- "I can't tell you how much you mean to me, how
much I need you and the kids. I just wanted you to know that. You
saved me. You redeemed me from the pit. I was in it, Emily. I was
in that ultimate moment of terror that is the beginning of
life. It is nothing. Simple, hideous nothing. The final truth of
all things is that there is no final Truth. Truth is what's transitory.
It's human life that is real. I don't want to frighten you, Emily,
but what I'm trying to tell you is that that moment of terror is
a real and living horror, living and growing within me now, and the
only thing that keeps it from devouring me is you." |

our dinner...I treated myself to a taxi. I rode home through the

school. When I finally came in, Debbie was home from work. And I

leader: the man who came from the sky, the Gyro Captain. And just

of course, when my husband left. Oh, well! That's all water under
the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge. But it certainly
will be a nice little surprise when Richard comes home to find a
little girl in the house. Yes, I've always dreamed of a little girl
just like you. I mean, we already have a boy. So another one simply
would not do. Oh, no, absolutely not. A little girl would be so much
nicer. Don't you think so, Angela? Angela. Such a lovely name.
Why, I believe it means 'angel.' Why, yes. I'm sure it does. I know
you're going to like that name. Won't you, Peter?" |

start telling the truth. My wife and I - we have split up for good.
That's right. Me, the boy scout, hah, I just
never had the guts to admit the truth, that Amy and I had just stopped
loving each other. There's nobody to blame. That's just what happened.
Then, I met this woman, Joanna. She saved my life. We're together
now. I'm not sure if it's gonna work out. We don't have a, a whole
helluva lot in common, other than the fact that, that we both need
help, and each other. The
thing, you see, that scared me the most during my marriage was just
admitting that I was scared and letting Amy down. Well, I can't pretend
anymore. I was scared s--tless to come back here. I told Joanna,
and she took me in her arms and she said, 'It's OK to be scared.'
I felt stronger and freer and more like a man than I've ever felt
before in my life. Then we f--ked our brains out." |
|
(voice-over narration) "Muad'Dib had become
the hand of God, fulfilling the Fremen prophecy. Where there was
war, Muad'Dib would now bring peace. Where there was hatred, Muad'Dib

the face of Arrakis." |
|
"I LOVE THIS TOWN!" |
|
(voice-over) "Well, that's the story. So if
your air conditioner goes on the fritz or your washing machine blows
up or your video recorder conks out, before you call the repairman,
turn on all the lights, check all the closets and cupboards, look
under all the beds, 'cause you never can tell, there just might be
a gremlin in your house." |

(viewed and heard on TV screen) - "I accuse myself
of the following crimes. I have seduced Party members of both sexes.
I have been to the proletarian areas. I have deliberately contracted
syphilis to spread the disease to my wife and other Party members.
Together with other agents, I have counterfeited banknotes, wrecked
industrial machinery, polluted the water supply, and guided Eurasian
rocket bombs to targets on Airstrip One by means of coded radio signals.
I stand here, a victim of the influence of Emmanuel Goldstein, guilty
on all counts. I'm glad I was caught. I was mentally deranged. Now
I am cured. I ask only for you to accept my love of our leader. I
ask only to be shot while my mind is still clean." |

affect your decision to send him here, knowing that he is your
father? If you don't send Kyle, you can never be. God, a person could
go crazy thinking about this. I suppose I will tell you. I owe him
that. Maybe it'll help if you know that in the few hours that
we had together, we loved a lifetime's worth." |
|
- "If you could not play rock 'n' roll, what would
you do?" |
|
(voice-over) "...We have
seen the process of life take place. Maybe this is the way it happened
on Earth millions of years ago. Maybe it's something completely different.
I still don't know really what the monolith is. I think it's many
things. An embassy for an intelligence beyond ours, a shape of some
kind for something that has no shape. Your children will be born
in a world of two suns. They will never know a sky without them.
You can tell them that you remember when there was a pitch black
sky with no bright star, and people feared the night. You can tell
them when we were alone, when we couldn't point to the light and
say to ourselves: 'There
is life out there.' Someday the children of the new sun will
meet the children of the old. I think they will be our friends. You
can tell your children of the day when everyone looked up and realized
that we were only tenants of this world. We have been given a new lease
-- and a warning -- from the landlord." |
|
- "Hey, Doc. We better back up. We

Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday
in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're
crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are.
You see us as you want to see us, in the simplest terms, in the most
convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of
us is a brain..." |
|
- "All right, who done it?" |
|
- "Leave anything for us?" |
|
(voice-over) "This you know. The
years travel fast. And time after time I done the Tell. But this ain't
one body's Tell. It's the Tell of us all. And you got to listen it
and remember. 'Cause what you hears today, you gotta tell the newborn
tomorrow. I's lookin' behind us now, into history back. I sees those
of us that got the luck and started the haul for home. And I 'members
how it led us here and how we was heartful 'cause we seen what there
once was. One look, and we knewed we'd got it straight. Those what
had gone before had the knowin' and the doin' of things beyond our
reckonin' - even beyond our dreamin'. Time counts and keeps countin',
and we knows now, finding the trick of what's been and lost ain't no
easy ride. But that's our trek, we gotta travel it. And there ain't
nobody knows where it's gonna lead. Still in all, every night we does
the Tell, so that we 'member who we was and where we came from. But
most of all we 'members the man who finded us, him that came the salvage,
and we lights the city. Not just for him, but for all of them that
are still out there. 'Cause we knows there'll come a night when they
sees the distant light, and they'll be comin' home." |

friend writes this to me: 'The Masai have reported to the district
commissioner at Ngong that many times at sunrise and sunset, they
have seen lions on Finch Hatton's grave. A lion and a lioness have
gone there and stood or lain on the grave for a long time. After
you went away, the ground around the grave was leveled out into a
sort of terrace. I suppose that the level place makes a good site
for the lions. From there they have a view over the plain and the
cattle and game on it.' Denys will like that. I must remember to
tell him." |
|
(on screen dialogue) "You don't wanna get mixed
up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Dottie, a rebel." |
|
(phone conversation) |
|
"I came here tonight and I didn't know what
to expect. (Russian translation) I've
seen a lot of people hatin' me and I didn't know what to feel about
that, so I guess I didn't like you much none either. (translation) During
this fight, I seen a lot of changin', (translation) the
way youse felt about me and the way I felt about you. (translation) In
here, there were two guys killin' each other. But I guess that's
better than 20 million. (translation) What I'm tryin' to say
is, that if I can change (translation) and you can change,

|
"You just listen to the ol' Pork-Chop Express
here now and take his advice on a dark and stormy night, when the
lightning's crashin' and the thunder's roarin', and the rain's comin'
down in sheets thick as lead. Just remember what ol' Jack Burton
does when the Earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky,
and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that
big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says: 'Give me your
best shot, pal. I can take it.'" |
|
- "Jeffrey, come over here and look at this. Look." |
|
"You look beautiful.
(translating her sign language) You wanted to see me. (his
response) It was a shock, seeing you in there. I didn't know what
to do. (translating) You were scared, too. I hear that Boomerang song. (singing) 'Ooh,
my love can't catch ya.' (translating
her sign language) You've been angry since you were a little girl.
You didn't want to hurt again, so you used your anger to push me
away. You're sorry. (signing back) Well, I'm sorry for hurting
you. (her
response to him, translated) But you learned from me. You learned
that you can hurt and you won't shrivel up and blow away. (his
response to her) I
don't want to be without you, either. Do
you think that we could find a place where we can meet, not in silence
and not in sound?" (they sign that they love each other,
and then hug) |
|
- "Eddie, what are you gonna do when I kick your
ass?" |
|
- "Paul. Come with me,
Paul." |

- "If you're fixin' to do anything to us, you better
think twice. There's a Iawyer sitting in my office Iooking at your
fingerprints on my Iedgers. If he doesn't hear from us within an hour,
he'II know what to do with them." |
|
- "I'm Matt Scudder. I'm an alcoholic." |
|
- "Yup. I said it before and I'll say it
again. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around
once in a while, you could miss it." |
|
"No, no I can't. No, I can't. NO! No. No." (hysterical
crying) |
|
- "Mickey? |

(voice-over) "So, your Holiness, now your priests
are dead, and I am left alive. But, in truth, it is I who am dead, and
they who live. For, as always, your Holiness, the spirit of the dead
will survive in the memory of the living." |
|
- "How am I doing, son?" |
|
- "I want you to know somethin'. I want you
to know that there's been lots of other girls. There's been lots of women.
But I never felt anything like this before. You know, when I just hold
you in my arms, it's just the way you feel. Somethin' I didn't count
on. I never counted on loving you so much." - "You knew it would be over when one of us said stop. But you wouldn't say it. I almost waited too long. I'll send someone to get my stuff." - "Elizabeth. Elizabeth. I love you. Would you please come back by the time I count to fifty? One..." |
|
"You're the last person I thought would
ever come through for me." |
|
- "And I kept trying to push you away. But
you wouldn't give up." |
|
"I think now, looking back, we did not fight
the enemy. We fought ourselves, and the enemy was in us.
The war is over for me now, but it will always be there for the
rest of my days as I'm sure Elias will be, fighting with Barnes
for what Rhah called possession of my soul. There are times since
I have felt like a child born of those two fathers. But be that
as it may, those of us who did make it have an obligation to build
again, to teach to others what we know, and to try with what's
left of our lives to find a goodness and meaning to this life." |
|
(voice-over) "After several weeks, I found
myself talking to her after class. Her name was Pam, and I told her
I thought she had a beautiful voice, and I asked her if she ever
sang in public. I sort of had a crummy seat, but that's her in the
chorus, 8th row, 12th from the left. After
the concert I thought things over, and then somewhat
cautiously asked her if she'd like to see a movie with me on the
following weekend." |

