MOVIE QUOTES
Eastern Promises
Ana: "Have you ever met a girl named Tatiana?"
Nikolai: "I meet lot of girls named Tatiana."
Ana: "She was pregnant."
Nikolai: "Ah, in that case - no, I've never heard of her."
Ana: "She died on my shift."
Nikolai: "I thought you did birth?"
Ana: "Sometimes birth and death go together. She came in with needle punches all over both arms. Probably a
prostitute, at the age of fourteen. Do you think Semyon's son knew her?"
Nikolai: [growing agitated] "I am driver. I go left, I go right, I go straight ahead - that's it."
Ana: "So you've read the diary. How can you keep doing what you're doing?"
Nikolai: "I'm just a driver."
Stepan: "Where is your boyfriend, why isn't he carving the meat?"
Ana: "I don't live with Oliver anymore; I'm staying with Mom for a little while."
Helen: "And you can stay as long as you want."
Stepan: "It's because he is black. They run off; bad blood."
Helen: [Helen and Anna are both taken back] "He was a doctor."
Ana: "What does that have to do with anything?"
Stepan: "You shouldn't mix blood, it isn't right. That's why your baby died inside of you."
Ana: "Why are you doing this, why are you helping us?"
Nikolai: "I can't become king if someone else already sits on the throne."
Ana: "My uncle has gone missing, since I told you about him translating the diary."
Nikolai: "Your uncle is fine, he is in Edinburgh, in a 5-Star Hotel. I was ordered to send
him to Heaven with a bullet in his brain... instead I gave him a first class ticket to Scotland. He is
old-school, he understands things... exile or death."
The Painted Veil
[Talking to her mother about marrying Walter] "Please, Mother. The idea that any women should marry any
Tom, Dick or Harry regardless of her own feelings is simply prehistoric."
Kitty: [about Wan Xi] "I had no idea you had so much affection for her."
Waddington: "What makes you think I do?"
Kitty: "I can see it in your eyes. I wonder what she sees in you."
Waddington: [In Chinese] "What do you see in me?"
Wan Xi: [to Waddington] "You're a good man."
Waddington: "She says I'm a good man."
Kitty: "As if a women has ever loved a man for his virtue."
Walter: I knew when I married you that you were selfish and spoiled. But I loved you. I knew you only married
me to get as far away from your mother as possible. And I hoped that one day... there'd be something more. I was
wrong. You don't have it in you."
Kitty: "If a man hasn't what's necessary to make a woman love him then it's his fault not hers."
Walter: "Either way. Tomorrow morning we are to leave for Mei-tan-fu, or I shall file my petition."
Kitty: "Walter, you can't be serious about taking me into the middle of a cholera epidemic."
Walter: "Do you think that I'm not?"
Kitty: "My God. That's what you want isn't it? Do you really think Charlie will let you do this?"
Walter: "I don't think Charlie has very much to say about it."
Kitty: "Everything you said is true. Everything. I married you even though I didn't love you. But you knew that.
Aren't you as much to blame for what's happened as I?"
Charlie Townsend: "Women are always under the impression that men love them more that they really do."
Kitty: "I wouldn't delude myself for a second that you were in love with me."
Charlie Townsend: "Now there you're wrong."
Kitty: "For God's sake, Walter, will you stop punishing me? Do you absolutely despise me?"
Walter: "No. I despise myself."
Kitty: "Why?"
Walter: "For allowing myself to love you once."
Kitty: "It's raining cats and dogs. [waits for a reply] I said it's raining cats and dogs."
Walter: Yes, I heard you."
Kitty: "You might have answered."
Walter: I suppose I'm not used to speaking unless I've something to say."
Kitty: "If people only spoke when they had something to say, the human race would soon lose the power of speech."
Kitty: "Walter, stop. I'm pregnant."
Walter: "A baby?"
[while Walter begins to look elated, Kitty looks terrified]
Walter: "You're quite certain?"
Kitty: "Yes."
Walter: "Well, that's wonderful."
[he sees the scared look on Kitty's face and the he remembers; Kitty's affair with Charlie Townsend]
Walter: "How long do you think you've been like this?"
Kitty: "Two months. Maybe longer."
Walter: [his expression becomes solemn] "Kitty. Am I the father?"
Kitty: [crying softly] "I honestly don't know. I'm sorry."
Walter: Well... It doesn't matter now, does it?"
Kitty: "No. No, it doesn't."
[Kitty throws her arms around Walter and embraces him. He in turn hugs her back]
Kitty: "I was wondering if you could tell me when the post comes through. It's for Shanghai."
