Mystic Pizza - Conflict Between Personal Motives and Relationships
Charles Gordon Windsor, Jr.: [after disrupting his family dinner]
Dais? Look, I'm sorry, all right? But they deserved it. I couldn't let em do that to you.
Daisy:
Me? You weren't thinking of me. You did that for yourself.
Charles Gordon Windsor, Jr.:
They were bein real jerks!
Daisy:
The only jerk at that table was you. They were just being themselves. Bring home your poor Portagee girlfriend for dinner, shake up the family a little.
Charles Gordon Windsor, Jr.:
That's not true.
Daisy:
I'm poor and I hate it. I admit it. I even thought I was desperate, but I'm not half as desperate as you are.
Charles Gordon Windsor, Jr.:
What?
Daisy:
I would never use you to get at somebody. Your father didn't cheat his way out of law school. You did that all on your own. Deal with it, Junior. You're not even good enough for me.

Ma? I'm not gonna be able to take you to the potluck tomorrow. Charlie invited me to dinner to meet his family. What do you think about that?
Mrs. Araújo:
Guess I could get a ride with Louisa.
Daisy:
I mean about Charlie.
Mrs. Araújo:
He's not a Catholic. Or a Portagee, or poor.
Daisy:
He's not a lot of things.
Mrs. Araújo:
He's not gonna marry you, either.
Daisy:
Are you kidding? Marriage? I'm talking about dinner with his parents.
Mrs. Araújo:
Sure, sure. What do I know, anyway? You think I always looked like this? When I was your age, you think they weren't sniffin around after me? Different clothes, same line. Only I had sense.
Daisy:
Thank you very much.
Mrs. Araújo:
Well, I didn't go jump in the back seat of every sports car that came along.
Daisy:
You're really good at this, Ma.
Mrs. Araújo:
Good at what?
Daisy:
Making me feel like shit. I cursed. Another mark against Daisy, right? I curse, I'm stupid, I'm a slut.
Mrs. Araújo:
All I want is for you to make something of yourself!
Daisy:
Yeah? Well, I'm not gonna go to Yale. You're just gonna have to deal with that.
Mrs. Araújo:
I don't expect you to go to Yale. I'm just so worried about you.

My Best Friend's Wedding - Reflections on Friendship and Heartbreak
George:
Who called? The man of the moment?
Julianne Potter:
No, the opposite, my Michael. Michael O'Neal. Sounds desperate to talk to me.
George:
Oh, the wandering sports writer. Remind me about that one.
Julianne:
Sophomore year at Brown, we had this one hot month. But, of course, you know me, I got restless. So, I get up the nerve to break his heart and he gives me this look, and then he says, "the thing that makes me wanna cry is, I'm losing the best friend I ever had." And at that moment, I knew, I felt the same way. So, I cried, for maybe the third time in my life, kissed him and we've been best friends ever since. We've seen each other through everything, losing jobs, losing parents, losing lovers. We've travelled all over. The best times of my life, drinking and talking, even if it's just over the phone.
George:
God. This is so moving. Kindred spirits, eh?
Julianne:
He's nothing like me, he's like you actually, only straight... I remember this one night in Tucson, like, six years ago, where he takes a razor out of this tiny little dop kit, cut's his finger, takes my hand, does the same to me.
George:
I'm gonna be sick.
Julianne:
He says "swear, if we're 28, if we've never married, we'll marry each other". We never talked about it again. I don't know what made me think of that.
George:
You're about to be 28 in three weeks, right? How old's he?
Julianne:
You think?
George:
Desperate, to talk.

