| Thursday Thirteen - 13 Movies & 13 Quotes That I Just Love |
1. Pride & Prejudice - "You have bewitched me body and soul...." If only men spoke with such romance nowadays. *sigh* :)
2. White Christmas - "I want you to get married. I want you to have nine children. And if you only spend five minutes a day with each kid, that's forty-five minutes, and I'd at least have time to go out and get a massage or something." I loved Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. For some weird reason, Danny Kaye always reminded me of my Grandpa White when he was young, but I don't think my grandpa was a goofball like Danny.
3. Gladiator - "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next." What can I say? I was on the edge of my seat the whole time at the theater.
4. Kate & Leopold - Leopold: "Are you suggesting madam that there exists a law compelling a gentleman to lay hold of canine bowel movements?" Police Officer: "I'm suggesting that you pick the poop up." I guess that it is pretty sick that we do have to pick up "canine bowel movements" when it's put in that way.
5. What About Bob? - "What if I'm looking for a bathroom, I can't find one... and my bladder explodes? "
6. The Cutting Edge - Kate: "I'm sure I don't do anything you would find exciting. I don't open beer bottles with my toes, I don't sit around and count what's left of my teeth, hey, I don't even enjoy a good tractor pull." Doug: "Life of the party, huh? Place must be crawling with guys." Kate: "As a matter of fact, I do have a boyfriend." Doug: "Well there's a rough gig. What do you do, keep him chained up in the basement?" Kate: "Hale at the moment is working in my father's London office, he's an MBA - Harvard. You may have heard of it. They do have a hockey team." Doug: "He must be very smart. I bet you look pretty good from a few thousand miles away."
7. Guarding Tess - (Tess with her FBI Agents in a grocery store.) Tess Carlisle: "It's got no price at all." Bob Hutcherson: "Yes ma'am. Uh, Doug, this is Bobby in canned goods, are you anywhere near the manager? I need a price check on Lesieur baby peas, repeat, Lesieur baby peas." Doug Chesnic: "Lesieur baby peas." Store Manager: "They're on special today, two for .59." Doug Chesnic: "They're on special today, two for .59." Bob Hutcherson: "Uh, copy that, it's two for .59." Tess Carlisle: "But I only want one." Bob Hutcherson: "Uh, roger that, Doug, but she only wants one." Doug Chesnic: "How much for just one?" Store Manager: "The same. It's a two for one thing." Doug Chesnic: "Uh, Bobby, it's a two for one thing so I suggest you go ahead and get both. "Bob Hutcherson: "Uh, copy that Doug but I believe we've lost in interest in peas, repeat, lost interest in peas. Canned goods out."
8. My Big Fat Greek Wedding - Aunt Voula: [to Ian's parents] "Now, you are family. Okay. All my life, I had a lump at the back of my neck, right here. Always, a lump. Then I started menopause and the lump got bigger from the "hormonees." It started to grow. So I go to the doctor, and he did the bio... the b... the... the bios... the... b... the "bobopsy." Inside the lump he found teeth and a spinal cord. Yes. Inside the lump was my twin."
9. Much Ado About Nothing (Shakespeare) - Beatrice: "Against my will, I am sent to bid you come into dinner." Benedick: "Fair Beatrice, thank you for your pains." Beatrice: "I took no more pains for those thanks than you take pains to thank me. If it had been painful, I would not have come." Benedick: "You take pleasure then in the message?" Beatrice: 'Yea, just so much as you may take upon a knife's point. You have no stomach, signor? Fare you well." Benedick: "Ha! 'Against my will I am sent to bid you come into dinner.' There's a double meaning in that."
10. When Harry Met Sally - Harry Burns: "You take someone to the airport, its clearly the beginning of the relationship. That's why I have never taken anyone to the airport at the beginning of a relationship." Sally Albright: "Why?" Harry Burns: "Because eventually things move on and you don't take someone to the airport and I never wanted anyone to say to me, How come you never take me to the airport anymore?" Sally Albright: "Its amazing. You look like a normal person but actually you are the angel of death."
11. What Women Want - "If you know what women want, you can rule!" (Just think about that one, guys!) :)
12. Anne Of Green Gables - Mrs. Cadbury: "Tell me what you know about yourself." Anne Shirley: "Well, it really isn't worth telling, Mrs. Cadbury... but if you let me tell you what I IMAGINE about myself you'd find it a lot more interesting."
13. You've Got Mail - Joe Fox: "The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don't know what the hell they're doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall. Decaf. Cappuccino." Kathleen Kelly: [exits] Next customer in line: "Tall decaf cappucino." |

I had more fun reading that. Great quotes! But please tell me you didn't have those all memorized. ;)

I like great dialogues, like Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men.
"You Want the Truth? You can't handle the truth!"
Let's buy white Christmas, ok, baby?

Is there a web site for dialogue? I've actually seen some of these--very unusual for a movie post.
Thanks for visiting my TT.
-
That was lots of fun. Good job.
And Norma .... You can go to IMDB.com and after searching for a movie you can look down the left side and find "memorable quotes" and find lots of dialog from the movie. Great website!

Chelle: It did take me a long time except a few of the quotes I had memorized so I didn't have to look those up.
Jeremy: Yes, let's buy White Christmas! Mom and Dad have it but I need it in our home to keep the tradition alive.
Norma: I went to IMDB.com to get the quotes I was looking for, but Jay beat me to it in telling you. :)
Jay: Thanks for the tag! But you took two of the bloggers I needed to use....can I tag just strangers??
-
No! No tagging strangers.
Don't even visit stranges!
Oh, hi! I'm Dirk_Star.
Don't tag me!

My favorite line is from Tombstone:
Curly Bill: "The name's Curly Bill, you might say I'm the founder of the feast...heh heh..so the next time we come around, you better step aside....I aint kiddin' neither."
-
That was an awesome post! I love all those movies and the quotes. Especially When Harry Met Sally. I was just thinking about that movie and how funny it was.
