"Love means never having to say you're sorry"

"Yes. I always thought it was a ridiculous name for a prison. Sing Sing, I mean. Sounds more like it should be an opera house or something."

Unquotable here: The Last Detail - so many reminders of my Navy days.

"Reggie Lampert: Is there a Mrs. Crookshank...?
Adam Canfield: Yes.
Reggie Lampert: But you're divorced!
Adam Canfield: No...
[Regina's face drops]
Adam Canfield: [Brian/Adam gets out his wallet to show her the picture] My mother, she lives in Detriot, you'd like her, she'd like you too.
Reggie Lampert: Oh, I love you, Adam, Alex, Peter, Brian, whatever your name is, I love you! I hope we have a lot of boys and we can name them all after you!"


"Scottie: What's this doohickey?
Midge: It's a brassiere! You know about those things, you're a big boy now.
Scottie: I've never run across one like that.
Midge: It's brand new. Revolutionary up-lift: No shoulder straps, no back straps, but it does everything a brassiere should do. Works on the principle of the cantilevered bridge.
Scottie: It does?
Midge: An aircraft engineer down the peninsula designed it; he worked it out in his spare time.
Scottie: Kind of a hobby, a do-it-yourself kind of thing!"

"I coulda been a contenda."

" It begins here for me on this road. How the whole mess happened I don't know, but I know it couldn't happen again in a million years. Maybe I could of stopped it early, but once the trouble was on its way, I was just goin' with it. Mostly I remember the girl. I can't explain it - a sad chick like that, but somethin' changed in me. She got to me, but that's later anyway. This is where it begins for me right on this road."

And this thread keeps me thinking about favorite films and I try to remember them long enough to log in and get them down.

Of course I don't include the film titles, because half the fun is searching for it if you don't know it.

And then there's always:


"SHANE, come back, SHANE"

"Dear? Dear? What is your first name?"

"I never dreamed that any mere physical experience could be so stimulating! "
"Now that I've had a taste of it I don't wonder why you love boating."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"I haven't seen Berlin yet, from the ground or from the air, and I plan on doing both before the war is over."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"But... but maybe he's only a little crazy like painters or composers or... or some of those men in Washington."

All right, you go back and tell them that the New York State Supreme Court rules there's no Santa Claus. It's all over the papers. The kids read it and they don't hang up their stockings. Now what happens to all the toys that are supposed to be in those stockings? Nobody buys them. The toy manufacturers are going to like that; so they have to lay off a lot of their employees, union employees. Now you got the CIO and the AF of L against you and they're going to adore you for it and they're going to say it with votes. Oh, and the department stores are going to love you too and the Christmas card makers and the candy companies. Ho ho. Henry, you're going to be an awful popular fella. And what about the Salvation Army? Why, they got a Santa Claus on every corner, and they're taking a fortune. But you go ahead Henry, you do it your way. You go on back in there and tell them that you rule there is no Santy Claus. Go on. But if you do, remember this: you can count on getting just two votes, your own and that district attorney's out there.

"Ladies and gentlemen, either you are closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge, or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated by the presence of a pool table in your community!"

"I wanted to marry her when I saw the moonlight shining on the barrel of her father's shotgun."

"Hey, mister...? Don't you like girls?"
"Well... sure!"
"I'm a girl."
"That's fine."

"Play it, Sam"

"What's all this about no movie tonight?"
