Movie Quotes (I)

*Ice Storm, The

Paul: In issue number 141 of The Fantastic Four, published in November 1973, Reed Richards has to use his anti-matter on his own son who Annilus has turned into a human atom bomb. It was a typical predicament for the Fantastic Four, because they weren't like other superheros. They were more like a family and the more power they had, the more harm they could do to each other without even knowing it. That was the meaning of the Fantastic Four, that a family is like your own personal anti-matter. Your family is the void you emerge from and the place you return to when you die. And that's the paradox-the
closer your drawn back in, the deeper into the void you go.

Paul: To find yourself in the negative zone, as the Fantastic Four often do, means that all everyday assumptions are inverted. Even the invisible girl herself becomes visible and so she loses the last semblance of her power. Seems to me everyone exits partially on a negative zone level, some people more than others. In your life it's kind of like you dip in and out of it, a place where things don't quite work out as they should, but for some people there's something about the negative zone that tempts them and they end up going in...going in all the way.

Phillip: Sometimes the shepherd needs the company of the sheep.

Paul: When you think about it, it's not easy to keep from just wandering out of life. It's like someone's always leaving the door open to the next world and if you aren't paying attention, you could just walk through it and then you've died. That's why in your dreams, it's like your standing in that doorway and the dying people and the newborn people pass by you and brush up against you as they come in and out of the world. During the night, you get spun around and in the morning, it takes a while to find your way back into the world.

I Know What You did Last Summer

If you're going to bury the truth make sure it stays buried.

Ray: Look he's after me too. I got a letter.
Barry: Oh, you got a letter? I got run over, Helen gets her hair chopped off, Julie gets a body in a trunk, and you get a letter? That's balanced.

In & Out

[At the Academy Awards.]
Glenn Close: This is Cameron's first nomination and he's in extremely good company. Tonight he joins fellow best actor nominee Paul Newman for "Coot", Clint Eastwood for "Codger", Michael Douglas for "Primary Urges" and Steven
Segal for "Snowball in Hell".

Cameron (Matt Dillon): Eat something, I'm begging you! You look like a swizzle stick.
 

In Crowd, The

Perry Parker: You know I... I talk to my teens about love, and I always say "This crazy thing called love, it makes you laugh, it makes you cry...but hey, man, it's what makes the world go 'round." Now, dying for love? Whoa! That's too momentous! I mean it's good for the books, but not for teens. Now, on the other hand, there's nothing wrong with a teen king or a teen queen FEELING like you could die for love. That way, you'd cherish every dance and you'd never waste a kiss.

Interview with the Vampire

Claudia (Kirsten Dunst): Tell me how it came to be, that I am this...thing.

Louis (Brad Pitt): Most of all I longed for death. I know that now. I invited it. A release from the pain of living. My invitation was open to anyone. To the whore at my side, to the pimp that followed. But it was a vampire that accepted.

Claudia: Danger holds you to me!
Louis: Love holds you to me.

Claudia: You...fed on me.
Louis: I took your life. He gave you a new one.

Louis: You see that old woman? That will never happen to you. You will never grow old, and you will never die.
Claudia: And it means something else too, doesn't it? I shall never ever grow up.

Lestat (Tom Cruise): You are a vampire who never knew what life was until it ran out in a big gush over your lips.

Armand (Antonio Banderas): The world changes, we do not, there lies the irony that finally kills us.

Louis: That morning I was not yet a vampire, and I saw my last sunrise. I remember it completely, and yet I can't recall any sunrise before it. I watched its whole magnificence for the last time as if it were the first. And then I said farewell to sun light, and set out to become what I became.

Claudia: Goodnight sweet prince and may flights of devils sing you to your rest.

Armand: They had forgotten the first lesson: that we must be powerful, beautiful, and without regret.

Lestat: Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are, none so like him as ourselves.

Into the Woods

Mysterious Man: When first I appear, I seem mysterious, but when explained, I'm nothing serious.

Inventing the Abbotts

Jacey Holt: My brother and I were born strangers.

Irreconcilable Differences  
Casey Brodsky (Drew Barrymore): I'm just a kid, and I don't know what I'm doing sometimes. But I think you should know better when you're all grown up. I think you should know how to act, and how to treat people. And I think if you once loved someone enough to marry them, you should at least be nice to them, even if you don't love 'em any more. And I think if you have a child, you should treat that child like a human being and not like a pet. Not like you treat your dog or somethin'. You know, when you
have a dog sometimes you forget he's there, and then when you get lonely suddenly you remember him, and you remember how cute he is and stuff, and you kiss him a lot, but then the next day when you're busy again you don't notice him. That's how I've been treated for the past 4 years, and you don't treat your kid like your dog. It's not right.
