Tell me about some good movie quotes...

[LifeStandsStill]

I have less than two weeks to decide on a line from a movie to act out, and I'm starting to get really nervous. There'll be judges and talent scouts and about 50+ other people watching me. I keep thinking of different lines/quotes that are from older female characters, which I'm thinking I probably shouldn't do since I'm not even 18 yet. I'll have 45 seconds to show everyone my "talent", and I can't sing for shit, so that's a no go. I can dance, yeah, but it's not like I'm wanting to be a dancer, so it comes down to acting, something I've always wanted to do. I wasn't planning on mentioning this whole thing here on DV, but I really need some help with this. So, tell me some good movie lines/quotes that would be okay for a 16 year old to act out, something that could take at least 35 seconds to say...

I may be white on the outside, but I'm brown on the inside, holmes. ES VATOS LOCO"S!!!! Its from blood in blood out

[DuB]

From The Godfather II: Kay: Oh, oh, Michael; Michael, you are blind. It wasn't a miscarriage, it was an abortion. An abortion, Michael. Just like our marriage is an abortion -- something that's unholy and evil. I didn't want your son, Michael. I wouldn't bring another one of your sons into this world. It was an abortion, Michael. It was a son; a son, and I had it killed because this must all end. I know now that it's over; I knew it then. There would be no way, Michael. No way you could forgive me. Not with this Sicilian thing thats been going on for two thousand years.

It's delivered by a male--Harvey Keitel--but it's a classic, and would give you alot to work with: Mr. White: "When you're dealing with a store like this, they're insured up the ass. They're not supposed to give you any resistance whatsoever. If you get a customer, or an employee, who thinks he's Charles Bronson, take the butt of your gun and smash their nose in. Everybody jumps. He falls down screaming, blood squirts out of his nose, nobody says fucking shit after that. You might get some bitch talk shit to you, but give her a look like you're gonna smash her in the face next, watch her shut the fuck up. Now if it's a manager, that's a different story. Managers know better than to fuck around, so if you get one that's giving you static, he probably thinks he's a real cowboy, so you gotta break that son of a bitch in two. If you wanna know something and he won't tell you, cut off one of his fingers. The little one. Then tell him his thumb's next. After that he'll tell you if he wears ladies underwear. ...I'm hungry. Let's get a taco." [from Reservoir Dogs] [EDIT] Oops, I just realized that one of the stipulations was that the quote be appropriate for a 50+ audience...maybe this would work for a group of daring and open-minded 50+ individuals?[/EDIT]

[Man of Steel]

Anything from Doris Day in An Affair to Remember or Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. Also Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. Betcha didn't know I watched those, eh?

[AmazeO XD]

"I'm sick of these MOTHER FUCKING SNAKES, on this MOTHER FUCKING PLANE." I mean, it's classic. haw haw. For real though? I have no clue.

[LifeStandsStill]

I'm going to look up some quotes from those movies MoS, thanks I don't think it would be very appropriate to cuss in front of a huge audience where there are little children, so yeah, I couldn't do that... lol and thanks for trying matt btw, nice sig. I'ma run it like a marathon, Party 'til I'm 50 'hawhaw'

[DuB]

Little children? Oh. Probably shouldn't use the aborton thing either, then. "Mommy, what's an abortion?"

"Jeff... *dramatic pause* Play time, is over... *even LONGER dramtic pause" Now its time t' wake up" Hard Candy~ Ellen Page BEST MOVIE EVAR

[LifeStandsStill]

lol yeah DuB, that wouldn't bet too good either Hard Candy was a good movie, I agree, I'ma have to take a look at some other quotes from that movie as well.

[CRAZY BONE]

