Jake Gyllenhaal movie quotes

View Quote [reading his poem in class] A storm is coming, Frank says / A storm that will swallow the children / And I will deliver them from the kingdom of pain / I will deliver the children back to their doorsteps / And send the monsters back to the underground / I'll send them back to a place where no-one else can see them / Except for me / Because I am Donnie Darko.

With our technology, and with E.D.I.T.H., Mysterio will be the greatest hero on Earth! And then everyone will listen! Not to a boozy manchild! Not to a hormonal teenager! To me! And to my very wealthy crew.

View Quote [Homer and Miss Riley meet up]
Freida Riley: Homer, I was in the store today, and I heard some talk. Boy, it's sure hard to keep a secret in this town, isn't it? But I guess I did a pretty good job. You know, there's a rumor going around that I've been sneaking off to Welch to see some beau. I wish that rumor'd been true.
Homer Hickam Jr: Yeah.
Freida: They told me Hodgkin's can go into remission, so I might have some time.
Homer: Is there anything I can do, Miss Riley?
Freida: You can accept my apology.
Homer: For what?
Freida: My life's work is teaching. And I believed that if you boys won that science fair, got scholarships, went off and did something great with your lives, somehow my life would have counted for something. Homer. You know what? Sometimes you really can't listen to what anybody else says. You just gotta listen inside. You're not supposed to end up in those mines. You know why? 'Cause I think you made other plans. I want you to know something. I'm proud of you.
Homer: I am.
Freida: Whatever you choose.

Man: [shakes Homer's hand; in German accent] Congratulations, son. Good luck to you. [leaves as Homer walks on]
Official 3: What did he say to you?
Homer Hickam Jr: What did who say?
Official 3: Von Braun. That was Wernher von Braun. You just shook his hand! [Homer tries to look back and see von Braun, but couldn't amidst the crowd]

View Quote [Homer and Quentin try to find the lost rocket that is believed to have caused a forest fire. Homer and Quentin stop at a creek, having been unable to find the rocket]
Homer Hickam Jr: [thinks for a moment] Hey, was there a wind that day?
Quentin Wilson: Uh, I don't remember.
Homer: 'Cause if there was, the wind probably came from the west, which means that it would've pushed the rocket...[raises his hand to point in the relative direction, then looks and slowly smiles]...right there.
[Homer and Quentin see the lost rocket, AUK XII, sticking straight into the creek]
Quentin: Prodigious!

View Quote You know what they say, man. It's not the altitude, it's the attitude.
