Is the door closed?



Harry: Listen, Dexter, whatever you think is right, is wrong. He asks you a question. I what you to think your answer first and tell him the exact oppisite, okay?


Doctor: So, let's just jump in, alright? Does it make you angry when your teacher tell you what to do?

Dexter: [Stumbled] No.

Doctor: Are you often bored?

Dexter: No.

Doctor: Have you ever...killed an animal?

Dexter: No, never.


Harry: You really impressed me, son. I don't know how you did it, but a great job.

Dexter: I just pretend to be someone else.

Harry: It was working, keep doing it. I mean even the doctor didn't see the monsters inside you. I mean not monsters, just you know, you have these dark urges. Anyway, good job.

我滴寶貝上哪兒去瞭?





黑人究竟哪一條基因跟我們不一樣?
如此拔辣又沒營養的靡靡之音, 幹為什麼黑鬼唱起來好聽的他媽的一蹋糊塗?




John Legend - Where Did My Baby Go (live @ Royal Albert Hall)




Where did my baby go
I wonder where she ran off too
I miss my baby so
I'm calling but I can't get through

Please tell that girl if you meet her
That someone's longing to see her
Where did my baby go
I wish that she would get back soon
get back soon

I'm searching for the lover that I knew
have you see her
where did she go
feels like I just lost my only friend

plains subsided colours faded
love just got so complicated
wished that I could see her smile again

so if you see her out there
tell her i'm still here
waiting for the date when she will reappear

Where did my baby go
I wonder where she ran off too
I miss my baby so
I'm calling but I can't get through

Please tell that girl if you meet her
That someone's longing to see her
Where did my baby go
I wish that she would get back soon
get back soon

Maybe I was wrong and I
Ignored her for too long and I
Didn't even notice when she slipped away

maybe while I lay fast asleep
when out into the night she creeps
i'll leave the light on
so she will come back someday

if you see her out there
tell her its not fair
and the life just not the same when she's not here

Where did my baby go
I wonder where she ran off too
I miss my baby so
Just what i'm suppose to do

Please tell that girl if you meet her
That someone's longing to see her
Where did my baby go
I wish that she would get back soon
get back soon

get back soon
get back soon
oh woo...
oh...
oh woo..

Where did my baby go
I wonder where she ran off too
I miss my baby so
Just what i'm suppose to do

Please tell that girl if you meet her
That someone's longing to see her
Where did my baby go
I wish that she would get back soon
get back soon
get back soon
oh get back soon...

Me, and Those Dreaming Eyes of Mine






...Your love be da cherry in my chocolate covered dreams





D'Angelo / Me, and Those Dreamin' Eyes of Mine





When I first saw you baby, I wanted to die
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine, started to cry
Then I'd dream, wishing my fantasy, would soon become a reality
Cause every time I see you baby, all I do is sigh
Cause you're the most precious thing
That my dreaming eyes has ever seen
So I'll continue to dream
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine

Is it just that you're the finest little thing
That I ever saw, or is my imagination running too far
Or is it that my eyes are telling me something you could never see
Something like me being with you, or you being with me

Ooh we...baby, you've redefined my vision of love it seems
Your love be da cherry in my chocolate covered dreams
So it seems, my oh my,
Me and those dreaming eyes of mine

Oh my goodness, here she comes, switching that ass
I wondered if the men in her past have treated he bad
But if I had the chance, I'd treat her like a Queen
Just like I do in all my dreams
If you only knew how many times that I think of you
I'm quite sure that you would find, I'm going out of my mind
My oh my, me and those dreaming eyes of mine.

這盤棋...




棋盤就是世界
棋子就是宇宙的現象
比賽規則就是所謂的自然定律
對手隱身不見

但我們知道他一向公平而有耐心
然而慘痛的經驗告訴我們
他絕對不會忽視任何錯誤
也絕對不肯寬容, 原諒無知

He's a real nowhere man
sitting in his nowhere land
making all his nowhere plans for nobody.





