thursday 13’s here, thursday 13’s here…

This week: 13 movie quotes, pt. 2.

1. “I AM A GOLDEN GOD!!!” —Almost Famous

2. “Whoa, horsie…” “…My name’s Phillip.” —The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

3. “N-Y-one-five-two. One hundred and fifty-two. He’s… one hundred and fifty-two years old. He’s had one hundred and fifty-two moles removed, so now he’s got one hundred and fifty-two pock marks on his face.”
“The number of people who think he looks like Clark Gable.”
“One hundred and fifty-two people who think he looks like a Clark BAR.” —You’ve Got Mail

4. “A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, “I don’t believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me.” Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I’d still have to bum rides off people.”–Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

5. “What’s the Czech for ‘Do you love him?’”–Once

6. “Do you believe in reincarnation?”
“Yeah. Yeah, it’s interesting.”
“Yeah, right. Well, most people, you know, a lot of people talk about past lives and things like that, you know? And even if they don’t believe it in some specific way, you know, people have some kind of notion of an eternal soul, right?”
“Yeah.”
“OK, well this was my thought: 50,000 years ago, there are not even a million people on the planet. 10,000 years ago, there’s, like, two million people on the planet. Now there’s between five and six billion people on the planet, right? Now, if we all have our own, like, individual, unique soul, right, where do they all come from? You know, are modern souls only a fraction of the original souls? ‘Cause if they are, that represents a 5,000 to 1 split of each soul in the last 50,000 years, which is, like, a blip in the Earth’s time. You know, so at best we’re like these tiny fractions of people, you know, walking… I mean, is that why we’re so scattered? You know, is that why we’re all so specialized?”
“I don’t know. Wait a minute, I’m not sure… I don’t…”
“Yeah, hang on, hang on. It’s a, it’s a totally scattered thought. It… which is kind of why it makes sense.”–Before Sunrise

7. “Baby, you are gonna miss that plane.” “I know.”–Before Sunset

8. “In that moment, I knew success, not greatness, was the only god the world served.” —Elizabethtown

9. “It’s the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We’re always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.” —Crash

10. “I think if people see this footage they’ll say, ‘Oh my God, that’s horrible,’ and then go on eating their dinners.”–Hotel Rwanda

11. “You should’ve gone to China, you know, ’cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.” —Juno

12. “Well, Stephen, the bird’s flightless?”
“Yes.”
“It’s not going anywhere.”–Master and Commander

13. “First, I’ll turn him into a flea. Then I’ll put that flea into a box, then I’ll put that box inside another box, and I’ll mail it to myself, and when it comes, I’ll SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!”–The Emperor’s New Groove
