I think I deserve a little appreciation!

I just stole fifty cars in one night! I’m a little tired, little *wired*, and I think I deserve a little appreciation!

Let’s go somewhere.

Trillian: Let’s go somewhere.
Arthur: Sure, where?
Trillian: Madagascar.
Arthur: That new club on Dean Street?
Trillian: No, it’s a country. Off the coast of Africa.

Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Are u Sexy?

I find it very difficult to draw a line between what’s sexy and what isn’t. It can be very, very sexy to drive a car, and completely unsexy to flirt with someone at a bar.

At least… look at me!

Dr. Bill Harford: Honey, have you seen my wallet?
Alice Harford: Isn’t it on the bedside table?
Dr. Bill Harford: Now listen, you know we’re running a little late.
Alice Harford: I know. How do I look?
Dr. Bill Harford: Perfect.
Alice Harford: Is my hair okay?
Dr. Bill Harford: It’s great
Alice Harford: You’re not even looking at it.
Dr. Bill Harford: It’s beautiful. You always look beautiful.

Operator!

Hello, operator, gimme the number for 911!

Looking out for Eskimos?

People are always asking me about Eskimos, but there are no Eskimos in Iceland.

Integrity

My father was very strong. I don’t agree with a lot of the ways he brought me up. I don’t agree with a lot of his values, but he did have a lot of integrity, and if he told us not to do something, he didn’t do it either.

- Madonna

I feel exactly the same way :)

There are moments when I can’t believe I’m as old as I am. But I feel better physically than I did 10 years ago. I don’t think, Oh God, I’m missing something.

- Madonna

I stand for…

I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.

Sure?

[a tall stranger drinks from Alice’s wine glass]
Alice Harford: Umm, I think that’s my glass.
Sandor Szavost: I’m absolutely certain of it.

I bet we even die on the same day!

Of course you’re going to see me again. We’ll grow old together. It’s going to be you and me living in a big house… these two old biddies with all these cats. I bet we even die on the same day.

- Gillian Owens, Practical Magic

Would you like to say anything to your fans?

I think you’re all completely mad! —and thank you very much.

- Kate Bush, Kate Bush Convention, November 17, 1990

All I want is a normal life!

Sally Owens: All I want is a normal life.
Aunt Frances Owens: My darling girl, when are you going to understand that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage!
Sally Owens: Well, it’s what I want.

- Practical Magic (1998)

How could you leave me when I needed to possess you?

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We’d roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.

- Kate Bush, Wuthering Height
