Cobb : Let me tell you about your friend Paden. A long time ago, me, Paden, Tyree, and a couple of other fellas did a lot of riding together. On business, and business was pretty good. We moved around a lot, the way you have to in that line of work. Somewhere along the way, we picked up this dog. One of us took to feeding it, so it followed us everywhere. Well, one day we’re leaving this little Missouri town, in kind of a hurry with a bunch of the locals hot on our tail. Somehow this dog got tied up with Tyree’s horse. Tyree went flyin’….
Well, Tyree was pretty mad when he got up, and, being Tyree, he shot the dog. Didn’t kill him, though. The next thing you know, Paden’s down off his horse, and he’s holdin’ this dog, sayin’ we should go on without him. I thought he was kidding, except he wasn’t. Tyree was ready to plug ’em both – all this with the posse ridin’ down on us….
I thought we were pals after all that riding we did together. All of a sudden he’s worried about some mutt. Well, we did like he asked. We left him, and he went to jail for a dog. You want to hear the funny part? Paden didn’t even like that damn dog.

Paden : It evened out in the end. They locked me up; the dog sprung me.

Hyman Roth : There was this kid I grew up with; he was younger than me. Sorta looked up to me, you know. We did our first work together, worked our way out of the street. Things were good, we made the most of it. During Prohibition, we ran molasses into Canada… made a fortune, your father, too. As much as anyone, I loved him and trusted him. Later on he had an idea to build a city out of a desert stop-over for GI’s on the way to the West Coast. That kid’s name was Moe Greene, and the city he invented was Las Vegas. This was a great man, a man of vision and guts. And there isn’t even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in that town! Someone put a bullet through his eye. No one knows who gave the order. When I heard it, I wasn’t angry; I knew Moe, I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when he turned up dead, I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we’ve chosen; I didn’t ask who gave the order, because it had nothing to do with business!

You okay?

Naw man. I’m pretty fuckin’ far from okay.

[Vincent and Jules walk into the apartment. They don’t look happy]
Jules: Hey kids, how you boys doing?
[One starts to get up]
Jules: Keep chilling. You know who we are? We are associates of your business partner Marsellus Wallace. You do remember your business partner, don’t ‘cha?
[Nervous silence]
Jules: Now let me take a wild guess here. [Points at a young man sitting at a table eating breakfast] You’re Brett, right?
Brett: Yeah.
Jules: I thought so. You remember your business partner Marsellus Wallace, don’t ‘cha, Brett?
[Vincent walks behind Brett into the kitchen]
Brett: Yeah, I-I remember.
Jules: Good. It looks like me and Vincent caught you boys at breakfast. Sorry about that. What ‘cha having?
Brett: Hamburgers.
Jules: Hamburgers! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast. What kinda hamburgers?
Brett: Uh, ch-cheeseburgers.
Jules: No, no-no-no-no, where’d you get them? McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Jack-in-the-Box, where?
Brett: Um, Big Kahuna Burger.
Jules: Big Kahuna Burger! That’s that Hawaiian burger joint. I hear they got some tasty burgers. Ain’t never had one myself. How are they?
Brett: Th-they’re good.
Jules: You mind if I try one of yours?
[They shake their heads]
Jules: This is yours here, right?
[Jules picks up a cheeseburger and takes a bite]
Jules: Mm-hmm! This is a tasty burger! Vincent! You ever had a Big Kahuna burger?
[Vincent shakes his head]
Jules: Want a bite? They’re real tasty.
Vincent: Ain’t hungry.
Jules: Well, if you like burgers, give them a try sometime. Me, I can’t usually get them ’cause my girlfriend’s a vegetarian, which pretty much makes me a vegetarian. I do love the taste of a good burger. Mmm. [To Brett] You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in France?
Brett: No.
Jules: Tell them, Vincent
Vincent: Royale with Cheese.
Jules: Royale with Cheese. Know why they call it that?
[Brett shrugs]
Brett: Uh, because of the metric system?
Jules: Check out the big brain on Brett! You’re a smart mother****er. That’s right. The metric system.
[Jules tosses the burger down on the table. He points at a plastic cup]
Jules: What’s in this?
Brett: Sprite.
Jules: Sprite, good. Do you mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down?
Brett: Go right ahead.
[Jules picks up the Sprite and drinks it]
Jules: Ah. That hit the spot.
[Jules points at the other guy on the couch]
Jules: You, Flock-of-Seagulls, know why we’re here? Why don’t you tell my man Vince were you got the shit hid at?
[The third man, Marvin, behind Jules, in a corner, speaks]
Marvin: It’s over there–
Jules: [shouting]: I don’t remember asking you a god damn thing! [to Flock-of-Seagulls] You were saying?
Flock-of-Seagulls: In the cupboard. [Vincent looks in an overhead cupboard] N-no, the one by your knees.
[Vincent pulls out a black briefcase, unlocks it, and looks at the glowing light inside]
Jules: We happy? [no answer] Vincent? Are we happy?
Vincent: Yeah, we happy. Fff.
Brett: [to Jules] Look, I’m sorry, I didn’t get your name. I got yours, uh, Vincent, right? But I–I didn’t get yours.
Jules: My name is Pitt, and your ass ain’t talking your way outta this shit.
Brett: [rising]: No, no, no. I just want you to know how– [Jules motions him to sit down] I just want you to know how sorry we are that that things got so ****ed up with us and Mr. Wallace. It, we-we got into this thing with the best intentions. I never inte–
[Jules shoots Flock-of-Seagulls, Brett recoils in horror]
Jules: Oh, I’m sorry. Did I break your concentration? I didn’t mean to do that. Please, continue. You were sayin’ something about “best intentions”? What’s the matter? Oh, y-you were finished? Oh, well allow me to retort!
[Jules looks pretty upset]
Jules: What does Marsellus Wallace look like?
Brett: What?
Jules: What country are you from?
Brett: What?
Jules: “What” ain’t no country I ever heard of! They speak English in “What”?!
Brett: What?
Jules: English, mother****er! Do you speak it?!
Brett: Yes!
Jules: Then you know what I’m saying. Describe, what Marsellus Wallace, looks like!
Brett: What?
Jules: [points gun at Brett] Say “what” again! Say “what” again. I dare you! I double-dare you, mother****er! Say “what” one more god damn time!
Brett: He-he’s black.
Jules: Go on!
Brett: He’s bald.
Jules: Does he look like a bitch?
Brett: What?!
Jules: [shoots Brett in the shoulder, Brett screams] Does…he…look…like a bitch?!
Brett: [in pain] No-o!!
Jules: Then why’d you try to **** him like a bitch, Brett?
Brett: I didn’t!
Jules: Yes, you did! Yes, you did, Brett! You tried to **** him, and Marsellus Wallace don’t like to be ****ed by anybody, except Mrs. Wallace. You read the Bible, Brett?
Brett: Yes!
Jules: Well, there’s this passage I’ve got memorized that sort of fits this occasion. Ezekiel 25:17. “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of the evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. [Says it louder] And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. [Says it even louder] And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!”

