Besides, I've executed better men than me with a small pistol." --General Yevgraf Zhivago, from Doctor Zhivago
"Now go home and get your f*cking shine box." --Billy Batts from the movie Good Fellas
Happy birthday, Paige!
