Richard Williams Now don't do that. Don't do that to me.

The Legend of Bagger Vance

Rediscovering Your Authentic Self

Bagger Vance Yep... Inside each and every one of us is one true authentic swing... Something we was born with... Something that's ours and ours alone... Something that can't be taught to you or learned... Something that got to be remembered... Over time the world can, rob us of that swing... It get buried inside us under all our would haves and could haves and should haves... Some folk even forget what their swing was like...

Reflections on Survival and Social De-evolution

Robert Neville Day 1001. Uh, we came in close contact with a hive today. Blood tests confirm that I am immune to both the airborne and contact strains. Canines remain immune to airborne strain only. You can't go running into the dark, dummy. Vaccine trials continue, I'm still unable to transfer my immunity to infected hosts. The Krippen Virus is... elegant. Just fishing in the dark, son. Hm, a behavioral note, um, an infected male exposed himself to sunlight today. Now, it's possible decreased brain function or the growing scarcity of food is causing them to... ignore their basic survival instincts. Social de-evolution appears complete. Typical human behavior is now entirely absent.

A Father's Commitment to Protect His Children

Richard Williams When I was a little boy, I grew up in Shreveport. One day, my father took me to town. He give me this money to pay this White man for something. Back in them days, Black folks weren't allowed to touch White peoples. So I went to give the man this money, and I accidently touched his hand. And he start beating on me. He knocked me down, his friends come over, they all start stomping on me and beating on me. And I look up and I see my father in the crowd, and he took off running. Left me there with these grown men beating on me. Now, I haven't been no great daddy... but I've never done nothing but try to protect you. This next step you about to take, it would... It would be hard for anybody. But for you, you not gonna just be representing you, you gonna be representing every little Black girl on Earth. And you gonna be the one gotta go through that gate. And I just never wanted you to look up... and see your daddy running away.

Enemy of the State

Surveillance and Technology in Modern Society

Edward "Brill" Lyle The government's been in bed with the entire telecommunications industry since the forties. They've infected everything. They get into your bank statements, computer files, email, listen to your phone calls...

Robert Clayton Dean My wife's been saying that for years.

Lyle Every wire, every airwave. The more technology used, the easier it is for them to keep tabs on you. It's a brave new world out there. At least it'd better be. There it goes. It's some kind of simple encryption.

[analyzes disk]

Dean Oh, conspiracy theorists of the world, unite.

Lyle It's more than a theory with me. I'm a former conspirer. I used to work for the NSA. I was a communication analyst. Listen to international calls, calls from foreign nationalists. That GPS tracking device we found in your cellular telephone? I designed one of the first models in that series. ] has 18 acres of mainframe computers underground. You're talking on the phone and you use the word, "bomb," "president," "Allah," any of a hundred keywords, the computer recognizes it, automatically records it, red flags it for analysis; that was twenty years ago. You know the Hubble Telescope that looks up to the stars? They've got over a hundred spy satellites looking down at us. That's classified. In the old days, we actually had to tap a wire into your phone line. Now calls bouncin around on satellite, they snatch right out of the air.

Contrasting Perspectives on Romantic Preferences

Hitch Allegra? As in "Allegra Cole"?

Albert I realize I'm not her usual kinda guy.

The Importance of First Impressions in Romance

Hitch So, tell me about her.

Vance Have you ever met someone, and you knew right away she was gonna be important to you? Not just because of her looks, but that X factor?

Hitch How'd you meet her?

Vance Actually, I was in a shop buying pajamas for my mom-

Hitch And by that, of course, you mean you were buying lingerie for another woman.

Vance Yes. You can't help where you meet somebody. And the lingerie is for a woman I'm no longer seeing... But anyway, the girl I met, the one I was talking about... She's so sweet, funny, Southern. She gives me her number... Now she won't return my phone calls. I don't know what it is about her. I just can't get her out of my mind. You know? Food has lost its taste. Colors, they seem dull. Things that used to matter... I don't know, they just no longer do. I think things aren't gonna snap back unless I... Unless I bang her.

Hitch ...Excuse me?

Vance You know, bang her. Clear my head. Get in, get off, get out.

Hitch ...I think you may have misunderstood what I do, exactly.

Vance No, I was told that you help guys get in there!

[taken back]

Hitch Right, but see, here's the thing - my clients actually like women. "Hit it and quit it" is not my thing.

Vance Let me make one thing clear to you, rabbi, I need professional help.

Hitch Well, that is for damn certain. And I'm glad you can admit it because generally, that's the hardest part.

Vance You see what I'm doing? This is what I'm about - power suit, power tie, power steering. People can wince, cry, beg, but eventually they do what I want.

[grabs Hitch by the wrist]

Hitch Oh! So that's, like, a metaphor?

[not intimidated]

Vance Oh, yeah.

Hitch Right. Well, see, I'm more of a literal kind of guy. So when I do this... This is more like me saying that I will literally break your shit off if you ever touch me again. Mmkay, pumpkin?

[he reverses the grip, twists Vance's arm back and slams him on the table]

Understanding Signals in Romantic Encounters

Hitch Now, on the one hand, it is very difficult for a man to even speak to someone who looks like you. But, on the other hand, should that be your problem?

Sara So life's kind of hard all around.

Hitch Not if you pay attention. I mean, you're sending all the right signals - no earrings, heels under two inches, your hair is pulled back, you're wearing reading glasses with no book, drinking a Grey Goose martini, which means you had a hell of a week and a beer just wouldn't do it. And if that wasn't clear enough, there's always the "fuck off" that you have stamped on your forehead. because who is going to believe there is a man out there that can sit down beside a woman he doesn't know and genuinely be interested in who she is, what she does, without his own personal agenda?

Sara Yeah, I wouldn't even know what that would look like. So what would a guy like that say?

Hitch Well, he'd say, "My name is Alex Hitchens and I'm a consultant," but she wouldn't be interested in that because she would be just counting the seconds until he left...

Sara ... Thinking he was like every other guy...

Hitch ... Which life experience has taught her is a virtual certainty... but then he'd ask her name, and what she did for a living and she might blow him off, or she might say... ?

Sara I'm Sara Melas and I run the gossip column at The Standard." Then he would ask all these penetrating questions about it because he's sincerely, if atypically, interested...

Hitch No.

Sara No?

Hitch He'd be interested... but he would see that there was no way of possibly making her realize, that he was for real.

Sara Ah...He could be funny, and charming, and refreshingly original.

Hitch Wouldn't help.

Sara Don't ya hate it when that happens?

Hitch Not really... they'd probably both lead the lives they were headed toward, and my guess is... they'd do just fine. It's a pleasure to have met you, Sara Melas.
