Woody Allen’s Manhattan.  One of my favorite movie intros, plus what I consider to be the opening scene takes place at a restaurant that was 3 blocks from my apartment!


This is where the Paul Rudd crush began.  The best pseudo-semi-incestuous kiss in cinema and we were all okay with it!


Duckie lip-syncing to Ottis Redding - NERDY HOT!!!  Love it!


Aces Over Kings

  • [Mike's girlfriend has just left him over his broken promise not to play poker]
  • Worm: You know what always cheers me up?
  • Mike McDermott: No, what's that?
  • Worm: Rolled up aces over kings. Check-raising stupid tourists and taking huge pots off of them. Playing all-night high-limit Hold'em at the Taj, "where the sand turns to gold." Stacks and towers of checks I can't even see over.
  • Mike McDermott: Fuck it, let's go.
  • Worm: Don't tease me.
  • Mike McDermott: Let's play some cards.
  • Worm: Yes!

The Ellipsis

  • Sam: You don't realize, this is good, this doesn't happen often in your life. We can work this stuff out. I want to help you, you know? We need each other...
  • Andrew Largeman: This isn't a conversation about this being over, it's, it's... I'm not, like, putting a period at the end of this, you know, I'm putting, like, an ellipsis on it, cause I'm- I'm- I'm worried that if I don't figure myself out, if I don't go like land on my own two feet, then I'm just gonna to mess this whole thing up, and this is too important. I gotta go... you changed my life in four days. This is the beginning of something really big. But right now, I gotta go.
  • (Andrew comes back and finds Sam crying in a phone booth.)
  • Sam: What are you doing?
  • Andrew Largeman: Remember that idea I had, about working stuff out on my own, and then finding you once I worked stuff out?
  • Sam: The ellipsis?
  • Andrew Largeman: Yeah, the ellipsis, it's dumb. It's dumb. It's an awful idea. I'm not gonna do it, okay? Cause like you said, this is it. This is life. And I'm in love with you... I think that's the only thing I've ever really been sure of in my entire life. And I'm really messed up right now, and I got a whole lot of stuff I have to work out, but I don't want to waste any more of my life without you in it. And I think I can do this. I mean, I want to. I have to, right?
  • Sam: Yeah. Yes!
  • Andrew Largeman: So what do we do? What do we do?


Tony: So, you’re not gonna go to law school? What do you wanna do then?
Mike: I WANNA DANCE!

Tony: So, you’re not gonna go to law school? What do you wanna do then?

Mike: I WANNA DANCE!


I’d be very glad to have you kiss me now if you don’t mind.

I was really going to be Somebody

  • Lelaina Pierce: I was really going to be somebody by the time I was 23.
  • Troy Dyer: Honey, all you have to be by the time you're 23 is yourself.
  • Lelaina Pierce: I don't know who that is anymore.
  • Troy Dyer: I do. And we all love her. I love her. She breaks my heart again and again, but I love her.
