Movie Quote of the Day – Carmen Jones, 1954 (dir. Otto Preminger)
Carmen Jones: I don’t account to no man.

Movie Quote of the Day – The Dark Corner, 1946 (dir. Henry Hathaway)
Bradford Galt: Listen, if you don’t want to lose that stardust look in your eyes, get going while the door’s still open. If you stick around here, you’ll get grafters, shysters, two-bit thugs and maybe worse, maybe me.
Movie Quote of the Day – Bullitt, 1968 (dir. Peter Yates)
Walter Chalmers: The Organization. Several murders. Could do us both a great deal of good.
Bullitt: Look, Chalmers, let’s understand each other. I don’t like you.
Walter Chalmers: Come on now, don’t be naive, Lieutenant. We both know how careers are made. Integrity is something you sell to the public.
Bullitt: You sell whatever you want, but don’t sell it here tonight.
Walter Chalmers: Frank, we must all compromise.
Bullitt: Bullshit!
