Movie Quote of the Day – Gone Baby Gone, 2007 (dir. Ben Affleck)
Patrick Kenzie: So what kind of name is Bressant?
Detective Remy Bressant: It’s the kind they give you in Lousiana.
Patrick Kenzie: Oh yeah? Thought you were from here.
Detective Remy Bressant: Well, it all depends on how you look at it. I mean, you might think that you’re more from here than me, for example. But I’ve been living here longer than you been alive. So who’s right?
Patrick Kenzie: I’ll mull it over.
Movie Quote of the Day – In weiter Ferne, so nah! (Faraway, So Close!), 1993 (dir. Wim Wenders)
Cassiel: Why . . .why can’t I be good?
Lou Reed: I swear, if I knew, I would tell you. Come on, you can do it.
Movie Quote of the Day – Foreign Correspondent, 1940 (dir. Alfred Hitchcock)
Johnny Jones: I love you, and I want to marry you.
Carol Fisher: I love you, and I want to marry you.
Johnny Jones: Well, that cuts down our love scene quite a bit, doesn’t it?
Movie Quote of the Day – Patch Adams, 1998 (dir. Tom Shadyac)
Board Doctor: What if one of your patients had died?
Patch Adams: What’s wrong with death, sir? What are we so mortally afraid of? Why can’t we treat death with a certain amount of humanity and dignity and decency and, God forbid, maybe even humor? Death is not the enemy, gentlemen. If we’re gonna fight a disease, let’s fight one of the most terrible diseases of all–indifference. Now, I’ve sat in your schools and heard people lecture on transference and professional distance. Transference is inevitable, sir. Every human being has an impact on another. Why don’t we want that in a patient/doctor relationship? That’s why I’ve listened to your teachings, and I believe they’re wrong. A doctor’s mission should be not just to prevent death but also to improve the quality of life. That’s why you treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you win, no matter what the outcome.

Missus Walters: [laughing] And you didn’t just eat one! You are two slices!
Movie Quote of the Day – Inland Empire, 2006 (dir. David Lynch)

Marilyn Levens: What a bitting wit!

Movie Quote of the Day – Merrily We Go To Hell, 1932 (dir. Dorothy Arzner)
Joan Prentice: You see, I’d rather go merrily to Hell with you than alone.
Jerry Corbett: I always said you were swell.
Joan Prentice: Perhaps you won’t think so much longer, because if being a modern husband gives you privileges, well then being a modern wife gives me privileges.
