"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 belive that one day we'd
all be millionares, and move gods, and rock stars. But we're not. And we're slowly learning that face. And we're very,
very pissed off." (Tyler)
"All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck, I am smart, capable
and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not." (Tyler)
"The things you own end up owning you." (Tyler)
"You fuck me, then snub me. You love me, you hate me. You show me a sensitive side, then you turn into a total asshole. Is
this a pretty accurate description of our relationship, Tyler?" (Marla)
"It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything." (Tyler)
"You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive, you're not the contents
or your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all singing, all dancing crap of the world." (Tyler)
"Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic
matter as everything else." (Tyler)
"And then, something happened. I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all
hope was freedom."

Charlotte: I just don't know what I'm supposed to be.
Bob: You'll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.
"I tried taking pictures, but they were so mediocre. I guess every girl goes through a photography phase. You know, horses...taking
pictures of your feet." (Charlotte)
"Why do you have to point out how stupid everyone is all the time?" (John)
the talented mr.ripley
"Well, whatever you do, however terrible, however hurtful, it all makes sense, doesn't it, in your head? You never met anybody
that thinks they're a bad person." (Tom Ripley)
Marge: The thing with Dickie...it's like the sun shines on you, and it's glorious. And then he forgets you and it's very,
very cold.
Ripley: So I'm learning.
Marge: When you have his attention, you feel like you're the only person in the world, that's why everyone loves him so much.
reality bites
"I have to work around here and unfortunately, Troy, you are a master at the art of time suckage." (Leliana)
Vickie: Do you ever wish you were a lesbian? Don't you think it would be much easier?
Leliana: Sometimes, but I don't know. I could never go through with it. I'd star laughing or something.
Vickie: That is such a shame because I have had it with men.
"There's no point to any of this. It's just a...random lottery of a meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. So
I take pleasure in the details. You know.. a quarter-pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before
it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter becomes a cackle..and I, I sit back and smoke my Camel Lights and ride my
own melt." (Troy)
"Hello, you've reached the winter of our discontent."(Troy, on answering machine)
Troy: The only thing you have to be by the age of 23 is yourself.
Leliana: Yeah, well, I'm not sure who that is anymore.
Troy: I do. And we all love her. She breaks my heart again and again. But I love her.
Almost Famous
"The only true currency in this bankrupt world..is what you share with someone else when you're uncool." (Lester Bangs)
"I always tell the girls never take it seriously. If you never take it seriously, then you never get hurt. If you never
get hurt then you always have fun, and if you ever get lonely you can just go to the record store and visit your friends."
(Penny Lane)
"Of course I'm home. I'm always home. I'm uncool." (Lester Bangs)
Penny: You're too sweet for rock n' roll.
William: Sweet? Where do you get off? Where do you get sweet? I am dark and mysterious, and I am pissed off! I could
be very dangerous to all of you! And you should know that about me....I am THE ENEMY!
the breakfast club
Brian: I'm a fucking idiot because I can't make a lamp?
Bender No, you're a genuis because you can't make a lamp.
"How come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up, we'll all get up, IT'LL BE ANARCHY!" (Bender)
Andrew: Speak for yourself.
Bender: Do you think I'd speak for you? I don't even know your language.
"When you grow up, your heart dies." (Alison)
Claire: You're afraid that they won't take you, you don't belong, so you have to just dump all over it.
Bender: Well, it wouldn't have anything to do with you activities people being assholes now, would it?
Claire: Well, you wouldn't know, you don't even know any of us.
Bender: Well, I don't know any lepers, but I'm not going to run out and join one of their fucking clubs.
"Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place." (Bender)
Claire: What's your name?
Bender: What's yours?
Claire: Claire.
Bender: Claire?
Claire: Claire. It's a family name.
Bender: Oh, it's a fat girls name.
Claire: Oh, thank you.
Bender: You're welcome.
Claire: I'm not fat.
Bender: Well, not at present, but I can see you're really pushing maximum density. See, I'm not sure if you know this, but
there are two kinds of fat people: there's fat people who were born to be fat, and there's fat people that were once thin
but became fat....so when you look at 'em you can sorta see that thin person inside. You see, you're gonna get married, you're
gonna squeeze out a few puppies and then, uh...
Claire: So academic clubs aren't the same as other kinds of clubs.
Bender: Ah...but to dorks like him, they are. What do you guys do in your club?
Brian: Well, in physics we...we talk about physics, properties of physics.
Bender: So it's sorta social. Demented and sad, but social, right?
st.elmos fire
"Jules, y'know, this isn't real. You know what this is? It's St. Elmo's Fire. Electric flashes of light that appear in dark
sides out of nowhere. Sailors would guide entire journeys by it, but the joke was on them.....there was no fire. There wasn't
even a St. Elmo. They made it up. They made it up because they thought they needed it to keep them going when times got
tough, just like you're making up all of this. We're all going through this. It's our time at the edge." (Billy)
Kevin: Love is an illusion.
Kirby: It's the only illusion that counts, my friend.
Jules: I thought you were taking steps to phase out everything that wasn't working in your life.
Wendy: That doesn't leave much.
Kirby: I always thought we'd be friends forever.
Kevin: Yeah, well forever got a lot shorter all of a sudden.
"You know, Jules, there is the brink of insanity and then there is the abyss, which obviously you have fallen into!"
Kevin: Marraige is a concept invented by people who were lucky enough to make it to 20 without being eaten by dinasours.
Marraige is extinct.
Alec: Dinasours are extinct. Marraige is still around.

