Friday Favorites: Movie Quotes

I love movies (it's a family thing), but what I love more than anything is a perfectly placed movie quote in everyday conversation. It's a truly magical moment. My sister and I are pretty good at carrying on a conversation and half of it being movie quotes. It's just so fun.

Here are some of my favorite movie quotes. This is not a complete list. I'm sure five seconds after posting this email I will think of others. Don't worry. I will update this list as they come to me.

• (Rocky) Paulie: [talking about Adrian] You like her?
  Rocky: Sure, I like her.
  Paulie: What's the attraction?
  Rocky: I dunno... she fills gaps.
  Paulie: What's 'gaps'?
  Rocky: I dunno, she's got gaps, I got gaps, together we fill gaps.
• (Rocky) Rocky: Ah come on, Adrian, it's true. I was nobody. But that don't matter either, you know? 'Cause I was thinkin', it really don't matter if I lose this fight. It really don't matter if this guy opens my head, either. 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.
• (Peter Pan) Lost Boy (Bear): I think I had a mother once.
  Lost Boy (Racoon): What was she like?
  Lost Boy (Bear): I forget.
  Lost Boy (Fox): I had a white rat.
  Lost Boy (Bear): That's no mother! (Don't ask why this is a favorite of mine)

• ("Pride and Prejudice") Mr. Darcy: She is tolerable, I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me.
• ("Pride and Prejudice") Mr. Darcy: In vain have I struggled, it will not do. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.
• ("Pride and Prejudice") Elizabeth Bennet: Lady Catherine, in marrying your nephew, I should not consider my self as quitting that sphere. He is a gentleman, I am a gentleman's daughter. So far we are equal.
• (Much Ado About Nothing) Benedick: I would my horse had the speed of your tongue.
• (Much Ado About Nothing) Beatrice: I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.
• (Much Ado About Nothing) Beatrice: O God, that I were a man. I would eat his heart in the market-place.
• (An Ideal Husband) Lord Arthur Goring: To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
• (An Ideal Husband) Lord Arthur Goring: I am glad you have called. I am going to give you some advice.
  Laura: Oh pray, don't. One should never give a woman something that she can't wear in the evening.

This list goes on and on, but my battery is about to die so I have to stop there. Don't worry I will finish.
