A great movie. Like the 'comic book version of Buddhism'. And it works for Phil and you can see how it might work for you too. Keep doing things until you get it right. You have all the time in the world. Another aspect I like is how Bill Murray does such a good job at being a 'bad actor' when he's trying to land Rita. After the first snowball fight went well - trying to 'recreate' it doesn't go so well and he's rushing it ;-) Same with the 'dinner scene' where she says she studied French Literature...
And another favorite:
Rita: Is this some kind of trick?
Phil: Well maybe the *real* God uses tricks, you know? Maybe he's not omnipotent. He's just been around so long he knows everything.
And it was well cast too. Chris Elliot as 'Larry' - and his line when Phl and Phil go into the quarry in the truck - something like: He may be ok. (explosion) Well, no ...probably not now. lol
"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. "
"I'll have what she's having"
"Did you get me my Cheez Wiz, boy? "
"I'll have what she's having"
"Did you get me my Cheez Wiz, boy? "
I dunno... I kinda like the guessing game.
Needful Things! I've also read the book, good stuff!
This one's going to be long and it's a TV quote rather than a movie, but it really made an impression on me when I heard it:
"I remember once hearin' a speech about what it meant to be an officer of the CIA and the man who gave this speech talked about the struggle to control civilization and how we're always fightin' the same fight, and he used the dark ages as an example. And he talked about how on the one side you had the pragmatic king who was greedy and power hungry and basically took advantage of people whenever he could. And on the other side you had the idealistic church forcin' everyone to follow the same rules, believe the same thing, and all that. Neither the king nor the church was ever completely right or wrong, both sides ended up doin' terrible things to get what they wanted, really terrible things. The point of the story was this, that this struggle from the dark ages had been goin' on forever, and the church and the king might take on different philosophies but they would always fight each other, pragmatists and idealists, and at most times, you're better off standin' on the sidelines, lettin' them duke it out. But every once in a while, one side or the other decides it might be better just to blow up the whole world just to get its own way and when that happens you can't stand on the sidelines any more. You have to pick a team. So for tonight anyway, we're servin' the king."
"God: What are you doing now?
King Arthur: Averting our eyes, oh Lord.
God: Well, don’t. It’s just like those miserable psalms, always so depressing."
"The only true currency in this bankrupt world… is what you share with someone else when you’re uncool."

Everyone knows this one.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

I love Taken, 2008.... Favorite Quote....
I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

I picked up a Kaiser blade that was sitting by the door. Some folks called it a sling blade. I called it a Kaiser blade. It's got a long, wood handle, kind of like an ax handle... with a long blade shaped like a banana. Uh huh. Sharp on one edge and dull on the other. It's what the highway boys use to cut down weeds and whatnot. Yeah.
Alright then.
Anyone ever see Billy Bob go through 'the transformation' on a talk show? Amazing.

House: (about autistic child, Adam) Why would you feel sorry for someone who gets to opt out of the inane courteous formalities which are utterly meaningless, insincere, and therefore degrading. This kid doesn't have to pretend to be interested in your back pain, or your excretions, or your grandma's itchy place. Can you imagine how liberating it would be to live a life free of all the mind-numbing social niceties? I don't pity this kid. I envy him.
Rebecca: Am I ever gonna meet Dr. House?
Dr. Wilson: Well, you might run into him at the movies or on the bus.
Rebecca: Is he a good man?
Dr. Wilson: He's a good doctor.
Rebecca: Can you be one without the other? Don't you have to care about people?
Dr. Wilson: Caring is a good motivator. He's found something else.
Rebecca: (about House) He's your friend, huh?
Dr. Wilson: Yeah.
Rebecca: Does he care about you?
Dr. Wilson: I think so.
Rebecca: You don't know?
Dr. Wilson: As Dr. House likes to say, "Everybody lies."
Rebecca: It's not what people say. It's what they do.
Dr. Wilson: (pause) Yeah. He cares about me.
I have about 100 of these on Word - hand picked ;-)

The Worm: 'Allo.
Sarah: Did you say... hello?
The Worm: No, I said "'allo," but that's close enough.
Sarah: Oh... you're a worm, aren't you?
The Worm: Yeah, that's right.
Sarah: You don't by any chance know the way through this labyrinth, do you?
The Worm: Who, me? No, I'm just a worm. Say, come inside, and meet the missus.