"Now I'm depressed. Now I feel like killing myself, but I'm too depressed to bother." (Mark)
"Being screwed up at a screwed up time in a screwed up place does not necessarily make you screwed up." (Mark)
"Sometimes being young is less fun than being dead." (Mark)
"Being a teenager sucks. But that's the whole point. Surviving is the whole point." (Mark)

"It was the greatest feeling I ever had. Followed abruptly by the worst feeling I've ever had." (George)
"Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down,
you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on."

Donnie Smith: I'm sick and I'm in love.
Thurston: You seem the sort of person that confuses the two.
Donnie Smith: That's right. That's the first time you've been right. I confuse the two and I don't care.
"I really do have love to give. I just don't know where to put it." (Donnie)
"I'll tell you everything, and you tell me everything, and maybe we can get through all the piss and shit and lies that kill
other people." (Claudia)
american beauty
"I don't think that there's anything worse than being ordinary." (Angela)
"It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself." (Lester)
Lester: You don't think it's kind of weird and facist?
Carolyn: Possibly, but you don't want to be unemployed.
Lester: OK, well, alright then, let's just sell our souls and work for Satan because it's more convinient that way.
Carolyn: This is a four thousand dollar sofa upholstered in Italian silk. It is not just a couch.
Lester: It's JUST a COUCH!!!
Carolyn: Are you trying to look unattractive?
Jane: Yes.
Carolyn: Well, congratulations. You have succeeded admirably.
Brad (reading LESTER'S job description): "My job requires mostly masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and, at least
once a day, retiring to the mens room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that less closely resembles hell."
You have no interest in saving yourself, do you?
Lester: Brad, I've been a whore to the telemarketing industry for 15 years. The only way I could save myself is if I start
firebombing.
Angela: Yeah? Well, at least I'm not ugly!
Ricky: Yes, you are, and you're boring and totally ordinary and you know it.
kids
Jennie: What if you can't make yourself happy?
Taxi Driver: Then I don't know. You know what you do then you forget, you block it out...If you want to be happy don't think..if
you stutter don't talk.
"When you are young and not much matters, when you find something you love, that's all you got." (Telly)
girl, interrupted
"Was I ever crazy? Maybe..or maybe life is...crazy isn't being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me amplified.
If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child forever. They were not perfect, but they
were my friends and by the 70s most of them were out living lives. Some I've seen, some never again, but there isn't a day
my heart doesn't find them." (susanna)

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."
royal tennenbaums
"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?"
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."
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.
