“You see, Lainie, this is all we need… a couple of smokes, a cup of coffe and a little bit of conversation. You and me and five bucks.”
(Reality Bites)
“If we both pretend that there was an end, then maybe there really will be a beginning. And it will start with us, running away together. Off, off, off. Far, far, far away. And we’ll live with the lions and sleep in trees. Just sleep, that’s all we need.”
(Wild Tigers I Have Known)
“I met Wendy Peterson when I was ten. She was eleven, one grade ahead of me in school. If I wasn’t queer we would have ended up having sloppy teenage sex and getting pregnant, contributing more fucked-up unwanted kids to society. But instead, she became my soulmate. And… one true partner in crime.”
(Mysterious Skin)
“Paulie, listen to me ok, because I’m going to say this once and never, ever again. I will never love anyone the way that I love you. Never. You know that, and I know that, and I will die knowing that, ok? But it just can never… it just can never, ever, forever be. Do you understand? It just can never, ever, forever be.”
(Lost and Delirious)
“Everything in this room is eatable, even I’m eatable! But that is called ‘cannibalism’, my dear children.”
(Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
“Why did you tell me to come this way, Grizelda? You know I hate nature! Look at those disgusting trees, stealing my oxygen. Oh, I can’t stand this scenery another minute. All natural forests should be turned into housing developments! I want cement covering every blade of grass in this nation. Don’t we taxpayers have a voice anymore?”
(Desperate Living)
“That is where corn chips come from. Maybe old Professor Hardwood is on to something. He probably really loves corn. And all corn-related products. I mean, isn’t that what you’re supposed to put in a frame? Things you love? I’m gonna do that. When I get home, I’m gonna frame a bunch of stuff I love. Like lasagna. I love lasagna. It’s so good. And cheesy. You know who else loves lasagna? Garfield. Man, that cat really loves lasagna. Maybe I should put a picture of Garfield in a frame. You know, as a kind of shorthand way of saying ‘I love lasagna.’ That would be so fucking inside! Or how about a photo of President Garfield? Oh shit, that would be totally meta! People would be all like: ‘Jane, why do you have a photo of President Garfield on your mantle?’ And I’d be like: Because I like lasagna, of course.”
(Smiley Face)
Dear diary, what a day. I swear I’ve never been so depressed, miserable, and lonely in my entire life. It’s like I know there’s got to be somebody out there somewhere… just one person in this huge, horrible, unhappy universe who can hold me in their arms and tell me everything is going to be okay. And how long do I have to wait before that person shows up. I feel like I’m sinking deeper and deeper into quicksand… watching everyone around me die a slow, agonizing, death. It’s like we all know way down in our souls that our generation is going to witness the end of everything. You can see it in our eyes. It’s in mine, look. I’m doomed. I’m only 18 years-old and I’m totally doomed.
(Nowhere)
“I do believe Marsellus Wallace, my husband, your boss, told you to take ME out and do WHATEVER I WANTED. Now I wanna dance, I wanna win. I want that trophy, so dance good.”
(Pulp Fiction)
“Well, I’ve flown seven million miles. And I’ve been waiting on people almost 20 years. The best job I could get after my bust was Cabo Air, which is the worst job you can get in this industry. I make about sixteen thousand, with retirement benefits that ain’t worth a damn. And now with this arrest hanging over my head, I’m scared. If I lose my job I gotta start all over again, but I got nothing to start over with. I’ll be stuck with whatever I can get. And that shit is scarier than Ordell.”
(Jackie Brown)
