Quotes for Today
Today's Quotes:
Movie: The Odd Couple II(1998)
Sheriff:
Okay, now explain to me one more time how the rental car caught fire and exploded.
Oscar Madison:
He called me a shithead and punched the car, it went rolling down a cliff.

Why did you punch the car?

Because the shithead threw the directions out the window and left my suitcase at the rental car agency.
Sheriff:
Why did you throw the directions out the window?

Becky Sharp:
I'll manage.

Movie: The United States of Leland(2003)
Leland:
And that's when I figured out that tears couldn't make somebody who was dead alive again. There's another thing to learn about tears, they can't make somebody who doesn't love you any more love you again. It's the same with prayers. I wonder how much of their lives people waste crying and praying to God. If you ask me, the devil makes more sense than God does. I can at least see why people would want him around. It's good to have somebody to blame for the bad stuff they do. Maybe God's there because people get scared of all the bad stuff they do. They figure that God and the Devil are always playing this game of tug-of-war game with them. And they never know which side they're gonna wind up on. I guess that tug-of-war idea explains how sometimes, even when people try to do something good, it still turns out bad.
Movie: Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, Le(2001)
Old Man at the Two Windmills:
Still, true love does exist.

Movie: Wagons East(1994)

[drunk] We leave at dawn... noon-ish.
Movie: Zardoz(1974)
[first lines]
Arthur Frayn:
I am Arthur Frayn, and I am Zardoz. I have lived 300 years, and long to die. But death is no longer possible, I am immortal. I present now my story - full of mystery and intrigue. Rich in irony, and most satirical. It is set deep within a possible future, so none of these events have yet occurred. But they may! Be warned, lest you end as I. In this tale I am a fake god by occupation, and a magician by inclination. Merlin is my hero! I am the puppet master. I manipulate many of the characters and events you will see. But I am invented too for your entertainment and amusement. And you, poor creatures, who conjured you out of the clay? Is God in showbusiness too?

Yep. I guess I do.

Bingo.
