 William Hurt QuotationMovie Title: Second Best (1994) as Graham Holt / Graham: [Remembering his mother's death] Graham : Dad wasn't making much sense. His hands were like injured birds looking for a safe place to roost. Graham : I know where you've gone. I know where you're hiding. To have nothing, to feel nothing, to be nothing. It doesn't work, I've tried it. Anything's possible, Jamie, except feeling nothing. That's never possible. Graham Holt : They were a devoted couple, they showed it. Uncle Turpin : You mean she convinced him that she'd go to pieces if he strayed even as far as the end of the garden to do a widdle on his own. Movie Title: The Big Chill (1983) as Nick: Meg : The last time I spoke with Alex, we had a fight. I yelled at him. Nick : That's probably why he killed himself. Sam Weber : Do you think we're all trying trying to avoid dealing with Alex? You know, every time it comes up somebody changes the subject. Nick : Hey. It's a dead subject. Nick : Wise up, folks. We're all alone out there and tomorrow we're going out there again. Chloe : You remind me of Alex. Nick : I ain't him. Chloe : Alex and I made love the night before he died. It was fantastic. [pause] Nick : He went out with a bang, not a whimper. Sam Weber : Hey, Nick? You know, we go back a long way, and I'm not gonna piss that away 'cause you're higher than a kite. Nick : Wrong, a long time ago we knew each other for a short period of time; you don't know anything about me. It was easy back then. No one had a cushier berth than we did. It's not surprising our friendship could survive that. It's only out there in the real world that it gets tough. Sam Weber : What's this? Nick : I'm not sure. Sam Weber : What's it about? Nick : I don't know. Sam Weber : Who's that? Nick : I think the guy in the hat did something terrible. Sam Weber : Like what? Nick : You're so analytical. Sometimes you have to let art... flow... over you. Sam Weber : I'm hungry. I had this really dirty dream. Nick : Was it about Karen? Sam Weber : Why do you say that? Nick : Why should anything have changed? Sam Weber : You're the one she always wanted. Nick : In the old days, I wasn't emotionally equipped to satisfy her. Now, as we all know, the equipment doesn't work at all. Sam Weber : [wincing] Why do we have to talk about that? Harold : I always thought masturbation was the ultimate act of self-absorption. Sam Weber : Do you jerk off? Harold : Does a bear have fleas? Sam Weber : No, no, "Does a bear shit in the woods?" Harold : Does a bear jerk off? Nick : You know, I shit in the woods, but I can't jerk off. Nick : Since when did you get so friendly with <i>cops</i>? Harold? Harold : You know you're fuckin' stupid? Stupid, yeah. First off, that cop has twice kept this house from being ripped off. Happens to be a hell of a guy. And you... [turns away] Nick : Come on, Harold. What is it? Harold : What is it with you? Is jail another "experience" you want to "try?" See what that's "like?" You know, I live here. This place means something to me. I'm dug in. I don't need this shit.

Movie Title: Broadcast News (1987) as Tom Grunnick / Tom Granick: Tom Granick : It's not that I'm down on myself. Trust me. I stink. Tom Grunnick : What do you do when your real life exceeds your dreams? Aaron Altman : Keep it to yourself. Tom Grunnick : I'm going to miss you... you're a prick in a good way... I'm sorry. Aaron Altman : No, I liked how that made me *sound*. Movie Title: Changing Lanes (2002) as Sponsor: Sponsor : What happened in court today? Doyle Gipson : I'm in a bar. What does that tell you? Sponsor : It tells me that you're really angry. And that anger has gotten you into the one place in the world you shouldn't be. Sponsor : You know, booze isn't really your drug of choice anyway. You're addicted to chaos. For some of us, it's coke. For some of us, it's bourbon. But you? You got hooked on disaster. Sponsor : What you saw today is that everything decent is held together by a covenant. An agreement NOT to go batshit. You broke the contract. Movie Title: Trial by Jury (1994) as Tommy Vesey: Tommy Vesey : The name of the game, Valerie, is not who dies but who dies first. That'll be your boy.

Matty : [to Ned] You aren't too bright. I like that in a man. Ned : What else do you like? Lazy? Ugly? Horny? I got 'em all. Matty : You don't look lazy. Peter : I think I've underestimated you Ned. I don't know why it took me so long. You've started using your incompetence as a weapon. Ned : My defense was evolving. You guys got scared. Ned : You can stand here with me if you want but you'll have to agree not to talk about the heat. Matty : I'm a married woman. Ned : Meaning what? Matty : Meaning I'm not looking for company. Ned : Then you should have said I'm a happily married woman. Ned : Can I buy you a drink? Matty : I told you. I've got a husband. Ned : I'll buy him one too. Matty : He's out of town. Ned : My favorite kind. We'll drink to him. Matty : Only comes up on weekends. Ned : I'm liking him better all the time. Ned : You better take me up on this quick. In about 45 minutes, I'm going to give up and go away. Ned : I need someone to take care of me, someone to rub my tired muscles, smooth out my sheets. Matty : Get married.

