 Movie/TV title: Wilde (1997)
Character name: Lord Alfred Douglas
Quote(s): No gentleman ever has the slightest idea of what his bank balance is.
Lord Alfred Douglas: There are two boys waiting out there, and if you're not coming I'll fuck them both myself! I'll take them to the Grand and fuck them in front of the whole fucking hotel and I'll send you the bill!
(In the prison)
Lord Alfred Douglas: Oscar, you must let me in the witness box! If the jury can only hear what I have to say...
Oscar Wilde: Bosie, darling boy, as soon as they see you in all your golden youth and me in all my corruption...
Lord Alfred Douglas: You didn't corrupt me! I corrupted you, if anything!
Oscar Wilde: That's not how it will seem.
Lord Alfred Douglas: But I must have my say! It's outrageous! Everyone else has said everything, anything that came into his head! I'm the person all this is about! It's me my father wants to get at, not you! It's outrageous that I can't have my say! |  Movie/TV title: Gattaca (1997)
Character name: Jerome
Quote(s): If at first you don't succeed... try, try again.
Jerome: I got the better end of the deal. I only lent you my body - you lent me your dream.
Vincent: I can't go anywhere without seeing my own face. They'll recognize me.
Jerome: They won't recognize you.
Vincent: They'll recognize me.
Jerome: I don't recognize you.
Vincent: How the hell did you get up here?
Jerome: Oh, I could always walk... I've been faking it. |  Movie/TV title: The Wisdom of Crocodiles (1998)
Character name: Steven Grlscz
Quote(s): My breath smells like pear drops. Acetone. Acetone is what the body produces when it eats itself.
Steven Grlscz: When I was a boy, I went into the forest and climbed to the top of the tallest tree. Near the top, I slipped, and managed to just grab a branch. It was a long drop. I hung there until the blood in my head pounded in my ears. I can't remember much, but I remember the fear of falling.
Steven Grlscz: I haven't confessed to any of the two murders, but I have admited to acting badly twice.
Steven Grlscz: Don't be afraid. I'll move back overe here. I'll open the doors. I'm going to die. Two weeks, maybe three. My body is breaking down. I bleed. I don't heal anymore. I need blood. I need the love that's in your blood. What you're feeling about me right now. In your throat, in your chest, in your blood. Like something you can touch. Remember the crystals? Rage, resentment, malice, disappointment, despair. Emotions. Emotions are things. Your blood carries every emotion possible to feel. |  Movie/TV title: The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
Character name: Dickie Greenleaf
Quote(s): "See Venice and die," is what they say? Or is it Rome?
Dickie Greenleaf: Everybody should have one talent, what's yours?
Tom Ripley: Telling lies, forging signatures and impersonating almost anybody.
Dickie Greenleaf: I could fuck this ice box, I love it so much.
Marge Sherwood: Tom was telling me about his journey over. Made me laugh so hard I almost got a nosebleed.
Dickie Greenleaf: Is that good?
Marge Sherwood: Shut up.
Dickie Greenleaf: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm despicable. But I love you. Do you love me? |  Movie/TV title: Enemy at the Gates (2001)
Character name: Vassili Zaitsev
Quote(s): All these men here know they're going to die. So, each night when they make it back, it's a bonus. So, every cup of tea, every cigarette is like a little celebration. You just have to accept that.
Danilov: Tomorrow morning, Stalin himself will be sitting over breakfast, reading my words, memorizing your name. We're famous, Vassili. Khrushchev loved the article. He's promoted me to the General Staff, and you - to sniper division.
Vassili Zaitsev: Well, that's good.
Danilov: It's VERY good.
Vassili Zaitsev: It's very good. It's great.
Danilov: It's VERY great!
Vassili Zaitsev: It's great!
Danilov: It's great!
Vassili Zaitsev: It's great!
Danilov: For BOTH of us, because we did it together.
Danilov: Where have you been? We've been looking all over for you.