Beatles / from Yellow Submarine



Beatles / live @ Munich




The Rubber Soul Project (這誰啊?) / live @ home / 小尿布 (大心)





He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Doesn't have a point of view
knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, the world is at your command


He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all

Nowhere man don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody else
Lends you a hand

Doesn't have a point of view
knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere man please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, the world is at your command

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Mo cuishle means "My darling, my blood"

"You don't know how thick she is, how hard it was to train her. Other fighters would do exactly what you say to them and... and she'd ask why this and why that, and do it her own way, anyway." --- Million Dollar Baby - A story about a tough girl and a lost old man.

 

Memorable quotes for Million Dollar Baby (2004)


 

 


Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Frankie likes to say that boxing is an unnatural act, that everything in boxing is backwards: sometimes the best way to deliver a punch is to step back... But step back too far and you ain't fighting at all.






Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Boxing is an unnatural act. Cos everything in it is backwards. You wanna move to the left, you don't step left, you push on the right toe. To move right, you use your left toe. Instead of running from the pain - like a sane person would do, you step into it.





Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: If there's magic in boxing, it's the magic of fighting battles beyond endurance, beyond cracked ribs, ruptured kidneys and detached retinas. It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you.





Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: To make a fighter you gotta strip them down to bare wood: you can't just tell 'em to forget everything you know if you gotta make 'em forget even their bones... make 'em so tired they only listen to you, only hear your voice, only do what you say and nothing else... show 'em how to keep their balance and take it away from the other guy... how to generate momentum off their right toe and how to flex your knees when you fire a jab... how to fight backin' up so that the other guy doesn't want to come after you. Then you gotta show 'em all over again. Over and over and over... till they think they're born that way.





Frankie Dunn: You forgot the rule. Now, what is the rule?
Maggie Fitzgerald: Keep my left up?
Frankie Dunn: Is to protect yourself at all times. Now, what is the rule?
Maggie Fitzgerald: Protect myself at all times.
Frankie Dunn: Good. Good.





Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: All fighters are pig-headed some way or another: some part of them always thinks they know better than you about something. Truth is: even if they're wrong, even if that one thing is going to be the ruin of them, if you can beat that last bit out of them... they ain't fighters at all.





Maggie Fitzgerald: I seen you looking at me.
Frankie Dunn: Yeah, out of pity.
Maggie Fitzgerald: Don't you say that. Don't you say that if it ain't true. I want a trainer. I don't want charity, and I don't want favours.






Maggie Fitzgerald: I'm 32, Mr. Dunn, and I'm here celebrating the fact that I spent another year scraping dishes and waitressing which is what I've been doing since 13, and according to you, I'll be 37 before I can even throw a decent punch, which I have to admit, after working on this speed bag for a month, may be the God's simple truth. Other truth is, my brother's in prison, my sister cheats on welfare by pretending one of her babies is still alive, my daddy's dead, and my momma weighs 312lbs. If I was thinking straight, I'd go back home, find a used trailer, buy a deep fryer and some oreos. Problem is, this the only thing I ever felt good doing. If I'm too old for this, then I got nothing. That enough truth to suit you?





Frankie Dunn: What you learn tonight?
Maggie Fitzgerald: Always protect myself.
Frankie Dunn: What's the rule?
Maggie Fitzgerald: Always protect myself.






Frankie Dunn: How many eyes do you need to finish this fight?
Maggie Fitzgerald: One's enough.





Maggie Fitzgerald: She's tough, I can't go inside, I can't get close enough to hit her.
Frankie Dunn: You know why that is?
Maggie Fitzgerald: Why?
Frankie Dunn: Cause she's a better fighter than you are, that's why. She's younger, she's stronger, and she's more experienced. Now, what are you gonna do about it?






Maggie Fitzgerald: I've got nobody but you, Frankie.
Frankie Dunn: Well, you've got me.





