Sense and Sensibility - Quotes

 Elinor Dashwood:

Our circumstances are therefore precisely the same.

Fahrenheit 9/11 - Quotes

 
[TV host Larry King is interviewing Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan]
Larry King:
[on Osama bin Laden] What were the circumstances under which you met him?
Prince Bandar bin Sultan:
This is ironic. In the mid-80's, if you remember, we and the United States were supporting the Mujhadeen to liberate Afghanistan from the Soviets. He came to thank me for my efforts to bring the Americans, our friends, to help us against the atheists, in other words the Communists.
Larry King:
And now he may be responsible for bombing America.
Prince Bandar bin Sultan:
Absolutely.
Larry King:
What did you make of him when you met him?
Prince Bandar bin Sultan:
I was not impressed, to be honest with you.

Al Pacino - Quotes

 [on doing Scarecrow (1973) with Gene Hackman] Gene and I are two people not very similar. We had to play a very close relationship, but I just didn't think we were as connected as we should have been. We seemed apart. We didn't have altercations, we didn't hate each other. But we didn't communicate, didn't think in the same terms. Gene and I were thrown together, but under ordinary circumstances we'd never cavort or be friends. It was two worlds - but I have to say that I was as much responsible as he was.

 Joe:
With the exception of Eddie and myself, whom you already know, we're going to be using aliases on this job.

That includes where you been, your wife's name, where you might've done time, or maybe a bank you robbed in St. Petersburg. All I want you guys to talk about, if you have to, is what you're going to do. That should do it. Here are your names... [pointing to each respective member]

Mr. Brown, Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Blue, Mr. Orange, and Mr. Pink.

Because you're a faggot, alright?
