Last night I caught "Moonstruck" on Cinemax and couldn't stop watching, even though I have it on both DVD and Blu-ray (just love that movie). At one point Nicolas Cage shouts "Son of a bitch!" quite emphatically, which reminded me that in "Creator" with Peter O'Toole and Vincent Spano, they each shout it out quite emphatically too. And in the case of "Moonstruck," who can forget Cher's "Snap out of it!" as she slaps Cage's face? Cage is so great in that movie, and I was delighted to read that Cher resisted studio efforts to re-cast his role and said she wouldn't do it without him, and, boy, was she right!!! They were so hot, so magical, together, and one can understand how he could bring that butterfly out of her cocoon!

"One Prince Of Pizza slice
Puts me in Paradise!
Sausage and extra cheese,
Onions and anchovies;
With mozzarella!
You lucky fella!
You can eat plentily
Just like in Italy!
It's the best!
It's the best!
In the midwest!
Pizza pie!
Pizza pie!
Prince Of Pizza in the family size!"

Sid Waterman (aka "Splendini", Woody Allen), a two-bit magician, is having a disagreement with his new friend, journalism student Sondra Pransky (Scarlett Johansson), in Scoop.
"I should be home working on my magic."
"Why don't you think about this as adding some excitement to your life?"
"Hey sweetheart, excitement in my life is dinner without heartburn after."
"Do you have a family?"
"I had a wife but she dumped me, if you can believe that."
"Somehow…"
"She thought I was immature and that I never grew up. I had a great rebuttal for her. I coulda' nailed her, ya' know, but, uh, I raised my hand and she would not call on me."

Sid (Woody Allen) takes Sondra (Scarlett Johansson) to dinner for her birthday in Scoop.
"The bread is…you know I could make a meal just for the bread. A whole meal, nothing but bread."
"If I ate that much bread, I'd be twenty pounds heavier."
"Ya' see I never gain an ounce because, you know, my anxiety acts like aerobics, so I get the exercise."
"Thanks for taking me out for my birthday, Sidney."
"Well ya' know, you're the daughter that I never had."
"Oooh!"
"No, no, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I never wanted to have kids. I didn't. Because you have kids, what is it? You know, you're nice to them, you bring 'em up, you suffer, ya', ya' take care of them, and then they grow up, and, and accuse you of having Alzheimers."
"Could you ever live in London?"
"Could I live in London? No. No, and I love London, don't get me wrong. I love London. But, uh, apart from the language problem, I can't take the driving. Because ya' know, it's on the wrong side, and every time I drive a car here, I'm convinced I'm gonna die in a crash."

I revisited James Cameron's Titanic last week.
I had forgotten this great line, delivered close to the end of the picture.
The ship has sunk. Jack & Rose are in the freezing water, when Jack makes this comment:
"I don't know about you, but I intend to write a very strongly worded letter to the White Star Line about all of this."

From Calendar Girls
"I don't think there's anything on this planet that more trumpets life than the sunflower. For me that's because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun, but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. A satellite dish for sunshine. Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that's such an admirable thing, and such a lesson in life."

DIRTY HARRY
Callahan is called in to the District Attorney's office after capturing (and torturing) Scorpio.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
District Attorney - I'll be done in a minute. Have a seat. I've just been going over your arrest report. A very unusual piece of police work. Really amazing.
Harry Callahan - Well, I had some luck.
DA - You're lucky I'm not indicting you for assault with intent to commit murder!
HC - What?!
DA - Where the hell does it say you've got a right to kick down doors, torture suspects, deny medical attention and legal counsel? Where have you been? Does Escobedo ring a bell? Miranda? I mean you must have heard of the fourth amendment. What I'm saying is that man had rights.
HC - Well, I'm all broken up about that man's rights.
DA - You should be. I've got news for you, Callahan. As soon as he's well enough to leave the hospital, he walks.
HC - What are you talking about?
DA - He's free!
HC - You mean you're letting him go?
DA - We have to. We can't try him.
HC - And why is that?!
DA - Because I'm not going to waste a half million dollars of taxpayer money on a trial we can't possibly win. The problem is we don't have any evidence.
HC - (pointing to rifle) Evidence? What the hell do you call that?!
DA - I call it nothing! Zero!
HC - Are you trying to tell me that Ballistics can't match the bullet up to this rifle?
DA - It does not matter what Ballistics can do. This rifle might make a nice souvenir, but it's inadmissible as evidence.
HC - And who says that?
DA - It's the law!
HC - Well then the law is crazy!
DA - (introducing seated gentleman) This is Judge Bannerman of the Appellate Court. He also holds classes in Constitutional Law at Berkeley. I've asked him for an opinion. Your honor....
Judge Bannerman - Well, in my opinion, the search of the suspect's quarters was illegal. Evidence obtained thereby, such as that hunting rifle for instance, is inadmissible in court. You should have gotten a search warrant. I'm sorry, but it's that simple.
HC - Search warrant? There was a girl dying!
DA - She was, in fact, dead, according to the medical report.
HC - But I didn't know that!
JB - The court would have to recognize the police officer's legitimate concern for the girl's life, but there is no way they can possibly condone police torture. All evidence concerning the girl - the suspect's confession, all physical evidence - would have to be excluded.
HC - Well, there must something you can get him on.
JB - Without the evidence of the gun and the girl? Ha! I couldn't convict him of spitting on the sidewalk. Now the suspect's rights were violated under the fourth and fifth and probably the sixth and fourteenth amendments.
HC - .....and Anne Mary Deacon? What about her rights? I mean she's raped and left in a hole to die. Who speaks for her?
DA - The District Attorney's office! If you'll let us. I've got a wife and three kids. I don't want him on the streets any more than you do.
HC - Oh, he won't be out there long.
DA - What is that supposed to mean?
HC - I mean sooner or later he's gonna stub his toe and I'll be right there.
DA - This office won't stand for any harrassment.
HC - Ya' know you're crazy if you think you've heard the last of this guy. He's gonna kill again.
DA - How do you know?
HC - Cuz' he likes it!

TIME BANDITS
EVIL has a brief exchange with his aide Benson...
"Oh, Robert! Benson! I feel the power of evil coursing through my veins. It's filling every corner of my being with the desire to do wrong. I feel so BAD Benson!"
"Good! Good!"
"Yes it is good! For this is the worst kind of badness I'm feeling."
"Kill me, master! Kill me!"
"Not now, Benson. We have work to do. No lesser work than the overthrowing of creation itself. We will remake man in our image, not His. We will turn mountains into sea. And the skies into rivers. And the pastures into deserts. And the deserts into quagmires. Icebergs into fire. And the fire into a mighty, rushing wind which will cover the face of the earth and wipe clean the scourge of wooly thinking once and for all!"
"We can make beans into peas!"
"Oh, Benson! Dear Benson, you are so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence."
"Ahhh, ha, haaa! You say such nice things, master!"
"Yes I know. I'm sorry."