Maggie Fitzgerald: I do have one favor to ask of you boss.
Frankie Dunn: Anything you want.
Maggie Fitzgerald: Remember what my daddy did for Axel?
Frankie Dunn: [long pause] Don't even think about that.
Maggie Fitzgerald: I can't be like this, Frankie. Not after what I've done. I've seen the world. People chanted my name. Well, not my name... some damn name you gave me. But they were chanting for me. I was in magazines. You think I ever dreamed that'd happen? I was born two pounds, one-and-a-half ounces. Daddy used to tell me I'd fight my way into this world, and I'd fight my way out. That's all I wanna do, Frankie. I just don't wanna fight you to do it. I got what I needed. I got it all. Don't let 'em keep taking it away from me. Don't let me lie here 'till I can't hear those people chanting no more.






Maggie Fitzgerald: Working the bag, boss.
Frankie Dunn: I'm not your boss and that bag's working you.






Maggie Fitzgerald: Did you see the fight?
Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: Of course I did. You had her cold, Maggie.
Maggie Fitzgerald: I shouldn't have dropped my hand. I shouldn't have turned. Always protect myself... how many times did he tell me that?






Maggie Fitzgerald: [first meeting] Mr. Dunn?
Frankie Dunn: Hmm. I owe you money?
Maggie Fitzgerald: No sir.
Frankie Dunn: I know your mama?
Maggie Fitzgerald: Don't rightly know, sir.
Frankie Dunn: Then what is it you want?





Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.





Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris: [about Maggie's decision to go by air and back by car] She made her return trip by ambulance.





Maggie Fitzgerald: You don't have to hang around all day.
Frankie Dunn: I like it here. I don't mind. In fact, if you weren't here, I'd come here anyway to read my books.





Maggie Fitzgerald: They took my leg, boss.
Frankie Dunn: It's gonna be allright, you hear?
Maggie Fitzgerald: I always hear your voice, boss.

You Look So Fine





You look so fine
I want to break your heart
And give you mine





Garbage / You Look So Fine



You look so fine
I want to break your heart
And give you mine
You're taking me over

It's so insane
You've got me tethered and chained
I hear your name
And I'm falling over

I'm not like all the other girls
I can't take it like the other girls
I won't share it like the other girls
That you used to know

You look so fine~

Knocked down
Cried out
Been down just to find out
I'm through
Bleeding for you

I'm open wide
I want to take you home
We'll waste some time
You're the only one for me

You look so fine
I'm like the desert tonight
Leave her behind
If you want to show me

I'm not like all the other girls
I won't take it like the other girls
I won't fake it like the other girls
That you used to know

You're taking me over
Over and over
I'm falling over
Over and over

You're taking me over

Drown in me one more time
Hide inside me tonight
Do what you want to do
Just pretend happy end
Let me know let it show
Ending with letting go

Ending with letting go
Ending with letting go

Let's pretend, happy end
Let's pretend, happy end
Let's pretend, happy end
Let's pretend, happy end

Nathan Muir: Solicit information from someone .

Tom Bishop: Gladly.

Nathan Muir: You just gave her four pieces of personal information for one dubious inpersonal fact.

Tom Bishop:  I was just trying to find out where she got that dress.

Nathan Muir: Ok-what did you tell her...one, you're straight, two, you're engaged, three, tomorrow's your girls' birthday and four, you have no taste in women's fashion. What if she were an asset? You told her four lies that now have to be true.

Well, Clarice... have the lambs stopped screaming?

經典到後無來者的愛樂根老變態  

 

Hannibal Lecter: You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition's given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling? And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed: pure West Virginia. What is your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamp? You know how quickly the boys found you... all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars... while you could only dream of getting out... getting anywhere... getting all the way to the FBI.
Clarice Starling: You see a lot, Doctor. But are you strong enough to point that high-powered perception at yourself? What about it? Why don't you - why don't you look at yourself and write down what you see? Or maybe you're afraid to.