Vassili Zaitsev: Oh, did you hear? I was dead. At least, Noble Sniper Zeitsev, Vassili was dead. |  Movie/TV title: Artificial Inteligence: AI (2001)
Character name: Gigolo Joe
Quote(s): When you become a real boy, remember me to the ladies when you grow up.
Gigolo Joe: Miss Bevins, it's Joe, at your service. I've been counting the seconds since last we met. Have you been crying, Samantha? I found a tear.
The Murderer: Hey Joe, what do you know? How many seconds has it been since the last time you two were together?
Gigolo Joe: 255,133.
The Murderer: Goodbye, Sam, and never forget: you killed me first.
Gigolo Joe: I'm in bad trouble.
Gigolo Joe: There are girls your age that are just like me. We are the guiltless pleasures of the lonely human being. You won't get us pregnant or have us to supper with mommy and daddy. We work under you, we work on you and we work for you. Man made us better at what we do than was ever humanly possible. |  Movie/TV title: Road to Perdition (2002)
Character name: Harlen Maguire
Quote(s): Smile.
Michael Sullivan: Is that, uh... your profession or... your pleasure?
Harlen Maguire: Both, I guess. To be paid to do what you love... ain't that the dream?
Harlen Maguire: I shoot the dead. Dead bodies, that is. I don't kill them.
Harlen Maguire: I'm something of a rarity. |  Movie/TV title: Cold Mountain (2003)
Character name: Inman
Quote(s): I ain't getting shot again for some cause I don't believe in.
Inman: If you could see my inside, or whatever you want to name it, my spirit, that's what I fear. I think I'm ruined. They kept trying to put me in the ground but I wasn't ready. But if I had - if I had goodness, I lost it. If I had anything tender in me, I shot it dead! How could I write to you after what I'd done? What I'd seen?
Inman: But I'm a deserter. If they find me here things could get bad for you.
Maddy: What are they gonna do? Cut short me young life?
Inman: She's the place I'm heading. But I hardly know her. I just can't seem to get back to her. |  Movie/TV title: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
Character name: Lemony Snicket
Quote(s): If you have ever lost someone very important to you, then you already know how it feels; and if you haven't, you cannot possibly imagine it.
Lemony Snicket: This is the story of the three Baudelaire children. Violet loved to invent, her brother, Klaus, loved to read, and their sister, Sunny... she loved to bite. My name is Lemony Snicket and it is my duty to tell you their tale. No one knows the precise cause of the Baudelaire fire, but just like that, the Baudelaire children became the Baudelaire orphans. (Narrating)
(Last lines)
Lemony Snicket: Dear reader, there are people in the world who know no misery and woe. And they take comfort in cheerful films about twittering birds and giggling elves. There are people who know that there's always a mystery to be solved. And they take comfort in researching and writing down any important evidence. But this story is not about such people. This story is about the Baudelaires. And they are the sort of people who know that there's always something. Something to invent, something to read, something to bite, and something to do, to make a sanctuary, no matter how small. And for this reason, I am happy to say, the Baudelaires were very fortunate indeed. |  Movie/TV title: The Holiday (2006)
Character name: Graham Simpkins
Quote(s):
Graham Simpkins: I have the classic male problem of no follow through. Absolutely never remember to call after a date - but as this wasn't a date, I guess I'm off the hook.
Graham Simpkins: Long distance relationships can work, you know.
Amanda: Really? I can't make one work when I live in the same house with someone.
Graham Simpkins: I have another scenario for you - I'm in love with you. I apologize for the blunt delivery, but as problematic as this fact may be, I'm in love with YOU. I'm not feeling this because you're leaving, and not because it feels good to feel this way which, by the way, it does, or did before you went off like that. I can't figure out the mathematics of this, I just know I love you. I can't believe how many times I'm saying it! And I never thought I'd feel this way again, so that's pretty phenomenal. And I realize that I come as a package deal: 3 for the price of 1. I know my package, perhaps in the light of day, isn't all that wonderful, but I finally know what I want and that, in itself, is a miracle. And what I want is YOU. | |
