Quote Me!

I'm sitting here in Public Speaking trying desperately to stay awake. You see, I was up late last night writing an essay on the riveting book Islamic Imperialism and I arose from my slumber early this morning to practice with the cross country team before breakfast. So in a last-ditch effort to stay away from dreamland, I've decided to write down some of my favorite quotes from movies. Here goes:


PETE: "Do not seek the treasure!"
GUARD: "Quiet there! Watch the picture show!"
(Pause)
DONNELL: "We though you was a toad!"
-O Brother, Where Art Thou?


TURK: "I'm gonna get out of the car and drop you like third period French."
-Ocean's 11


ARMY SERGEANT: "Is there any reason you shouldn't be in this man's Army? "
MAX: "I'm a cross-dressing homosexual pacifist with a spot on my lung. "
ARMY SERGEANT: "As long as you don't have flat feet."
-Across the Universe


ODDBALL: "We see our role as essentially defensive in nature. While our armies are advancing so fast and everyone's knocking themselves out to be heroes, we are holding ourselves in reserve in case the Krauts mount a counteroffensive which threatens Paris... or maybe even New York. Then we can move in and stop them. But for 1.6 million dollars, we could become heroes for three days."
-Kelly's Heroes


MR. GOODKAT: "Charlie Chaplin once entered a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest in Monte Carlo and came in third; that's a story."
-Lucky Number Slevin


MORPHEUS: "I know *exactly* what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about? "
-The Matrix


MR. DAWS: "Did you know that I was struck by lightning seven times?"
and
BENJAMIN BUTTON: "Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss."



Well, that's all I can come up with for now... and class is wrapping up so I've got to get going to chapel.


Thanks for reading,

-Daniel K
