Juno MacGuff: You should’ve gone to China, you know, ’cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.

Great Movie Quotes: Monster
November 29, 2007
Aileen: “All you need is love and to believe in yourself.” [scoffs]
Aileen: Nice idea. It doesn’t exactly work out that way. But I guess it was better to hear a flat-out lie than to know the truth at 13.
Great Movie Quotes: Grandma’s Boy
October 5, 2007

Dante: Whoa, I don’t know, man. I got a business to run. This is like my office as well as my home. Plus, the lion comes in a couple days.
Alex: You’re getting a lion?
Dante: Yeah.
Alex: Why?
Dante: To protect my shit.
Alex: Never heard of a dog?

Alex: Yeah, that’s true.
Great Movie Quotes: Little Miss Sunshine
August 22, 2007
Dwayne: I wish I could just sleep until I was eighteen and skip all this crap-high school and everything-just skip it.
Frank: You know Marcel Proust?
Dwayne: He’s the guy you teach.
Frank: Yeah. French writer. Total loser. Never had a real job. Unrequited love affairs. Gay. Spent 20 years writing a book almost no one reads. But he’s also probably the greatest writer since Shakespeare. Anyway, he uh… he gets down to the end of his life, and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, Those were the best years of his life, ’cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn’t learn a thing. So, if you sleep until you’re 18… Ah, think of the suffering you’re gonna miss. I mean high school? High school-those are your prime suffering years. You don’t get better suffering than that.
Great TV Quotes: Deadwood
August 16, 2007

July 31, 2007
Ordell Robbie: Damn girl, you gettin’ high already? It’s only 2 o’clock in the afternoon. I get my shit done for the day, then I get high. And besides, getting high and watching TV will rob you of your ambition!

Great Movie Quotes: Magnolia
July 10, 2007
Quiz Kid Donnie Smith: I’m sick and I’m in love.

Great Movie Quotes: Transformers
June 20, 2007
The live-action Transformers movie will be released in exactly two weeks. The “great movie quote” for today will take us back to 1986, and the original animated Transformers movie…
[before their battle]
Megatron: [surprised] Prime.
Optimus Prime: One shall stand, one shall fall.
Megatron: Why throw away your life so recklessly?
Optimus Prime: That’s a question you should ask YOURSELF, Megatron.
That quote comes from what is one of my favorite scenes in the movie. It preludes the final battle between the leader of the autobots (good guys) and the leader of the decepticons (bad guys). This battle was years in the making, and ended with my #1 childhood hero being killed. Probably the first time in my life where I really understood how much it hurts when someone you care about dies (I was barely even 5 years old when I saw this movie, so to me, this was a pretty upsetting event).
I cannot wait for July 4th.

