 Sandy Dennis Quotation[On acting]: "It isn't like painting a picture, or writing a book. When you finish an acting stint, there's nothing except money. You have to keep going, giving the best you've got, to get something intangible." Movie Title: The Out-of-Towners (1970) as Gwen Kellerman: Gwen Kellerman : George, what are we going to do? We can't ride, we can't walk, we can't eat, and we can't pray. George Kellerman : Well, we can think. As long as we've got our brains, we can think. Gwen Kellerman : Oh, they'll take that too, George. You'll see. Officer Meyers : You folks live out of town? Gwen Kellerman : Oh yes. Officer Meyers : You're lucky. George Kellerman : My wife can verify that. Gwen? Gwen Kellerman : I can verify that. Gwen Kellerman : You should have just stopped and explained to them. George Kellerman : Explain! Explain what? How I'm behind some bushes with a little boy, with my hands down his pockets! They'd give me 10-20 years! Murray : Alright! Give me your wallet! George Kellerman : I don't have a wallet! Gwen Kellerman : Give him your wallet, George! [to Murray] Gwen Kellerman : It's in his left pocket! George Kellerman : You were gonna be eating at one of the best restaurants in the world. And now here you are eating peanut butter with white bread with nothing to drink. If you ever open your mouth again I'll understand if you never want to talk to me. Gwen Kellerman : Oh my God! George Kellerman : What? Gwen Kellerman : I lost my left eyelash! Gwen Kellerman : Now George, I promised the children that I would call them this morning. They're gonna be worried. George Kellerman : Right now, they're probably eating a big bowl of rice krispies and some bananas. Worry about us right now. Gwen Kellerman : You haven't thought about them once have you? About their welfare? What should happen to them if something should happen to us? George Kellerman : Yes, yes! In between the mugging and the kidnapping! Now, will you come on! Gwen Kellerman : Thank you! George Kellerman : Why are you thanking him for? Will you stop thanking everyone! Come on! George Kellerman : You can't walk with a bleeding foot. Gwen Kellerman : Well I would fly, but New York is fogged in. Gwen Kellerman : George, I can't walk and you can't carry me. And there are no buses, or taxis, and no car will stop to pick up bleeding strangers. George Kellerman : It's not safe in the park at night. Gwen Kellerman : We were already robbed and kidnapped, we have nothing to lose but four cents. Please, George. George Kellerman : But suppose it rains again? Gwen Kellerman : I'm so wet now, it can only make me drier. Movie Title: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) as Honey: Honey : I dance like the wind. Honey : Oh, I don't know, a little brandy maybe. "Never mix, never worry!" George : Martha? Rubbing alcohol for you? Martha : Sure! "Never mix, never worry!" Honey : They dance like they've danced before. George : It's a familiar dance, monkey nipples, they both know it. Movie Title: The Four Seasons (1981) as Anne Callan: [changing her mind about hiding her new snake from her ex-husband] Anne Callan : I'll tell you what - to hell with Nick. Tell him it's a goddamn boa-constrictor. Movie Title: Up the Down Staircase (1967) as Sylvia Barrett: Sylvia Barrett : When I finally get the chance, the first few precious minutes to talk to them about something I want them to understand, and I find that I am some kind of enemy... the butt of some enormous joke. [Lou Martin gives an oral book report] Lou Martin : My book is... Sylvia Barrett : [Correcting his grammar] The book you read. Lou Martin : Yeah. The title is called "MacBeth," by Shakespeare. Sylvia Barrett : [Correcting his grammar, again] The title 'is.' Lou Martin : [Finishing her sentence] "... MacBeth." Sylvia Barrett : Isn't "MacBeth" required reading for last english term? Lou Martin : I ain't never read it before. Sylvia Barrett : [Correcting his grammar, again] I' ve never read it. Lou Martin : Me neither. [Class laughter] Lou Martin : In this book, the author depix... Sylvia Barrett : [Correcting his grammar, again] "De-picts." Lou Martin : Depix how this guy, he wants to... Sylvia Barrett : [Correcting his grammar, and beginning to lose track] : Who. Lou Martin : Him. Sylvia Barrett : [Correcting his grammar ,again] He. Lou Martin : Yeah. Sylvia Barrett : [Giving up trying to correct him] Alright, what is the theme of MacBeth? Lou Martin : Well, the author narrates this murder. [Pretending to be strangled to death] Lou Martin : Uhh! Ugh! Ugh! Uhh! Uhh! Strangling! Uhh Ughh!... [Class breaks out in laughter, and eventually Miss Barrett does too] [Mr. McHabe notices Miss Barrett walking towards class with a homemade suggestion box] J.J. McHabe : Oh. Suggestions, Miss Barrett, ahh? I must say you've got guts. Sylvia Barrett : It's just an idea, Mr. McHabe. It seems to me that if the students have a chance to speak freely without fear of punishment... J.J. McHabe : Listen, you start running this school with ideas, you'll have riots in your rooms. Fear - That's all they understand. Sylvia Barrett : If you deny what you know, or what you are, or where you are, you deny the simplest part of being alive, and then you die. Sylvia Barrett : The theme of MacBeth is that too much ambition can lead to ruthless ambition, and end up in disaster. That's what words are for - to be used. Who can tell me what "ruthless" means? Joe? [Gets no response, decides to ask... ] Sylvia Barrett : Eddie? Eddie Williams : Steps all over. Sylvia Barrett : Use it in a sentence. Eddie Williams : Steps all over, like white people. I know because I'm colored. [urging Mr. Barringer to dance with a student] Sylvia Barrett : Why do you always say "maybe later"? Maybe sometime, maybe Thursday, and there never is a Thursday. Movie Title: The Fox (1967) as Jill Banford: [repeated line] Jill Banford : Oh March, you're terrible! Movie Title: Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean (1982) as Mona: Mona : Jo, why did you have to come back here? Joanne : I had as much right to return to this reunion as anybody, didn't I? Mona : Shh! Listen. A slowly passing train is so romantic. Mona : Prosperity, unfortunately, it's a fleeting thing. Joanne : Time is such a nebulous date to wait for. Mona : And patience, they say, is a virtue. Cissy: Well, you were born and raised in this town too, missy! Mona : Yes, uh, yes, but I chose to rise above the attitudes of this small town, while you chose to lay spread over a gravestone and take them inside you! Juanita : Mona!!! |
