Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: kendall Date: 17 May 07 - 07:24 AM Come to think of it, there was a tribe of Indians in the West who were called "Grosse Ventres" French for "Big Bellies". Ok, so I was wrong. But, I was right once too...I didn't buy a Neru jacket. I guess I just don't understand the original quote. |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: GUEST,CrazyEddie Date: 17 May 07 - 10:02 AM I thought the Churchill one was: "But in the morning Madam, I'll be sober." (So the "You'll still be ugly" was implicit rather than explicit.) re "One small head" here is a fuller quote: The village all declared how much he knew; Twas certain he could write, and cipher too; Lands he could measure, terms and tides presage, And even the story ran that he could gauge. In arguing, too, the parson own'd his skill, For even though vanquish'd, he could argue still; While words of learned length and thundering sound Amazed the gazing rustics ranged around; And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew. |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: Mickey191 Date: 17 May 07 - 10:36 AM I think you are correct Crazy Eddy--on the Churchill quote. My mistake. What is One Small Head rom & the author is...? ----------- Mr.Dux, Good job on the Casablanca dialog-Has any movie since been that magical? They were getting the dialog each morning-with no set thought on how the movie would end. A plus on Macbeth. ----------- Micca-yup on the D.P. line. |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: mrdux Date: 17 May 07 - 04:20 PM Mickey -- Casablanca is unquestionably one of my all-time favorite films. "Magical" works for me. When I first started dating my wife, I said to her "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." She, having led a a cinematically sheltered life, didn't get the reference but loved the line. So I rented a copy of Casablanca for us to watch. She loved it so much we saw it three times that weekend. And here we still are a dozen years later. . . Watching the movie was definitely an auspicious beginning of a beautiful -- and enduring -- friendship. As far as the Churchill quote goes, I have the exchange as: Elizabeth Braddock: Sir, you are drunk. Winston Churchill: And you, madam, are ugly. But in the morning I shall be sober. michael ---------------------------------------------------------------------- and another: "The physician can bury his mistakes, but . . ." |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: Mickey191 Date: 17 May 07 - 05:51 PM He'll still send a bill!!!!!!! Hi Michael, I love your story-it was off to a great start with that memorable line. Ingrid B. said she knew the audiences were disappointed that Rick & Ilsa didn't go off together-but it would not have spoken well as to their character. It was indeed a time for personal sacrifices. I met Bogey once-one of my highlites! I'll bet someone here will get your Physician Clue! Mickey |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: mrdux Date: 19 May 07 - 09:23 PM Believe me, if all those endearing young charms Which I gaze on so fondly to-day, Were to change by to-morrow, and melt in my arms, Like fairy-gifts fading away, Thou would'st still be adored, as this moment thou art, Let thy loveliness fade as it will, And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart Would entwine itself verdantly still. |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: Mickey191 Date: 22 May 07 - 11:16 AM Jenny O--100%---Good Show! You are totally hip on movie's Great Lines! Was it Cary Grant who got the invitation from M.W.? Why not put some of your own movie Great Lines?? Love this thread. I sure hope we find out about Gross Buckets L.H. and One Small Head--who wrote it. My Bartletts is missing. |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: Mickey191 Date: 22 May 07 - 12:50 PM An Buachaill Caol Dubh, (Will you translate for us?) You won't believe this-but I thought of that line to post here & decided no one would get it!!! For the rest of the world: It's from the Quiet Man with John Wayne & Maureen O'Hara & the old codger who stole the pix-Barry Fitzgerald. What a great feel good movie! Now can you tell me what B.F. said when he walked in the bedroom after the wedding night & spied the broken bed? It was the best laugh in the movie-the audience roared covering the sound-- everynight many asked what was said. I was an usher in Pelham, NY in those Golden Days & saw that movie about 60 times-I never tired of it & still can recite much of the dialogue today. Then it was brought back (Pop. Demand) & it was still SRO. I finally got my Irish Dad to see it (NEVER went to movies).He came back the next