Movie Quote of the Day – How To Deal, 2003 (dir. Clare Kilner)
Marion Smith: Lydia, the man of your dreams is sitting out there right now waiting to hear from you. Speak to him.
Lydia Martin: I don’t think the perfect man is gonna want to hear what I have to say.
Marion Smith: Sure he does, Sweetie. Speak to him. Go on.
Lydia Martin: I’m sorry, Mr. Perfect, but if you’re waiting for me, it’s gonna be a hell of a long wait. See, I’ve had it with men like you. I think it’s terrific that you have a great job, and you’re sensitive to the needs of others, and you jog three times a week to keep the belly at bay. But the second some silicon-breasted, butt-kissing, airhead climber half your age comes along, you can’t keep your pants zipped. Well, fuck you! That’s right, Mr. Middle-age, think-you’re-a-big-shot, phony asshole. You ain’t gettin’ any from me.

Baptiste: I love you. Garance, do you love me?

Movie Quote of the Day – Ordinary People, 1980 (dir. Robert Redford)
Jeannine: What kind of music do you like?
Conrad “Con” Jarrett: Oh, uh. . .modern jazz. I like folk rock. . .spoon on a glass.
Jeannine: Spoon on a glass? Oh, you mean, like, table spoons? Oh dear. Why do I ask dumb questions? I’m just showing off. Why is it so hard the first time you talk to somebody?
Conrad “Con” Jarrett: You make it look easy.
Jeannine: Really?
Movie Quote of the Day – Changing Lanes, 2002 (dir. Roger Mitchell)
Doyle Gipson: So, now what?
Gavin Banek: I’m going to dinner with my wife. . .her parents. And this weekend, I’m gonna go look at a boat. And then on Monday, I’m gonna come back in here and go to work. And then magically this whole incredible day just somehow. . .becomes a memory. It’s like you go to the beach. You go down to the water. It’s a little cold. You’re not sure you want to go in. There’s a pretty girl standing next to you. She doesn’t want to go in either. She sees you, and you know that if you just asked her her name, you would leave with her. Forget your life, whoever you came with, and leave the beach with her. And after that day, you remember. Not every day, every week… she comes back to you. It’s the memory of another life you could have had. Today is that girl.

Jeremy Kraft: Yeah, or walk around. This place is called City Walk. It got eight out of ten in my date book. It’s not called “City-Go-and-See-a-Movie”. Tickets are, like, ten bucks too, so. . .