#1 Crush





...I will sell my soul for something pure and true, someone like you




垃圾終於出精選瞭...
Garbage / #1 Crush



I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine

I will cry for you
I will cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear

I will pray for you
I will pray for you
I will sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I'm talking
You will believe in me
And I will never be ignored

I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
And tear it apart

I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see
You're just like me

Violate all the love that I'm missing
Throw away all the pain that I'm living
You will believe in me
And I can never be ignored

I would die for you
I would kill for you
I will steal for you
I'd do time for you
I will wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sail ships for you
To be close to you
To be part of you
Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you

Evil prevails!


小吉的軍火之王

不管看幾次都這麼的中肯.....

 

Memorable quotes for Lord of War (2005)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0399295/quotes

 

[first lines]
Yuri Orlov: [voiceover] You don't have to worry. I'm not gonna tell you a pack of lies to make me look good. I'm just gonna tell you what happened.





Yuri Orlov: There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11?





Anatoly Orlov: Is this how you want to be remembered?
Yuri Orlov: I don't want to be remembered at all. That means I'm dead.





Yuri Orlov: There are two types of tragedies in life. One is not getting what you want, the other is getting it.





Yuri Orlov: In my experience, some of the most successful relationships are based on lies and deceit. Since that's where they usually end up anyway, it's a logical place to start.





Yuri Orlov: The problem with dating dream girls is that they have a tendency to become real.





Jack Valentine: I would tell you to go to hell, but I think you're already there.





Yuri Orlov: They say, "Evil prevails when good men fail to act." What they ought to say is, "Evil prevails."




Yuri Orlov: There are three basic types of arms deal. White being legal, black being illegal, and my personal favorite color, gray.






Yuri Orlov: The reason I'll be released is the same reason you think I'll be convicted. I *do* rub shoulders with some of the most vile, sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. But some of these men are the enemies of *your* enemies. And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss - the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year - sometimes it's embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So. You call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I'm a necessary evil.





Ava Fontaine: I feel like all I've done my whole life is be pretty. I mean, all I've done is be born! I'm a failed actress, a failed artist... I'm not much good as a mother. Come to think of it, I'm not even that pretty anymore. I have failed at everything, Yuri... but I won't fail as a human being.






Yuri Orlov: Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars.





Yuri Orlov: Enjoy it.
Jack Valentine
: What?
Yuri Orlov: This. Tell me I'm everything you despise. That I'm the personification of evil. That I'm what- responsible for the breakdown of the fabric of society and world order. I'm a one-man genocide. Say everything you want to say to me now. Because you don't have long.





Yuri Orlov: Selling a gun for the first time is a lot like having sex for the first time. You're excited but you don't really know what the hell you're doing. And some way, one way or another, it's over too fast.






Yuri Orlov: Luckily we live in a world where suspicion alone does not constitute a crime.






Yuri Orlov: I had a flair for languages. But I soon discovered that what talks best is dollars, dinars, drachmas, rubles, rupees and pounds fucking sterling.





Yuri Orlov: Any friend of my brothers' is a... a friend of my brothers'.





[last lines]
Yuri Orlov: You know who's going to inherit the Earth? Arms dealers. Because everyone else is too busy killing each other. That's the secret to survival. Never go to war. Especially with yourself.

非固體材料

在印度有這麼一個造物主創造男人和女人的傳說...

 

天神在造完男人以後.發現固體的材料已經用光了.沒有可以造女人的東西了
天神思索了許久.然後找來了下面這許多種材料來:

月兒的圓潤.蔓藤的彎曲.芳草的微顫.蘆葦的纖長.花朵的開放.葉片的光滑.
陽光的明朗.蜜糖的甜美.老虎的殘酷.火焰的熱情.霜雪的冰冷.喜鵲的饒舌.
夜鶯的嗓音.白鶴的虛假.以及母獅的信心...

 天神把這些非固體的元素都混合起來.造了一個女人出來.然後把她交給男人...

