Bananas [1971]: "Good afternoon. Wide World of Sports is in the republic of San Marcos where we are going to bring you a live on the spot assassination. They're going to kill the president of this lovely Latin American country and replace him with a military dictatorship . . . The door opens. It's El Presidente waving at the crowd. A shot rings out! He turns and runs back to the building. The crowd has gone wild. He is caught in a crossfire of bullets. And down! It's over! It's all over for El Presidente!"
Big Wednesday [1978]: "Who knows where the winds come from? Is is the breath of God? Who knows what makes the clouds? Where do the great swells come from? And for what? Only that now was the time and we had waited so long."
The Boondock Saints [1999]: "This was a fucking bomb dropping on Beaver Cleaverville. For a few seconds, this place was Armageddon!"
Burn! [1969]: "I'm not sure what I'm doing here. I'm not sure why I'm doing what I'm doing. Perhaps it's only for the pleasure of it or maybe it's because I don't know how to do anything else. Perhaps I've nothing else to do. But I do know that whatever I do, I try to do it well and see it clearly through to the end."
Crazy Love [1987]: "I liked Crazy Love. As I told [Director Dominique] Deruddere, 'You made me look better than I am.' He oversensitized me. But it came out nicely and much of it was actually me.' --Charles Bukowski
Dead Man [1995]: "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is: infinite."
The Fog of War [2003]: "[I]n order to win a war should you kill 100,000 people in one night, by firebombing or any other way. LeMay's answer would be clearly 'Yes' . . . Proportionality should be a guideline in war. Killing 50% to 90% of the people of 67 Japanese cities and then bombing them with two nuclear bombs is not proportional, in the minds of some people, to the objectives we were trying to achieve."
My Best Fiend: Klaus Kinski [1999]: "Towards the end of shooting, the Indians offered to kill Kinski for me. They said, 'Should we kill him for you?' and I said, 'No, for God's sake I still need him for shooting. Leave him to me. Leave him to me.' And I declined at the time but they were dead serious. They would have killed him undoubtedly if I had wanted it. I at once regretted that I had held the Indians back from their purpose."
The New World [2005]: 'That fort is not the world. The river leads back there. It leads onward too . . . deeper . . . into the wild. Start over. Exchange this false life for a true one . . .'
The Pope of Greenwich Village [1984]: "I mean you don't abuse 'em once in a while they'll shit all over you. I don't mean you walk around morning to night whackin' 'em upside the head like someone from the other side but you terrorize 'em once in a while just to keep 'em in line. Know what I mean?"
