Michael (Hoffman) discussing his "overthinking roles" with agent (Pollack)

Michael: Are you saying that nobody in New York will work with me?

George: No, no, that's too limited... nobody in Hollywood wants to work with you either. I can't even send you up for a commercial. You played a tomato for 30 seconds - they went a half a day over schedule because you wouldn't sit down.

Michael: Yes - it wasn't logical.

George: YOU WERE A TOMATO. A tomato doesn't have logic. A tomato can't move.

Michael: That's what I said. So if he can't move, how's he gonna sit down, George? I was a stand-up tomato: a juicy, sexy, beefsteak tomato. Nobody does vegetables like me. I did an evening of vegetables off-Broadway. I did the best tomato, the best cucumber... I did an endive salad that knocked the critics on their ass.

'Oh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble.' Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me, I'm not gonna take this! Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Neidermeyer..."
Otter: "Dead! Bluto's right, psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now, we could fight 'em with conventional weapons, that could take years and cost millions of lives. No no no, no, in this case I think we have to go all out. I think this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on sombodies part."
Bluto: "We're just the guys to do it."
Boon: "Let's do it."
Bluto: "LET'S DO IT!"

Prof. Taub (to her class): "'It could be tonight', he thought, as he stood in the corner pretending to have a good time.

He would meet her tonight. All his young life he had dreamed of a girl like this, five foot six, silky hair, trim, nubile body."

Prof. Taub (to Walter 'Gib' Gibson): "Nubile, by the way, is spelt with a 'u'"

Prof. Taub (to her class): "Nubile body, that really knew how to move, and soft, deeply tanned skin. Now as for personality traits, she needed only one, she had to love sex, and all the time.

To arrive at this moment, he had travelled vast distances, enduring many hardships. Abject poverty, starvation, show tunes, you name it.

From across the room he saw her. She was perfect. He knew almost nothing about her, and she didn't know much more about him, it was exactly how it was supposed to be.

He brought her to his room. The lights were soft, the moment was right, and she leaned over and whispered in his ear, 'do you Love me?'
...
Thoughts raced through his mind, 'did she really want him?', 'what had he done to deserve this bounty?', 'does God exist?', 'who invented liquid soap, and why?'

'Do you Love me?'

He stared into her eyes, he knew that she really needed to hear it, but for the first time in his life he knew, these were no longer just words, and if he said it, it would be a lie.

'Do you Love me?', she whispered. 'Do you Love me?'

It would not be tonight. The answer was no."


The Sure Thing (1985)

Mark Watney: "Okay. Hello, this is Mark Watney, astronaut. I'm entering this log for the record, uh, in case I don't make it.

It is oh-six-fifty three on Sol 19 and... I'm alive... obviously. But I'm guessing that's gonna come as a surprise to my crewmates, and to NASA, and to the entire world really, so... Surprise!

I did not die on Sol 18, uh, best I can figure this length of our primary communications antenna broke off and tore through my bio-monitor, and ripped a hole in me as well. Ah, but the antenna, and the blood really, managed to seal the breach in my suit, which kept me alive, even though the crew must have thought I was dead.

I have no way to contact NASA, and even if I could it's gonna be four years until a manned mission can reach me, and I'm in a HAB designed to last thirty one days. If the oxygenator breaks I'm gonna suffocate. If the water reclaimer breaks I'll die of thirst. If the HAB breaches I'm just gonna kind of... implode. And if by some miracle none of that happens, eventually I'm gonna run out of food. So... yeah..."

Rising Sun [1993]

"It'll be alright, George. It'll work out, it always does. I'm gonna find another job. Look George, this is the way it goes. Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you're gonna be up again. But life goes on. Remember that. Money isn't real George. It doesn't matter. It only seems like it does."

Loretta : If ya have, you got all the pictures of the winner you need.

Loretta : Let's just say who should win, who deserves to win, is Amber.
Annette Atkins : Who don't you just pin a big old target on your ass?
Loretta : She's the prettiest, ya know. Best damn tapper. The most smartest.
Annette Atkins : Most smartest? Oh, that's great, you're real educated. Most smartest! Get a picture of that, most smartest!
Loretta : Most smartest...?


“My Mom gave me this 9mil for my birthday, I'll always remember what she wrote in the card. "Jesus loves winners". That's why, no matter what I do, I aim to win.”

“I chose Mount Rushmore, 'cause to live in a country where you can take an ugly old mountain and put faces on it, faces of great Americans who did so much to make our country super great, well that makes me, Rebecca Leeman, proud to be an American.”

“Maybe other people think I can't win a beauty pageant, but other people didn't think I could beat out Becky Leeman for President of the gun club either, and I did. It's just like Anthony Robins says, "I'm a winner, nobody can stop me, but me".
(The thresher she's on blows up)

Gladys: Wait, wait, wait. I think I just thought of a theme... "Proud to be an American".
Interviewer: So what was the theme of the pageant last year?
Gladys: Oh, that was "Buy American".
Interviewer: And the year before that was?
Gladys: "USA's A-OK"
Interviewer: And can you remember the theme of your favourite pageant?
Gladys: Can I? "Amer-I-Can!" People ask me where I get this, I don't know, maybe it's a gift from God, or something.