 

過了一個禮拜.男人來找天神說:
 "主啊.你給我的那個受造物.讓我的日子過得苦不堪言.
   她不停地說話.並且百般地折磨.我使我不得安寧.忍無可忍.
   我已經連片刻的休息時間都沒有了.她還要我無時無刻地不注意照顧她.
   我的時間全浪費掉了.另外.每一件芝麻大的小事都會惹她哭.
   為了能再過清靜的日子.我把她還給你.因為我實在不能跟她在一起"

天神說: "好吧" 他就領回了那女人...

 

又過了一個禮拜.男人又來找天神說:
 "自從我把那個受造物給給你以後.我的日子好空虛啊!
  我一直在想她--想她怎麼跳舞唱歌.想她怎麼用眼角看我.
  還有她怎麼跟我喋喋不休.然後又跟我挨挨靠靠.
  她看我的眼神太美了.太溫柔了.我還喜歡聽見她笑.請把她還給我吧"

 天神說: "好吧" 他就把女人還給那男人了...  

 

可是三天後.男人又回來說: 
"主啊.我簡真糊塗了.我是說不清我跟那個受造物之間的經驗.
  我做個結論吧.她給我的煩惱比快樂多. 
  我求求你.把她收回去吧.我沒法子跟她過日子"

天神這次說:
 "可是沒有她.你也沒法子過日子!"  說完了.就轉過身去.繼續做自己的活兒...

 

只留下那個男人絕望地說:
 "我該怎麼辦哪? 有她.我活不下去.沒有她.我也活不了!"

煮酒論英雄





史上莊孝維第一名..........







酒至半酣,忽陰雲漠漠,驟雨將至。從人遙指天外龍挂,操與玄德欄觀之。

操日:「使君知龍之變化否?」
玄德曰:「未知其詳。」

操曰:「龍能大能小,能升能隱;大則興雲吐霧,小則隱介藏形;升則飛騰於宇宙之間,隱則潛伏於波濤之內。方今春深,龍乘時變化,猶人得志而縱橫四海。龍之為物,可比世之英雄。玄德久歷四方,必知當世英雄。請試指言之。」

玄德曰:「備肉眼安識英雄?」
操曰:「休得過謙。」

玄德曰:「備叨恩庇,得仕於朝。天下英雄,實有未知。」
操曰:「既不識其面,亦聞其名。」

玄德曰:「淮南袁術,兵糧足備,可為英雄?」
操笑曰:「塚中枯骨,吾早晚必擒之!」

玄德曰:「河北袁紹,四世三公,門多故吏;今虎踞冀州之地,部下能事者極多,可為英雄?」
操笑曰:「袁紹色厲膽薄,好謀無斷;幹大事而惜身,見小利而忘命:非英雄也。」

玄德曰:「有一人名稱八俊,威鎮九州--劉景升可為英雄?」
操曰:「劉表虛名無實,非英雄也。」

玄德曰:「有一人血氣方剛,江東領袖--孫伯苻乃英雄也?」
操曰:「孫策藉父之名,非英雄也。」

玄德曰:「益州劉季玉,可為英雄乎?」
操曰:「劉璋雖係宗室,乃守戶之犬耳,何足為英雄!」

玄德曰:「如張繡、張魯、韓遂等輩皆何如?」
操鼓掌大笑曰:「此等碌碌小人,何足挂齒!」

玄德曰:「舍此之外,備實不知。」
操曰:「夫英雄者:胸懷大志,腹有良謀,有包藏宇宙之機,吞吐天地之志者也。」

玄德曰:「誰能當之?」
操以手指玄德,後自指曰:「今天下英雄,惟使君與操耳。」

玄德聞言,吃了一驚,手中所執匙筋,不覺落於地下。時正值天兩將至,雷聲大作。
玄德乃從容俯首拾筋曰:「一震之威,乃至於此。」
操笑曰:「丈夫亦畏雷乎?」
玄德曰:「聖人迅雷風烈必變,安得不畏?」
將聞言失筋緣故,輕輕掩飾過了。操遂不疑玄德。
