I fully realize that someone who stands for what I stand for... an activist, a gay activist... makes themself a target for someone who is insecure, frightened, terrified, and disturbed themselves. It's a very real possibility you see because — in San Francisco... we have broken the dam of major prejudice in this country.

How much did 21 grams

OK, remember when Paul McCarthney wrote the song "Michelle" and then he only wrote the first part, Annie said. And then he gave that part to John Lennon, and he wrote the part that said, "I love you, I love you, I love you." And Annie said that it wouldn't have been the same song without that... and that's why the whole world cried when the Beatles broke up on April 10, 1970.

Virgil Throckmorton: Do you know a black militant by the name of Perfidia Beverly Hills?
Col. Steven J. Lockjaw: Yes, I do.
Virgil Throckmorton: And was she a member of the rebel group known as the French 75?
Col. Steven J. Lockjaw: She was.
Virgil Throckmorton: Colonel Lockjaw, did you engage in a romantic relationship with this woman?
Col. Steven J. Lockjaw: Gentlemen, I have engaged the enemy face to face in battle, and in the dark alleys and shadows of espionage. I was once raped in reverse.
Virgil Throckmorton: Raped in reverse? Could you explain how that might work for us, Colonel Lockjaw?
Col. Steven J. Lockjaw: The enemy employed deception. I was drugged, and while unconscious my brain was not working but my power was, and I believe I was taken advantage of.
Virgil Throckmorton: What kind of proof do you have? If you were unconscious, how do you know this to be true?

Sandy Irvine: A semen demon?
Col. Steven J. Lockjaw: That's correct.
