Movies
Princess Merida Some say our destiny is tied to the land, as much a part of us as we are of it. Others say fate is woven together like a cloth, so that one's destiny intertwines with many others. It's the one thing we search for, or fight to change. Some never find it. But there are some who are led.
Princess Merida Legends are lessons. They ring with truths. Our kingdom is young; our stories are not yet legends, but in them, our bond was struck. Our clans were once enemies. But when we were threatened from the north, you joined together to defend our lands. You fought for each other. You risked everything for each other.
Princess Merida I became a sister to three new brothers. The princes. Hamish, Hubert, and Harris. Wee devils, more like. They get away with murder! I can never get away with anything!
Clear enough, Missh Moneypenny! This should preshent no shignificant problemsh!
For a vegetarian, Rents, you're a ****in' EVIL shot!
Diane Do you find that this approach usually works, or, let me guess, you've never tried it before. In fact, you don't normally approach girls, am I right? The truth is that you're a quiet, sensitive type, but if I'm prepared to take a chance I might just get to know the inner you: witty, adventurous, passionate, loving, loyal, a little bit crazy, a little bit bad, but, hey, don't us girls just love that?
Diane Hello there, Mark. What are you doing? You didn't tell me you were a thief.
Spud Hey, go easy, lady. The boy's got a habit to support.
Opium doesn't just grow on trees, you know.
It's certainly a phenomenon in all walks of life.
What do you mean?
Well, at one time, you've got it, and then you lose it, and it's gone forever. All walks of life: George Best, for example. Had it, lost it. Or David Bowie, or Lou Reed.
Lou Reed, some of his solo stuff's not bad.
No, it's not bad, but it's not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although it sounds all right, it's actually just shite.
So who else?
Charlie Nicholas, David Niven, Malcolm McLaren, Elvis Presley . . .
OK, OK, so what's the point you're trying to make?
All I'm trying to do, Mark, is help you understand that The Name of The Rose is merely a blip on an otherwise uninterrupted downward trajectory.
What about The Untouchables?
I don't rate that at all.
Despite the Academy Award?
That means **** all. It's a sympathy vote.
Right. So we all get old and then we can't hack it anymore. Is that it?
Yeah.
That's your theory?
Yeah. Beautifully **** illustrated.
Tell me, what happened to William's little maid? I never saw her again after that dinner.
Mary Maceachran Elsie?
Hmm.
Mary Maceachran She's gone.
Aw, it's a pity, really. I thought it was a good idea to have someone in the house who is actually sorry he's dead.
Could you imagine someone being hanged because of something I said?
Mary Maceachran I know. And what purpose could it possibly serve?
Mary Maceachran Nobody can stab a corpse and not know it.
Robert Parks Really? When was the last time you stabbed a corpse?
