about a boy
"The thing is, a person's life is like a TV show. I was the star of the Will Show. And The Will Show wasn't an ensemble
drama. Guests came and went, but I was the regular, it came down to me and me alone. If Marcus' Mum couldn't manage her
own show, if her ratings were failing, it was sad, but that was her problem. Ultimately, the whole single mum plotline was
a bit complicated for me." (Will)
CHRISTINE: oh...no..it's just I thought you had hidden depths.
WILL: No, you've always had that wrong about me. I really am this shallow.
"In my opinion, all men are islands. And what's more, now's the time to be one. This is an island age."
"Me, I didn't mean anything. About anything, to anyone. And I knew that garunteed me a long, depression-free life."
"Once you open your door to one person, anyone can come in."
"It helps to think of the day as units of time, each unit consisting of thirty minutes. Most activities take about half an
hour. Taking a bath. Doing the crossword. Exercising. Three units. Carefully trimming my perfectly unkempt hair, two
units, easy. All in all, I had a very full life."
FIONA: I mean, he's a special--a very, very special boy and he's got a special soul, and I've wounded it.
WILL: Oh please, shut up, you're wounding my soul.
"This crying in the morning thing, this depression, lets get that fixed." (Will)
"I am an island! I am bloody Ibiza!"
"I'd be the worst possible Godfather. I'd probably drop her on her head at her christening. I'd forget all her birthdays
until she was 18. And then I'd take her out and get her drunk. And, let's face it, quite possible try and shag her."

"Well, everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book presupposes is...maybe he didn't."
RICHIE: You dropped some cigarettes.
MARGOT: Those aren't mine.
RICHIE: They just fell out of your pocket.
ELI: I wish you'd done this for me when I was a kid.
RICHIE: But you didn't have a drug problem then.
ELI: Yeah, but it would have meant a lot to me.
"Anyone want to get some cheeseburgers and hit the cemetary?"
ROYAL: I've always been considered an asshole for as long as I can remember. That's just my style. But I'd really feel bad
if I didn't think you were going to forgive me.
HENRY: I don't think you're an asshole, Royal. I just think you're kind of a son of a bitch.
ROYAL: Well, I really appreciate that.
ROYAL: Everyone's against me.
PAGODA: It's your fault, man.
ROYAL: I know, but dammit, I want this family to love me. How much money you got?
PAGODA: I don't have.
ROYAL: What you're broke?! You gotta be kidding me! How are we gonna pay for this room? Alright..I'll think of something.
when harry met sally
"Harry, you're going to have to try and find a way of not expressing every feeling that you have, every moment that you have
them." (Sally)
"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love
that you get that little crinkle in your nose when you look at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend a day with you,
i can smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at
night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize
you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." (Harry)
"You see? That's just like you, Harry. You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you." (Sally)
"The fact that you're not answering leads me to believe that: a)you're not home, b)you are home but you don't want to talk
to me or, c) you're home, desperately want to talk to me, but you're trapped under something heavy. If it's either (a) or
(c), please give me a call." (Harry)
"I am not your consolation prize, Harry." (Sally)
"It's amazing. You look like a normal person but you're actually the angel of death." (Sally)
HARRY: There are two kinds of women; high maintenence and low maitenence.
SALLY: Which one am I?
HARRY: You're the worst kind. You're high maitenance but you think you're low maitenance.
high fidelity
"Rob, I'm telling you this for your own good, that's the worst fucking sweater I've ever seen, that's a Cosby sweater. A
Cossssbbby sweater! Did Laura let you leave the house like that?"
CUSTOMER: Hi, do you have the song "i just called to say i love you"? It's for my daughter's birthday.
BARRY: Yeah, we have it.
CUSTOMER: Well, can I have it?
BARRY: No, actually, you can't.
CUSTOMER: Why not?
BARRY: God! Do you even know your daughter? There's no way she likes that song! Oops, is she in a coma?
"Rob, top five musical crimes perpetuated by Stevie wonder in the 80s and 90s? Go..sub-question--it is in fact unfair to
criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins, is it better to burn out or fade away?" (Barry)
"It would be nice to think that since I was 14, times have changed. Relationships have become more sophisticated. Females
less cruel. Skins thicker. Instincts more developed. But there seems to be an element of that afternoon in everything that's
happened to me since. All my romantic stories are scrambled versions of that first one." (Rob)
"What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some
sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of
songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable
because I listened to pop music?"(Rob)
Laura: Listen, Rob, would you have sex with me? Because I want to feel something other than this. It's either that, or I
go home and put my hand in the fire. Unless you want to stub cigarettes out on my arm.
Rob: No, I only have a few left, and I've been saving them for later.
Laura: Right. It'll have to be sex then.
Rob: Right, Right.
bridget jones' diary
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to
peices." (Bridget)
"I don't think you're an idiot at all. I mean, there are elements of the ridiculous about you. Your mother's pretty interesting.
And you really are an appalingly bad public speaker. And, um, you tend to let whatever's in your head come out of your mouth
without much consideration of the conesequences. But the thing is, um, what I'm trying to say, very inarticulately, is that,
um, in fact, despite public appearances, I like you very, very much." (Mark Darcy)
zoolander
"I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was
made out of a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he
created over the years, I don't really listen to, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about
what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give
it my best shot." (Derek)
"You think you're too cool for school but I've got a news flash for you, Walter Cronkite. You aren't."(Derek)
"Have you ever wondered if there's more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?"
"Do you understand that the world does not revolve around you and you do whatever it takes, ruin as many people's lives, so
long as you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you
leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long as you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no
matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied along the way?"
willy wonka
Sam: What is this, Wonka, some kind of funhouse?
Wonka: Why, are you having fun?
"There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there, you'll be free if you truly wish to be. If you
want to view paradise, simply look around and view it."
"So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it." (Willy)
mallrats
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned for Sega." (Brody)
T.S: Haven't you heard the phrase the customer is always right?
SHANNON: The customer is always an asshole!
SHANNON: You wanna say something?
BRODIE: Yeah, about a million things, but I can't express myself monosyllabicly enough for you to understand that.
ghost world
Rebecca: This is so bad it's almost good.
Enid: This is so bad it's gone past good and back to bad again.
Rebecca: you actually like that guy?
Enid: I don't know, I kind of like him. He's the exact opposite of everything I really hate. In a way, he's such a clueless
dork, he's almost kind of cool.
Rebecca: That guy is many things, but he's definetly not cool.
annie hall
Annie: So, you wanna go into the movie or what?
Alvy: No, I can't go into a movie thats already started, because I'm anal.
Annie: That's a polite word for what you are.
"Hey, don't knock masturbation. It's sex with someone I love." (Alvy)
"You know, I don't think I could take to a mellow eveniing because--I don't respond well to mellow. You know what I mean?
I have a tendency to--if I get too mellow, I--I ripen and then rot, you know." (Alvy)
"Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish homosexual pornographers?
I think of us that way sometimes and I live here." (Alvy)
"A relationship, I think, is like a shark. You know? It has to constantly move forward or it dies. And I think what we got
on our hands is a dead shark." (Alvy)
Annie: Well, have you ever made love high?
Alvy: Me? No. I--I--you know--If I have grass or alcohol or anything, I get unbearably wonderful. I get too--too wonderful
for words.
