These are some of my favorite quotes from movies, songs, books, friends.. whatever and whenever. They
are just lines that continually come to my mind in certain situations in life.
This first quote here.. is my life when it comes to women it seems. I just recently saw Chasing Amy
and I was completely floored. What a fantastic movie. Anyway, I couldn't find this quote anywhere
on the web so it's taken from a script copy of the movie. I'm not trying to plagiarize here, I just
couldn't find it anywhere else. Enjoy.
BOB: Youre chasing Amy.
Holdens head snaps forward. He stares, wide-eyed at Silent Bob.
HOLDEN: What..what did you say?
BOB: Youre chasing Amy.
Holden stares, shocked. He looks to Jay, whos still rolling his joint.
JAY: What do you look so shocked for? He does this all the time. Fat bastard thinks just because he
never says anything, that itll have some huge impact when he does open his fucking mouth.
BOB: Why dont you shut up? Jesus! Always yap, yap, yapping all the time. Give me a fucking headache.
(says to Holden) I went through something like what youre going through. Years ago. Same kind of
thing with a girl named Amy.
JAY: When?
BOB: A couple of years ago.
JAY: Whatd she Live in Canada or something? Why dont I remember this?
BOB: What you dont know about me I can just about squeeze into the Grand fucking Canyon. Did you know
I always wanted to be a dancer in Vegas?
Jay and Holden look at him. Silent Bob busts a move with his hands.
BOB: Hunhh? Bet you didnt know that?
JAY: Just tell your fucking story so we can get out of here and smoke this.
BOB: (to Holden) So theres me an Amy, and were all inseparable, right? Just big time in
love. And then about four months in, I ask about the ex-boyfriend. Dumb move, I know, but you know
how it is - you dont really want to know, but you just have to... stupid guy bullshit.
Anyway she starts telling me all about him - how they dated for years, lived together, her mother
likes me better, blah, blah, blah - and Im okay. But then she tells me that a couple times,
he brought other people to bed with them - menage a tois, I believe its called. Now this just
blows my mind. I mean, Im not used to that sort of thing, right? I was raised Catholic.
JAY: Saint Shithead.
Silent Bob backhands him. Jay raises his fist as if to strike.
BOB: Do something.
(says to Holden) So I get weirded out, and just start
blasting her, right? This is the only
way I can deal with it - by calling
her a slut, and telling her that she
was used - I mean, Im out for blood I
want to hurt her - because I dont
know how to deal with what Im
feeling. And Im like "What the fuck
is wrong with you?" and shes telling
me that it was that time, in that
place, and she didnt do anything
wrong, so shes not gonna apologize.
So I tell her its over, and I walk.
JAY: Fucking A.
BOB: No, idiot. It was a mistake. I
wasnt disgusted with her, I was
afraid. At that moment, I felt small -
like Id lacked experience, like Id
never be on her level or never be
enough for her or something.
And what I didnt get was that she
didnt care. She wasnt looking for
that guy anymore. She was looking for
me. But by the time I realized this,
it was too late, you know. Shed
moved on, and all I had to show for it
was some foolish pride, which then
gave way to regret. She was the girl,
I know that now. But I pushed her
away...
Everyones silent Silent Bob lights a cigarette.
BOB: So Ive spent every day since then
chasing Amy...
(takes a drag from his smoke)
So to speak.
-Chasing Amy
Holden: I love you. And not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a
misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. And it's not because
you're unattainable. I love you. Very simple, very truly. You're the epitome of every attribute and
quality I've ever looked for in another person. I know you think of me as just a friend, and crossing
that line is the furthest thing from an option you'd ever consider. But I had to say it. I can't take
this anymore. I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't look into your eyes
without feeling that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without
wanting to express my love for everything you are. I know this will probably queer our friendship -no
pun intended- but I had to say it, because I've never felt this before, and I like who I am because
of it. And if bringing it to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But I couldn't
allow another day to go by without getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look
on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And I'll accept that. But I know some part of you is
hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, that means you feel something too.
All I ask is that you not dismiss that -at least for ten seconds- and try to dwell in it. Alyssa,
there isn't another soul on this fucking planet who's ever made me half the person I am when I'm with
you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it's
there between you and me. You can't deny that. And even if we never speak again after tonight, please
know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me, which -while I do
appreciate it- I'd never need a painting of birds bought at a diner to remind me of.

Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.

Wanda: I hate people.
Henry: I don't. I just like it better when they're not around.

Dante: A girl makes a guy cum, it's standard. A guy makes a girl cum, it's talent.
-Clerks
Randal: Who cares? That guy's an asshole. Everybody that comes in here is way too uptight. This job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers.
-Clerks
Silent Bob: You know, there's a million fine-looking women in the world dude, but they don't all bring you lasagna at work, most of them just cheat on you.
-Clerks
Brodie: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned for Sega. (I once had an ex who got pissed at me for
getting up out of bed to play TradeWars at 2am, and this was AFTER sex, snuggling, and listening to
her snore for 10 minutes)

Jules: It ain't no ballpark either. Look maybe your method of massage differs from mine, but touchin' his lady's feet, and stickin' your tongue in her holyiest of holies, ain't the same ballpark, ain't the same league, ain't even the same fuckin' sport. Foot massages don't mean shit.

Mr. Pink: I'm very sorry the government taxes their tips, that's fucked up. That ain't my fault. It would seem to me that waitresses are one of the many groups the government fucks in the ass on a regular basis. Look, if you ask me to sign something that says the governemnt shouldn't do that, I'll sign it, put it to a vote, I'll vote for it, but what I won't do is play ball. And as for this non-college bullshit I got two words for that: learn to fuckin' type, 'cause if you're expecting me to help out with the rent you're in for a big fuckin' surprise. (I never tip unless it's above par service.. I don't tip for average)

Robert Boyd: If you take away the horror of the scene, take away the tragedy of the death, take away all the moral and ethical implications that have been drilled into your head since grade one, do you know what you're left with? A 105-pound problem that needs to be moved from point A to point B.

-Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Caretaker: Oh I ain't saying you did or you didn't. All I'm saying is that you could have robbed banks, sold dope or stole your grandmother's pension checks and none of us would have minded. But shaving points off of a football game, man that's un-American

Cynthia: The organ itself seemed like a, a separate thing, um, a separate entity to me. I mean, when he finally pulled it out, and I could look at it and touch it, I completely forgot that there was a guy attached to it. I remember literally being startled when the guy spoke to me.