If you really want to post pictures there is the pictures thread. Please don’t view this as an attack. I am just asking you to stick to the topic.

I normally don’t work on Thursday but I was asked to come in today because due to the vagaries of our scheduling system the only one here was my boss. She asked and I agreed. And my dramatic soul has me repeating this fine speech as I work at my desk. and thus I now share it with you.

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

I love the song. Thanks for reminding me!

Much admiration

———————-

Captain Jack

by Billy Joel

Saturday night and you’re still hangin’ around
Tired of living in your one horse town
You’d like to find a little hole in the ground,
For awhile.
So you go to the village in your tie dyed jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It’s like some pornographic magazine
And you smile

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin’
Oh yeah, …

Your sister’s gone out, she’s on a date
You just sit at home and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon, but you just can’t wait

So you stand on the corner in your New English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
Ah but still your fingers gonna pick your nose
After all, .

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin’

So you decide to take a holiday
You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet
Ah, there ain’t no place to go anyway
What for?
So you got everything, ah, but nothing’s cool
They just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won’t be going back to school
Anymore.

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin’

So you play your albums, and you smoke your pot
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot
Oh but still you’re aching for the things you haven’t got
What went wrong?
And if you can’t understand why your world is so dead,
Why you’ve got to keep in style and feed your head
Well you’re 21 and still your mother makes your bed,
And that’s too long

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island

Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin’

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island

Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin’

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island

Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin’

That whole song is good.

Joel was an amazing lyricist. It is a shame he stopped releasing new material in the 90’s. He felt that new material that didn’t match the quality of his earlier stuff would dilute the whole content.

Something like the way people feel that Godfather 3 takes away from the first two movies and dilutes the whole “trilogy”.

All right. We got seven canisters of CM-20. I say we roll them in there and nerve gas the whole fuckin’ nest.

It’s worth the try, but we don’t know if that’s gonna affect them.

Look let’s just bug out and call it even, okay? What are we even talking about this for?

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Hold on, hold on just a second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.

Okay, I know this is an emotional moment for all of us, okay? I know that. But let’s not make snap judgments, please. This is clearly… clearly an important species we’re dealing with and I don’t think that you or I, or *anybody*, has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them.

