Today's Lines from Movies:

Movie: Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe(1991)


Father:
So what makes you think you can locate my 4-by-4?

Abraxas:
My box has VD, trust me.

Mother:
Your what?

Abraxas:
VD. Vibrational Detection.



Movie: Open Range(2003)


Charley Waite:
[burying Mose and Tig] Be right to say some words.


Boss Spearman:
You want to speak with the man upstairs, go on and do it. I'll stand right here and listen, hat in hand, but I ain't talking to that son or a bitch. And I'll be holding a grudge for him letting this befall a sweet kid like Mose.

Charley Waite:
Well, he sure as hell wasn't one to complain. Woke with a smile, seemed like he could keep it there all day. Kind of a man that'd say 'good morning' and mean it, whether it was or not. Tell you the truth, Lord, if there was two gentler souls in this world, I never seen 'em. Seems like old Tig wouldn't even kill birds in the end. Well, you got yourself a good man and a good dog, and I'm inclined to agree with Boss here about holding a grudge against you for it. I guess that means Amen.



Movie: Uptown Girls(2003)


Molly Gunn:
The last time I saw my mom and dad, I was eight going on nine... eight years, six months, and three days... almost as old as you are. They were going on tour and leaving me behind for the first time, because they didn't want me missing any more school, and they came to my room to say goodbye and I wouldn't open the door, so they left. I fell asleep and then the next thing I know, my nanny was waking me up in the middle of the night telling me their plane had crashed.

Lorraine Schleine:
You're lucky... that you were mad. See, when you're mad you don't miss people and if you stay mad, it's like you never knew them at all... that way you don't have to feel sucky about it... You were lucky...

Molly Gunn:
I wasn't mad, I was confused... everyone was talking, talking, talking at me and I couldn't understand a word they were saying, and then their voices became a blur and soon I couldn't even recognize their faces; they were like these blobs and they started to grow fangs and their eyes became green and I knew I had to run away. So I packed my knapsack, got on the train, and looked up at the map and decided I wanted to live on Coney Island. I thought it would be... you know... a real island. That I thought I could hide there like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Fin, but imagine my surprise... The teacups were the only ride they would let me on by myself, so I got on it and I started spinning around and 'round and 'round. But I feel like I am still there... spinning 'round and 'round and 'round... and the ride won't stop... You were right, Ray, I am scared. But you're scared too. You're scared as I am and I thought that maybe if we could go together...



Movie: Tales of Symphonia (VG)(2003)


Lloyd Irving:
Efreet! If we wake up Efreet, we'll sever the mana flow!

Raine Sage:
No, it's Sylph. How many times do I have to tell you that?

Regal Bryant:
I can see the education level in Sylvarant matches the status of the world.

Lloyd Irving:
[blushing] Uh... I guess you can say that!

Presea Combatir:
Lloyd... That was not a compliment!



Movie: One Froggy Evening(1955)


Michigan J. Frog:
[singing] Everybody do the Michigan Rag / everybody likes the Michigan Rag / every Mame and Jane and Ruth / from Weehawken to Duluth / slide, ride, glide the Michigan / stomp, romp, pomp the Michigan / jump, clump, pump the Michigan Rag / that lovin' rag.



Movie: Onegin(1999)


Evgeny Onegin:
You interpret my heart, my nature, as you wish to believe it. In truth, I have no secret longing to be saved from myself.

Movie: Half Baked(1998)

[voice over, in reference to weed] You can get this stuff at little corner stores called "bodegas." Say it with me,


["BO-DE-GAS" appears on the screen]


Thurgood Jenkins:
Bodegas. Yes, very good.



Movie: Kangaroo Jack(2003)


Louis:
[as a kangaroo] You know what, Sal? You were right about him. Chicken blood!


Sal Maggio:
Smell it on his father. Smell it on him. Chicken blood.

Kangaroo Jack:
Oy! Chicken blood!

Louis, Sal, & Kangaroo Jack:
Chicken blood! Chicken blood! Chicken blood!



Movie: The Karate Kid(1984)


Miyagi:
[Miyagi returns from fishing as Daniel is painting the house] Oh, miss spot.

Daniel:

Miyagi:

Daniel:

Miyagi:

Daniel:
So? So, you're supposed to teach and I'm supposed to learn! For 4 days I've been bustin' my ass, and haven't learned a goddamn thing!

Miyagi:
You learn plenty.

Daniel:
I learn plenty, yeah, I learned how to sand your decks maybe. I washed your car, paint your house, paint your fence. I learn plenty!

Miyagi:
Ah, not everything is as seems...

Daniel:
Oh, bullshit! I'm goin' home, man!


[Daniel turns to walk away]


Miyagi:
Daniel-san! Daniel-san!

Daniel:
What?

Miyagi:
Come here.



Movie: F/X2(1991)


Leo McCarthy:
Rollie, tell me those aren't the real medallions.

Rollie Tyler:
Yeah, I swithced 'em.

Leo McCarthy:
Rollie you dumb bastard, the mob wasn't stealing them, they were returning them, to the Vatican.

Rollie Tyler:
Nobody told me.
