 Topol QuotationMovie Title: For Your Eyes Only (1981) as Columbo: Columbo : You may need this. I'm a good judge of man. You have what the Greeks call "thrausos" - guts! Columbo : By tomorrow, we'll be good friends. Let us drink to that. Movie Title: Fiddler on the Roof (1971) as Tevye: Tevye : As the good book says, when a poor man eats a chicken, one of them is sick. Mendel : Where does the book say that? Tevye : Well, it doesn't say that exactly, but somewhere there is something about a chicken. Tevye : [singing] Is this the little girl I carried? Is this the little boy at play? Golde : [singing] I don't remember growing older. When did they? Perchik : In this world it is the wealthy who are criminals. Someday their wealth will be ours. Tevye : That would be nice. If they would agree, I would agree. Tevye : As Abraham said, "I am a stranger in a strange land..." Rabbi's Son : Moses said that. Tevye : Ah. Well, as King David said, "I am slow of speech, and slow of tongue." Rabbi's Son : That was also Moses. Tevye : For a man who was slow of speech he talked a lot. Perchik : Money is the world's curse. Tevye : May the Lord smite me with it. And may I never recover. Golde : Grandmother Tzeitel. How did she look? Tevye : For a woman who has been dead for thirty years she looked pretty well. Tevye : As the good book says, if you spit in the air, it lands in your face. [Talking to God] Tevye : I know, I know. We are your chosen people. But, once in a while, can't you choose someone else? [Hodel is leaving on a train for Siberia] Hodel : Papa, God alone knows when we shall see each other again. Tevye : Then we will leave it in His hands. [Perchik and Hodel have announced their engagement] Tevye : He loves her. Love, it's a new starting. On the other hand, our old ways were once new, weren't they? On the other hand, they decided without parents, without the matchmaker. On the other hand, did Adam and Eve have a matchmaker? Oh, yes they did. And it seems these two have the same Matchmaker. [to God] Tevye : Sometimes I wonder, when it gets too quiet up there, if you are thinking, "What kind of mischief can I play on my friend Tevye?" Motel : Times are changing, Reb Tevye. The thing is, over a year ago, your daughter, Tzeitel, and I gave each other our pledge that we would marry. Tevye : You gave each other a... pledge? Tzeitel : Yes, Papa. We gave each other our pledge. [Tevye admires the lavishness of a butcher's home] Tevye : And all this from killing innocent animals. Lazar Wolf : How is your brother-in-law? In America? Tevye : Oh, he's doing very well. Lazar Wolf : Oh, he wrote you? Tevye : No, not lately. Lazar Wolf : Then how do you know? Tevye : If he was doing badly, he would write. Constable : You're an honest, decent person. Even though you are a Jew. Tevye : Oh... THANK you, your honor. How often does a man get a compliment like that? Tevye : Thank you, your honor. You are a good man. If I may say so, it's too bad you're not a Jew. Constable : [laughs] That's what I like about you, Tevye. You're always joking. Tevye : [is not laughing] Lazar Wolf : Have a drink? Tevye : I won't insult you by saying no. [to Chava] Tevye : As the good book says 'Each shall seek his own kind'. In other words a bird may love a fish but where would they build a home together? Tevye : When I get angry even flies don't dare to fly. Tevye : A fiddler on the roof. Sounds crazy, no? But here, in our little village of Anatevka, you might say every one of us is a fiddler on the roof. Trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune without breaking his neck. It isn't easy. You may ask 'Why do we stay up there if it's so dangerous?' Well, we stay because Anatevka is our home. And how do we keep our balance? That I can tell you in one word: tradition. Tevye : Traditions, traditions. Without our traditions our lives would be as shaky as... as a fiddler on the roof! Tevye : [to God] It may sound like I'm complaining, but I'm not. After all, with your help, I'm starving to death. Tevye : They gave each other a pledge? Unheard of. Absurd. Perchik : Your daughter has a quick and witty tongue. Tevye : Yes, the wit she gets from me, as the good book says... Golde : The good book can wait, it's time for Sabbath. Tevye : The tongue she gets from her mother. Lazar Wolf : We can fight to keep our home. Constable : Against our militia, our army? I highly advise against it. Tevye : I have some advice for you, get off my land. This is still my home, my land. Get off my land. Tevye : I've always dreamed of having a son, but I've dreamed that he would be a little younger than myself. Lazar Wolf : I go to Chicago, America. Tevye : I go to New York, America. Hey, We can be neighbors. Tevye : You may ask, how did this tradition get started? I'll tell you... I don't know. Movie Title: Flash Gordon (1980) as Zarkov / Doctor Hans Zarkov: Zarkov : We are only interested in friendship. Why do you attack us? The Emperor Ming : Why not? Doctor Hans Zarkov : What do you find? The moon out of orbit? Munson : By more than 12 degrees. This must be some sort of mistake. Doctor Hans Zarkov : No, it's no mistake... IT'S AN ATTACK! I've been right all these years! Doctor Hans Zarkov : Get your toothbrush and whatever! [Munson refuses to go aboard Zarkov's space ship] Doctor Hans Zarkov : I swear, Munson, I'll shoot! Munson : Get shot or go up in that thing? What's the difference? Doctor Hans Zarkov : This way, you'll be giving your life to save the Earth! Haven't you any spirit at all? Munson : NO! Doctor Hans Zarkov : [to dead Munson] Sorry, Munson. Missed your opportunity. Doctor Hans Zarkov : Look at them! The poor wretches are just waiting for someone to lead them in revolt...! Flash Gordon : [annoyed] Oh, are you looking at ME, Zarkov? The Emperor Ming : Every thousand years, I test each life system in the Universe. I visit it with mysteries, earthquakes, unpredicted eclipses, strange craters in the wilderness... If these are taken as natural, I judge that system ignorant and harmless - I spare it. But if the Hand of Ming is recognized in these events, I judge that system dangerous to us. I call upon the great god Dyzan, and for his greater glory... [leans forward, smiling] The Emperor Ming : ... and for our mutual pleasure... [leans back again] The Emperor Ming : ... I destroy it utterly. Doctor Hans Zarkov : You're saying... it's my fault the Earth is being destroyed? The Emperor Ming : [grinning] Precisely... Doctor! Prince Vultan : [incredulous] What is this? Doctor Hans Zarkov : [proud] Humanity. Prince Vultan : Madness! Dale Arden : [dreamily] Oh, Flash! |