Wrong!

Yeah. Watch us.

Hey, maybe you haven’t been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!

Look. I’m not blind to what’s going on, but I cannot authorize that kind of action. I’m sorry.

Well, I believe that Corporal Hicks… has authority here.

Corporal Hicks has…

This operation is under military jurisdiction and Hicks is next in chain of command. Am I right, Corporal?

Yeah… yeah, that’s right.

Yeah… Look, Ripley, this is a multi-million dollar installation, okay? He can’t make that kind of decision. He’s just a grunt! Uh, no offense.

None taken. Ferro, do you copy?

Nothing wrong with asking but please remember that no is a legitimate answer.

Personally, I think posting the whole song is tl/dr. just post the relevant part. it is like when we post movie/tv quotes. no one is going to post the entire script. so why bother with the whole song? If it spurs in you a need to hear a song, go to you tube or some other site and listen to it. that is what I do.

For example, rather than pasting the entire copy that Sean did, I like to keep it succinct and brief.

The thread was originally called “Quotes and lyrical snippets”. So, in my posting the lyrics of an entire song, I am going against my original intent for the thread.

Snippets it will be for me, along with a small note advising or encouraging (if inclined) to read the whole song or scene online… 😁

Happening…

Never had a doubt in the beginning
Never a doubt
Trusted you true in the beginning
I loved you right through

Arm in arm we laughed like kids
At all the silly things we did

You made me promises, promises
Knowing I’d believe
Promises, promises
You knew you’d never keep

Lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor!

Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last

Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy

It’s all so confusing this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes and then apologize
Be daddy’s good girl, and don’t tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you’ll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell from the swing
Because hell, hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, hell is for children
And you shouldn’t have to pay for your love
With your bones and your flesh

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I’m happy)
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do

Fuck the police comin’ straight from the underground
A young nigga got it bad ’cause I’m brown
And not the other color, so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority
Fuck that shit, ’cause I ain’t the one
For a punk motherfucker with a badge and a gun
To be beating on and thrown in jail
We can go toe-to-toe in the middle of a cell
Fuckin’ with me ’cause I’m a teenager
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searchin’ my car, lookin’ for the product
Thinkin’ every nigga is sellin’ narcotics
You’d rather see me in the pen
Than me and Lorenzo rollin’ in a Benz-o
Beat a police out of shape
And when I’m finished, bring the yellow tape
To tape off the scene of the slaughter
Still getting swole off bread and water
I don’t know if they fags or what
Search a nigga down and grabbing his nuts
And on the other hand, without a gun, they can’t get none
But don’t let it be a black and a white one
‘Cause they’ll slam ya down to the street top
Black police showing out for the white cop
Ice Cube will swarm
On any motherfucker in a blue uniform
Just ’cause I’m from the CPT
Punk police are afraid of me, huh
A young nigga on the warpath
And when I’m finished, it’s gonna be a bloodbath
Of cops dying in L.A.
Yo, Dre, I got something to say

Expanding from within
See them collide
Feel it all begin
Our souls belong among the stars
Our bodies can’t hold it in

There’s a science to walking through windows.

Lay my head on the hood of your car
I take it too far
I still owe money to the money, to the money I owe
I never thought about love when I thought about home
I still owe money to the money, to the money I owe
The floors are falling out from everybody I know
I’m on a blood buzz, yes, I am
I’m on a blood buzz
I’m on a blood buzz, God, I am

The first thing I want to be done is to get that piece of crap out of my ring. Don’t just get him out of the ring, get him out of the WWF, because I’ve proved, son, without a shadow of a doubt, you ain’t got what it takes anymore! You sit there, and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn’t get you anywhere. Talk about your psalms, talk about John 3:16…Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!

Fine! Let’s look at that tattoo up close and personal, shall we? What are these? Oh, my God! Breasts! How does anybody practice medicine hauling these things around? And what have we got back here? Let’s see if I remember my anatomy. Glutes, right? Let’s study them, shall we? Gather around and check out the booty that put Izzie Stevens through med school! Have you had enough, or should I continue? Because I have a few more very interesting tattoos. You want to call me Dr. Model? That’s fine. Just remember that while you’re still sitting on two hundred grand of student loans… I’m out of debt.

Wonder Woman: It’s not just his age. It’s the fact that he lied about it.

Captain Marvel: I didn’t lie… exactly. I just left out the part about being a kid.

Wonder Woman: A lie of omission is still a lie. You kept an important secret from us. No one in the League knew the truth.

Batman: I did.

