Movie Quote of the Day – The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years, 1988 (dir. Penelope Spheeris)
Ozzy Osbourne: Very often I ask them what they think I would be doing if I wasn’t in rock n’ roll and I kept saying, my answer to that is “probably in prison.”
Penelope Spheeris: Why is that?
Ozzy Osbourne: I didn’t want to get a regular job. I couldn’t conform to any system. I didn’t want to get a job in a fac–I had several jobs in a factories, you know, different jobs. But rock n’ roll has this sort of outlaw-ish thing thing with it. You can do what you want to. You don’t have to get up and listen to some big fat balding old fart telling you take this box and stick it over there.

Will Darcy: I think you’ve had one too many Sea Breezes.
Kiran Bingley: I remember a very drunken night in Oxford when you recited the list. She has to be smart, speak several languages…

Kiran Bingley: No, I recall, she had to be athletic, voluptuous, of course, graceful, witty, confident…
Lalita Bakshi: I’m not surprised Mr. Darcy hasn’t found his ideal woman with a list like that. Does this mean you’re an ideal man?