Alice:
You need to start making appointments.
Jerry:
Uh... can I make one now? Say, in a couple of minutes? I can wait if you're busy.
Alice:
Come around.
Alice:
I don't see the connection.
Jerry:
You don't see the connection? Come on. Six major earthquakes in the last three-and-a-half years, and the space shuttle up in orbit for every single one of em. Don't you think that's a little strange?
Alice:
Testing some top-secret seismic weapon?
Jerry:
No, not testing. Using. Nukes are passé. We're talking weapon of the future.
Alice:
Okay, but I still don't see what it has to do with the president.
Jerry:
The president is in Europe at the moment, and tomorrow he'll be, uh, in Turkey. Right here, along this fault line. And they sent up a space shuttle yesterday.
Alice:
Motive?
Jerry:
Motive? How about fifty billion dollars, how's that for a motive? The president's cutting funding for NASA, the milk-cow of the aerospace industry. And that's a lot of milk.
Alice:
Um, so... you're telling me that NASA is going to kill the president of the United States with an earthquake
Jerry:
It's not the kind of thing a Secret Service agent can, like, just throw himself on top of, is it?
Alice:
Now, I have to go. My boss is looking to yell at me.
Jerry:
Oh. Do you want me to talk to him? You know, smooth things out for you?
Alice:
No, Jerry. I want you to go home, or wherever it is that you go. And I want you to make an appointment next time. Please? You can't just keep bursting in here.
Jerry:
That's... it's just what they'd be expecting me to do. If I make an appointment —
Alice:
Jerry. I have a serious job here. I have a boss I must answer to. Do you understand that?
Jerry:
I'm sorry. You're right.
Alice:
Use your common sense.
Jerry:
Okay. Okay, deal. So, are you gonna warn him?
Alice:
Who?
Jerry: [exasperated sigh]
The president.
Alice:
I'm not gonna promise you anything, okay?

Erin Brockovich - The Value of Lives Over Money
Ms. Sanchez:
Let's be honest here. $20 million dollars is more money then these people have ever dreamed of.
Erin Brockovich:
Oh see, now that pisses me off. First of all, since the demur we have more than 400 plaintiffs and... let's be honest, we all know there are more out there. They may not be the most sophisticated people but they do know how to divide and $20 million isn't shit when you split it between them. Second of all, these people don't dream about being rich. They dream about being able to watch their kids swim in a pool without worrying that they'll have to have a hysterectomy at the age of twenty. Like Rosa Diaz, a client of ours. Or have their spine deteriorate, like Stan Blume, another client of ours. So before you come back here with another lame ass offer, I want you to think real hard about what your spine is worth, Mr. Walker. Or what you might expect someone to pay you for your uterus, Ms. Sanchez. Then you take out your calculator and you multiply that number by a hundred. Anything less than that is a waste of our time.
Erin Brockovich:
By the way, we had that water brought in special for you folks. Came from a well in Hinkley.
Ms. Sanchez: [''Eyes the water warily and sets the glass back down'']

So it was good that I didn't go through with it because it would have been a lie. But you - you knew the real me.
Ike Graham:
Yes, I did.

I didn't. And you being the one at the end of the aisle didn't just fix that.

Runaway Bride - Confession of Revenge and Impurity
Maggie Carpenter:
Bless me Father for I have sinned. My last confession was... well. Anyway, I have sorta a technical question. I've been having bad thoughts, really bad thoughts.
Priest Brian:
Of an impure nature?
Maggie Carpenter:
No, No, I want to destroy this man's life, career everything. I want revenge. Now on a sins scale how bad is that? Can I Hail Mary my way out of that?

Runaway Bride - Maggie's Unique Wedding Preferences
Maggie Carpenter:
Benedict.
Ike Graham:
Arnold.
Maggie Carpenter:
I love Eggs Benedict, I hate every other kind. I hate big weddings with everybody staring. I'd like to get married on a weekday while everybody's at work. And when I ride off into the sunset, I want my own horse.
Ike Graham:
Should I be writing this down?

Runaway Bride - Rural Misunderstandings and Media Misrepresentation
Maggie Carpenter:
Dear Editor: Greetings from the sticks. Perhaps you believe that a rural education is focused mainly on hog calling and tractor maintenance rather than reading. Why else would you print a piece of fiction about me and call it fact? I suppose Mr.Graham was too busy thinking up slanderous statements about how I dump men for kicks to bother with something silly like accuracy in reporting, which is understandable because with a man-eater like me on the loose, who has time to check facts? That's why I was surprised to find Mr. Graham's editor was a woman. Call me a sentimental fool, but I sort of hoped we man-eaters could stick together. Anyway, I'm just dropping you big-city folk this little note to say that I have thought of a ritual sacrifice that would satisfy my current appetite: Ike Graham's column on a platter. Yours truly, Maggie Carpenter. P.S., I have enclosed a list of the gross factual misinterpretations in your article. There are fifteen.
