Casey's Movie Quotes
By Casey Knox
Sometimes the writing on a movie is so catchy that it just sticks with you..here are just a few that stick with me.
Say Anything
Lloyd Dobler : I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.________
Lloyd Dobler: I got a question. If you guys know so much about women, how come you're here at like the Gas 'n' Sip on a Saturday night completely alone drinking beers with no women anywhere?
Joe: By choice, man.
Shawshank Redemption
Red (Narrating) : Get busy living, or get busy dying . That's goddamn right!________
Red: Only guilty man in Shawshank
V for Vendetta
V: But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
[carves V into poster on wall]
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.
O Brother Where Art Thou
Pete: Wait a minute. Who elected you leader of this outfit?Ulysses Everett McGill: Well Pete, I figured it should be the one with the capacity for abstract thought. But if that ain't the consensus view, then hell, let's put it to a vote.
Pete: Suits me. I'm voting for yours truly.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well I'm voting for yours truly too.
[Everett and Pete look at Delmar for the deciding vote]
Delmar O'Donnell: Okay... I'm with you fellas.
________
Everettisms:
Believe me Delmar, woman is the most fiendish instrument of torture ever devised to bedevil the days of man.
I'll tell you what I am - I'm the damn paterfamilias! You can't marry him!
I am the only daddy you got! I'm the damn paterfamilias!
Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
Pete, it's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.
Pete, the personal rancor reflected in that remark I don't intend to dignify with comment. But I would like to address your general attitude of hopeless negativism. Consider the lilies of the goddamn field or... hell! Take at look at Delmar here as your paradigm of hope.
Well, ain't this place a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!
No thank you, Delmar. One third of a gopher would only arouse my appetite without bedding it back down.
Braveheart
Stephen: [to William Wallace] God tells me he can get me out of this mess, but he's pretty sure you're fucked.________
William Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!
Raising Arizona
H.I.: Wake up, Son.[aims gun at the clerk]H.I.: I'll be taking these Huggies and whatever cash ya got.
Ed McDonnough: [sees H.I. from the car] That son' bitch. That son of a bitch! You son of a bitch!
H.I.: Better hurry it up, I'm in dutch with the wife.
_________
Ed McDonnough: You mean you busted out of jail.
Evelle: No, ma'am. We released ourselves on our own recognizance.
Gale: What Evelle here is trying to say is that we felt that the institution no longer had anything to offer us.
Ferris Buellers Day Off
Simone: Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious._________
Ferris: Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Juno
Rollo: That ain't no Etch-A-Sketch. This is one doodle that can't be un-did, Homeskillet.__________
Mac MacGuff: Thanks for having me and my irresponsible child over your house.
___________
Juno MacGuff: I'm just gonna go ahead an nip this thing in the bud. Cuz you know, they say pregnancy often leads to, you know...[brief pause] ...infants.