Great Movie Quotes: Sideways
June 13, 2007
Miles Raymond: [while tasting wine] It tastes like the back of a f*cking L.A. school bus. Now they probably didn’t de-stem, hoping for some semblance of concentration, crushed it up with leaves and mice, and then wound up with this rancid tar and turpentine bullshit. F*ckin’ Raid.
Jack: Tastes pretty good to me.
Great Movie Quotes: Desperado
June 7, 2007
Short Bartender: What do you want?
Buscemi: Beer
Short Bartender: All I got is piss-warm chango.
Buscemi: That’s my brand. Oh, this is damn good! Say, this is the best beer I’ve ever had. Actually, I’m just glad to be alive right now. I was up a few towns away… you know Saragosa? I was visiting a bar there, not unlike this one. They serve beer… not quite as good as this, but close. And I saw something you wouldn’t believe. I’m sitting there see, small table all by myself at this bar. It’s full of real low-lives. I mean, not like this place here. No, I mean bad. Like they were up to no good. Anyway, I’m by myself… I like it that way. Meanwhile, things are going on… under the table kinds of things. Not too obvious but, not too secret either. So, I’m sitting there. And in walks the biggest Mexican I have ever seen. Big as shit. Just walks right in like he owns the place. And nobody knew quite what to make of him… or quite what to think. There he was and in he walked. He was dark too. I don’t mean dark-skinned. No, this was different. It was if he was always walking in a shadow. I mean every step he took toward the light, just when you thought his face was about to be revealed… it wasn’t. It was as if the lights dimmed, just for him.
Great Quotes: Entourage
May 31, 2007
Turtle: This is where you should be living, Vince. In a kingdom, like a prince.
Eric: Don’t you mean in a kingdom like a king, you idiot?
Vince: Nah, E. Everyone wants to kill the king. But the prince, he just sails along telling all the ladies, “One day I’m gonna be king.”
Great Movie Quotes: Scarface
May 27, 2007
Tony Montana: “What you lookin’ at? You all a bunch of f*ckin’ assholes. You know why? You don’t have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your f*ckin’ fingers and say, “That’s the bad guy.” So… what that make you? Good? You’re not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don’t have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There’s a bad guy comin’ through! Better get outta his way!”
Great Movie Quotes: Jerry Maguire
May 24, 2007
Jerry Maguire: “I will not rest until I have you holding a Coke, wearing your own shoe, playing a Sega game featuring you, while singing your own song in a new commercial, starring you, broadcast during the Superbowl, in a game that you are winning, and I will not sleep until that happens. I’ll give you fifteen minutes to call me back.”
Great Movie Quotes: Memento
May 23, 2007
Leonard Shelby: “I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning, even if I can’t remember them. I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world’s still there. Do I believe the world’s still there? Is it still out there?… Yeah. We all need mirrors to remind ourselves who we are. I’m no different.”
Great Movie Quotes: Reservoir Dogs
May 17, 2007
Mr. Blonde: Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?
Mr. White: What was that? I’m sorry, I didn’t catch it. Would you repeat it?
Mr. Blonde: Are you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?
Great Movie Quotes: Se7en
May 16, 2007
David Mills: Wait, I thought all you did was kill innocent people.
John Doe: Innocent? Is that supposed to be funny? An obese man… a disgusting man who could barely stand up; a man who if you saw him on the street, you’d point him out to your friends so that they could join you in mocking him; a man, who if you saw him while you were eating, you wouldn’t be able to finish your meal. After him, I picked the lawyer and I know you both must have been secretly thanking me for that one. This is a man who dedicated his life to making money by lying with every breath that he could muster to keeping murderers and rapists on the streets!
David Mills: Murderers?
John Doe: A woman…
David Mills: Murderers, John, like yourself?
John Doe: [interrupts] A woman… so ugly on the inside she couldn’t bear to go on living if she couldn’t be beautiful on the outside. A drug dealer, a drug dealing pederast, actually! And let’s not forget the disease-spreading whore! Only in a world this shitty could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face. But that’s the point. We see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. We tolerate it because it’s common, it’s trivial. We tolerate it morning, noon, and night. Well, not anymore. I’m setting the example. What I’ve done is going to be puzzled over and studied and followed… forever.
Great Movie Quotes: Any Given Sunday
May 11, 2007
Tony D’Amato: “You find out life’s this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game – life or football – the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that’s gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!”
Great Movie Quotes: Little Miss Sunshine
May 10, 2007
Olive: Grandpa, am I pretty?
Grandpa: You are the most beautiful girl in the world.
Olive: You’re just saying that.
Grandpa: No! I’m madly in love with you and it’s not because of your brains or your personality.
Great Movie Quotes: Garden State
May 9, 2007
Andrew Largeman: You know, this necklace makes me think of this totally random memory of my mother. I was a little kid, and I was crying for one reason or another. And she was cradling me, rocking me back and forth, and I can just remember the silver balls rolling around. And there was like snot running down my nose. And she offered me her sleeve and told me to blow my nose into it. And I can remember, even as a little kid, thinking to myself, this is love… this is love.
