The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead Marines. And then you will be in a world of ****. Because Marines are not allowed to die without permission! Do you maggots understand?
I'm watching Love Birds on Netflix, from New Zealand. It's about a guy who adopts an injured duck that won't fly even after it's healed - and the guy who adopts the duck is afraid of flying, and the vet says the cure is to fly with the duck...hence, a stale mate, it's a romantic comedy. Kind of along the same comedy style as Danny Deckchair, an Australian movie.
Anyway, I thought this line was hilarious, from a woman scorned, delivered as the ultimate insult:
"You're just some bloke who's too scared to fly with a duck that can't!"
"Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?" ~ "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope"
"Laurel is not at her best through mahogany." ~ of an eavesdropping teen in "The Chalk Garden"
I am such a procrastinator, perhaps only outmatched by my father (long gone at far too young an age). We loved Scarlett's lines from "Gone with the Wind":
"I'll think about that tomorrow. ... After all, tomorrow is another day."
I collect quotations, so it's difficult to choose. My present quotation at the top of the page is by Katharine Hepburn in "The Madwoman of Chailot":
"She can't be that innocent. She keeps canaries."
My mom isn't a movie fan, but she has favorite quotations. A couple of them are:
"Don't get pushy, pushy." ~ Gertie to the dog in "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial"
"Don't let them torture you, Gertie." "I won't, Mary." ~ Mom and daughter in "E.T." // When I used to come home to check the mail and get some quiet time, we'd always repeat this exchange when I was on my way back to work, where I had one of the most hateful, inhuman supervisors, a man who still features in many of my nightmares after a number of years.
"Who the hell is that?!" ~ Norman's (Henry Fonda) repeated question as he looks at pictures of himself in "On Golden Pond" (It's especially funny because Mom doesn't use swear words.)
"Don't torture yourself Gomez, that's my job."
"They say she danced naked in the town square and enslaved a minister! But, don't worry, we told Wednesday "college first."
The Addams Family of course. Did Angelica Huston ever look more divine......
