Movie Quote of the Day – Mulholland Dr., 2001 (dir. David Lynch)
Betty Elms: She’s letting me stay here while she’s working on a movie that’s being made in Canada. But I guess you already know that. Well, I couldn’t afford a place like this in a million years. . .unless, of course, I’m discovered and become a movie star. Of course, I’d rather be known as a great actress than a movie star. But, you know, sometimes people end up being both. So that is, I guess you’d say, sort of why I came here. [pause] I’m sorry. I’m just so excited to be here. I mean I just came here from Deep River, Ontario, and now I’m in this dream place. Well, you can imagine how I feel.

Marion Kerby: So this is how one starts getting a night’s rest?

Mr. Blue: Ladies and gentlemen, it might interest you to know that the City of New York has agreed to pay for your release.
[Hostages cheer]
Spanish Woman: As soon as the money gets here, will you let us go?
Mr. Blue: Soon after.
Old Man: Excuse me, sir. Would you mind telling us now how much you’re getting?
Mr. Blue: Why is that of interest to you, sir?
Old Man: Well, a person likes to know his worth.
Mr. Blue: One million dollars.
Old Man: That’s not so terrific.
Movie Quote of the Day – Fame, 1980 (dir. Alan Parker)
Hilary van Doren: You see, I was offered this place in the San Francisco Ballet. I haven’t told anyone yet, but I’m gonna take it. I don’t care what they think. I’m a good dancer. Better than good. Maybe even the best in the school. And that’s not conceit, it’s just simple honesty. If I stay in New York, everyone will think I bought my way into ABT. And I’m not starving myself for Balanchine’s City Ballet. Not that I mind doing the corps de ballet bullshit. I’d sooner do it out of town. I’ll pay my dues on the west coast, come back to New York a star. You see, I’ve always had this crazy dream of dancing all the classical roles before I’m twenty-one. I want Giselles and Coppélias coming out of my feet. And Sleeping Beauties, and the Swan. I want bravos in Stuttgart and Leningrad and Paris. Maybe even a ballet created especially for me. You see? There’s no room for a baby.
Nurse: Will this be Master Charge or American Express, honey?
