Before Sunset
I think the world might be getting better because people like you are educated and speaking out.
--Jesse
They enjoy the goal but not the process. But the reality of it is that the true improving of things is in little achievements of the day. And that's what you need to enjoy.
--Celine
Memories are wonderful thing if you don't have to deal with the past.
--Celine
Memories never end as long as you are alive.
--Jesse
You can never replace anyone. What is lost is lost.
--Celine
You can never replace anyone because everyone is made of such beautiful specific details.
--Celine
*When Celine paused during her venting moment* Can I talk?

Anatomy of a Murder
Lt. Frederick Manion: How do I know that you can handle my case?
Paul Biegler: I guess you don't know.
Paul Biegler: The unwritten law is a myth, lieutenant. There is no such thing as unwritten law.
Parnell Emmett McCarthy: You don't have to love him. Just defend him.
Paul Biegler: There's only one thing more devious than a Philadelphia lawyer. And that's an Irish lawyer.
Paul Biegler: Bad temper is no excuse.
Paul Biegler: In the mean time, just remember how crazy you were.
Paul Biegler: It would be difficult not to look at you.
Judge Weaver: The attorneys will provide the wisecracks.
Secretary: You can't fire me 'til you pay me.
Parnell Emmett McCarthy: Twelve people go off into a room: twelve different minds, twelve different hearts, from twelve different walks of life; twelve sets of eyes, ears, shapes, and sizes. And these twelve people are asked to judge another human being as different from them as they are from each other. And in their judgment, they must become of one mind - unanimous. It's one of the miracles of Man's disorganized soul that they can do it, and in most instances, do it right well. God bless juries.
Parnell Emmett McCarthy: That's what I call bloody justice for everyone.
Paul Biegler: I guess you don't know.

Sherlock Holmes (2009)
Sherlock Holmes: Madame, I need you to remain calm and trust me, I'm a professional. Beneath this pillow lies the key to my release.
Dr. John Watson: Holmes, does your depravity know no bounds?
Nanny: He's killed the dog. Again
Dr. John Watson: You do know what you are drinking is meant for eye surgery?
Sherlock Holmes: This mustn't register on an emotional level. First, Distract target. Then block his blind jab. Counter with cross to left cheek. Discombobulate. Dazed, will attempt wild haymaker. Weaken right jaw. Now fracture. Break cracked ribs. Heel kick to diaphragm.
Summary: ears ringing, jaw fractured, three ribs cracked, four broken, diaphragm hemorrhaging. Physical recovery six weeks. Full psychological recovery six months. Ability to spit at back of head neutralized.
Irene Adler: Why are you always so suspicious?
Sherlock Holmes: Should I answer chronologically or alphabetically?
Dr. John Watson: Get that out of my face.
Sherlock Holmes: It's not in your face, its in my hand.
Dr. John Watson: Then get what's in your hand out of my face.
Sherlock Holmes: You have the grand gift of silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion.
Sherlock Holmes: Never theorize before you have data. Invariably, you end up twisting facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
Sherlock Holmes: Watson, what have you done?
Sherlock Holmes: You’ve never complained about my methods before.
Dr. John Watson: I’ve never complained! When have I ever complained about you practicing the violin at three in the morning, or your mess? Your general lack of hygiene or your experiment on my dog?
Dr. John Watson: So what was it you said about saving bullets?
Sherlock Holmes: Fear is the best weapon.
Sherlock Holmes: It's a matter of professional integrity! No girl wants to marry a doctor who can't tell if a man's dead or not!
Irene Adler: He's just as brilliant as you are and infinitely more devious.
Sherlock Holmes: We'll see about that.
Irene Adler: He found my weakness.
Sherlock Holmes: And what is that?

Becoming Jane
Affection is desirable. Money is absolutely indispensable!
~Mrs. Austen
If I marry, I want it to be out of affection.
~Jane Austen
What value will there ever be in life, if we are not together?
~Tom Lefroy
Experience is vital.
~Tom Lefroy
Sometimes affection is a shy flower that takes time to blossom.
~Mr. Wisley
Nothing destroys spirit like poverty.
~Rev. Austen
I find irony is insult with a smiling face.
~Judge Langlois
Justice plays no part in the law.
~Tom Lefroy
If a woman happens to have a particular superiority, for example, a profound mind, it is best kept a profound secret. Humour is liked more, but wit?. No. It is the most treacherous talent of them all.*
~Rev. Austen
Jane Austen: Could I really have this?
Tom Lefroy: What, precisely?
Jane Austen: You.
Tom Lefroy: Me? How?
Jane Austen: This life with you.
Tom Lefroy: Yes.
"She began now to comprehend that he was exactly the man who, in disposition and talents, would most suit her. His understanding and temper, though unlike her own, would have answered all her wishes. It was a union that must have been to the advantage of both. By her ease and liveliness, his mind might have been softened, his manners improved, and from his judgment, information and knowledge of the world, she must have received benefit of greater importance. But no such happy marriage could now teach the admiring multitude what connubial felicity really was."
~Jane Austen reading Pride and Prejudice
