Overcoming Shyness in Pursuit of Acting

Lisa Come on, let me film you.

Alex No, you first.

Lisa Come on, Alex. Are you shy? You can't be shy if you wanna be an actress.

Lisa Here.

[holds up a book]

Alex Shakespeare.

Lisa This is your big break.

Alex That's Shakespeare. I can't do that. That's too hard.

Lisa Haply, when I shall wed. That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry half my love with him, half my care and duty. Surely I shall never marry like my sisters to love my father all.

[Lisa begins to quote Shakespeare at the camera]

Lisa So true, my lord. In life... Ah! I blew it. I'm sorry. That was bad.

Alex No, that was amazing.

Lisa You know, the thing with acting is, Alex, you just have to commit. Otherwise, you're just a phony.

Inglourious Basterds

Tension Escalates in a High-Stakes Encounter

Hellstrom I must say, I grow weary of these monkeyshines. Did you hear that? That was the sound of my Walther. Pointed right at your testicles.

[''In German''; ''Clicking sound'']

Lt. Archie Hicox Why do you have your Walther pointed at my testicles?

Hellstrom Because you've just given yourself away, Captain. You're no more German than that scotch.

Hicox Well, Major...

Bridget von Hammersmark Major...

Hellstrom Shut up, slut! You were saying?

Hicox I was saying that that makes two of us. I've had a gun pointed at your balls since you sat down.

Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz That makes three of us. And at this range, I'm a real Frederick Zoller.

[''thrusting his Walther into Hellstrom's crotch'']

Hellstrom Looks like we have a bit of a sticky situation here.

Hicox What's going to happen, Major... you're going to stand up and walk out that door with us.

Hellstrom No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't think so. I'm afraid, you and I, we both know, Captain, no matter what happens to anybody else in this room the two of us aren't going anywhere. Too bad about Sergeant Wilhelm and his famous friends. If any of you expect to live, you'll have to shoot them too. Looks like little Max will grow up an orphan. How sad.

Hicox Well, if this is it, old boy, I hope you don't mind if I go out speaking ].

[''In English''; [W:King's English|the King's]

Hellstrom By all means, Captain.

[''In English'']

Hicox There's a special ring in hell reserved for people who waste good scotch. Seeing as how I may be rapping on the door momentarily... I must say, damn good stuff, sir. Now, about this pickle we find ourselves in. It would appear there's only one thing left for you to do.

[''drinks'']

Hellstrom And what would that be?

Hicox Stiglitz...

Stiglitz Say "auf Wiedersehen" to your Nazi balls!

Confrontation of Love and Truth

Matthew You knew she was here the whole time?

Alex This belongs to you. It's from her.

[reaches into her bag and grabs the envelop she was suppose to give to Matthew two years earlier]

Lisa Matt, please don't think that I'm running away from you. I was so overwhelmed when you asked me to move in, I couldn't speak. My answer, of course, is yes. I love you, and can't wait to come home.

[in the letter]

Alex I'm not going to apologize for what I've done. This is for me to live with now. Now you see me for who I am.

[in tears]

Matthew Yes, I do.

Confrontation Over Surveillance and Interests

Lisa Do you normally spy on people?

Matthew What?

Lisa Are you really gonna tell me that you're a huge fan of modern dance?

Matthew Look, I've never done anything like that before. Honestly, could you let me take you out for a cup of coffee and explain.

Lisa I don't think so.

[chuckles]

Matthew I'll stay on my side of the table. I promise.

Lisa Just call me when the shoes come in, okay?

Matthew Listen, I'm not what you think I am, okay?

Matthew Shit.

Lisa Tomorrow night. 6:00. Cafe Tangiers on Kinzie. Now you won't have to follow me.

[Matthew notices that she wrote a message on the shoebox instead of leaving her phone number for the shoes]

Inglourious Basterds

Identity and Intent in Dialogue

Major Dieter Hellstrom Now, gentlemen, around this time you could ask whether you're real or fictitious. I, however, think that's too easy, so I won't ask that yet. Okay, my native land is the jungle. I visited America, but the visit was not fortuitous to me, but the implication is that it was to somebody else. When I went from the jungle to America, did I go by boat?

Bridget von Hammersmark Yes.

Hellstrom Did I go against my will?

Von Hammersmark Yes.

Hellstrom On this boat ride, was I in chains?

Von Hammersmark Yes.

Hellstrom When I arrived in America, was I displayed in chains?

Von Hammersmark Yes!

Hellstrom Am I the story of the negro in America?

Cpl. Wilhelm Wicki No.

Hellstrom Well, then, I must be King Kong.
