Guest notJames Report post Posted October 29, 2002 I'll add pretty much any lengthy monologue by Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally. On meeting women: You meet someone, you have the safe lunch, you decide you like each other enough to move onto dinner. You go dancing, you do the white man's overbite (insert pantomime), you go back to her place, you have sex, and the minute your finished, you know what goes through your mind? How long do I have to lie here and hold her before I can get up and go home? Is thirty seconds enough? On sex dreams: I had that dream again... where I'm making love, and the Olympic judges are watching. I'd nailed the compulsaries, so this is it, the finals. I got a 9.8 from the Canadians, a perfect 10 from the Americans, and my mother, disguised as an East German judge, gave me a 5.6. Must have been the dismount. On breaking up: Right now everything's great, everyone's happy, everyone is in love and that's wonderful! But you gotta know that sooner or later you're gonna be screaming at each other about who's gonna get this dish. This eight dollar dish will cost you a thousand dollars in phone calls to the legal firm of That's Mine, This Is Yours. Please... Jess, Marie, for your own good, put your name in your books now, before they get mixed up and you don't whose is whose. Because believe it or not, you'll go fifteen rounds over who gets this coffee table. This stupid, wagon wheel, Roy Rogers garage sale coffee table!!! On saying "I love you": I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out .I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after spending a day with you, I can still smell your perfume on your clothes. And I love that you are the last person that I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to happen as soon as possible.

Guest Kagato Otaku Report post Posted October 29, 2002 I'll second the Indianopolis scene from Jaws. And Azrael's speech near the end of Dogma - the complete one that's on the DVD - is really good.

Guest Special K Report post Posted October 29, 2002 Patrick Bateman: There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. my pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone; in fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis. My punishment continues to allude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This Confession Has Meant Nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do without freedom? Will you fight? ... Ay, fight and you may die - run and you'll live ... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance JUST ONE CHANCE to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives ... but they will never take our FREEDOM!" - Braveheart The spiel about how if Matt Damon is still working construction when he's 50 and going over to Ben Affleck's house to watch Patriots games Affleck would kick his ass. - Good Will Hunting Of course I'm biased because those are my two favorite movies...

Guest Kingpk Report post Posted October 30, 2002 A couple from Schindler's List Oskar Schindler: I could've gotten more out. I could've gotten more people if I just tried harder. I threw away so much money. You have no idea. If I just... Itzhak Stern: There are over 100 families here as a result of what you did. Oskar Schindler: I didn't do enough! Itzhak Stern: You did so much. Oskar Schindler: This car. Why did I keep the car? Amon would've bought this car. 10 people right there. This pin, 2 people, This is gold! 2 people he could've given me 2 people at least one. One person. One person who is dead. One person I could've gotten out and I didn't!! and.... [Addressing his workers at the end of the war.] Oskar Schindler: The unconditional surrender of Germany has just been announced. At midnight tonight, the war is over. Tomorrow you'll begin the process of looking for survivors of your families. In most cases...you won't find them. After six long years of murder, victims are being mourned throughout the world. We've survived. Many of you have come up to me and thanked me. Thank yourselves. Thank your fearless Stern, and others among you who worried about you and faced death at every moment. I am a member of the Nazi Party. I'm a munitions manufacturer. I'm a profiteer of slave labor. I am...a criminal. At midnight, you'll be free and I'll be hunted. I shall remain with you until five minutes after midnight, after which time--and I hope you'll forgive me--I have to flee. (to the factory's SS guards) I know you have received orders from our commandant, which he has received from his superiors, to dispose of the population of this camp. Now would be the time to do it. Here they are; they're all here. This is your opportunity. Or, you could leave, and return to your families as men instead of murderers. (The guards exit; he addresses the workers.) In memory of the countless victims among your people, I ask us to observe three minutes of silence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