Matty : What are you doing in Pine Haven? Ned : I'm no yokel, I was all the way to Miami once. Matty : My temperature runs a couple of degrees high, around a hundred. I don't mind. It's the engine or something. Ned : Maybe you need a tune up. Matty : Don't tell me. You have just the right tool. Ned : Sometimes the shit comes down so heavy I feel like I should wear a hat. Ned : I like this place; it's got a nice feel. Matty : You were on top. Ned : So it could use a better mattress. See to it will you. Matty : Yes sir. Ned : How's the cop business Oscar?

Frank Quinlan : An angel that says "pecker." Pansy Milbank : Language. Frank Quinlan : Bring him back. Michael : That's not my area. Frank Quinlan : Would someone please tell me what his area is? Don't give me that "that's not my area" stuff. BRING HIM BACK. Movie Title: Dune (2000) as Duke Leto Atreides: Duke Leto Atreides : On Caladan, we ruled with sea and air power. Here, on Arrakis, we need desert power. Movie Title: Dark City (1998) as Inspector Frank Bumstead: John Murdoch : When was the last time you remember doing something during the day? Inspector Frank Bumstead : What do you mean? John Murdoch : I just mean during the day. Daylight. When was the last time you remember seeing it? And I'm not talking about some distant, half-forgotten childhood memory, I mean like yesterday. Last week. Can you come up with a single memory? You can't, can you? You know something, I don't think the sun even... exists... in this place. 'Cause I've been up for hours, and hours, and hours, and the night never ends here. John Murdoch : Here, let me ask you a question. You heard of a place called Shell Beach? Inspector Frank Bumstead : Sure. John Murdoch : Do you know how to get there? Inspector Frank Bumstead : Yeah. John Murdoch : Tell me. Inspector Frank Bumstead : Right. You just... you go to the... John Murdoch : Where? Where do you go? Inspector Frank Bumstead : Just give me a second, will you... John Murdoch : You can't remember, can you? [at the murder scene] Inspector Frank Bumstead : What's that make so far, Husselbeck? Six hookers in all? Husselbeck : I believe so, sir. Inspector Frank Bumstead : Give the man an "A" for effort. Husselbeck : Everything Detective Walenski committed to paper should be here. Inspector Frank Bumstead : The only thing that should be committed is Wolenski. Walenski : I've been trying to remember things, CLEARLY remember things, from my past, but the more I try to think back, the more it all starts to unravel. None of it seems real. It's like I've just been dreaming this life, and when I finally wake up, I'll be somebody else. Somebody totally different! Inspector Frank Bumstead : You saw something, didn't you, Eddie? Something to do with the case. Walenski : There is no case! There never was! It's all just a big joke! It's a joke! [Emma notices Bumstead's accordian] Emma Murdoch : It's beautiful. Inspector Frank Bumstead : It was a gift from my mother. She died recently. I keep it with me to remind me of her. Emma Murdoch : I'm sorry. Inspector Frank Bumstead : It's a funny thing, though.

Movie Title: Children of a Lesser God (1986) as James Leeds: James Leeds : You are the most mysterious, beautiful, angry person I have ever met... I am falling in l--- Sarah. Sarah!

