"And that's how it came to pass that on the second-to-last day of the job, the convict crew that tarred the plate factory roof in the spring of forty-nine wound up sitting in a row at ten o'clock in the morning drinking icy cold, Bohemia-style beer, courtesy of the hardest screw that ever walked a turn at Shawshank State Prison."
Best quote ever, courtesy of Ellis Boyd Redding.
Forrest Gump
Drill Sergeant: Gump! What's your sole purpose in this army?
Forrest Gump: To do whatever you tell me, drill sergeant!
Drill Sergeant: God damn it, Gump! You're a god damn genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump.

Lost in Translation
Bob describing what it's like having kids:
Your life, as you know it is gone. Never to return. But they learn how to walk, and they learn how to talk and you want to be with them. And they turn out to be the most delightful people you will ever meet in your life.

Bob: The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.
Down by Law by Jim Jarmush:
Roberto Begnini had to make up a tough story after he got innocently busted and Tom Waits asked him in prison why he was jailed:
"Uh, I killed a man".
Tom Waits cracked up laughing (you would understand if you have seen Roberto): "You killed a man?"
"Yes. He threw ball at me. I threw ball back. Black ball. Number 8. Was a very good ball. One stroke. Dead".
Originally posted by SakeIt's not from a film, but from a concert...
Tom Waits cracked up laughing (you would understand if you have seen Roberto): "You killed a man?"
But Tom Waits is singing a song (well, I say singing, but it's more like grumbling) and he starts talking to the audience:
"I'm so god damned horny, even the crack of dawn better be careful around me."
How cool is that?