dreams about Mary Jane Rottencrotch and the Great Homecoming F--k
Fantasy. I'm so happy that I am alive, in one piece and short. I'm
in a world of s--t, yes. But I am alive. And I am not afraid." |
|
- "Good morning, Vietnam! This is Eddie Garlick
coming to you live from AFRS... Armed Forces Radio Saigon. It's 1629
hours here in Saigon, and Airman Adrian Cronauer is going home today.
But he left a farewell message for all you guys out there still sweatin'
it out in the fields. So without further ado, here's a farewell extravaganza." |

|
(voice-over) "I never forgot that New Year's
Eve, when Aunt Bea awakened me to watch 1944 come in. And I've never
forgotten any of those people, or any of the voices we used to hear
on the radio. Although the truth is, with the passing of each New
Year's Eve, those voices do seem to grow dimmer and dimmer." |
|
"...But still I hadn't dreamt nothin' about
me and Ed, untiI the end. And this was cIoudier, 'cause it was years,
years away. But I saw an oId coupIe bein' visited by their chiIdren
and all their grandchiIdren too. The oId coupIe weren't screwed up,
and neither were their kids or their grandkids....And I don't know.
You tell me. This whoIe dream. Was it wishfuI thinkin'? Was I just
fleein' reaIity, Iike I know I'm IiabIe to do? But me and Ed, we
can be good too. And it seemed reaI. It seemed Iike us. And it seemed
Iike, well, our home. If not Arizona, then a land not too far
away, where all parents are strong and wise and capable, and all children
are happy and beloved. I don't know. Maybe it was Utah." |
|
- "How can we help you, Officer?" |
|
- "I went inside and I thought what it
was about Chris that attracted me. It wasn't the way he looked. Well,
that's not true, at first it was the way he looked. But it was how
he made me feel. He made me feel romantic, intelligent, feminine. But
it wasn't him doing that to me, it was you. All these other men, Charlie,
they've got flat, featureless faces. No character, no fire, no nose.
Charlie, you have a big nose. You have a beautiful, great, big, flesh
and bone nose. I love your nose. I love your nose, Charlie. I love
you, Charlie (pause) Well?" |

"I have of late, but wherefore I know not,
lost all of my mirth. And indeed it goes so
heavily with my disposition that
this goodly frame the earth seems
to me a sterile promontory. It's a
most excellent canopy, the air. Look
you, this brave, o'er hanging firmament.
This majestical roof fretted with golden fire. Why,
it appeareth nothing to me but
a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors. What a piece of work
is a man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! How like
an angel in apprehension, how like a God! The beauty of the world,
paragon of animals! And yet to me, what is this quintessence of
dust? Man delights not me: no, nor women neither. Nor women neither." |
|
- "Miss Murphy, what was the deciding
factor in the case?" |

"Well, looks like I'm next. Ha, ha.

(voice-over) "Oh yeah, as for Sam...well, she's a big girl. Her mother was happy when she heard Sam was safe, and I needed a secretary - like a hole in the head. But she's a nice kid, so maybe I'll let her stay around awhile. Besides, she's got a great set of tits!" | |

(voice-over) "We are all faced
throughout our lives with agonizing decisions and moral choices.
Some are on a grand scale, most of these choices are on lesser points.
But we define ourselves by the choices we have made. We are, in fact,
the sum total of our choices. Events unfold so unpredictably, so
unfairly. Human happiness does not seem to have been included in
the design of creation. It is only we, with our capacity
to love that give meaning to the indifferent universe. And yet, most
human beings seem to have the ability to keep trying and even to find
joy from simple things, like their family, their work, and from the hope
that future generations might understand more." |

(voice-over) "It's this f--king life. You never
know what's gonna happen next....That's why Nadine spiked herself
with the easy way out. And that's why Diane keeps on goin' like she
does. See, most people, they don't know how they're gonna feel from
one minute to the next, but a dope fiend has a pretty good idea.
All you gotta do is look at the labels on the little bottles. You
gotta know how to read the signs. That's what the hat on the bed
was which is why I'm not scared. I paid my debt to the hat. The
irony was f--kin' brilliant. The chicken-s--t cops were givin' me
an escort to the fattest pharmacy in town. I was still alive. Hope they can
keep me alive." |

- "You catch
a good game." |
