quotes, the Soloist, the movie, 2009

Steve Lopez:  A year ago, I met a man who was down on his luck and thought I might be able to help him. I don’t know that I have. Yes, my friend Mr. Ayers now sleeps inside. He has a key. He has a bed. But his mental state, and his well-being, are as precarious now as they were the day we met. There are people who tell me I’ve helped him. Mental health experts who say that the simple act of being someone’s friend can change his brain chemistry, improve his functioning in the world. I can’t speak for Mr. Ayers in that regard. Maybe our friendship has helped him. But maybe not. I can, however, speak for myself. I can tell you that by witnessing Mr. Ayers’s courage, his humility, his faith in the power of his art, I’ve learned the dignity of being loyal to something you believe in. Of holding onto it, above all else. Of believing, without question, that it will carry you home.

Eliot Deacon: Imagine, Anna, the whole world…your mother, your fiancé, your friends…everyone has buried you. They have placed a stone above your body, and they’ve said their goodbyes…and gone back to their Tv dinners… and shopping malls thinking… that this is never going to happen to them.

Second one is your best friend. He saved your life, right… And third, is the girl of your dream. You only have station call for one person…right?  Who will you take?

We learn from it. And we get back on the god damn truck and that’s how we honor Dennis. You got that? Anyone think about lowering the flag? Do it!

-No worries. Thanks for the warning, though.
-You’re welcome. Pops… If you dance with the devil, the devil don’t change. The devil changes you.

quotes, the legend of 1900, the movie, 1998

quotes, the football factory, the movie, 2004

-There’s nothing different about me. I’m just another bored male, approaching 30, in a dead-end job, who lives for the weekend. Casual sex, watered-down lager, heavily cut drugs. And occasionally kicking fuck out of someone.

-My granddad, old Bill Farrell, drove us to drink with his stories about the war and how he fought to put the “Great” into Britain. He said fighting at football was nothing compared to fighting with the Germans… Although, he was right. We’re an island race. It’s what we do best. It’s not about color or race, it’s just the buzz of being in the frontline. Truth is, I just love to fight.

-Tell me more about the air conditioning, Rodney. I’m fascinated.
-Air conditioning?
-You told me you run an air conditioning firm.
-Oh, we have a few vans out on jobs most of the time. Yeah, sure it’s always busier in the summer, of course. Nothing like a soaring temperature to help the work, you know what I mean? Anyway, most of the time I just sit around the office waiting for the weekend. Don’t get me wrong, I love the money the job pays. But my real passion lies in kicking people’s fucking heads in at football. See, I got to channel it somewhere. As you can probably tell by my bulging stomach, I don’t participate in too many sporting activities. And I don’t do drugs. Well, that’s not entirely true, but not a lot. So I got to have my release in something, and a good fucking fight seems like the best way. Wouldn’t you agree? Maybe not.

-We’ll get the beers safe and then we’ll outflank ‘em, yeah?

quotes, hooligans, the movie, 2005

-You don’t run, not when you’re with us… You stand your ground and fight!

-I’ve never lived closer to danger, but I’ve never felt safer. I’ve never felt more confident, and people could spot it from a mile away. And as for this, the violence? I gotta be honest – it grew on me. Once you’ve taken a few punches and realize you’re not made of glass, you don’t feel alive unless you’re pushing yourself as far as you can go.

-You know the best part? It isn’t knowing that your friends have your back. It’s knowing that you have your friends’ back.

-So, I’m guessing you’re not much of a fighter.
-Fighter? That’s probably the first fight I ever had.
-You call that a fight?
