Favorite movie dialog, Part II:
Clairee: I was reading this fascinating book about Anne Boleyn. Did you know she had six fingers?
Ouiser (from the other room): What happened to the other four?
Clairee (shouting): She had eleven total!
-Steel Magnolias
I don’t know why this makes me laugh so much, but it does. As usual, I will be seeking treatment as soon as possible.
I think the bigger question is why are you watching that movie? How can someone be such a fan of Fight Club and Raising Arizona and watch the crap on film that Steel Magnolias is? Yeesh.
My favorite exchange from that movie is:
“I think we’d better pray”
“I’d rather eat dirt!”
I used to always say the line, “Well of course you can!” …a line exclaimed by Olympia D. in that movie. I don’t know why that stuck out — an impressionable mind.
Ok, I’m a chick, so I can say, with pride, that I love this movie. One of my favorite quotes from it was from Ouiser: “You are a boil on the butt of humanity.”
Mosey: I have wide-ranging tastes.
The fact is, while the movie is pap, it’s well-produced, well-written, well-acted pap.
