[Brainiac]

Armand: The world changes. We do not. Therein lies the irony that ultimately kills us. I need you to make contact with this age.

Louis: (laughs bitterly) He? Don't you see? I'm not the spirit of any age! I'm at odds with everything and always have been! I'm not even sure what I am!

Armand: (smiles) But Louis, that is the very spirit of your age. The heart of it. Your fall from grace has been the fall of a century.

(Louis is stunned.)

Louis: And the vampires of the Theatre?

Armand: Like moths around the candle of the age. Decadent, useless. They can't reflect anything. But you do. You reflect its broken heart.


- Dialogue from 'Interview With The Vampire', starring Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas and Tom Cruise.

[evakurvan]

Ooh!Good you liked it e-pitau I watched that yesterday.

It is like Waiting for Godot except in the style of TZ for TV!

You know, why do so many Hare Krishnas liked/like Star Trek but I don't know any who are like this for Twilight Zone??

[0Aran0]

So many...

Here's one -

Travis takes Wizard aside and confesses the need for some direction in his life, as he's feeling really on edge:

Wizard: Look at it this way. A man takes a job, you know? And that job - I mean, like that - That becomes what he is. You know, like - You do a thing and that's what you are. Like I've been a cabbie for thirteen years. Ten years at night. I still don't own my own cab. You know why? Because I don't want to. That must be what I want. To be on the night shift drivin' somebody else's cab. You understand? I mean, you become - You get a job, you become the job. One guy lives in Brooklyn. One guy lives in Sutton Place. You got a lawyer. Another guy's a doctor. Another guy dies. Another guy gets well. People are born, y'know? I envy you, your youth. Go on, get laid, get drunk. Do anything. You got no choice, anyway. I mean, we're all fucked. More or less, ya know.

Travis Bickle: I don't know. That's about the dumbest thing I ever heard.

Wizard: It's not Bertrand Russell. But what do you want? I'm a cabbie. What do I know? I don't even know what the f--k you're talking about.

Travis Bickle: Maybe I don't know either.

Another Scottish connection, father Herzog from that movie, almost reveals, in this dialogue, he is a Haggis-eater:

That daddy spake with such a heavy German accent, it reminded me of Arny Schwarzenegger. I had no clue he was Werner Herzog!
Now look at this colonial piece of crap board software spell checker gizmo! I write "Arny Schwarzenegger" and this dumb ding swallows it wholesale. It has Arny in his so meaningful spelling dictionary. I write "Werner Herzog" and it draws its silly red dotted line under Herzog.

Jack Nicholson to Tom Cruise in a "Few Good Men":

"Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and curse the Marines; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way."

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin not sea

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar Wright
It shows me strait a weigh

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
It rare lea ever wrong

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My Chequer toed me sew

Jack Nicholson to Tom Cruise in a "Few Good Men":

I LOVE that movie! The lines from that movie could fill up this thread wholesale.

Some of my favourite lines/ dialogues from the Godfather (e.g. "We made him an offer he can't refuse"), the rants of the mad reporter in Apocalypse Now and the opening scene (the discussion about French fries with ketchup versus with mayonnaise) in Pulp Fiction.

Another gem of a dialogue is Before Sunrise which I had heard about but actually saw only a few days ago. The entire film consists of a conversation between the two characters who meet on a train and decide on a whim to get off in Vienna and walk the streets. This film really blew me away because it captures perfectly the spirit of the early nineties, my generation. I remember very similar conversations when I was that age, the world becoming bigger and more accessible but still unknown and mysterious before the onslaught of the internet age. I remember the attitude of being sceptical about romantic love but longing so much for that special connection with another person. In the end, despite the perfect night together the boy and the girl don't exchange addresses and phone numbers because they don't want to ruin the magic by resorting to cliches and decide instead to meet again in half a year on the same spot. This was a master stroke.

At one point the girl in the film says, "I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt." This is probably the best expression of the mood of those times.

One of my favourite immortal lines; Don Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) in Godfather 3. It can apply to all sorts of things:

"Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in."

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

Rhett Butler - (Clark Gable) - Gone With The Wind

"Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
(Something I used to say more than once while living in the temple)

Dorothy - (Judy Garland) - The Wizard of OZ

"Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make."

Count Dracula – (Bela Lugosi) - Dracula

“Momma always says there's an awful lot you could tell about a person by their shoes.
Where they're going. Where they've been. I've worn lots of shoes.
I bet if I think about it real hard I could remember my first pair of shoes.
Momma said they'd take me anywhere. She said they was my magic shoes.”

Forrest Gump- (Tom Hanks) – Forrest Gump (movie)

The answer must be in the attempt." This is probably the best expression of the mood of those times.

Great quote! So many great things exits in that little space ... in between.

Oh you with your sopfisticated and overly intellectual movie dialogues without the blood, sweat and tears of a true mano a mano with ones creator.

In a taste of irony, as Arnold curses his God Crom, the sword he wields (and other artifacts throughout the movie) were designed and created by Adi Dev das, one of the original artists who worked on ISKCON's FATE museums in the 70's and early 80's, creating dioramas, and then eventually went to Hollywood as a prop maker on movies such as 'Conan the Barbarian' and 'Dune'.
