My Favorite Movie Quotes - Out of Time

Out of TimeThe dialogue I enjoyed the most among many from the movie 'Out of Time'.

Ann Marie Harrison (Sana Lathan) married to her abusive husband, Chris Harrison (Dean Cain) gets it going with her sympathizing high school friend - the present day Chief of Police - Mattias Lee Whitlock (Denzel).


When Chris gets suspicious, he confronts Matt and here is the dialogue from this high octane scene:

Chris: Next time that little pussy comes around...

Matt: Little pussy?

Chris: Sure. The guy scurries out the back door the second he hears my voice.

Matt: "Scurried"?

Chris: Yeah. You know, I could almost respect a man who had the balls to confront me, tell me, "Yeah, I'm banging your wife."

Matt: Maybe this.. this ..this guy,maybe there's nothing he would rather do than, you know, to tell you that you're a lousy husband and that you don't deserve Ann.
Maybe there's nothing he would rather do than to walk up to your face, look you right in the eye, and say to you, "Chris, I'm banging your wife...Good!"
Maybe, you know, maybe...maybe your wife won't let him.

Chris: I'd respect him at least.And if he did that, then I'd go up to him, look him in his eye, and I'd say - "Just come near her again...and I'll kill you."

Matt: Wow. You're talking to the wrong guy, because as a police officer...I can't let you go around threatening people's lives. If you're serious, I would be obligated to do something.

Chris: Really?

Matt: That's right.Thanks for the beer...and the conversation.

Chris: Thanks for listening.

Matt: You give Ann my best,...if you can.

My Newest Blog - http://dreamrecalls.blogspot.com/

I am a big time dreamer. Seriously…I feel like there is this guy inside me who meticulously weaves all these vivid illusions that feel so real and authentic.


If one could compile all the dreams I have had, we could make a hundred movies on almost all genres. More than just the number of dreams, it is the sense of exactness and the attention to detail given by this guy inside me.


I decided to write about it and went on to create a brand new blog devoting it entirely for some of the strangest, funniest, erotic, horrific and mostly nonsensical dreams I have had.


While setting I up I wanted to use a nice looking template. I had to spend quite some time to get that up and working. So much so that I think I should post a note on my technical blog about it.


But anyways, please do visit my new blog extension at:

My Favorite Movie Quotes - Johnny English

Movie: Johnny English

A movie that made me LMAO. Strange that a few of my friends did not like it that much.

Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) not knowing that the man standing beside him is actually Pascal Sauvage (John Malkovich), expresses his true feelings about the Frenchman.



JE:
"You know, I think I'd rather have my bottom impaled on a giant cactus than exchange pleasantries with that jumped-up Frenchman.
As far as I'm concerned, the only thing the French should host is an invasion.

Sorry, can I help?"

PS:
"Pascal Sauvage, - jumped-up Frenchman."

Also during the climax, Johnny would mistakenly conclude that the arch bishop is a fake and would display the true arch bishop’s bare ass, wide open on national television - hoping to show a tattooed message – “Jesus is coming, look busy.” After he sees the “clean bottom” –

“All right, so I was wrong about the archbishop's bottom.”

My Favorite Movie Quotes - Notting Hill

Movie: Notting Hill

William Thacker (Hugh Grant) after spilling orange juice all over Anna Scott (Julia Roberts), tries to convince her to get cleaned up at his place, one among the many funny quotes from that classic movie:



“l'm really sorry.l... l live just over the street.
l have, um, water and soap.You can get cleaned up.
...l also have a phone.l'm confident that in five minutes we could have you spick-and-span and back on the street again - ln the perfectly non-prostitute sense, obviously.”

My Favorite Movie Quotes - A Few Good Men



“…I don't want money and I don't want medals. What I want is for you to stand there in that faggoty white uniform, and with your Harvard mouth, extend me some fuckin' courtesy…
You gotta ask me nicely.”

- Colonel Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson) in reply to Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) who carelessly asks for the transfer order of Santiago.

And then again in the climax during the trial, Nicholson does a splendid delivery of dialogs:



“Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? …

… You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties; You want me on that wall! You need me on that wall!”


Perfect diction!
