As for godfather, i wanted to highlight Abe's best line!

Yep, that's a good one (and I'm assuming you're being partially tongue-in-cheek), but to me his best line is:

"Tom, can you get me off the hook? For old time's sake?"

I considered that Jenk. And Tell mike i always liked him.
But i figured the toilet line was back when he was a proper capo, scheming to bump off sollazzo and mcCluskey!
Its just funnier.

What a great movie, from beginning to end. The cold way Tom Hagen just shakes his head and says, "Sorry Sally, can't do it" gives me chills for some reason. Kind of a frightening scene....

Youre right - it has extra weight because up until that point Tom has kinda been legal and non muscle. Suddenly hes part of the deception and has orchestrated Sal tessio's death - he knows it, sal knows it - and i think thats why coppola filmed Tom going inside then peeking out through the window at Sal being ushered into the car. Hes not as cold as michael or vito and is kinda reconciling sending one of their previously good guy reliable capos for execution.

Rabbi Baumel: "Radio... It's all right once in a while. Otherwise it tends to induce bad values, false dreams, lazy habits. Listening to these stories of foolishness and violence... this is no way for a boy to grow up."

Joe: "You speak the truth, my faithful Indian companion."

Rabbi Baumel: "To a rabbi you say 'my faithful Indian companion'?"

[hits him in the head]

Miloc Forman's Amadeus. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart talking to Emperor Joseph II in the Vienna court (see the majestic city view https://tranio.com/austria/adt/1318718/): Sire, only opera can do this. In a play if more than one person speaks at the same time, it's just noise, no one can understand a word. But with opera, with music... with music you can have twenty individuals all talking at the same time, and it's not noise, it's a perfect harmony!

Dinner with me...i cant cancel that again...7 o'clock wrestle with my self-loathing...Nope, I'm booked....of course, i could bump self loathing to 9, and still be done in time to stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness....But what would i wear???!!."

Vision: You're afraid.
Ultron: Of you?
Vision: Of death. You're the last one.
Ultron: You were supposed to be the last. Stark asked for a savior, and settled for a slave.
Vision: I suppose we're both disappointments. [Ultron chuckles]
Ultron: I suppose we are.
Vision: Humans are odd. They think order and chaos are somehow opposites, and try to control what won't be. But there is grace in their failings. I think you missed that.
Ultron: They're doomed.
Vision: Yes. But a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. It's a privilege to be among them.
Ultron: You're unbearably naive.
Vision: Well, I was born yesterday. [as Ultron goes to attack him Vision uses the Infinity Stone in his head to destroy him]

"I was wondering..."
"Yes?"
"Could you validate my parking ticket?"
"An attempt at humor, I suppose."
"I'm sorry... You know, I counted the floors to this building from the street."
[sighs] "And?"
"There's one missing."
"[sarcastically] We'll look into it."

"I had an interesting chat with Mr. Taplinger, as he's called. I'd say he has a classic neurotic personality disorder. Brilliant parents who didn't get along, closer to his aunt than his mother, obsessed with mortality, believes in nothing, finds life to have no meaning. Just a perfect depressive, with everything sublimated into his art, and he is quite an artist. He began as an escape artist. Interesting choice if anyone ever wanted to escape from reality. But, like Freud, he will not permit himself to be seduced by childish thoughts just because they're more comforting. Very unhappy man. I like him."

~Magic in the Moonlight (2014)
