Lightning could strike


PARRISH.- 
Do you love Drew? 

SUSAN.-
...There's a start for a meeting. 

PARRISH.-
I know it's none of my business -- 

SUSAN.-
No, it's none of your business.

PARRISH.-
Do you love Drew? 

SUSAN.-
You mean like you loved Mom?

PARRISH.-
Forget about me and Mom --
are you going to marry him? 

SUSAN.-
Probably. 

PARRISH.-
(smiles) 
Don't get carried away. 

SUSAN.-
Uh oh -- 

PARRISH.-
Susan, you're a hell of a woman. You've
got a great career, you're beautiful 

SUSAN.-
And I'm your daughter and no man
 will ever be good enough for me. 

PARRISH.-
Well, I wasn't going to say that -- 

SUSAN.-
What were you going to say? 

PARRISH.-
Listen, I'm crazy about the guy -- He's
smart, he's aggressive, he could carry
Parrish Communication and me aloong with it. 

SUSAN.-
So what's wrong with that? 

PARRISH.-
That's for me. I'm talking about you.
 It's not so much what you say
 about Drew, it's what you don't say. 

SUSAN.-
You're not listening -- 

PARRISH.-
Oh yes, I am. Not an ounce of
 excitement, not a whisper of a
 thrill, this relationship has all the
passion of a pair of titmice. 

SUSAN.-
Don't get dirty, Dad -- 

PARRISH.-
Well, it worries me. I want you to get swept
away. I want you to levitate. I want you to
sing with rapture and dance like a dervish. 

SUSAN.-
 That's all? 

PARRISH.-
Be deliriously happy. Or at
least leave yourself open to be. 

SUSAN.-
'Be deliriously happy'. I'm going
 to do my upmost -- He smiles. 

PARRISH.-
I know it's a cornball thing but love
is passion, obsession, someone you
can't live without. If you don't start
with that, what are you going to end
up with? I say fall head over heels. Find
someone you can love like crazy and
who'll love you the same way back.
 And how do you find him? Forget your
head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing
any heart. (a moment) Run the risk, if you
get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth
 is there is no sense living your life without this.
 To make the journey and not fall deeply in
love -- well, you haven't lived a life at all.
 You have to try. Because if you haven't
tried, you haven't lived. 

SUSAN.-
 Bravo. 

PARRISH.-
Aw, you're tough. 

SUSAN.-
I'm sorry. But give it to me again. The short version. 

PARRISH.-
Stay open. Who knows? Lightning could strike.

Yeah, this is good


HARRY.- This is much better... fresh air... I have the streets all to myself.... who needs to be at a big, crowded party pretending to have a good time? 

Plus, this is the perfect time to catch up on my window shopping. This is good.

¿Qué hacer?


tú lo sabes.

conservar la distancia
renunciar a lo natural
y dejar que el agua corra.

Yet another one


Seriouslly. I don't consider myself romantic at all. But I don't know why I enjoy these videos so much. It's like a guilty pleasure.

and wishful thinking too








Coincidence. That's all anything ever is. Nothing more than coincidence.

Would you like to have dinner?... Just friends.




SALLY.- We are just going to be friends, OK?
HARRY.- Great, friends. It's the best thing...You realize, of course, that we can never be friends.
SALLY.- Why not?
HARRY.- What I'm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape, or form - is that men and women can't be friends, because the sex part always gets in the way.
SALLY.- That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
HARRY.- No, you don't.
SALLY.- Yes, I do.
HARRY.- No, you don't.
SALLY.- Yes, I do.
HARRY.- You only think you do.
SALLY.- You're saying I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
HARRY.- No, what I'm saying is they all want to have sex with you.
SALLY.- They do not.
HARRY.- Do too.
SALLY.- They do not.
HARRY.- Do too.
SALLY.- How do you know?
HARRY.- Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
SALLY.- So you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive. HARRY.- No, you pretty much want to nail them, too.
SALLY.- What if they don't want to have sex with you?
HARRY.- Doesn't matter, because the sex thing is already out there, so the friendship is ultimately doomed, and that is the end of the story.

Yo soy el capitán de mi existencia

Fuera de la noche que me cubre,
Negro como el abismo de polo a polo,
Agradezco a los dioses cualesquiera que sean
Por mi alma invicta.

Caído en las garras de la circunstancia
No he hecho una mueca, ni he gritado en voz alta.
Bajo los golpes del destino
Mi cabeza está ensangrentada, pero erguida.

Más allá de este lugar de cólera y lágrimas
Telares, pero no el horror de la sombra,
Y sin embargo, la amenaza de los años
Busca, y así me encontrará, sin miedo.

No importa cuán estrecho sea el camino,
Cuán cargada de castigo la sentencia.
Yo soy el amo de mi destino:
Yo soy el capitán de mi existencia.

Invictus

Don't patronize


Morning will come,
And I'll do what's right;
Just give me till then
To give up this fight.