Waddington: "Unfortunately, since the cholera the cowards won't venture past the river port. But leave it with me. A
local trader I know is making the trip on Friday."
[Kitty hands Waddington the letter]
Waddington: [reading the envelope] "Townsend. Charlie Townsend?"
Kitty: "Yes. He's an acquaintance of my husband. Do you know him?"
[Kitty takes the letter back and looks worried]
Waddington: "Years ago. We were both assigned to the consulate in Shanghai. Charming wife."
Kitty: "Yes. They're very popular, aren't they?"
Waddington: "He'd made a science of popularity."
Kitty: "So you know his family? "
Waddington: "Well, well enough. I like Dorothy."
Kitty: [laughs] "Yes, I understand they're quite the devoted couple."
Waddington: "Oh, he had his little flirtations."
Kitty: "Nothing serious."
Waddington: "I once heard her say that she found it most unflattering that the women who fell for her husband were so
consistently second-rate."
Kitty: [looks mortified for a moment, then laughs] "Well, enjoy the record."
Waddington: "Mrs Fane? The letter."
Kitty: "Right. Yes, it suddenly occured to me that Friday's much too late. Thanks all the same."
Walter Fane: "I'd like to press on, if you don't mind."
Kitty: "Surely my comforts are no concern to you."
Walter: "Do you like flowers?"
Kitty: "Not particularly, no. Well, I mean yes, but we don't really have them around the house. Mother says,
"Why purchase something you can grow for free?" Then, we don't really grow them either. It does seem silly really.
To put all that effort into something that's just going to die."
Walter: "Hello."
Kitty: "Hello."
Walter: "Say, I was wondering..."
Kitty: "What?"
Walter: "Sorry. I - I was wondering if you'd like to dance."
Kitty: "Why not?"
[at the Opera]
Charlie Townsend: "Are you enjoying it?"
Kitty: "I've never seen anything like it."
Charlie Townsend: "Every gesture has a meaning. See how she covers her face with the cloth? She is mourning her misfortune."
Kitty: "What happened to her?"
Charlie Townsend: "She was sold into slavery. Condemned to a life of drudgery and despair in a strange land far from home.
See the chains? They represent the heavy bondage of her poor, trapped soul from which there is no escape, and so she weeps.
She weeps for the lively, vivacious girl she once was, the lonely woman she has become... and most of all... she weeps for
the love she'll never feel, for the love she'll never give."
Kitty: "Is that really what she's saying?"
Charlie Townsend: "Actually I haven't a clue what she's on about. I don't speak Chinese."
King Kong
"Good things never last Mr. Denham."
Ann: "Is this the moving picture ship?"
Carl: "Not exactly. It's actually this one over here."
"No! I said no! That's all there is. There isn't anymore."
Carl: "Ann, I'm telling you - you're perfect. Look at you. You're the saddest girl I've ever met. You're gonna make them weep, Ann. You're gonna break their hearts."
Ann: "See, that's where you're wrong, Mr. Denham. I make people laugh, that's what I do. Good luck with your picture."
Carl: "Ann? Miss Darrow, please! I'm offering you money. Adventure, fame, the thrill of a lifetime, and a long sea voyage. You want to read a script? Jack Driscoll's turning in a draft as we speak."
Ann: "Jack Driscoll?"
Carl: "Sure, why? Wait. You know him?"
Ann: "No, not personally. I've seen his plays."
Carl: "What a writer, huh? And let me tell you, Ann. Jack Driscoll does not want just anyone starring in this picture. He said to me, "Carl, somewhere out there is a woman born to play this role." And as soon as I saw you, I knew."
Ann: "Knew what?"
Carl: "It was always going to be you.""
Ann: "Why would you do that?"
Jack Driscoll: Why would I write a play for you? Isn't it obvious?"
Ann: "Not to me."
Jack Driscoll: It's in the subtext."
Captain Englehorn: "Ma'am?"
Ann: "Ann Darrow."
Captain Englehorn: "So, you are ready for this voyage, Miss Darrow?"
Ann: "Sure."
Captain Englehorn: "Nervous?"
Ann: "Nervous? No. Why? should I be?"
Carl: "Ann, I'm not that kind of person."
Ann: "Oh really, then what kind of person are you Mr.Denham?"
Carl: "I'm someone you can trust, I'm a movie producer."
Carl: "Oh! Ann, this is... uh... Ann?"
Ann: "That's all right Mr. Denham. I know who this is. Thrilled to meet you. It's an honor to be a part of this."
[shakes hands with Mike]
Mike: [confused] Gee, thanks."
Ann: "Actually, I'm quite familiar with your work."
Mike: [very confused] Really?"
