 Thomas Mitchell Quotation"A man looks bigger in the bathtub than he does in the ocean." Movie Title: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) as Clopin: Clopin : Here is your contest. Try to cut every bell out of this armor suit. If a single bell jingles, you lose. Gringoire : And then? Clopin : And then you hang! Gringoire : [pondering for a moment] Can you do it? Clopin : I'm above that sort of thing. I cut throats. Movie Title: The Black Swan (1942) as Tom 'Tommy' Blue: Jamie Waring : The occasion seems a little lacking in enthusiasm, Henry. Capt. Sir Henry Morgan : I imagined we'd meet with some slight disapproval. Tom 'Tommy' Blue : At least we don't have to shoot our way in. Capt. Sir Henry Morgan : You do not *vote* pirates off the seas. You engage them, rake, and scuttle them. My lords and gentlemen, we have ships, brave captains, and fine crews. How do you stand on that, lads? Are you ready to do a little law-abiding killing for king and country? Tom 'Tommy' Blue : It's better than none! Tom 'Tommy' Blue : [referring to Margarent Denby] If you kick her in the heart she'll break your leg. Jamie Waring : Church bells. Tom 'Tommy' Blue : Aye. Some people likes to hear them. I like trumpets better. [one of Leech's crew sits on the hatch over the hold containing the imprisoned seamen of the Revenge] Tom 'Tommy' Blue : You may lock me in a hole, you varmints, but you can't sit on me. Here's to you. Bottoms up! [Tommy jabs the pirate with a knife] Movie Title: Buffalo Bill (1944) as Ned Buntline: Ned Buntline : You know the Indian, Cody, don't you? William F. 'Buffalo Bill' Cody : Nobody knows the Indian. I've had to fight them since I was fourteen. Pony Express, stage driver, scouting. Indians never do what you'd expect. Movie Title: Gone with the Wind (1939) as Gerald O'Hara: Gerald O'Hara : It will come to you, this love of the land. There's no gettin' away from it if you're Irish. Gerald O'Hara : Do you mean to tell me, Katie Scarlett O'Hara, that Tara, that land doesn't mean anything to you? Why, land is the only thing in the world worth workin' for, worth fightin' for, worth dyin' for, because it's the only thing that lasts. Movie Title: Stagecoach (1939) as Dr. Josiah Boone: Marshal Curly Wilcox : You can find another wife. Chris : Sure I can find another wife. But she take my rifle and horse. Oh, I'll never sell her. I love her so much. I beat her with a whip and she never gets tired. Dr. Josiah Boone : Your wife? Chris : No, my horse. I can find another wife easy, yes, but not a horse like that! The Ringo Kid : That was my kid brother that broke his arm. You did a good job, Doc, even if you were drunk. Dr. Josiah Boone : Thank you, son. Professional compliments are always pleasing. [the stagecoach occupants vote on whether to continue without a cavalry escort] Marshal Curly Wilcox : You, Doc? Dr. Josiah Boone : I'm not only a philosopher, sir, I'm a fatalist. Somewhere, sometime, there may be the right bullet or the wrong bottle waiting for Josiah Boone. Why worry about when or where? Dr. Josiah Boone : I'll take that shotgun, Luke. Luke Plummer : You'll take it in the belly if you don't get out of my way. Dr. Josiah Boone : Jerry, I'll admit as one man to another that, economically, I haven't been of much value to you. But do you suppose you could put one on credit? Jerry (bartender) : If talk was money, Doc, you'd be the best customer I had. [last lines] Dr. Josiah Boone : Well, they're saved from the blessings of civilization. Marshal Curly Wilcox : Yeah. [laughs] Marshal Curly Wilcox : Doc, I'll buy you a drink. Dr. Josiah Boone : Just one. Dr. Josiah Boone : [drunkenly to his hideous landlady upon eviction] Is this the face that wrecked 1000 ships and burned the towerless tops of Illium? Farewell, fare Helen. Movie Title: It's a Wonderful Life (1946) as Uncle Billy: Uncle Billy : After all, Potter, some people like George HAD to stay at home. Not every heel was in Germany and Japan. Movie Title: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) as Diz Moore: Diz Moore : [dictating into phone] In protest, the whole Senate body rose and walked out. Clarissa Saunders : No! No, not that straight stuff. Now listen, kick it up, get on his side, fight for him! Understand? Diz Moore : You love this monkey - don't you? Clarissa Saunders : What do you think? Now listen, go to work. Do as I tell you. Diz Moore : [into phone] Throw out that last, take this. This is the most titanic battle of modern times. A David without even a slingshot rises to do battle against the mighty Goliath, the Taylor machine, allegedly crooked inside and out. Yeah, and for my money, you can cut out the "allegedly." |