night to see "The FIGHT" with Victor McLaglen. Nice Memories-Thanks, Mickey |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: JennyO Date: 22 May 07 - 01:06 PM "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." -- Sun Tzu, The Art of War Er - yes, you're probably right, but I had something else in mind. "I've known sheep that could outwit you. I've worn dresses with higher I.Qs." -- from A Fish Called Wanda Yep, that's it. Wanda (Jamie Lee Curtis) says "To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people! I've known sheep that could out-wit you! I've worn dresses with higher IQ's, but you think you're an intellectual, don't you ape?" |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: Wolfgang Date: 22 May 07 - 02:16 PM "What if they gave a war and nobody came?" ----------------------------------------- Berthold Brecht. (MarkS) This is a frequent wrong attribution. Now a real Brecht quote once printed in a book on the very same page which had the above quote but not from Brecht: He who does not share the fight will share the defeat (poem: Against those lacking courage) Just the opposite of the wrongly attributed quote. Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: Little Hawk Date: 22 May 07 - 08:14 PM "He who does not share the fight will share the defeat." What if this had been said of a pacifistically-minded young Japanese man who was hoping against hope to avoid being sent to his almost certain death in Iwo Jima or Okinawa? Or a 15-year old German kid in March 1945 who was having serious doubts about the usefullness of his learning how to handle a Panzerfaust and a machine gun? What then? Such things were said to those young people. It all depends, you see, what you believe in. It all depends on where you place the highest good. And there will always be different opinions about that. |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: Mickey191 Date: 23 May 07 - 09:53 AM Thanks CrazyEddie, Going to find that poem-sounds lovely. Also for the translation. Did you get that from a site? I've often wanted gaelic Translations-but was unable to find out how. Grow old along with me ............... Keep your eyes wide open before marriage......... Behold a pale........... |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 23 May 07 - 10:48 AM Yes, Mickey 191, I can (and will...); you've no idea how anxiously I scanned the half-dozen postings between yours in ref. to the "lovely lady" and here, just in case someone else had chipped in. Barry Fitzgerald looks at the broken bed, shakes his head, and laconically utters the single word, "Homeric!" (For those less familiar with the Film than Cinema Ushers or members of the Irish diaspora, the reason the bed is broken is because Big John - or "Trooper Thorn" - has previously hurled M O'S - Kate Danaher - on it in fury. If you want a translation of "ABCD", see a much earlier thread on "Songs for Alcoholics"; and now, what - or whom - do we all have to cheer like (according to Ward Bond)? |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 23 May 07 - 10:58 AM By the way, sorry if "If you want a translation...." sounds peremptory or dismissive; I just realised it might appear that way, and it wasn't intended to; rather, if you go to the "Search" box, set it for a year, and type in "Wanted; songs for alcoholics!" you'll get not only the translation, but my rendering of the Irish song from which the name is taken. Cheers!, agus preab san ol. PS another line from Barry, in "The Quiet Man": "This is a ********-***; wait and I'll show ye the operation of it" What was it? And how do we know there isn't an Irish term for it? |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: The Walrus Date: 23 May 07 - 11:15 AM From: Mickey191, (Of "The Quiet Man") "...I finally got my Irish Dad to see it (NEVER went to movies).He came back the next night to see "The FIGHT" with Victor McLaglen...." What amuses me about that film is the length of that fight - If it had been for real, I suspect that McLagen would have wiped the floor with Wayne in fairly short order. McLagen was reputetedly quite a handy boxer, actually lasting a five round bout, trading blows with the World Heavyweight champion (Jack Johnson), and emerging on his feet (Okay, beaten, but concious and upright).

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 23 May 07 - 11:45 AM Yeah, a bit like the Basil Rathbone/Errol Flynn fencing-bouts. Runour has it that Rathbone got Flynn really angry before hand by whispering, "I'm getting paid twice as much as you". But don't forget that in the QM, wee Barry F is running a book on the outcome. And Mickey191 will be able to tell us where the people were coming from by 'bus..... |
