Reuben

"I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich.

I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts.

I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes.

And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night."

- When Harry met Sally (1989)

Rock lobster

"After that, it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I... I realized what a terrific person she was, and... and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I... I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs".

Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd... but I guess we keep goin' through it because, most of us... need the eggs."

- Annie Hall (Woody Allen, 1977)

Wings

"Mientras haya música, seguiremos bailando. Y a ser posible... con una sonrisa."

- Carlos Cristos (Las alas de la vida, 2006)

Thursday mood

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there... Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.

When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

- Love Actually (Richard Curtis, 2013)

Le casse-tête sans fin

           Moscow Leningradsky Railway Station. Int.

           XAVIER and WENDY walk up to the train. WENDY suddenly turns and stares at XAVIER smiling.

            WENDY
You are the perfect guy.

            XAVIER
You're making a mistake, I... I'm really not! If there's someone on earth with a... wreck, it's me!

             WENDY
That's what I just said. You're a perfect guy.

            XAVIER
How come you're such a nice girl?

            WENDY

I'm not being nice. You just happen to be the best thing that's happened to me in the past 26 years. 

            XAVIER
I'm not sure I'm the one you're talking about. The one you think I am.

            WENDY
What do you think? I know you're not always perfect! I know you have tons of problems, defects, imperfections, but... Who doesn't? It's just that I prefer your problems. I'm in love with your imperfections, your imperfections are just great. I mean, you can't imagine, before I had to deal with Ed and, compared to him, you're a day at the beach! I know most girls they go weak at the knees for what's beautiful, you know, that's all they see, that's all the want but, I- I'm not like that. I don't just see what's beautiful, I fall for the other stuff. I love what's not perfect. This is just how I am.

           The train beeps. A HOSTESS subtly tells XAVIER to please get in.

             WENDY

I think you need to go now.

           They kiss. XAVIER leaves without uttering a word.

             XAVIER (In French)
            (To the audience)
Any guy with a normal constitution would have run after her. Me, I didn't move. Or, rather, it's the train that moved. I just let it.

"Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday"

- You know, sometimes I wonder... 

- What? 

- Well... if I hadn't been Fox Books and you hadn't been The Shop Around the Corner, and you and I had just, well, met... 

- I know...

- Yeah. I would have asked for your number, and I wouldn't have been able to wait 24 hours before calling you and saying, "Hey, how about... how about some coffee?" or, you know, "drinks or dinner or a movie... for as long as we both shall live?"

- Joe... 

- And you and I would have never been at war. And the only thing we'd fight about would be which video to rent on a Saturday night. 

- Who fights about that?

- Well, some people. Not us. 

- We would never. 

- If only...

- I gotta go.

- Well, let me ask you something. How can you forgive this guy for standing you up and not forgive me for this tiny little thing of... of putting you out of business? Oh, how I wish you would. 

- I really have to go. 

- Yeah, well... you don't want to be late.

Ben: Mom needs to be in the hospital right now.

Vespyr: But you said hospitals are a great place to go if you're a healthy person and you want to die.

Zaja: You said Americans are under-educated and over-medicated.
