~Favorite Movie Quotes ~

(”...But if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder. Your choice is simple. Join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you.”)





(”It started - for me, it started - last Thursday, in response to an urgent message from my nurse, I hurried home from a medical convention I’d been attending. At first glance, everything looked the same. It wasn’t. Something evil had taken possession of the town...”)(”Help! Wait! Stop. Stop and listen to me!...These people who’re coming after me are not human!...Look, you fools. You’re in danger. Can’t you see? They’re after you. They’re after all of us. Our wives, our children, everyone. They’re here already. YOU’RE NEXT!”)





(”It’s sad when a mother has to speak the words that condemn her own son. I couldn’t allow them to believe that I would commit murder. They’ll put him away now, as I should have, years ago. He was always bad and in the end, he intended to tell them I killed those girls and that man. As if I could do anything except just sit and stare, like one of his stuffed birds. Oh, they know I can’t even move a finger and I won’t. I’ll just sit here and be quiet, just in case they do suspect me. They’re probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I’m not even gonna swat that fly. I hope they are watching. They’ll see. They’ll see and they’ll know and they’ll say, ‘Why, she wouldn’t even harm a fly.’”)





”(”...So we formed ourselves into tight groups...the idea was, the shark comes to the nearest man and he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and screamin’. Sometimes the shark go away. Sometimes he wouldn’t go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into ya, right into your eyes. Y’know, the thing about a shark, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then - aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin’, the ocean turns red, and in spite of all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, they all come in and rip ya to pieces...”)





(”As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States...Even before I first wandered into the cabstand for an after-school job, I knew I wanted to be a part of them. It was there that I knew that I belonged. To me, it meant being somebody in a neighborhood that was full of nobodies. They weren’t like anybody else. I mean, they did whatever they wanted. They double-parked in front of a hydrant and nobody ever gave them a ticket. In the summer when they played cards all night, nobody ever called the cops”)





(”So that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in Brainerd. And for what? For a little bit of money. There’s more to life than a little money, you know. Don’t you know that? And here ya are, and it’s a beautiful day. Well, I just don’t understand it.”)





(”Look! The moonlight shows us for what we really are! We are not among the living so we cannot die, but neither are we dead! For too long I’ve been parched of thirst and unable to quench it. Too long I’ve been starving to death and haven’t died. I feel nothing. Not the wind on my face nor the spray of the sea, nor the warmth of a woman’s flesh. You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner. You’re in one!”)

Admiral NIMITZ wanted that 4th Japanese Carrier at Midway during the very week that my loving mother was getting ready to give me birth in California, Japan’s next target.

Thank you Admiral NIMITZ.

Morning GE.
Beautiful tribute to Chris Mason.
I hadn’t gotten to your post yet when I posted the links to the video’s.
I woke up kind of late and jumped right in, after reading my FReep mail form Dad of Chris Mason.

“You mean like democrats?” Not completely correct, typing from memory!

There's a funnier line in "White Christmas" where Danny Kaye mentions Democrats, and Bing Crosby responds: "In Vermont? Where would you find one?" (And I think there's a line about being run out on a rail.

My, how times have changed!

Cold here in the DC Metro area, as well. Windy, too.

(I always ask, “where in NC?)

I saw this recently and I loved this dialog at the end -

Hannibal Lecter: [in the final letter to Will] My dear Will, you must be healed by now... on the outside at least, I hope you're not too ugly. What a collection of scars you have. Never forget who gave you the best of them, and be grateful, our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real. We live in a primitive time, don't we, Will? Neither savage nor wise. Half measures of the curse of it, any rational society will either kill me or put me to some use. Do you dream much, Will? I think of you often. Your old friend, Hannibal Lector.

My favorite part of the quote is bolded. I think it really nails the time we live in.

That scene pops into my mind often, anytime the Democrats start telling us that there isn’t any proof of thing that we already know.

Good Morning To The Canteen

I have missed reading this fun thread as I have emptied the Christmas decoration closet to edit and move some boxes elsewhere and am knee deep in the wrong Holiday!
Sun is out! Have a wonderful day.

Thank You To All Who Serve Our Country

Well, the movie was Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.

"What's so funny?"
"It's not spaghetti. It's linguine."
(plate hurls across kitchen)
"Now it's garbage."

My nephew's favorite movie line is more of a word: "Butt-tocks"

You'd think after a decade or so that the humor would wear away, but no.
