 Ray Milland Quotation"The greatest drawback in making pictures is the fact that film makers have to eat." Movie Title: So Evil My Love (1948) as Mark Bellis: Kitty Feathers : Oh, Mark! You say things so prettily. But I never quite know what's going on inside your head. Mark Bellis : One day I'll tell you. You may not like it. Mark Bellis : Scruples again? Olivia Harwood : No. I'm beyond that now. Movie Title: Battlestar Galactica (1978) as Sire Uri: Sire Uri : Warriors are always the last to recognize the inevitability of change. Movie Title: A Woman of Distinction (1950) as Prof. Alec Stevenson: Prof. Alec Stevenson : You are the coldest woman I've ever met in my life! Miss Middlecott, I made a sad mistake when I brought you that locket. What I should have brought you is a suit of long woolen underwear. Movie Title: X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963) as Dr. James Xavier: Dr. James Xavier : We're blind to all but a tenth of the universe. Dr. Sam Brand : My dear friend, only the gods see everything. Dr. James Xavier : My dear doctor, I'm closing in on the gods! Movie Title: Irene (1940) as Donald 'Don' Marshall: Donald 'Don' Marshall : I understand discretion is your middle name. Bretherton, the Butler : Mr. Marshall, if butlers told all they knew, society would be a shambles. Movie Title: Terror in the Wax Museum (1973) as Harry Flexner: [after Harry shows up to work with a hangover] Julia Hawthorn : You're late and you look a disgrace! Harry Flexner : I feel splendid! Movie Title: The Thing with Two Heads (1972) as Dr. Maxwell Kirshner: Dr. Maxwell Kirshner : Philip, get me another body. Dr. Maxwell Kirshner : What the hell is the matter with you, Moss? Get back to bed! Jack Moss : You jive. Dr. Maxwell Kirshner : Williams! If you cut off my head, that'll be murder! Movie Title: Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby (1976) as Roman: Roman : There in a house of God. Minnie : I told you they were in some kind of a store. Roman : Shut up! All of you! Movie Title: California (1947) as Johnny Trumbo: Johnny Trumbo : No court would try you, Captain, because no one would hold that a black was a man. He was an animal which you beat and chained, and all he had to offer up against you was a prayer. Pharaoh Coffin : Bilge, Mr. Trumbo, bilge. Most men love the chains they wear. They need a master the way they need their mothers. I've heard such talk from pulpits, "the meek shall inherit the earth." No, Mr. Trumbo, the earth belongs to the men who make the law, and the law belongs to the men who can lay it down. Johnny Trumbo : I'm sorry, Gramps, it looks like I'll be holding you back. Michael Fabian : I'm in no hurry. The earth and the sun and the sky will still be there when we get there, Johnny. Johnny Trumbo : Yeah, but not the gold, Gramps, not the gold. Movie Title: Rhubarb (1951) as Eric Yeager: Eric Yeager : [to Rhubarb] Now listen ya lug, you're in the chips now, the blue chips. So stop acting like a goon squad. This is an okay dame. She doesn't want a nickel of your dough. [to Polly] Eric Yeager : stroke him very gently on his head. Polly Sickles : Why, he doesn't even hiss. Eric Yeager : You're now a member of the club. Ball Player : A Rhubarb. It's a donnybrook... a dust-up... Eric Yeager : [takes phone] Lady, you know what happens at a sale, when two women get hold of the same dress? THAT's a Rhubarb! [slams phone down] Eric Yeager : . Movie Title: The Big Clock (1948) as George Stroud: Pauline York : You know, Earl has a passion for obscurity. He won't even have his biography in 'Who's Who'. George Stroud : Sure. He doesn't want to let his left hand know whose pocket the right one is picking. Movie Title: Dial M for Murder (1954) as Tony Wendice: Tony Wendice : People don't commit murder on credit. Tony Wendice : Do you really believe in the perfect murder? C.A. Swan : Where's the nearest police station? Tony Wendice : Opposite the church, about two blocks away. C.A. Swan : Suppose I walk over there right now. Tony Wendice : What would you tell them? C.A. Swan : Everything. Tony Wendice : Everything? All about 'Mr. Adams' and 'Mr. Wilson'? C.A. Swan : I'll simply say that you're trying to blackmail me into... Tony Wendice : Into? C.A. Swan : ...murdering your wife. Tony Wendice : I almost wish you would. If Margot heard that, we'd have the biggest laugh of our lives. C.A. Swan : Aren't you forgetting something? Tony Wendice : Am I? C.A. Swan : You've told be quite a lot tonight. Tony Wendice : So what about it? C.A. Swan : Suppose I tell them about the time you followed her to that studio in Chelsea and watched them cooking spaghetti and all that other rubbish. Wouldn't that ring a bell? Tony Wendice : It certainly would. They'll assume you followed her there yourself. C.A. Swan : Me? Why should I? Tony Wendice : Why should you then steal her handbag? Why should you then write her all those blackmail notes? Can you prove you didn't? You certainly can't prove I did. It will be a straight case of your word against mine. C.A. Swan : Smart, aren't you? Tony Wendice : No, not really. I've just had time to think things out. Put myself in your shoes. That's why I know you're going to agree to this. C.A. Swan : What makes you think I'll agree? Tony Wendice : For the same reason that a donkey with a stick behind him and a carrot in front always goes forwards and never backwards. C.A. Swan : ...Tell me more about the carrot. Tony Wendice : [on the phone with Margo] I'm glad we don't have to go to Maureen's she's such a filthy cook. Movie Title: Arise, My Love (1940) as Tom Martin: [Father Jacinto, in Tom's cell, prepares him for death] Father Jacinto : This is my first execution. Tom Martin : Don't worry, Father, it's mine too. Tom Martin : You know, it's a funny thing that you of all people should be sitting beside me. You're precisely my type. Augusta Nash : Mmm-hmm. How long were you in that prison? Movie Title: The Premature Burial (1962) as Guy Carrell: Guy Carrell : Can you possibly conceive it. The unendurable oppression of the lungs, the stifling fumes of the earth, the rigid embrace of the coffin, the blackness of absolute night and the silence, like an overwhelming sea. Movie Title: The Lost Weekend (1945) as Don Birnam: Don Birnam : Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. I can't take quiet desperation! Don Birnam : It shrinks my liver, doesn't it, Nat? It pickles my kidneys, yeah. But what it does to the mind? It tosses the sandbags overboard so the balloon can soar. Suddenly I'm above the ordinary. I'm competent. I'm walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls. I'm one of the great ones. I'm Michaelangelo, molding the beard of Moses. I'm Van Gogh painting pure sunlight. I'm Horowitz, playing the Emperor Concerto. I'm John Barrymore before movies got him by the throat. I'm Jesse James and his two brothers, all three of them. I'm W. Shakespeare. And out there it's not Third Avenue any longer, it's the Nile. Nat, it's the Nile and down it moves the barge of Cleopatra. |
