Captain Shakespeare: Yvaine. . .I know what you are. [beat] Have no fear, no-one on this vessel will harm you, but there are plenty who would. Your emotions give you away, Yvaine. You must learn to control them. You’ve been glowing more brightly every day and I think you know why.

Captain Shakespeare: Well, certainly not the waltz.

Movie Quote of the Day – Vertigo, 1958 (dir. Alfred Hitchcock)
Scottie: What’s this doohickey?
Midge: It’s a brassiere! You know about those things, you’re a big boy now.
Scottie: I’ve never run across one like that.
Midge: It’s brand new. Revolutionary up-lift: No shoulder straps, no back straps, but it does everything a brassiere should do. Works on the principle of the cantilevered bridge.
Scottie: It does?
Midge: An aircraft engineer down in the peninsula designed it; he worked it out in his spare time.
Scottie: Kind of a hobby, a do-it-yourself kind of thing!

Stan: It’s curiosity! Did you ever hear of that? It’s just goddamn human nature!
Harry Caul: Listen, if there’s one sure fire rule that I have learned in this business is I don’t know anything about human nature. I don’t know anything about curiosity. That’s not part of what I do.
