daisychics Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Dh and I were talking last night about people's response about homeschooling, "Oh, I can't homeschool. I don't have the patience." I reminded him of watching the movie Evan Almighty. What Morgan Freeman (God) said was so profound (to me). God: "Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?" I cried, when I heard that. God gives me plenty of opportunities to be patient. I'm still learning. :001_smile: **Do you have a memorable quote, from a movie, you want to share?

DB in NJ Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Wow -- I love that. I have a ton of favorite quotes, they're not not quite as profound as yours (i.e. "you take delight in vexing me"; "you have no compassion for my poor nerves"; "she's tolerable, I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me"....etc.) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookieMonster Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm better at remembering quotes when the moment serves to bring them to mind. But, two I remember easily are: John Wayne: "A man oughta do what he thinks is best" which doesn't come across well unless you know the context. He's giving a warning to a snotty, prideful curr of a man. What he's really saying is, "You're a fool, but you're free to be a fool if that's what you want. Consider yourself warned." The other is stupid. But terribly funny to dh and I: "The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire!" usually said with motions and all. It's from Mystery Men, which I would never suggest anyone subject themselves to. :tongue_smilie: I only watched it because dh loves it. And, well, this part is funny. And we use it often.

elegantlion Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I love memorable lines. One of my favorite from Evan Almighty was when God was showing Evan the valley "in its original design." My dh and I plan on traveling a lot in the next few years and that is my goal. I want to see America in its original design. Made me cry too.

Why should I see that?!" ...something like that we also use this from the old Pride & Prejudice movie with Greer Garson, Lady Catherine: "they should be killed and boiled, killed and boiled.."

Jill- OK Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 We quote so many movies, I can't even begin to list them all, but when you mentioned O Brother, Where Art Thou...I had to grin; a good many of them are from that movie, alone. "Friend, some of yer foldin' money's come unstowed." "Is you is, or is you ain't, my (it's constituency in the movie, but we fill in the blank with whatever fits the occasion)..." "Gopher, Everett?", "Why, no, Delmar. A third of a gopher would only serve to arouse my appetite, without beddin' her back down again." "Well, I'm with you fellers." "I don't get it, Big Dan." (This is what Everett says, after seeing Big Dan smack Delmar down, right before he gets clocked by Big Dan, himself. We use it as sort of a snarky dig when someone doesn't get something obvious. Yes, sarcasm is our love language.) "They got this here Depression on! I got to do fer me and mine!" (You could replace that with "Recession" now, I guess.) I have to quit...there's too many. And I won't even get into the second most-quotable Coen brothers movie, Raising Arizona. ("One night, I decided to fix my own crawdad...", or, "When they was no crawdad, we ate sand". Or no! Wait! "You're young and you got yer health...whatchoo want with a job?!?" Hey...maybe that should be my new quote in my signature line, lol!)

That entire movie is delightfully quotable! It doesn't matter how many times I've seen it -- just happening across it on tv sends me into fits of giggles. It's just wonderful. :) Some of my other favorites: "No stately home?" "No stately home." -- Shooting Fish (Two adult orphans whose life's goal is to have a "stately home" of their own, when faced with an unpleasant task that if not completed will prevent their dream from coming true.) "I saw something nasty in the woodshed." -- Cold Comfort Farm (An old woman has used this excuse her entire life for ordering around everyone around her...) And anything from Firefly.