Wonder Woman: I shouldn’t be surprised since you indoctrinated Robin into crimefighting at the ripe old age of nine.

Batman: Robin needed to help bring the man who murdered his family to justice.

Wonder Woman: So he could turn out like you?

Here

Alessia Cara

I’m sorry if I seem uninterested
Or I’m not listenin’ or I’m indifferent
Truly, I ain’t got no business here
But since my friends are here, I just came to kick it
But really I would rather be at home all by myself not in this room
With people who don’t even care about my well being
I don’t dance, don’t ask, I don’t need a boyfriend
So you can go back, please enjoy your party
I’ll be here

Somewhere in the corner under clouds of marijuana
With this boy who’s hollering, I can hardly hear
Over this music I don’t listen to and I don’t wanna get with you
So tell my friends that I’ll be over here
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh, I ask myself what am I doing here?
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
And I can’t wait ’til we can break up out of here

Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this
An anti-social pessimist, but usually I don’t mess with this
And I know you mean only the best
And your intentions aren’t to bother me
But honestly I’d rather be
Somewhere with my people we can kick it and just listen
To some music with the message (like we usually do)
And we’ll discuss our big dreams
How we plan to take over the planet
So pardon my manners, I hope you’ll understand
That I’ll be here

Not there in the kitchen with the girl
Who’s always gossiping about her friends
So tell them I’ll be here
Right next to the boy who’s throwing up
‘Cause he can’t take what’s in his cup no more
Oh God, why am I here?

Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh, I ask myself what am I doing here?
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
And I can’t wait ’til we can break up out of here
Hours later congregating next to the refrigerator
Some girl’s talking ’bout her haters
She ain’t got none
How did it ever come to this
I shoulda never come to this

So holla at me, I’ll be in the car when you’re done
I’m standoffish, don’t want what you’re offering
And I’m done talking
Awfully sad it had to be that way
So tell my people when they’re ready that I’m ready
And I’m standing by the TV with my beanie low
Yo, I’ll be over here

Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh, I ask myself what am I doing here?
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
And I can’t wait ’til we can break up out of here

If some cunt can fuck something up, that cunt will pick the worst possible time to fucking fuck it up cause that cunt’s a cunt.

Why drink the water from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards your domain
Your cup runneth over again

Don’t scream about, don’t think aloud
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out
Don’t worry about, don’t speak of doubt
Turn your head now, baby, just spit me out

I don’t know what the world may need
But I’m sure as hell that is starts with me
And that’s a wisdom, I’ve laughed at
I don’t know what the world may want
But a good stiff drink it surely don’t
So I think I’ll go and fix myself a tall one

‘Cause, what the world needs now
Is a new kind of tension
‘Cause the old one just bores me to death
‘Cause, what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

I don’t know what the world may need
But a V8 engine is a good start for me
Think I’ll drive to find a place, to be surly
I don’t know what the world may want
But some words of wisdom could comfort us
Think I’ll leave that up to someone wiser

‘Cause, what the world needs now
Are some true words of wisdom
Like La la la la la la la la la la
‘Cause, what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

I don’t know what the world may need
And I never grasped your complexities
I’d be happy just to get your attention
I don’t know what the world may want
But your long, sweet body lying next
To mine could certainly raise my spirits

‘Cause what the world needs now
Is a new Frank Sinatra
So I can get you in bed
‘Cause what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

What the world needs now
What the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head, head, head
What the world needs now
What the world needs now
Is a new Frank Sinatra
So I can get you in bed

What the world needs now
What the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head
What the world needs now
What the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head

Professor X: Hello, Magnus. Surely you have more impressing business than nursing an old friend.

Magneto: Nothing more important.

Professor X: Thank you. It seems I have quite an audience. Thank you all. I’m grateful to have the chance, to say goodbye. Morph: it’s nice to see you home. In facing your fears, you have proven yourself truly an X-Man. Gambit: how often must a scoundrel prove himself a hero before he believes it himself? Jubilee: you are the future. When I look at your face, I see hope. Storm: my beautiful Storm, mighty as a hurricane, gentle as a summer rain. You honor me with your friendship. Wolverine: loner, you have found a family. Wild savage, you have found dignity. Cynic, you have found faith. Rogue: unable to touch, yet look around you – you will find that you have touched us all. Jean: first in my heart. Your courage allowed you to see things no other human ever has, yet remain the same innocent child I met so very long ago. [groans]

Beast: Is there anything I can do, Charles?

Professor Charles Xavier: [quoting Hamlet] “The friends thou hast, and thy adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel.” Scott: were I your father, I would tell you that no truer son could ever be. I am proud, proud of you all…my…X-Men.