Ann: "Yes, and what I most admire is the way you've captured the voice of the common people."
Mike: [smiling now] Well, uh, that's my job."
Ann: "I'm sure you've heard this before, Mr. Driscoll, if you don't mind me saying, but, you don't look at all like your photograph."
[Jack Driscoll looks over]
Mike: [smile disappears] "I'm sorry..."
Carl: "Wait a minute, Ann."
Ann: [to Carl] "He's so much younger in person. And much better looking."
Carl: [as Jack approaches Ann from behind] "Ann, stop. Stop right there."
Ann: [to Mike again] "You see. I was just afraid that you might be one of those self-obsessed, literary types."
Mike: "I'm sorry. I'm not..."
Ann: "You know, the tweedy twerp with his nose in his book and his head up his a ... "
[Jack snaps his book shut just behind her head. She turns around]
Jack: "It's nice to meet you too, Miss Darrow."
Stay
Lila: "Henry, forgetting something?"
[Sam turns around towards Lila looking confused]
Lila: "What's the matter?"
Sam: "You just called me Henry."
Lila: "Baby, I think I know your name by now."
Sam: "Yeah, but you called me Henry."
Lila: "Sam, I know who you are. I promise."
"There's too much beauty to quit."
Ellie Parker
"I don't hate myself enough to love you."
"It is the hardest decision I've ever had to made. Apart from whether or not to have an abortion."
I Heart Huckabees
Dawn: "Oh please, I don't think of myself as being that pretty."
[Brad whispers in her ear]
Dawn: "Yes, that changed at Huckabees. You know, I was never their pretty girl."
Bernard: "Really?"
Dawn: "No! I just have to keep up with this gorgeous hottie."
Vivian: "How's the sex?"
Bernard: "How is the sex?"
Dawn: " The sex?"
Brad: "Come on, guys." [laughs] "Come on. That's private."
Dawn: "That's gross."
Vivian: "Our undercover surveillance shows it's been infrequent and short. Eight to nine minutes. Typically."
Dawn: "Surveillance? You've watched us?"
Viviane: "No, just listened."
Brad: "So your surveillance is wrong!" [laughs uncomfortably]
Dawn: "Yeah. It's quantity not quality."
Brad: "She meant quality not quantity."
Dawn: "I know, I was only joking."
Bernard: "Were you joking when you said quantity and not quality?"
Dawn: "We're private about our seven minutes of heaven!"
Brad: "It's longer than that, darling."
Dawn: "Eight minutes of heaven! It's quantity not quality!" [laughs hysterically]
Brad: "You should see her after a couple of margaritas."
Dawn: "Brad, do you love me?"
Brad: "I think so."
Dawn: "With the bonnet?"
Brad: "Ehhh..."
[emotionless] "These are the best tops around. Last time, last year - not so good."
[suddenly fervent] "But now, this is the *truth*!"
"Wake up, pretty girl, the joke is on you!"
"I'm in my tree talking to the Dixie Chicks and they're making me feel better."
"Fuckabees!"
Dawn: "There's glass between us. You can't deal with my infinite nature can you?"
Brad: "That is so not true. Wait, what does that even mean?"
We Don't Live Here Anymore
[on Hank and Terri]
Edith: "I think he want to have sex with her."
Jack: "Why?"
Edith: "Why?"
Jack: "Yeah."
Edith: "Because he likes her and she's pretty. And he hasn't had any strange p**** since that French c***."
21 Grams
"Nothing I can do is going to bring them back."
"You know what I thought when mom died? I couldn't understand how you could talk to people again, how you could
laugh... again. I couldn't understand how you could play with us. And no, no that's a lie, life does not just go on."
Cristina: "Katie could have lived. She'd be alive right now but that bastard left her there. Laying in the street. He left the three of them like animals. He didn't care. She could be here with me. That son of a bitch is walking the streets, and I can't even go into their room. I wanna kill him. I'm gonna kill Jack Jordan. I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch."
Paul: "Slow down, just slow down."
Cristina: "Slow down. Slow down. While I what, huh? While I what?"
Paul: "Take it easy."
Cristina: "Take it easy? My husband and my little girls are dead, and I'm supposed to take it fucking easy? I can't just go on with my life! I am paralyzed here! I am a fucking amputee! Do you see that? Who are you? You owe it to Michael. No, you've got his heart. You're in his house fucking his wife! And sitting in his chair! We have to kill him!"
Paul: "Not like this."
Cristina: "Then how? Tell me how! Katie died with red shoelaces on. She hated red shoelaces. And she kept asking me to get her some blue ones. And I never got her the blue ones. She was wearing those fucking red shoelaces when she was killed!"