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto." Heh, but seriously, there's a lot of good quotes from Jerry Maguire. I don't know what kind of scene you are going for, but here's some really dramatic ones that would show off your acting chops... "I'm finished, I'm fucked (censor it: screwed). Twenty four hours ago, man, I was hot! Now... I'm a cautionary tale. You see this jacket I'm wearing, you like it? Because I don't really need it. Because I'm cloaked in failure! I lost the number one draft picked the night before the draft! Why? Let's recap: Because a hockey player's kid made me feel like a superficial jerk. I ate two slices of bad pizza, went to bed and grew a conscience!" We live in a cynical world. A cynical world. And we work in a business of tough competitors. I love you. You... complete me. Here's some quotes from A Few Good Men... "You can't handle the truth! *pause* Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and curse the Marines; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to." There Will Be Blood... "Ladies and gentlemen... I've traveled over half our state to be here tonight. I couldn't get away sooner because my new well was coming in at Coyote Hills and I had to see about it. That well is now flowing at two thousand barrels and it's paying me an income of five thousand dollars a week. I have two others drilling and I have sixteen producing at Antelope. So, ladies and gentlemen... if I say I'm an oil man you will agree. You have a great chance here, but bear in mind, you can lose it all if you're not careful. Out of all men that beg for a chance to drill your lots, maybe one in twenty will be oilmen; the rest will be speculators-that's men trying to get between you and the oilmen-to get some of the money that ought by rights come to you. Even if you find one that has money, and means to drill, he'll maybe know nothing about drilling and he'll have to hire out the job on contract, and then you're depending on a contractor that's trying to rush the job through so he can get another contract just as quick as he can. This is... the way that this works." A little R-rated, but a badass quote from Gangs of New York: "I know your works. You are neither cold nor hot. So because you are lukewarm, I will spew you out of my mouth. You can build your filthy world without me. I took the father. Now I'll take the son. You tell young Vallon I'm gonna paint Paradise Square with his blood. Two coats. I'll festoon my bedchamber with his guts. As for you, Mr. Tammany-fucking-Hall, you come down to the Points again, and you'll be dispatched by my own hand. Get back to your celebration and let me eat in peace." Also, what exactly is this for? I'm also an aspiring actor.

[LifeStandsStill]

thanks Silox, I really liked that first one Well, I know it sounds a bit stupid, but I signed up for this thing in the mall, and the first night I walked the runway and said a line that they had given me, and I got chosen to be in the final fashion show which is next saturday... theday i also have to do my talent... and if they like me, i get a one year contract with them. basically thats all it is, but there will be talent scouts and casting people from different tv shows there (supposedly) so yeah.

"It's about a girl who had just come to Paris from her home in Oslo. At the house of some friends, she met a man about whom she'd heard her whole life. A very great and courageous man. He opened up for her a whole beautiful world full of knowledge and thoughts and ideals. Everything she knew or ever became was because of him. And she looked up to him and worshiped him... with a feeling she supposed was love. " - Ilsa from Casablanca, one of my favourite movies. I think it'd be very good for you. It's a very emotional speech and from what I've seen from your pictures, if you curl your hair, you'd look just like Ilsa. Or "But it wasn't a dream. It was a place. And you and you and you...and you were there. But you couldn't have been could you? No, Aunt Em, this was a real truly live place and I remember some of it wasn't very nice, but most of it was beautiful -- but just the same all I kept saying to everybody was "I want to go home," and they sent me home! Doesn't anybody believe me? But anyway, Toto, we're home! Home. And this is my room, and you're all here and I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again. Because I love you all. And... Oh Auntie Em! There's no place like home!" - Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz

Well I can't offer any help but I'm excited to find out how it all went!

[Kael Seoras]

Shirley McLaine's confession of love to Audrey Hepburn in The Children's Hour...if your audience can handle it

[Mes Tarrant]

... Wow... JEEZ... I didn't even know this movie existed!

[CoLd BlooDed]

This... is... SPARTA! 'nuff said.

[ninja9578]

This... is... SPARTA! 'nuff said. The original was Sooooooooooo much better.

[CRAZY BONE]

I'm assuming you presented it by now, how did it go? Which quote did you use?

[Hercuflea]

"Too few have come. We cannot defeat the Armies of Mordor." "No, we cannot. But we will meet them in battle nonetheless!"

[LifeStandsStill]

Totally forgot about this thread, my bad. Actually though, I ended up not attending it. When I went to pick up my pictures, apparently someone had an asthma attack, and an intern there said I'd have to pick them up the next day... So the next day we went to get them, apparently we were too late and they "weren't there anymore" because we were too late... *rolls eyes* We ended up paying the final payment for the pictures, and the guy said he'd mail them that night (Saturday) and I should have them by Tuesday... Tuesday came and no pictures... I became really really pissed off, and decided to just forget about it. The day I was supposed to do the final show, my sister went to the mall and decided to go talk to the people, they told her that she would be able to pick up my pictures for me, but to come back at noon cause they weren't even ready yet (wtf i was supposed to have them in the damn mail???) She came back to them at noon, and got the pictures, and they got my first name wrong on the cd the pics were on, it said Ashley, my name is Lindsey... but anyway... at 5pm that day was when the show was supposed to be, and they asked my sister if I was still coming for tomorrow, wtf? I decided I wasn't about to do that when they are obviously very unprofessional. So yeah, that's that. Advice for anyone thinking about doing those model searches you see in malls.... is don't do it. Total waste of your time, very unprofessional. But that's just my experience.. Yeah... it's whatever.
