Post subject: Write your famous quote/monologue from a movie you'd make |
|
|
Here's a challenge/experiment I've been wanting to try out for the last two months or so. The recent article on monologues kinda got my arse into gear.
The premise: There are millions of famous quotes and monologues in movies. Sometimes they're so famous, they end up defining the movie itself. The most recent example is the famous "I wish I knew how to quit you." from Brokeback Mountain.
Others include:
"Use the force."
"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."
"I love the smell of Napalm in the morning."
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist..."
"I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"
"That's not a knife. THIS is a knife."
etc, etc, etc (a quote from the king and i)
Meanwhile, we waltz through our lives and hear people say things or even think to ourselves random thoughts, and then suddenly think, "That would make a good line for a movie!"
Here's the challenge: Pretend you're making the movie you've always dreams about making. You're writing it and directing it. And the producers give you full creative control. Think carefully about what movie you're making too. Make sure you have a clear idea what it's about, who the characters are, and what's involved. It doesn't have to be a completely plotted film in your head, but just enough to give yourself a general idea.
Now if you could have one of your characters to say either: a) one line or b) one short monologue to sum up the movie... a line to be remembered forever in movie history as one of the greatest lines in any film ever... what would your quote be?
You don't have to tell us anything about your movie's plot or context. Leave a bit of mystery to the line. Just write it here.
Mine would be this:
"It feels good to sleep. Finally."
Your turn. _________________ A suitable ending, I think! |

"That would be lame. I'm not going to leave you."
And, if we can include memorable dialogue:
"So, you think there's a parody shuttle run?"
"Maybe if they made an astronaut do it. But that might be the irony shuttle run."
or, simply
"Piggyback."
"Some pig."
ps somebody make my goddamn movie _________________

"Oh my God, he's dead!"
"Wow, gang! We sure are experiencing some entertaining drama now!"
I'd mostly just like to see how it'd get worked into the movie. _________________

If I could have complete control of an adaptation of a book: microserfs
"Dad had been put to work by Micheal after he got laid off from IBM. He's been in that room for weeks, and just now do we get to see this entire room of legos. The basetrim. The windowsills. Even the walls. Then I noticed it. He saw that I noticed it: up in the top corner of the room, was a little house. He gave me that look. He looked at me like he was about to tell the biggest secret."
"Is that Jeb's?"
"Y-Yes. Looking down on us."
From my own:
"Patience, my friend, patience."
"That's Milicent. AKA, the fuckit girl. I know what you're thinking, and no. She is by no means a slut. She just has terrible luck, and subject to any irritating accident possible. Like she's the soul inheritor of Murphy's Law."
"Ah! Fuck!
"Things like this doesn't happen. This happens in stories, urban legends and myths. This place doesn't belong to the bad people. They don't know about this placem or at least they didn't." |
