This line was written as "... weekend in Dallas ..." (it is even easy to read Pickens's lips as he says it during filming). However, just before it was supposed to be released, President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas so Pickens overdubbed his line.

Thank you, asdfasdf!

Part of interview about her film "Mother's Boys":

”I’m a trash bag of a woman,” she says. ”I’m vulgar. I’m insane. I’m strange. I’m just a weird, twisted creature.”

”Unfortunately, a lot got taken out,” she says. ”American audiences apparently don’t want to see me (performing oral sex on) Gallagher, which I thought was important to the story. You needed to see the sexual power my character has over him. I think the movie was a fuller, more realistic portrait before it got cut.”

(This is the first that I had ever heard about this. The article I got the quotes from had this from the director: "The test audience reacted very badly. There are certain things that mothers just should not do."

Everything Chazz Michael Michaels said on Blades of Glory. That was a funny movie.

"Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity."

Monty Python troupe's audible small talk from the Cocktail Bar sketch, Live At Drury Lane.

John: ... all the family into debt, except for a half sister, who was obsessed with vanadium. Rigged the market, made a cool forty million, paid off the Lord Mayor, and put the lot into diesel powered nuns.
Terry J: Which is where it went wrong, eh ...
Michael: Exactly!
John: Oh he hasn't killed himself yet.
Terry J: He hasn't?
John: Oh no, waiting to April the 5th.
Michael: Some sort of tax dodge.
...
John: So see what's in page eight. Nixon's had an arsehole transplant.
Michael: Well, have you, eh, you've seen the stop press though? The arsehole's rejected him.
...
Terry J: How about ol' Cohen Barkley?
John: Eh?
Terry J: Oh mind a cork, sold [???] switched the wood preservertives into vinaigre. Sold the bottles right next to [???]. Smart fellow's always gonna do well. Nice bloke, said I.
Michael: Funny looking chap, you know ... buttocks bent the wrong way. Every time he sat down he fell over. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Don't make me laugh.

If all that Americans want is security, they can go to prison. They'll have enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads. But if an American wants to preserve his dignity and his equality as a human being, he must not bow his neck to any dictatorial government.

History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.

Forces of good and evil are massed and armed and opposed as rarely before in history. Freedom is pitted against slavery; lightness against the dark... In the final choice, a soldier's pack is not so heavy a burden as a prisoner's chains.

I have found out in later years that we were very poor, but the glory of America is that we didn't know it then.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.

What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog.

The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter.

Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.

The speed, accuracy and devastating power of American Artillery won confidence and admiration from the troops it supported and inspired fear and respect in their enemy.

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.

Should any political party attempt to abolish social security unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group of course that believes you can do these things. Among them are a few other Texas oil millionaires and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.

Today in America, unions have a secure place in our industrial life. Only a handful of reactionaries harbor the ugly thought of breaking unions and depriving working men and women of the right to join the union of their choice. I have no use for those - regardless of their political party - who hold some vain and foolish dream of spinning the clock back to days when organized labor was huddled, almost as a hapless mass. Only a fool would try to deprive working men and women of the right to join the union of their choice.

Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.

Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.

If a man's associates find him guilty of being phony, if they find that he lacks forthright integrity, he will fail. His teachings and actions must square with each other. The first great need, therefore, is integrity and high purpose.

It is better to have one person working with you than three people working for you.

Things are more like they are now than they ever were before.

The world must learn to work together, or finally it will not work at all.

Do not needlessly endanger your lives until I give you the signal.

Beware the military-industrial complex.

Only Americans can hurt America.
