Don't you hate that?

Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it's necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfortable?

I don't know. That's a good question.
Mia:
That's when you know you've found somebody really special: you can just shut the fuck up for a minute and comfortably share silence.

Henry & June - Nostalgia for a Lost Moment
June Miller: [Late at night in bed with Anaïs]
I don't know why, I keep on thinking of this little Chinese restaurant that Henry and I used to go after I got off work. He'd wait for me outside the dance hall at two in the mornin', then we'd rush through the freezin cold holding each other tight. We'd get there just before closing time sit in a booth by the window eatin chow mein, watchin the snow swirl by. There was some kind of unbelievable thrill in the air between us. I feel kind of haunted by it now. Chin Lees. Its funny, it seems like a dream.

Willie:
Let me ask you something; can you think of anything better than making love to an attractive stranger... with just an oil light to guide your way? Can you think of anything better?
Andera:
Going back to Chicago. Ice cold martini. Van Morrison.
Willie:
Sunday papers. Got ya.

Beautiful Girls - The Dilemma of Love's Initial Excitement
Willie:
You know how it is, the beginnings? When you first fall in love and you can't eat, you can't sleep and getting a call from her, it makes your day. It's like seeing a shooting star.
Andera:
It's the best.
Willie:
Yeah, but, inevitably it goes away. It quiets down. So, this is my thing see, why get married now? Why not have two, three more of those beginning things before I, you know, settle into the big fade?
Andera:
The big fade, that's an awful way to put it.

Eight months.

Right.
Andera:
You know there are fours words I need to hear before I go to sleep. Four little words. "Good night sweet girl." That's all it takes. I'm easy, I know, but a guy who can muster up those four words is a guy I want to stay with.

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 - Youth and Madness in a Deadly Encounter
The Bride: [narrating]
The young girl in the school uniform is O-Ren's personal bodyguard, 17-year-old Gogo Yubari. Gogo may be young, but what she lacks in age, she makes up for in madness.
Japanese Businessman:
Do you like Ferraris?
Gogo Yubari: [smacks down beverage bottle]
Ferrari? Italian trash. Do you want to screw me?
Gogo:
Don't laugh! Do you want to screw me, yes or no?
Businessman:
Yes.
Gogo:
How about now, big boy? Do you still wish to penetrate me? Or is it I … who has penetrated you?
The Bride:
See what I mean?

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 - Unresolved Conflicts and Parental Appeals
Vernita:
Look, if I could go back in a machine, I would. But I can't. All can tell you is that I'm a different person now.
The Bride:
Oh great. I don't care.
Vernita:
Be that as it may, I know I don't deserve your mercy or your forgiveness. However, I beseech you for both on behalf of my daughter.
The Bride:
Bitch. You can stop right there. Just because I have no wish to murder you before the eyes of your daughter does not mean parading her around in front of me is going to inspire sympathy. You and I have unfinished business. And not a goddamn fucking thing you've done in the subsequent four years including getting knocked up is going to change that.
Vernita:
So when do we do this?
The Bride:
It all depends. When do you want to die? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow?
Vernita:
How about tonight, bitch?
The Bride:
Splendid. Where?
Vernita:
There's a baseball diamond where I coach Little League about a mile from here. We meet there around two-thirty in the morning dressed all in black. Your hair in a black stocking. And we have us a knife fight. We won't be bothered. Now...I have to fix Nikki's cereal.

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 - Tension Between Two Mothers Unfolds
Vernita:
So I suppose it's a little late for an apology, huh?
The Bride:
You suppose correctly.
Vernita:
Look, bitch...I need to know if you're going to start any more shit around my baby girl.
The Bride:
You can relax for now. I'm not going to murder you in front of your child, okay?
Vernita:
That's being more rational than Bill led me to believe you were capable of.
The Bride:
It's mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality.
Vernita:
Look. I know I fucked you over. I fucked you over bad. I wish to God I hadn't, but I did. You have every right to want to get even.
The Bride: [draws a square in the air with a finger]
No, no, no, no, no. No, to get even, even-Steven? I would have to kill you...go up to Nikki's room, kill her...then wait for your husband, the good Dr. Bell, to come home and kill him. That would be even, Vernita. That'd be about square.

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 - A Message of Mercy and Revenge
The Bride: [Bill]
As I said before, I've allowed you to keep your wicked life for two reasons. And the second reason is so you can tell him in person everything that happened here tonight. I want him to witness the extent of my mercy by witnessing your deformed body. I want you to tell him all the information you just told me. I want him to know what I know. I want him to know I want him to know. And I want them all to know they'll all soon be as dead as O-Ren.

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 - The Rise of O-Ren Ishii
The Bride: [about O-Ren]
O-Ren Ishii was born on an American military base in Tokyo, Japan. The half-Japanese, half-Chinese American army brat made her first acquaintance with death at the age of 9. It was that age she witnessed the death of her parents at the hands of Japan's most ruthless Yakuza boss, Boss Matsumoto. She swore revenge. Luckily, for her, Boss Matsumoto was a pedophile. At 11, she got her revenge. By 20, she was one of the top female assassins in the world. At 25, she did her part in the killing of 9 innocent people, including my unborn daughter, in a small wedding chapel in El Paso, Texas. But on that day, four years ago, she made one big mistake. She should've killed 10.