And they'll do anything to keep from living their life. Angus Tuck : What we Tucks have you can't call it living. We just... are. We're like rocks, stuck at the side of a stream. Angus Tuck : Don't be afraid of death, Winnie. Be afraid of the unlived life. Movie Title: Lost in Space (1998) as John Robinson: John Robinson : There's a lot of space out there to get lost in. [Major West arms the Proteus' reactor to explode, to kill the Space Spiders] John Robinson : What are you doing? Major West : You never leave an enemy stronghold intact. John Robinson : Major, stop. Major West : One of your father's first rules of engagement. John Robinson : That's a direct order. Major West : I hate spiders. [The Jupiter II is hurtling towards the Sun] John Robinson : We're caught in the sun's gravitational pull. We're headed straight for it. Major West : Oh, really? So that's what the big yellow ball is. Major West : It's still working. John Robinson : What? Major West : The hyperdrive. If we can't go around the Sun, then we go straight through it, using your hyperdrive. John Robinson : But, without a hypergate, the exit vector's random. There's no telling where we'd come out. Major West : Anywhere but here. Major West : I'm going to try to break us out of the atmosphere. John Robinson : No, we don't have enough core material for that. Major West : Well, maybe if we catch one of the thermal... John Robinson : No, it won't work. I *know*. We have to go... down. Through the planet as she's breaking up. We can use the planet's gravity... Major West : What? John Robinson : To throw us ut the other side and back into space! Major West : That's insane! John Robinson : I don't have time to argue. John Robinson : Have you noticed, you take to opposite position to whatever I say? Maureen Robinson : Of course I do, we're married. Monster Smith : You should have killed me when you had the chance. John Robinson : You know, you're right. I couldn't kill the man... [takes out on of Will's science fair plaques as an improvised weapon] John Robinson : But I can kill the monster! John Robinson : [to Dr. Smith] Take all the time you want to die. Movie Title: Artificial Intelligence: AI (2001) as Professor Hobby: Professor Hobby : You are a real boy. At least as real as I've ever made one. Professor Hobby : My son was one of a kind. You're the first of a kind. Female Colleague : If a robot could genuinely love a person, what responsibility does that person hold toward that mecha in return? It's a moral question, isn't it? Professor Hobby : The oldest one of all. But in the beginning, didn't God create Adam to love him? Movie Title: Rare Birds (2001) as Dave: Phonce : There's a phone booth down by the baseball diamond. Now nobody will see you there and it's nice and quiet. Dave : Why can't we make the phone call from here? Phonce : Because, sir, we've got to cover our backs. Alright, Dave? They've probably got some sort of a call-tracing mechanism down at the CBC just in case some lunatic calls in and says he's planning on skullfucking the premier. Movie Title: Gorky Park (1983) as Arkady Renko: Irina Asanova : KGB have better cars, you know. Arkady Renko : Ah, but they don't always take you where you want to go, do they?

Movie Title: The Village (2004) as Edward Walker: Edward Walker : Ivy, try your very best not to scream... [repeated line] Edward Walker : [part of a table grace] We are grateful for the time we have been given. Edward Walker : You are fearless in a way that I shall never know. Edward Walker : The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe. Edward Walker : Yes, I have risked. I hope I am always able to risk for the just and right cause. Movie Title: Altered States (1980) as Eddie Jessup: Eddie Jessup : The purpose of our suffering is only more suffering. Eddie Jessup : What dignifies the Yogic practices is that the belief system itself is not truly religious. There is no Buddhist God per se. It is the Self, the individual Mind, that contains immortality and ultimate truth. Emily Jessup : What the hell is not religious about that? You've simply replaced God with the Original Self. Eddie Jessup : Yes, but we've localized it. Now I know where the Self is. It's in our own minds. It's a form of human energy. Our atoms are six billion years old. We've got six billion years of memory in our minds. Eddie Jessup : Memory is energy! It doesn't disappear - it's still in there. There's a physiological pathway to our earlier consciousnesses. There has to be; and I'm telling you it's in the goddamned limbic system. Mason Parrish : You're a whacko! Eddie Jessup : What's whacko about it, Mason? I'm a man in search of his true self. How archetypically American can you get? We're all trying to fulfill ourselves, understand ourselves, get in touch with ourselves, face the reality of ourselves, explore ourselves, expand ourselves. Ever since we dispensed with God we've got nothing but ourselves to explain this meaningless horror of life. Eddie Jessup : You saved me. You redeemed me from the pit. I was in it, Emily. I was *in* that ultimate moment of terror that is the beginning of life. It is nothing. Simple, hideous nothing. The final truth of all things is that there is no final Truth. Truth is what's transitory. It's human life that is real. I don't want to frighten you, Emily, but what I'm trying to tell you is that moment of terror is a real and living horror, living and growing within me now, and the only thing that keeps it from devouring me is you. Eddie Jessup : Emily's quite content to go on with this life. She insists she's in love with me - whatever that is. What she means is she prefers the senseless pain we inflict on each other to the pain we would otherwise inflict on ourselves. But I'm not afraid of that solitary pain. In fact, if I don't strip myself of all this clatter and clutter and ridiculous ritual, I shall go out of my fucking mind. Does that answer your question, Arthur? Arthur Rosenberg : What question was that? Eddie Jessup : You asked me why I was getting divorced. Arthur Rosenberg : Oh, listen, it's your life. I'm sorry I even asked. Movie Title: One True Thing (1998) as George Gulden: [To Ellen] George Gulden : Your mother needs you, Ellen! Jesus Christ, you got a Harvard education, but where is your heart? Movie Title: Smoke (1995) as Paul Benjamin: Auggie Wren : If you can't share your secrets with your friends then what kind of friend are you? Paul Benjamin : Exactly... life just wouldn't be worth living. Movie Title: The Accidental Tourist (1988) as Macon: Macon : I'm beginning to think that maybe it's not just how much you love someone. Maybe what matters is who you are when you're with them. Macon : I don't really care for movies; they make everything seem so close up. |
